It was great, the scene when Dean was about to kill Jack was perfect, really tugged on the heartstrings.

The whole thing about Chuck being the bad guy is kind of lame. I feel like making it he is responsible for all their woes is both lazy writing and kind of ruins the lore and makes every choice the boys have made pointless. Now I am not religious, but it seems like they are doing the whole 'God is evil.' thing or 'God is responsible for all the woes of man.' I've never been fond of that kind of thinking.

Sam and Dean have made some really selfish choices over the years and it has had major repercussions and gotten a lot of people killed. That should be on them, but if they alter it so God was manipulating them then I feel it ruins their character development a bit.

I've liked how they wrote Chuck before. Neutral, ambivalent, a little conceited sure. But there was always this mystery about him and his true personality. I liked how he wasn't in charge of heaven and preferred to let people make their own choices because it seemed fairer to me. Yeah the world is screwed up but that shouldn't be on God, it should be on the people who made the wrong choice. But now making him evil or the true villain of the series just seems...lame.
