I really liked it. Close to loving it for the Impala backstory alone.
I thought at the time that God being Chuck was kind of an anvil. I was surprised at the debate.
If he is why didn't he just stop things?
Because God was only playing the part of Chuck. We can't know His mind. And He let's bad stuff happen.
Lucifer has a point. God made him, so how is it fair to punish him for acting as God knew he would act?

Bad shit happens to people all the time as a result of their actions. Why should Lucifer be immune?
I was thinking in terms of Lucifer fulfilling God's plans, and then still being punished for it. **discussion in the SPN verse, not my personal beliefs.
Did Lucifer fulfill God's plans any more than Dean did?
I get the impression that fandom at large hated it, but I'd love to know how the viewership at large felt about it.
I only watched it live the once. I plan to rewatch this week. I think I'm a little frightened.
We just watched it again. I don't hate the episode. The only thing I don't like is Chuck being God but maybe he's more like Jesus or The Holy Ghost.
The love! So much love! So little epic battle!
And the Impala!
Of brotherly love!
Stargazing and Ozzy concerts. I go fuzzy thinking of it.
I liked it. It would have been even better if Sam & Dean had gone to hell and Bobby and Castiel had died to defeat Lucifer. But I'm willing to live with that not happening to have a season six. And, given the existence of other God's and a 'Death' as old or older than God who will reap God someday I'm taking it that this Universe's God is neither all-powerful or all-knowing - which means he is not responsible for Lucifer's fall or humanity's.
Joshua or Jacob, the gardener/Jesus in Heaven, talked about him in the all knowing traditional way. Maybe that was just unreliable narrator though.
Loved Swan Song. I would have its children if I weren't menopausal.
Kripke said at Comicon that he was leaving the Chuck!God thing up to the viewers. He also said God is on Earth banging whores.
I heart Kripke.
