Just saw it, wasn't as bad as you're making it out to be. Lucifer wasn't stabbed in the heart so it isn't necessarily a kill shot for a human, any stab wound with it must be fatal to an archangel though. So Nick's survival isn't that out there.

My theory of Michael's defeat is seeming likely with Ketch searching for that angel exorcism device. And quite interesting seeing Jensen Ackles as Michael instead of Dean.

I agree though, even with his current power level Castiel can still smite demons, and shouldn't have been captured by those demons so easily. (Also is the last we'll see of the demons? The most powerful demons are all dead, there will be no new king of hell, and the demons fear Sam)

And I love the new titlescreen.
