If you can't have meta, have pretty pictures (with hints of meta nonetheless, because it's you after all). I approve!
Despite all of the characterisation problems that resulted from the switch I utterly adore this episode. It's easy to just take it out of context, overlook the continuity problems and just enjoy it for the silliness and brotherly goodness.
One thing: I don't quite get why people think that Dean letting Sam go after Ed alone is so extraordinary. We have seen them separated plenty in the last couple of seasons: They often split up to pursue different leads (most of them potentially dangerous) or for one to get the victim to safety while the other confronts the monster. Often that's Dean, true, but not always. I think Dean always felt that Sam was capable and can handle himself well. He prefers to have his back, but he is okay to leave Sam alone with potentially dangerous stuff, if it's necessary or if he has different goals.
