When it comes to Belphegor I do fully agree with you, with Alexander having this character to show us another and more expressed side of his acting abilities. (I also never could really get warm with the Jack character somehow :/ ) But anyway I still think that when you introduce a demon like Belphegor who was torturing the souls in hell, they should have given him a more evil side. He just seems to cool-ish and not that much demon-ish to me.

Hm, never looked at Arthur Ketch that way and never really questioned all his actions in season 12. It probably stems from my denial of the Dabb-Era and therefore my attendant disinterest in a majority of the introduced characters. But you’re actually right! Although I could understand the Winchester’s motive of using his abilities and knowledge in the fight against God, but this almost friendship like relationship they seem to have, is really odd.

I guess the overall change in God’s behavior and that he is being sold to us now as some sort of big evil entity is my problem why I don’t like this Kevin-twist. I know that God in “real life” isn’t really a nice guy, but Chuck was introduced to us as the “good” guy and I think that was pretty neat. Now having him change his attitude to fit the plot and therefore giving certain scenes from the past seasons different meanings, might be an interesting way of telling a story for some, but for me it’s not justifiable. Maybe if the current season would be badass and if everything leading up to the point of Chuck releasing hell wouldn’t have felt so rushed. But it did feel like it was made up in a short time and therefore the whole God-is-evil thing and everything he’s done in the past should be looked at in a different way, just doesn’t appeal to me that much. But hey that’s only me :)
