This once again was off the main storyline of the series, no Cas, Chuck, Angels, Demons, or even a hint of Lucifer and yet I did seem to enjoy it for the most part.
The bit with Old Dean running up stairs because the elevator was out of order was a bit predictable as was the fact that his old body could not digest the burgers he's so fond of when he's his normal self. That being said the actor cast to play Dean as an old man did a good job mimicking Dean's gestures and general attitude. He was much more believable than "Old Bobby" who was just middle aged Bobby with grey hair and a cough.
I found it odd that the brothers did not feel the need to hunt the gambler at the end of the episode and that they were content to simply let him be (maybe the fact that he was forced to kill his partner at the end of it all was punishment enough). I really did enjoy the actor who played the gambler. He had a worldly way about him that mixed well with his supernatural abilities and reminded me of the character of Doyle from Angel (though it was probably just the accent).
Sam stepped it up this week and saved the day when both Bobby and Dean failed miserably to do so. I must admit that it is nice to have Sam and Dean truly on the same side working for the same goals again. It seems they have finally truly gotten over the "you ended the world" finger pointing.
