I did enjoy the episode if looked at just on its own merits. I mean, it had Death! And Lucifer! And I liked that they wrapped up the Cas as God thing in one episode.

But you're right: Dean has been in reactive mode for a long time now. And I really didn't like my first glimpse of Cas as Leviathan.

I'm also upset because a significant amount of my enjoyment of the show in recent seasons came from the Dean/Cas ho!yay, and apparently that is now gone for good. :( :(

This. So, so much.

P.S. Did you watch any The Vampire Diaries yet? :-)
