Yup, fantastic episode. It ranks as one of the best the show has ever done IMO. ♥
LMAO ever since I knew that this episode was named 'The End' and deals with an apocalyptic storyline, I expected/hoped it would use the Doors' song as well, especially since they used the Doors before in 2.14. Not to mention that it's one of my fav Doors' songs. But I vaguely remember that Kripke once stated that he is not a fan of the band, so maybe it has something to do with his preferences rather than the budget. :)
The Dean/Lucifer scene was chilling, so intense and well played, I totally loved it. It's also clever that they used it here, because even if Sam will not say 'yes' to Lucifer in the present timeline, they at least played it here to its full potential and showed us what Sam would be like as Lucifer. You know, I do have that theory that if the writers will go there - i.e. Sam saying 'yes' to Lucifer - it will be a willing sacrifice to give Dean an opportunity to take the devil out. Maybe Lucifer is vulnerable during the short moment he enters his vessel and can be killed without Dean being Michael. Of course it would be a most devastating development if Dean would actually need to kill Sam - a development I don't really want to contemplate - I hope the show won't go to that dark place. I need the boys to have a happy ending. I don't think I have ever wanted a happy ending for two characters more desperately than I want it for Sam and Dean. :)
