This is everything I went through while watching. I'll have a more comprehensive review when I'm able to talk about what happened without feeling like I want to made pathetic noises and keysmash. Good episode, though. It'll be high on my list of favourites when I accept the events within.

spoilers ahead, beware )
Not that he shouldn't be in character to the end, but I'M JUST SO GLAD GABRIEL WAS IN CHARACTER TO THE END, YOU KNOW? LIKE, EVEN FACING LUCIFER AND MAKING THE INFORMATIONAL PORNO TAPE, AND RESEDUCING KALI AND EVERYTHING GABRIEL WAS JUST. SO. IN. CHARACTER.
I guess Dean figures that if Castiel can off his brothers left and right, so can Gabriel. Because Castiel is Dean's ideal angel, or something. IDK STRAWS. LET ME GRASP YOU.
When Gabriel appeared in the Impala I gasped so hard. I had to stop the ep for a bit, because I was feeling winded and heart-racy and stuff. I couldn't believe they faked me out. How very cruel. But very Gabriel, I suppose. Oh my baby.
This effectively kills all my Sam/Gabriel stuff. Sigh.
I have such respect for Mark and Richard. More than I did before, and that was quite a bit. Mark, so devastating. Richard, I have such admiration for how he can go from shiny and happy, snarky Trickster, soften in concern for Kali, and then back again, like a snap. That's really fucking talented.
Gabriel standing there, with a knife, so fucking angelesque, I was so damn proud.

OH HE MADE ME SO PROUD TO LOVE HIM SO MUCH. LIKE, HE ROCKED THIS ENTIRE EPISODE AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT LOVE HIM WAY MORE THAN I ALREADY DO. NNNGH. OF COURSE THEY WOULD THINK HE WAS LOKI. OH GABRIEL, ILU SO HARD, BB.
LOL no, no, I do think you're right. Dean is probably all, "Cas has no problem so you shouldn't," but I really think the brotherly bond is much stronger in archangels. I mean, there is a select few. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are the only ones named in the Bible, but there have been as many as seven archangels named. There are countless angels for everything. I think Dean just doesn't understand that Gabriel has seen God's true face and blah blah let me rant for hours!
OH I KNOW UUUUUUUUNF THAT WAS THE BEST PART HIM IN THE BACKSEAT. Oh, Gabriel, you and your fakeouts. I literally had to hide how excited I really was from my friends.
D: ALTERNATE UNIVERSES, BB, THIS IS WHY THEY EXIST. you could write how you know sam still watches casa eroctica loooool oh jeez it would probably give his computer a sexy virus
Richard is a master at emotions, I really have to say. He really showed it in 'Changing Channels' for being able to be so snarky and so serious. 'Shut your cakehole,' and he said it like he was going to rip Dean's face off. AND THIS EPISODE GUH DON'T GET ME STARTED. Mark really hit it home here. We've always seen Lucifer pretty much toying with people like Cas and Sam, but he gets fucking serious here and it's heartbreaking and frightening all at the same time.
I WISH HE WOULD HAVE FLIPPED IT AROUND UNF UNF
