I'm going to second the distinctly underwhelmed feeling. I did love Kevin, and the Dean & Benny plotline looks like it might be interesting, but Sam giving up hunting felt like a rip-off of the earlier Dean giving up hunting plot at the beginning of Season 6, only extremely underdeveloped and unrealistic, and I'm really tired of getting jerked around on the Cas front. Either kill him or otherwise write him off the show, or don't (preferably don't because I love Cas), but seriously make up your minds already. This is getting exhausting.
Oh, and is it just me or does the "shutting all the doors to hell forever" plotline feel like backsliding? The show kind of went from lots of monsters and one mysterious "thing that killed Mom & Jess" to a couple of demons, to a lot of demons, to a lot of demons AND angels AND the Apocalypse, to more Apocalypse and *Lucifer*, and then we start a new story line where we go from the father of each monster race, to the mother of all monster races, to the evil creatures that roamed the Earth and were locked away before Lucifer even fell (if I'm understanding my timelines correctly), to... lots of demons again. It feels anti-climatic.
