I love that the fictional world of Supernatural is big enough to include non-Judo-Christian gods. Hammer of the Gods, like the episode where our heroes went to heaven conforms perfectly with a vision of gods that I have had dancing in my head for a very long time. The gods are people powered. Lucifer is stronger than all the other gods at the party because a larger portion of the human population believes in the Judo-Christian tradition than believe in the Norse warriors or the gods of Mount Olympus.
I think it is worth noting that Kali, a Hindu goddess of fairly significant importance, managed to survive her encounter with Lucifer. Perhaps that was because Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world and the largest group that do not believe in the god of Abraham. Or maybe it is because Gabriel saved her life by trading for his.
If it was that simple for Lucifer to kill Gabriel I wonder what kind of chance Michael truly has against him. Consider that Lucifer is currently in his imperfect vessel and has only "walked" the planet for a few months while Gabriel has been among the humans for thousands of years. It is too bad that Castiel was missing in action due to the events of the last episode. Castiel and Gabriel may have had a fighting chance against the devil.
Will Kali come back to help the boys at a key moment? I hope this was not the last we have seen of her. Maybe Kali went back to mourn the death of Gabriel and found the "Arch Angel" sword. If that sword can kill Gabriel, it must be able to kill his brother Lucifer. Unlike last week, I am now guessing that the sword that killed Zachariah (not a brother of Lucifer) would not be of a high enough level to kill the angel that God loved most.
While on the subject of wild conjecture that I was well off the mark with, now would be a good time for me to admit that Conquest is not coming. I thought that Conquest may replace Pestilence as a horseman based off some brief Wikipedia research because Conquest seemed to be more interesting than a rotting ball of disease. While I would like to reserve the possibility that I may have been right, the writers of Supernatural have decided to go with snot.
Did anyone else geek out when Gabriel tried to convince Kali to run to Pandora with him?
