I do not feel the set-up has been enough and that all the pieces are in place for the big kaBoom!
See, that in essence is my quip too. I don't mind Sam taking a giant risk, not only to himself personally but also to the world around him, and be the last hope that ended up saving everyone. But I need to feel Sam taking that risk is necessary, that with all the pieces that are in place, he has no choice but to make the sacrifice. The problem for me is some major pieces here are vague and unclear as to their whereabouts, therefore I feel I can't get the character's motivation in the way the writer is intended here. I'm afraid that in the end, I'll come away feeling these Winchester boys are just stumbling around, and somehow ended winning the fight against evil simply because they are natural born heroes and heroes always win in the end.
This season, there are some great episodes -- "Sympathy for the Devil", "The End", "Changing Channels", "Darkside of the Moon" came to mind; there are also some irrelevant episodes -- "Fallen Idols", "Curious Case of Dean Winchester", "Swap Meat", and "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" came to mind; I feel if the writers had focused on the big story arc a little better, shown and/or laid down the pieces clearer, I wouldn't feel so dejected at the 2nd to last hour of the mytharc. Now I'm afraid the last hour is going to be a big rush to finish a story that has been rather erratic this season.
The Apocalypse on Supernatural started with thunder and lightening, then for the longest time, we've only got drizzles at most. The question is what it will be the last minute before the sun breaks out. That's another thing, since Kripke made it clear that we will see the end of Apocalypse, I'm 99.999% sure Lucifer is either going to be killed or back to where he belonged. That rather takes out a big chunk of my angst.
