Yeah I agree we the viewers are exactly at where the writers wanted us to be at this point, which is having more questions than answers.
At least track records showed Kripke is good at tying up loose ends at the conclusion of a season.
I didn't see Dean's choice of accepting Michael as him giving up either. It's just with everything he's been told and seen, he was losing faith in Sam -- he wasn't sure Sam would stick with him always, and the stake is too high if Sam didn't (I think Dean still firmly believed if he wasn't there guarding Sam, Lucifer would succeed in turning Sam).
I also think Pamela's words had a great impact on Dean, made Dean reexamine his options. Is it better to die and go to Heaven or to live a life of Hell on Earth? Because that's what would be if Lucifer persevered. You are absolutely right, Dean knows first hand what Hell is like! So it's not surprising Dean made the choice here.
And I'm most annoyed at Castiel for beating the crap out of him because of it.
If there's one bad thing about knowing ahead of time next season is green-lighted, it's we are guaranteed whatever happens at the end of the season, the boys would survive. Or maybe it's a good thing since it takes away the brunt of the angst.
And sweetie, thanks so much for your kind words. *blushes*
