I get so excited when you post these visual reviews! (I love all your meta and reviews, but this is always inspiring :)
Somebody else mentioned the 40s gangster noire, and that's the first thing I thought of with the Castiel/Metatron scenes, especially the shot you cap of Cas with the light on his face, darkness all 'round -- so Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe! So Bogart (minus the hat ;-)
The cap of Sam kneeling on the floor in that church-like corridor is so moving. The picture in the stained glass window seems to depict three swordsmen fighting back to back (with their backs to Sam) and with Sam making up the fourth swordsman, or am I seeing this wrong? I think right away of Sam telling Dean back at the end of Season 8 that he doesn't feel pure, that he could never take on the quest of the knights in the stories Dean read of the Knights of the Round Table. Yet here he is, face lit and turned up as if to God, sword in hand.
But the cage! And yes, just like Dean in Hell! So cool!
