*Do You Believe In Miracles*
It wouldn’t be a season finale for Supernatural without “Carry On Wayward Son” playing through the intro.

Dean is practically foaming at the mouth after attacking Gadreel and must be restrained to keep from killing the angel.
They discover that Metatron now walks the streets as “Marv,” a homeless messiah performing miracles. What he accomplishes is inciting a crowd to kill one of the good angels who calls him out as a fraud. He is so creepy with his influence on these new followers, Metatron doesn’t get very far with his quest to become God. The main disappointment I had was with Dean’s climactic death scene. The thought of death in Supernatural has been diluted over the years. The Season 1 and 2 finales were shocking, but now we’ve seen the Winchesters die on practically a regular basis, and it hardly has an effect anymore. Nobody will think Supernatural will continue with only one brother. We even have the familiar, sad Winchester music theme for when Sam cradles Dean’s dead body.
The final episode of the season just didn't feel like a season finale (black eyeballs aside). At best it felt like a midseason finale. This underwhelming feeling may be due to two things: an underbaked season-long mythology with no real buildup, and a Big Bad that was never very big or bad. Make no mistake, Metatron never really registered as an entity to be taken down at all costs. Not like Abaddon, anyway, and she'd already been taken out a few episodes back. Even this episode seemed to recognize Metatron's lameness, as he didn't even merit an epic death. Nope, in the end he was just a sad man in a hobo outfit, frowning in a jail cell. Seemed about right. But hey, Crowley didn't make for that great of a Big Bad either, and he's still one of the show's best characters, so Metatron's in pretty good company there.
Not thrilled with the finale.
