After posting my initial reaction earlier I couldn't resist the poll because I'm curious what you all thought. A more detailed review to follow when I can gather my thoughts.

I think if this had been an episode anywhere but here I wouldn't have been so down on it. It puzzles me that they chose such a lame story for the mid-season finale. If it had been part one of a two parter leading into the finale then I could understand it more. It also left me not caring at all about what happens next. It didn't seem to leave any tantalising loose ends. Maybe what become of Claire and Cas? Nothing will change between Sam and Dean. Sam will fret, Dean will say he's fine and hunting will continue until the season finale and there will be weeping.

(ugh, sorry. Obviously still miffed even the next day).

I agree with this.

I am tired of the angel war, and I liked Claire and was genuinely very interested in seeing her again, having her interact with Cas, etc. My patience with Cas eating up time with boring stories has been running a little thin, but they found a plot I wanted more of.

Just not juggled (poorly) with two other things in a mid-season finale, and especially not when the Winchesters are relegated to nearly mere footnotes in their own story!
