I. fucking. LOVED IT. Even with flaws.
-First of all, how awesome was Death? Seriously, this motherfucking king swaggercock deserves his own show.
-Damn, Dean really was pissed at Castiel and wanted him dead. I have seen a lot of Dean hate already and I'm sure it's going to get worse. I adored the fact that Sam was the one who reached out to Cas and wanted to help. We've seen Dean reaching a lot for faith for the last three seasons and it's nice to see Sam return to that role.
-Sam vs. hallucinations is heartbreaking plus amusing.
-That end was just harsh. I'm actually sad about Castiel dying, like really sad. I think it's the ending and how it looked like they were going to do a redemption storyline and then swept all that away. I mean, they know how attached a lot of fans are and to do the old switcheroo when they've been freaking out and terrified for months? The only way I see that being forgiven is if the leviathann lied and Castiel is still alive and will be brought back.
-Still, getting over my sadness a little, there's plenty of broken!Sammy to focus on. The episode was just exciting and I'm just sorry it wrapped itself up so easily. I wished it had been spanned two episodes.
