*sigh* This episode just hurt, didn't it? I dunno, for me, it hurt sooo gooood. I get the feeling that it wasn't the same for you?
"Well, isn't that tidy. Sam and Dean, vessels to the champions of the opposing sides. I'm... a little annoyed by the symmetry"
I get the exasperation here, especially since we all called it years ago, but if you think about it? We called it because the story is coming to an end (which, :(!!!!, but that's another thing.) Some plot lines are going to start locking into place. I'd rather stuff like this be predictable than to have the powers that be throw something else at us that just wouldn't fit at all.
I just found myself frustrated by the non-progress on Sam's storyline. Of course, I've seen other people post that they loved all the ANGST, so mileage varies. :)

This is a very good point, actually. Much as we like being surprised, maybe it's a good thing that the show's internal logic holds together well enough for really invested fans to see this stuff coming.
Yeah, they had Sam take 3 steps forward and about ten steps back in this one. He did take some steps, though. He doesn't think he's hopeless anymore. Or, he didn't, before Lucifer crashed the party. And as angsty as his storyline was, I loved how gentle he was with Jess. You mentioned up thread how you loved his body language, and I actually think those scenes helped his development too. We don't ever see Sam showing that kind of emotion. We get a lot of misery and anger and no quiet reflection. It was nice to see Sam just being Sam.

It's also nice to see how the Winchesters behave with someone they love and trust and feel comfortable touching. We see that about as often as we see the universe cutting them some slack.

You know it's the Apocalypse when a Winchester is touching someone and there isn't a weapon or blood involved. :p
