I am not sure what everybody is complaining about. I thought this episode was one of the better episodes this season so far, one I could finally watch with interest again. Finally, a darker and more bloody episode with some interesting bad guys, great opening scene and Dean finally a bit more back in control, ready to go back into bad guy torture mode.
Compare that to many of the soft and weak episodes so far in season 10 with B characters getting the main part, creatieve singing and dancing school girl episodes, whining teenage girls in their puberty episodes and Sam and Dean constantly getting their asses kicked by some weak monster or getting saved miracously by weak characters. This episode finally had the feel again of the earlier seasons where they would go out, in control, ready to kick ass. Sam had finally stopped crying over Dean and Dean finally seemed like the cool guy in control again. This was a major improvement to the overall feel of season so far in my opinion.
I do agree that the ending was a bit of a shock and unnecessary. However, I already lost my interest in Charlie some time ago. I think she was great and funny in her first introduction episode, I believe it was in S7, but I've lost interest in her afterwards. I wouldn't be surprised If she is brought back to life by Cas or Crowly in the next episode anyway.
Still the worst season so far, but it might finally become a little more interesting again near the end of this season. I'll surely be watching the last two episodes with higher expectations than before.
