I have been a loyal viewer for 11 000 seasons. I can't help thinking that maybe Banshee had the right idea and when you start running out of ideas it's time to let the show come to a graceful end rather than drag its putrid corpse through yet another season of excremental writing, CIS, PIS, WIS and every other kind of stupidity.
I want to love this show but when the writing is this bad, the plots so forced and the characters so inane I just want to help put it out of its misery.
/Finish beer, end rant.

I certainly get where you're coming from but..then the show will do some shit like Castiel posing as "Agent Beyonce" and it's like..I can't stay mad anymore.
Well, that's the thing with Supernatural. I don't necessarily think they've exhausted all the possibilities out of the world/setting, but they have gotten to the point where the Winchester-specific plots have become a bit repetitive and contrived. I am all for what multiple people already suggested: Crowley/Castiel spinoff. Hell, Dean already kind of made the slogan in the one episode. "One's a demon. One's an angel. Apparently, they solve crimes together."
Well, even if some of the overall plot lines have gotten a bit stale at this point, this last episode reminded me of why I loved watching the show back in the old days. Just going balls to the wall with the "monster of the week" plot, and having a couple of great comedic moments as well. I totally cracked up during that bit with Sam, Dean, and the grenade launcher. Dean barely said anything, verbally, but his facial expressions and body language spoke volumes. 😆
So the Hitler sole is now gone an not inside of a watch anymore? Not that the show would revisit that point anytime soon if it were but just thought there would be a loose end considering that it was in a portable object. That grenade bit was well placed and the episode is quite the rebound Same and Dean needed after getting beat up by small British women.
Oh and I think Jody's(sheriff lady) coming for the next episode in that will officially make her longest lived non-regular character of the show. As long as she survives that is.
Shhh don't talk about the sheriff. If we don't talk about it perhaps she might just continue to live. These people won't just f*ck up your life, but your afterlife as well. Remember first Bobby was plucked away to hell just for knowing the Winchesters.
Now poor Bobby is in heaven's jail.
Plus remember Adam? Good times. Even not being in heaven's jail can be horrifying. Remember Adam saying his heaven was..his senior prom? That is BLEAK, imagine that..but for literally all of eternity. Are we 100% sure the "heaven" we've seen isn't just another aspect of hell? At least in Ashes "heaven" there was booze.
I'm guessing when Dean dies for real..it's just going to be him at some kind of pie shop forever? Sam's heaven would probably be something fruity, I bet it would have a salad bar. Wait no we were told that soul mates do share their heavens, so I'm guessing Sam and Dean will be stuck together pretty much until existence ends.
The reason I found that grenade launcher bit particularly funny is because of things Jensen Ackles has said before. Starts at like 0:15 or so:

Plus this version of Hitler was kind of hilarious. Though for a second I thought Hitler was going to survive and potentially be a recurring villain.

Would almost have been worth it to see the reaction from the British MoL. They already think the Americans are incompetent. Imagine letting resurrected Hitler get away.
Its a good thing that crossroads demon never bothered to figure out or tell the Hunters that Mary came from God doing the Winchesters the ultimate solid. The resulting shit-storm could've sated it for decades IMO.
Also I find it funny that by this point Jody has been in Sam and Dean's lives longer that Mary both in series and seasonal screen time.
