I've also though of Death stepping into the scene once more because he is a stickler for the natural order. After Season 8, everything has been topsy-turvy.

The kitsune arc is possible, but I thought the karmic strike for Dean was delivered when Sam had to kill Emma (the Amazon).

I agree, The Kripke arc really is the golden age. Season 8 had really stellar episodes, but generally, I still feel the major arc is lacking. I'm still hoping for a better turn out on Season 9, though.
