I don't ship Cas/anyone, so I don't have a horse in this race. However, I do on principle choose to ignore really bad writing, so in my head Meg is alive. Because the episode and the show are actually better and more coherent if she lives. Stupid show.

This. All of this. There was so damn much left to explore with her.

Azazel. Why was he a yellow-eyed demon? Why was he the only one? How was Meg his 'daughter'? Was it just an apprenticeship situation, or did he have the ability to sire her (and her short-lived brother) somehow? Meg could have given us these answers, and when she mentioned visiting the crypts with him in this episode, I was beside myself with glee, thinking we were actually going to get them.

Meg was the first demon we ever really 'met' in the series, the first one with an actual personality, the first one the boys formed a relationship. She's played an important role in most of the plots since (aiding Azazel and Lucifer, fighting Crowley, defeating the Leviathans).

Now the show is winding down. (I'd be surprised if the next season weren't the last...then again, I've said that before.) It would have been amazing to see her take a major role - particularly since their current quest would put an end to their dealings with hell and demons for good.

An episode in which they finally get their ducks in a row to seal off hell, and the realization by all involved that Meg will be banished with all the other demons when they do, that kind of bittersweetness, and the Winchesters' involvement with all this ending with the very demon with whom it had begun...now, that would have been a worthwhile way to kill off the character. That would have been awesome storytelling.

This was just sucky and cheap.

I hadn't even thought about all the Azazel stuff that still hasn't been answered, but I totally agree with everything you've said. Your idea would have been a fantastic end for her character - but instead we get fridging on steroids. Like, they directly introduce the idea of romantic relationship between her and Castiel in the same episode they kill her off for the express purpose of having the audience care about her death. Wtf. The audience doesn't need a reason to care about her - she's been a recurring character for eight years ffs. There also doesn't seem to even be any pressing reason for her to die at this exact moment either - her role could have been played by any demon and yellow eyes didn't need to be brought up at all.

Ugh. I told myself I was going to stop getting angry when Supernatural inevitably fails to live up to its potential, but last week's ep was super lazy as well so I'm in rant mode. Deep breaths, deep breaths, what'sthebetAmeliagetskilledoffinthenextfewepisodesbecausethewritershavenootherconceptofhowtofinishacharacter'sarcexceptkillingthemoffandthatincludesSamandDean deep breaths...

[(Anonymous)]

Very good point that any redshirt demon would have been sufficed. I was so excited to see her pop up again, since nothing definitive was said last time, but apparently they just didn't want anyone seeing that loose end and getting their hopes up.

If those deep breaths work out for you, let me know. (Considering that I was relieved when I saw yesterday was a rerun...)
