> Now, since Chuck's other son Castiel is the one who actually released him this time, I've decided that Chuck must be referring to the first time, back in S4.
Either way, it's bullshit. The writers have clearly forgotten the long speeches in season 5 from both Michael and Lucifer that explained how the history of mankind was minutely planned so that all the infinite choices that were made throughout time were predestined so that John and Mary would meet and marry, Sam and Dean would be born and raised just so that every decision they ever made would lead them inexorably to their respective destinies. Sam's fall, Lucifer's release, the apocalypse, Armageddon, were all part of God's plan from the very beginning. So for God to turn around now and claim that he wanted to keep Lucifer locked up and that he's been operating a policy of non-interference for the past however many millennia is a complete negation of the whole point of season 5.
That point being that, in all of time, from Eden to Armageddon, there was only ever one actual moment of free will, and that was the moment in "The End" when Dean chose to say 'yes' to Sam. And that choice enabled Sam to fulfill his divinely ordained destiny: which was to make the sacrifice that would free mankind from destiny forever. Sam was the Christ whose final, predestined, act was to make free will a reality for everyone else. (Dean).

[The show so should have ended at season 5.]
