This season was pretty underwhelming compared to last season, which had its own problems as well. I feel like the writers introduced a bunch of storylines only to have them fizzle out.
- Asmodeus. I'm more or less content with how they ended him, but I think he was a fairly laughable villain. The other three Princes were far more compelling. He was like an evil Colonel Sanders out to fry angels for bucket wings. He didn't have much to do, other than re-introduce Gabriel.
- Ketch. Of all the people to put on a redemption arc, I wasn't expecting Ketch. I'm not getting attached to the character. I'm half expecting Dean to start warming up to him. And just when he starts calling him family or something, Ketch will meet a grizzly death. Also, Ketch was on a manhunt for Rowena and he doesn't mention needing/wanting her anymore later in the season.
- Rowena. After she unbound her magical barriers and started glowing purple, I thought up better stories and ideas than what was ultimately done with her. All of that potential was squandered away her very next episode and now she is more or less the same ally as before. I don't quite understand the need to formally have her join the team when she pretty much helped them out for big things the last 3 seasons. Disappointing to know that Sam will eventually kill her, and I'm hoping that the writers are not intending to kill Rowena for a third time.
- Sister Jo. Another interesting subplot that fizzled out. I liked the idea of an angel that worked for herself.
- Angels are endangered. Introduced way late in the season and basically contributed nothing in the finale. I find it hard to believe that there are just 9 angels left. I have a feeling that more will be created. It would be pretty ballsy to completely get rid of angels and heaven altogether. I don't think the writers have it in them.
- Apocalypse World. It was depressing and we didn't really see much of it other than forest and refugee-type camps. I would have liked to see more alternate versions of other characters or more of the monsters in that world.
- Lucifer. So glad the character is finally dead. I hope he's gone for good. Can't stand him. The wire fight was hilariously awful though. I'm sure the actors had fun doing it and that's all I could take away from it.
- Jack. I think he and Mary were basically thrown to the side the back half of the season and didn't really do much. I wish we saw more of their time in Apocalypse World. I don't know how to feel about Jack losing his powers unless that was a way to end his story and write him off to live far away as a normal human. I don't find Jack all that interesting to begin with so I'm definitely not interested in seeing him powerless.
- Michael/Dean. Predictable cliffhanger. I'm already expecting Dean to be rid of Michael by episode 2 or 3. I thought the last shot was awkward and cringeworthy.
