We finally watched it last night. I know, I know. I enjoyed it. I did guess about Castiel right away, and it does fit with what they showed/did, though I'd rather they'd picked someone else--Castiel is a minor angel found only in occult lore, whereas Cassiel, for example, is the ruler of Saturn and the angel of temperance. Oh well.
I do like the setup that we have one brother using demonic powers and one unwillingly using angelic powers. I don't know about the faith thing, though--I don't think it's as simple as saying Sam lost his or Dean found his. Dean still has no faith--it's part of why he couldn't see or hear Castiel. Sam still believes, he just doesn't care. But that may change, esp. once he hears about Castiel.
I think it's going to be an interesting season. And I mean that in a good way.
