I actually liked this episode overall, though there were things I...did not like. The filming was GREAT. I loved the back and forth (I have no knowledge of filming technicalities or jargon) during the recruitment/plan-making bit, the scenes with Rowena and Clea and then Rowena, Clea, and Sam, the witches all working together, and the lighting at the end while Rowena stares at...something. Beautiful. I haven't been a big fan of God!Chuck, so it's cool with me that Amara half-smote him, and I enjoyed her speech while she did so. I hope they go out into the empty together (I'm unspoiled for anything upcoming, so this is all speculation/longing on my part). She won't be so lonely, he won't be so smarmy, and they can leave the world to its inhabitants.
I did kind of wonder why no one in this show ever properly gangs up on anyone else, though. Like, couldn't the witches and the angels have smote simultaneously, maybe to greater effect?
I found the petty teenager routine to be as dull as it was the first time around with Amara and Crowley, and I'm a bit unnerved that the bunker is apparently a free-for-all now (though maybe that means they'll go back to roadtripping next season??). I wish we'd been allowed to see more of Sam's internal reactions to Lucifer's presence, though as the season's not over I'm kind of hoping for more on that next week? Foolish hope, perhaps?
Also, did they set Donatello up to die? Is he dead? Was he aware of the plan? I'm confused about him.
