I'm a lurker, love your summaries. Need to talk about this ep, and you appear to be the only one whose view is in the middle as opposed to others (undying love or utter hatred).

I liked this ep. But didn't love it. Mostly there wasnt any surprises for me. Chuck is exactly what I have always thought SPN's God to be like.

I'm not sure how I feel about an actual deus ex machina end to this season. Except Sam and Dean can't win against Amara on their own without Chuck's intervention. The episode seem to imply that Chuck will be sacrificing himself to lock up Amara, which is the only deus ex machina I can accept because a Godless verse seem to fit Supernatural and its theme.

Except I want Sam involved in the equation. My worst fear is Lucifer in Cas saves the Day with God, I don't want that, I want Sam with God saving the day. I mean Sam is still technically made to hold an Archangel's grace. He is the man of faith, the guy who is a step away from completing the Trials. I want Sam to save the world with God's aid. Not God saving everybody while the boys get sidelined.

For the first time in several seasons I'm unsure how the Winchesters will be involved in saving the world. And I'm a bit anxious at the thought of them having too much divine intervention against a foe that is as powerful as God. I realise how conflicted I sound.

Thank you for writing the summaries.

Apologies for the spelling error. I'm typing this on my phone.
