Robbie's departure and more on 11.20

[ash48]

I was actually sad to hear that Robbie Thompson is leaving the show. Even though I have major issues with the last episode he wrote (which actually make some sense now in light of the news) I have always enjoyed his episodes. I thought he brought some interesting ideas and characters into the Supernatural universe. He gave us some wonderful

Hi.

Thank you. I can see that and I was sure there must have been some parallels somewhere in all of that (I probably had trouble seeing them past my anger at the time). Though I have always thought of the massive battle between heaven and hell and good and evil, is mirrored in Sam and Dean's day to day battles.

Chuck, with his capriciousness, is not something to worship.

Yes. Most definitely. I just worry that they aren't playing it like that? Or well, rather it's not being seen like that. Having Rob play God means we've got to get past, well, Rob playing God. I must admit there were a couple of moments when Rob had a very dark (almost terrifying) face and I could see that maybe they were going of that. That we're not suppose to like him. Or maybe it's just not as simple as that in terms of thinking of goodness and badness. I think Amara supposed to be seen as neither good or evil. At times that's been played extremely well (particularly when she was a child), but it's crossed over to more "evil" lately. And as long as God isn't supposed to he "good" then I'll feel much better than that. The blurred lines are far more interesting.

I just had the feeling that we are supposed to feel some empathy for him and it really annoyed me (much like them making Metatron sympathetic - it was a hard pill for me to swallow considering what he's done in the past). But I can definitely see your take on it and I am really hoping they examine that over the next few episodes.

And actually, another comment I liked about is that he's just one God of many (as seen in Hammer of the Gods) so he's possibly not the only "all powerful" God in the story. These ideas are interesting to me. I probably just assumed they'd not consider this - but I may be (and hope to be!) wrong.

I do particularly love this.

And Chuck said it himself, this god is Being and his sister, Amara is Nothingness. I think this parallels interestingly with our universe's matter and dark matter. Almost like a supernatural version of what's natural in ours. Amara is a dark hole somehow brought to consciousness.

Maybe I have to try and trust that they are going to handle the massive implications of it all.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :)
