I'll have to watch the episode again, because my first go-round was a little 'meh', but that doesn't mean anything necessarily! I loved the gore/serious monster biz aspect. Unlike some, I don't dislike Cole, though he wasn't terribly well-written this spin ... well, actually, I think this writer just isn't smashing with dialog, but hey, so be it.
I believe Carver's current team doesn't have a great overview of the characters and past events (even though some of the writers have been around awhile), so the dialog will feel like it's been done before ... because it has

I was engaged and wasn't left head scratching as much as I usually am - so I counted that as a win! (also, old fashioned MoTW and no angels and demons - double win :D). I was bored a bit during the Cole and Dean stuff - mostly because I don't care at all about Cole. I know it was being used to show us the fight Dean has ahead so it was important (though I'm not sure how much more they need to hammer home that Dean will need to fight this from within, but there you have it

Oh yeah, I know his was a redemption arc for Gadreel and he made "good" after using Sam's body to kill Kevin. For me though, it seems weird to go from that to considering him a friend (as Sam stated). Warily trusting, yes, but "friend" is a hard stretch for me. Though I know Sam is massively forgiving because of what he's been through and I accept that in Gadreel's case and in Cole's case he can easily find forgiveness because he, himself, has needed forgiveness in the past (even when the perpetrators don't - like Cole, in this case).
It's a strength of Sam's (I just a little peeved when that is overlooked. But yeah, I gotta move past in…)
Sam was pointing out that Crowley isn't a friend... their real friends are the ones who are risking their lives to help Dean win his fight against Metatron. So in this context, Gadreel is a friend.
Cole apologised to Dean for trying to kill him and yet there's been no mention at all about what he did to Sam
Yes. And that's probably because Cole's storyline revolves mostly around Dean, so that's what the writers focus on. The writers rarely focus on anything that's related to Sam. *sigh*

It's different with Gadreel. He was willing to risk his life to help make things right. And in the end, he sacrificed himself for them.
