First of all let me say that this was a great episode with an unpredictable ending and with clever writing.
The episode overall was way different that other season finales. It started with an idea that fits a filler episode and with great meta references. We see Jack as a powerful being once again, that can control the whole world with just a thought of his. As the episode continues we are anticipating the finale with Jack dead from Dean's hand or with Jack releasing his power against the Winchesters. God is back and we all think that he will do something to help with the whole situation or leave again with doing nothing. What I personally didn't expect was for him -the great writer- to turn into an evil character that will release the Winchesters biggest fears. That was probably the worst thing he could do. With a snap of his fingers he ''deleted'' all the fights the Winchester had given all these years. The fact that the 'plot twist' happened in the final ten minutes made the episode even more shocking.
I want to comment on the whole 'God' thing, that has been going on for a few years now on the series. I can't comprehend all the critics about supernatural trying to pass an anti-Christian message now that God appears as the bad guy, while all the years previously, with all the biblical creatures being distorted, not that many people were bothered. From the beginning Chuck was represented as someone who was playing with the existence of the boys not telling them who he is and while writing their life story. I think that Chuck is the representation of God that people have on their minds when bad things happen. He is not there to help, he is constantly on a trip and he wants humans to deal with everything on their own. We pray to Him when tragedy strikes and at the same time we are wondering where has he been when it happens. Chuck is not the God that we believe in. He is the God that wasn't there when we needed him. He is the part of God that has crossed our minds once in a while, the God that didn't help when he was needed, the God that has forgotten about his creations. He is not the righteous God that we pray to. I believe that the writers chose to give him a human name because they didn't want him to be the God that people believe in. They wanted him to be a God with flaws that isn't great and is not perfect. The God in the supernatural world, a world that not everything goes as we want it to go. The writers had the courage -or the audacity- to make him appear as a character on the show, but in the end they want everyone to remember that he is just a character. God is unknown to everyone and the only thing we can do, is to believe in Him. If people get offended by his representation on the series, then they should have stopped watching supernatural years ago. God is not flawed now, he was always like that in the series. He was selfish and didn't really care. He wanted free will but at the same time didn't. He is the God that we sometimes doubt. Supernatural -even if it is named like that- was always a show about human perspective. The good angels aren't always that good, and the evil creatures aren't always that evil.
Anyway, that was probably even better that the season five finale and I hope that the last season of this series, that has been going on for fifteen years will be as it must be; epic.
