5.3 reaction
all spoilers all the time.
Here is my reaction:
ARRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHH!
Here is how I am coping:
1. I immediately got out my doll of Sam's Evil Twin and dressed him as Lucifer. He is now wearing a white turtleneck and silver leather pants (I didn't have a white suit, sorry). He is currently glaring at actual Sam through the foliage of one of my houseplants, but SAM IS SAFE IN THE BARBIE BOXTER WITH DEAN OKAY.
2. DUSTY IMPALA IS DUSTY. I say this because the Car usually indicates Dean's mental image. If he is letting his car get all dirty he is not as happy as he claims.
3. MORAL OUTRAGE. I am really not pleased with Dean taking Cas to see a prostitute. I do not really buy this whole idea that most prostitutes at large are making positive, pro-sex choices with their lives, THOUGH I'M SURE some are. I can't stand the thought of Dean forcing Cas into that situation where he feels so wrong about what he is doing.... I guess with Dean and his own prostitute, he was being fairly respectful.... but I really just DON'T APPROVE AT ALL. Why does it seem so different to me, the idea that Dean would kind of find Cas a date?? or a hookup even?? there are just so many issues of dubious consent with prostitution that it really bothers me, because I do think that most prostitutes are just this close to being slaves, trapped in a situation through violence, coersion, or addiction, and it JUST BOTHERS ME OKAY. On top of that, it was perplexing. Dean has no history of going to prostitutes. In Sin City when he was propositioned by a prostitute, he turned her down, and that was the same writer (Jeremy Carver). It just felt so weak and stereotyped. And why was Dean laughing when he exited the back door with Cas?? FORCED. Unfunny. What the hell? SOMEBODY MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT THIS OKAY??
4. I am only coping with the idea that Sam is Lucifer Vessel and Dean is Michael Vessel by denying that it will ever actually come to that. No no no. Both Cheesy and Predictable. please show don't go there with bro v bro. LAME.
5. Okay, maybe I am a little bit interested in the idea that Sam and Dean are like somehow Uber Vessels. And yet they still can't hear Angelic true Voice? DOES NOT COMPUTE.
6. I liked that Bobby is at home and coping with his wheelchair issue. I also liked that Bobby straight up told Sam he is the best hunter in the area. I hope that what Sam will learn is that he is better than the demon blood.
7. I liked how Jess came to Sam and it was Lucifer. Nice. I also liked how the actor makes Lucifer so reasonable and sympathetic. I wonder if he is working for God? I always like stories where Satan is actually working for God all along. Though this is unlikely considering how he psychologically tormented Nick into consenting.
8. I REALLY LIKED RAPHAEL. VERY SYMPATHETIC INDEED. Much more so than middle manager Z. I kind of like how Raphael accuses Castiel of being the Rebellious Angel, when clearly Castiel is much more God-focused and in the right than the ones who are bringing on the Apocalypse. Everything Raphael said was full of despair. Despair as a motivation for blasphemy works really well for me. I buy it.
9. I don't mind the Castiel and Dean Show, but here's why : NOT because it gives the writers an opportunity to have Castiel say stupid, inappropriate things, give himself a beer mustache, or be forced into awkward situations by Dean -- but because it gives an opportunity for Castiel to flap flap flap away when Dean gets busy with how much fun he is having with Cas as opposed to Sam. INAPPROPRIATE DEAN. Castiel is not looking for God to have fun! He sacrificed everything because YOU TOLD HIM FAMILY WAS PARAMOUNT. And now you're all like "FAMILY SUCKS. DEAN JUST WANNA HAVE FUNN." Grr, Dean. Grrrrrr.
10. *** THEOLOGY WARNING***
--actual attempt at theology, not krippish--
This absent God thing reminds me a little of how Destruction of the Endless went AWOL. Like he just got too sad to do the job. I wonder if it would be believable for God to become so saddened by humanity's destructive choices that God just goes AWOL? I also wonder if God was worried that the Angels were too much like automatons and wanted to let them make some choices for a change? That sucks for them though, because they are doing SO BADLY. I guess the Angels wanting to create a Paradise on Earth, seems like a good idea, for them -- but they want it for the wrong reasons -- if we go by what Raphael said, they are just tired and want it ALL TO END. They have no respect for humanity -- just like the reason Lucifer fell in the first place. If God is found, how will God justify the fact that the Angels felt completely sure God was dead? That seems awfully irresponsible of God. Would I go away and not tell my children and just let them think I was dead? NO. Something is awry there.
Can I use my tag for "dean is everybody's moral compass?" NO NOT REALLY. :(
