I guess that's true. Though they seem a bit of a step down from the ultimate evil in the previous season.

Part of me expected Sam and Dean to die, permanently because of what the reapers promised them, and then Season 12 to shift to Castiel and Crowley as the new Sam and Dean. Just Sam got shot, and we're not sure he's dead so obviously it'll still be them. If Sam is dead, and that's a big if, maybe the void thing will be lifted. I'd hope so, because even if they die of old age their eternity will be like the Dead Zone in DBZ otherwise
