I really enjoyed this ep. Was also disappointed at the no-show archangel, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying it.
“You just thought I was a dick.”
Question, oughtn’t the archangel have shown up when Dean threatened the prophet to get him to the hotel? And then in the hotel room, he/she/it seemed to be taking his/her/its sweet time. Almost made me wonder whether Castiel was just doing a whole lotta shaking to give his best archangel impression…
Bwah? He wasn’t Andrew, Jonathan, or Warren. He was in two episodes, but I can’t recall who that character was. It was driving me a bit batty, 'cause he sounded like Taub from House (but obviously wasn’t).
Probably my favorite of the season. SPN is always best when it mixes humor and drama, and between ribbing the fans and the, ‘let’s get serious’ moments, like where Sam and Chuck talk about the demon blood, there was plenty of mood whiplash to go around.
Castiel’s "I wish I could tell you - " speech to Dean was maybe my favorite bit. Yay for Cas doing what *he *thinks is right!
I noticed that Dean was praised for gaining some faith when he prayed, but Sam is showing less and less all the time. He doesn’t have faith in the angel’s (or God’s, I suppose) plans for Dean, and thinks that only he can save the world. Or maybe it’s a lie and he’s just addicted. Either way, there’s a real role reversal there. I can’t wait to see where they take this.
Also intersting - while Chuck is meant to be a mouthpiece for the word of God, he edits wherever he wants (like taking out the blood drinking to make Sam more sympathetic). Which is nice continuity, since they mentioned earlier in the series that the Bible on earth is incomplete compaired with the Bible in heaven.
I didn’t understand why Dean warned Lillith about the Archangel when he could have just let it destroy her. It also seems odd that it took so long to show up and yes, I did want to see it, too.
I just started watching this show this past season. I wish I hadn’t wasted all the time on Grey’s Anatomy. I put the earlier seasons on my Netflix queue.
