I've been contemplating this ep for the past day and just can't come to a decision if I liked it or not. Well, I liked it because it's SPN (*grins*) but I mean whether it was a strong ep or not.
I feel like a minority in that I was kind of satisfied with the end of Castiel's story. I felt he went off the reservation and realized it before he died. I didn't really think he needed a redemption-story.
Meg's involvement and Cas left in the hospital with his brother banging around in his head leaves me to feel like we're going to return to the angels/demons storyline. I guess that's the part that kinda leaves me a little cold. I feel we've already been over that territory and why do it again?
And I agree with you re: the pacing of the episode. It was fine until the last few scenes. One minute Sam is strapped to a bed having electro-shock therapy and also being zapped by an angel AND he hasn't slept in a week. Not 5 seconds later he's dressed and walking out with Dean. What the actual....? Dude needs to take a nap at least.
