The episode was brilliant but things are way out of logic. If God and Darkness are equal in power then how can Darkness defeat God just like that even after being so weak. And how can God die? It is way too illogical that something that has never been born can die. What is worse is God got defeated before even giving a fight. And every angel and demon is God's creation after all so they are just a small part of God's power. How can they hurt the darkness? Brilliantly directed. But logic is too weak. Excited for next episode. Supernatural is getting back on track. Back to its awesomeness. Hope God doesn't die. But I guess He will surely go away. To give more story to next season. :p

How are god and darkness equal if darkness can defeat god and his every creation. wtf

Chuck "God" created the world and gave us all free will. So everything Chuck does should be considered in this context. Chuck also is not subject to space-time so he already has experienced what was going to happen here. We know this from His autobiography where he said it was Amara's time to shine. So just as he gave the Angels, Lucifer, and Humanity free will, he is finally giving free will to Amara. The plan is not to lock Amara up again, the plan is to offer Amara a choice between the cage and freedom, and then between destroying creation or letting it be. Amara had to sit on the bench all this time while Creation happened. Now Amara has to decide if there is some part of humanity that is worth saving. Hint: Dean.

There is one loose end. If Amara is darkness and Chuck is light and they perfectly balance each other, then how is it that Amara can't transcend space-time? I think of it as a white hole vs a black hole. Both have infinite/undefined power at the singularity, however a black hole destroys all information and a white hole creates all information and therefore all probabilities. (An example white hole we know of is the big bang.) If information cannot be created or destroyed (time can go backwards) then what we are experiencing is an illusion of time flowing. In that case Amara would have known all possible futures. However, if that was the case she would not need Donatello's information.

It had to be extremely difficult to write God into the Supernatural story-line and do it convincingly.

There are some parts of this episode that are good like the sit down with God and Lucifer and the hatching of the plan but other than that... this episode kind of sucked?? I mean you brought back God just to have him killed by Amara like 2 episodes later??? What was the purpose of that?? Not only has Amara been the worst and most boring villain in the show, (I mean she's literally named "The Darkness".. the writers couldn't come up with anything better???), it's the fact that they can't beat her. I mean the whole "connection" with Dean was weird enough but come on?? The power of multiple witches, demons, angels, Lucifer, and God himself couldn't defeat her??? That's just bad storytelling. The farther I get in this show, the worse it gets. I miss when I was actually invested in this show (like seasons 1-5). Now I can only watch 3-4 episodes before getting tired of it. Hoping season 12 is much better.

air date rating: 95%. Seriously?! Something shady is going on here, last 5 episodes simply must be botted. This rating is impossible from rationally thinking viewers.

This has to be one of the worst episodes yet. And you are comparing it with Swan Song, where Sam won over Lucifer.

There were so many illogical things in this episode it would take me an hour to write it all, most obvious are things people stated before: some nameless witches stagger Amara - Lucifer used God hand and did not even stagger her, and he is an archangel. Witches are human.

That ridiculous fight Amara showed us when she tried punching demon fog with her hands. Most pathetic fight in history of SN? She was badly wounded and God was at full health and power. She had absolutely no chance against him. Yet she 'killed' him, that leads us to another paradox - Gods are immortal. Chuck cannot die. He is equally powerful as Amara. Yet she KO'd him.

What are Sam and Dean doing in a battle against Gods? That is simply absurd.

Comical sound effects in the end, when they showed faces of Sam and Dean. Made me laugh. That sound effect and type of cut does not belong in SN.

Badly done editing and style of cuts in the 'montage' scene, where they tried to handle multiple places and time lines at once. Very badly done and confusing. Kindergarten kid could cut the scenes better.

That is about it, I barely managed to get through the episode. I was disgusted.
