Like many of you I knew that Metatron was trouble about as soon as his character finally was introduced in the show. All the talk about stories and revealing the third trial to close to gates of Hell to the Winchesters without warning them of the obvious, that Sam definitely would die upon completion of the trials. When he "befriended" Castiel claming that he had heard alot of him from Kevin Tran and suggesting that sealing Heaven would be good for the angels and for Earth, and that he could not undergo the "trials" himself, well-grounded suspicions became more about fact.

When Castiel slayed that Nephilim I felt so bad for him - yet again the best of intentions doomed to be an epic failure.
