Oh no! Bad Day at Black Rock ruined by impending doom! I LOST MY SHOE. (Which is kind of like losing your foot, I suppose.) I adore that episode to pieces.
I ended up really liking Sin City. The representation of demons and demon plans there made much more sense to me than the demons in, say, 3.01. But then the idea of demons just facilitating human vice is very much a Lewis/Gaiman/Pratchett sort of view of them (The Screwtape Letters for Lewis, Good Omens for Gaiman and Pratchett), so I suspect it resonates with me partly because I've just seen it before. In terms of an exploration of evil, it makes a lot of sense to me. Also, I get excited anytime monsters on this show have more complex/interesting objectives than EAT EVERYBODY.
I think the idea behind Sam shooting the demon was that it comes across as more... uncontrolled than we usually see him? And also he did it away from Dean.
You have good things coming! GOOD THINGS. Well. One good thing in particular, and some so-so things, and also a fairly long stretch of 'meh' things. So, par for the course, I guess. :P
