“Who’s Celine Dion?”
Balthazar: “She’s a destitute lounge singer in Quebec…and let’s keep it that way!”
Dean: Too soon?
Sam: Yeah Dean I’m pretty sure six seconds is too soon.
I hope I do not die by copy machine strangulation. I once almost laminated a scarf I was wearing but I realized in time and yanked it out of the way of the rollers. As a kid I was fascinated with the possibility of garage door death, and did experiments with friends to determine what kinds of things would crush, but we never tried anything really telling, such as a watermelon.
I find it hard to believe that 50,000 people existing who never should have, could be fixed by killing them off one by one in freakish ways. They’d be reproducing faster than you could dispose of them.
The whole plot didn’t make sense. I must admit to being pretty confused as to why Fate would suddenly be out of work because the Apocalyspe didn’t happen. Wouldn’t that be keeping her in business? And somehow the Titanic is “the last straw”???
And so she goes around killing people, but there is no mention of Death? Or the Reapers? Wouldn’t they pretty much work hand-in-hand?
They are making Cas pretty morally ambiguous lately. He also is making erratic decisions. He used Sam and Dean as bait in “The French Mistake,” but here appears to give up a huge tactical advantage to keep them safe. Also, Balthazar’s line “Oh, sorry. You have me confused with the other angel. You know - the one in the dirty trench coat who’s in love with you?” Wow, I can’t believe they said that out loud.
All in all though, it was funny, and it was nice to see Ellen again.
I haven’t seen that many episodes yet, but it seems like they draw from all kinds of mythological and religious traditions, right? So Christianity is basically true, and some Greco-Roman stuff like the Fates, and I saw last week that Shinto priests had valid blessing powers… I guess they’re not worried by the contradictions in all the religions being real? Or is the idea that none of the traditional religions has it all correct, and the Judeochristian God is plotting strategy with his holy peer group?
For the first few seasons, I would have said that the show assumes that myths(vampire, werewolves, etc.) and Christianity are more or less true.
Then, they added all the Hindu gods last year, too.
Basically, everything is real and true and don’t worry about contradictions between religions and so forth.
Everything is real and true but isn’t always what you think it is. Like Loki was really the archangel Gabriel. Who knew?
Or he wasn’t really Loki. I don’t remember how that worked out.
