The first half of this episode seemed somehow slow and rushed at the same time. The stalking and subsequent death of Pestilence could have and should have been an episode unto itself. Instead Pestilence was squished into last episode and this one and in both cases the other parts of the episode were much more interesting. Therefore while Pestilence was telling an old woman she was going to die I was wondering if Bobby had sold his soul for information on Death's whereabouts.
The scene at Niveous Pharmaceuticals was fun. Bobby called the trio of himself, Cas, and Sam "domestic terrorists" and I got a huge kick out of that. The fact that Croatoan is not an airborne virus seems like a major defect in Pestilence's design. Actually it would appear that Croatoan is not contagious at all considering Sam had his eyes and mouth completely splattered with the blood of a Coatoan infected man.
If Lucifer has managed to put Death on a leash does it stand to reason that Michael has done the same to God? Death drew a direct comparison between himself and God more or less explaining that God would be more clearly understood if was called Birth. Birth and Death bring balance to the universe because as Birth continuously creates Death systematically makes room for more creation. Perhaps when Lucifer "raised" Death he actually managed to summon and trap him. He did this by killing a towns worth of people all at once, effectively doing the work of Death.
What if Michael has tethered Birth in the same way? Perhaps he has created new life and thus was able to take the momentum out of Gods sails. The obvious question then is; What did Michael "birth"? The answer is demons. We have always assumed that Lucifer created the demons but as far as I know, at least in the world of Supernatural, we have no firm confirmation on that. What if Michael created the demons and or other "evil" things that Sam and Dean have been killing since season the start of this series?
If Crowley thinks Lucifer wants all demons dead maybe he knows that Lucifer did not create them. What if Death gave Crowley the sickle in order to lead Dean to him? Perhaps Crowley truly is an enlightened demon, aware of his genesis because he was spared by Death.
The scene between Death and Dean in Chicago was simply fantastic. The actor they had portray Death was pitch perfect, he truly seemed otherworldly and menacing.
How Supernatural is going to continue after this season. The stakes have been raised so high at this point that fighting Wendigo's in season 6 simply is not going to cut it anymore. Are they going to feel the need to do some kind of series "reset" after this arch plays out? How in the world are they going to get Sam out of the pit after he jumps in? Will the third Winchester brother have a full time role in future seasons?
On a huge side note, did anyone else notice that Death confirmed alien life?
