I liked that Richard Speight was featured, I thought initially it was a set up because of how he was acting off-kilter, even for the trickster, so it was cool to see that I was right. I feel that Dean's weariness, is so overwhelming he can no longer suppress the emotions..Its the boy in the dam situation where he has no more fingers to plug up the fast springing water pouring thru and he's so tired of it all...I sometimes wonder that if it wasn't for Sam if Dean wouldn't just give up. Die in battle or die by Demon, just to make his pain stop. Then being feed all these "truth" by Gadreel is just more coals heaped on his fires of self-destruction, was it deliberate (meaning more stories by Metaron) or ploy to push his plot along again? Either by Metaron or in this case Chuck?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-5231494397478937802019-03-20T05:29:41.196-04:002019-03-20T05:29:41.196-04:00I think gadreel just said all this stuff about sam...I think gadreel just said all this stuff about sam not caring for dean to provoke dean into killing him or making a mistake.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711080433542343930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-82845656047457457612014-04-18T21:15:36.100-04:002014-04-18T21:15:36.100-04:00pucklady said...

I like that the conflict is under the surface and not them being horrible to each other. There's tension, but it's not being angstily aired in the standard two minutes of emotional turmoil at the end of every episode.<br /><br />I was believing what Gadreel said Sam thought about Dean (we all think terrible things about our loved ones when we're angry, doesn't mean that they're true or that we believe them) until, like percysowner, I caught him saying that Sam was never willing to die for Dean. Yeah, actually he was. And I think he'd still be.<br /><br />Great to have Gabe back, obviously. I thought he was acting pretty normal, up until he said oh I'll take on this hoard of demons for you, Castiel. His fight or flight response is weighted towards the latter. I like that they left it open, that maybe he is alive, maybe he isn't. They do bring a lot of characters back, but Gabriel feels earned. He is the Trickster, after all.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23446829397170690242014-04-17T13:33:19.742-04:002014-04-17T13:33:19.742-04:00Can I put a -4.

Angels bring no suspense, no monster to kill, no action nothing happens but long boring talk.<br />Where is my favorite show about 2 brothers who save people and hunt things, it wasn't on my screen.<br />After I watched it, I cried mourning the spn I used to love.<br />I decided than next time I see pictures of angels promoting the episode, I am not watching it anymore.<br />I am done.<br />It's good that you liked it, but I didn't and I am not the only one.

He's not exactly the picture of honesty. The only time Sam even came close to feeling that way was in season four when he was high and Dean was so traumatized that he wasn't functioning. Gadreel also said that Sam NEVER was willing to die to save Dean, but we have seen him trying to sell his soul and get no time to get Dean out of Hell. We have seen him put his life on the line for Dean many times including running into danger THIS SEASON to save Dean. Gadreel was echoing Dean's fears, not Sam's actions. Sadly fandom has heard Dean's fears so often, that they often ignore Sam's actions.<br /><br />I'm guessing that Sam and Dean didn't realize how strong Metatron is. It does make me wonder if he is really an angel, or something else. Or if what we have seen the last few seasons isn't all real, but a part of the world Metatron is writing.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-37309709254535850852014-04-17T10:15:28.010-04:002014-04-17T10:15:28.010-04:00As I watched this, I wondered if I loved it becaus...As I watched this, I wondered if I loved it because it was so good or because it spoke to me as a writer. Finally, I guess, it doesn't matter because I loved it. I am getting nervous about the end of this season. The brothers seem to be on a collision course and that won't be pretty.<br /><br />I saw the scene between Gadreel and Dean slightly differently than you did, I think. While I do think that Sam is furious with Dean and thinks his brother has issues, I didn't believe everything Gadreel was saying. I think he was using Dean's own insecurities, which Sam would recognize and understand, against him. It very nearly worked.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
