Abandon All Hope? Mission Accomplished

The mid-season finale of Supernatural was titled "Abandon All Hope," and it certainly delivered on that promise.  It turned out to be one of the most depressing hours of TV Supernatural has ever produced, and now, more than ever, I have no hope of a happy ending.

The episode saw the small group of heroes travel to fight and kill Lucifer.  Instead, Jo and Ellen died, the Winchesters learned the Colt is useless against Lucifer, and Death, the second Horseman of the Apocalypse, was raised.  The show ended with tornadoes ravaging Missouri while Sam, Dean and Bobby stared sadly at a photo of their group slowly burning.
