Come to think of it Tessa works for Death. Hmmmm, interesting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tessa might have been there. She only looks like Lindsey McKeon for Dean's benefit.

I love the idea that Tessa bitched around the water cooler to her boss about the one that got away.
More importantly, I love the idea that her "in" with Death is why she was so suspicious of the angels and the plans they have.

I don't know... the fact that death can be undone not only by God, Michael, Joshua, and assorted angels but also by demons in pursuit of a sold soul makes me think that its personification might not be so much of an absolute as he was portraying himself in that conversation with Dean. I mean, if the setting didn't have resurrections happening all over the place and glimpses of assorted afterlives, death as a concept might carry a bit more finality.
I did really like the actor's performance, and having that confrontation come down to a civil conversation over dinner rather than another barely won finger-amputating fight.

Telling Dean he can't cheat death is kinda...well, who better to cheat him?
Or maybe the difference is supposed to be when Death is looking at you, and it's not just general reaping going on.

Because books.
Hey, I am on the internets at the AIRPORT!

The line about not being able to cheat Death cracked me up. I was like, "Who's not giving you the memos, buddy, because these two do it all. the. time."
Chicago pizza is weird. Especially if you grew up eating New York style.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
And it seems to require a knife and fork to eat, even if you are Dean.
That's weird.

Yeah, but Death still wins in the end.

More random thoughts:
When Dean first walked into the diner to find Death, and there was the shot of everyone dead, I immediately texted Cass with "Hey, Sandman shout-out!". (One of the early issues. I know Kripke is a Gaiman fanboy, but I'm pretty sure Edlund is too. And I'm still kind of astonished that they didn't make Death a pretty brunette lady.)
After watching the promo, Pete said that he thinks that the damage Dean showed will be at the hands of Adam-as-Michael.
