I definitely appreciated wet!Sam. (Though I'm not sure why his hair was wet, but whatever.) And threatening!Dean was pretty damn hot, too.
But I'm annoyed at how clumsy the main storyline was: we're going to bring Metatron back so we can show Dean getting closer to the edge and as a very thin excuse to bring the First Blade back, but then we're just going to stop it there because Cas promised he wouldn't let Metatron get hurt. Um, okay. I agree that the scene with Metatron calling Dean out for everything he did to Sam and Kevin was great, so maybe it was worth it for that?
On the other hand, I'm pleased to have the First Blade back in play, because my personal theory is that the Mark won't be satisfied until the person bearing it spills his brother's blood with the Blade.
Hair was wet because it was pouring with rain. Teeming down (I figure they had to get the scene shot, no matter the weather!).
And I agree. Bringing back Metatron really made no sense at all. What did Cas think Dean (or Sam for that matter) was going to do? Feed him cupcakes? It was an obvious set up for us to see Dean lose it (but I'm so used to seeing this technique used in the show I think I almost just accept it. Extremely frustrating).

Oooooooooh. We gotta be heading there don't we?! (and very selfishly I want this to fit a song I want to use for a vid…;D)

They needed to know what (if any) info on the Mark was on the demon tablet. They don't have the tablet, or a prophet to read it, so they had to go to the guy who wrote it down. Nothing to lose if it didn't work, but potentially a lot to gain if it did.

So what if getting RID of the Mark means NOT doing what Cain received it for, i.e. Dean can't kill his brother so he subverts the Mark and is no longer ~worthy of it.
Yeah, I think pocochina answered the "Why Metatron?" question. And when it became clear he wasn't spilling a single bean (and Dean may well kill him), they took Met out of play. Totally worked for me, especially because Cas cared about his ties to Heaven. I love it best when Cas is being the ANGEL we know he is, not some pseudo-human.
And I completely agree with you on the Blade! *squirms anxiously* Oh, the angst!
Good point. I'm just glad no deals where struck with Metatron or he didn't escape. I suppose they were hoping he might be willing to help (and it seems he did leave at least a clue).
