I fully agree with both of you, McGillicuddy and Mgdodl. Like I said on The Shadow discussion, God going Big Bad the way he did seems contrived. Again, I call his "turn to the dark side" a character assassination because until "Moriah" God may have acted neutral at best, but always seemed to be on the side of good, therefore it comes off as forced and illogical. Personally, I would have preferred the Shadow/Entity as the Big Bad for the final season, but if Dabb and Singer had decided to go with God instead which was bound to be divisive, than they should have built up to it earlier like what was done with Cass prior to "The Man Who Knew Too Much" in S6. Anyone who thinks that God becoming the "ultimate" Big Bad of Supernatural had "always been hiding in the narrative ever since" or "This is what the real endgame is always going to be" are sorely mistaken.
