I think when Ed morphs it's kind of like being so out-of-control emotionally that you're like a different being, haha. I think another part of it is because they are adapting a manga (though about halfway through they totally split from it cause they ran out of manga to adapt, which is why they started the show over again and re-made it as "Brotherhood" btw. That's a whole other bucket of fish). It's a way to convey emotion in a still drawing and they brought it into the show for faithfulness and humor. At this point after four or so years I'm so used to it that I don't even really notice, haha.
They should have started it with "Mother," yeah. That's a common critique. I think they really wanted to start with ACTION ACTION ACTION WE ARE FIGHTING A PRIEST AND A LION THING! to get boys to watch. I think the manga starts the same way, but I can't find my first volume...But I didn't even get that six or so episodes were flashbacks the first time through.
I think Edo is pretty complex. Moreso later. I don't think it's really possible to compare it with SPN after a point because Sam and Dean are ten or so years older, though.
I didn't care about the military or their story the first time through, but now I really do. I love Riza Hawkeye.
