Minutiae

Metatron gave Castiel all of his knowledge of books, movies, and television shows from the last two millennia. Thus Cas now understands pop culture references.
The two copies of the Supernatural books/Winchester Gospels on Metatron's desk were A Very Supernatural Christmas and Tall Tales, with Tall Tales being the book he tosses into the fire. 2.15 Tall Tales is also the episode where the Trickster makes his first appearance.
