I loved this episode. I am alone in my Metraton love, I know that. I've always loved the squirmy little bastard, and turning him into mankind's advocate was perfect. As always, great review and lots of SAAAAAAAMMM!
Someone on Twitter remarked how much they love it when Dean cries out, "SAAAAM!" I pointed that Sam always says, "Dean! DEAN!"
Technical note: when Chuck was Angry God, the VFX team smoothed his face, no lines, no wrinkles. Which is made it even farther from the Chuck we know and love. And thee was certainly major fanservice when Chuck picked up his guitar and sang.
Wasn't the Samulet in Sam's drawer in one of the episodes? It was off to one side, but a lot of people enlarged screenshots. I think Chuck put it in his pocket, though.
The two major problems I had with the episode REALLY chap my ass because they didn't even need to be there.
Chuck as God: the real Chuck is in Heaven since another prophet only appears when the last one dies. However, God kept the meatsuit. Easy-peasy and it doesn't wreck half the show's basic Canon.
Metatron as God: What I loved in S9 was Metratron was such a turd, but when he was talking about God, "do you know much pancake makeup and lighting he had to have to work a rope line?" (I.E. red carpet reference) Metatron had real reasons to want to be God, besides being a power-crazed weasel. Then to have him chalk it up to wanting God's attention...GRRR. Again, it might have been even more powerful if Metatron said, "Because I could do a better job than you have!"
