I enjoyed parts of this one too. I was hoping they were edging close to the "getting Sam out of hell" when Sam said that Dean didn't care about "him" he just wanted to get the other Sam out of hell, but I guess he just meant he wanted Sam to act like himself again.
I watched Head of a Pin today too.:-)
The thing I liked about Death's line about souls is it was the first scene the whole season where I thought okay, now *this* is a very noir scene. Dean is the detective and Death is throwing him a clue after teaching him a lesson because he wants him to find out the truth. Which doesn't mean it will play out well, but I definitely got the noir vibe there. Of course, that probably also goes back to it being Dean and Death who, as you noted, work together really well and are fun to watch together.
Funny that the boyfriend joke just falls completely flat when said to Sam because a) Cas isn't Sam's boyfriend and b) this Sam would not be effected by that kind of joke even to be annoyed by it. As we saw when he just said Castiel couldn't help him.
