9.23 Initial reaction: everything I thought I knew is wrong

[caranfindel]

I’m rewatching on Hulu right now (um, sorry, people who pay me to actually work - I’ll make it up to you, I promise). And according to Hulu, in this episode “Even though Dean continues to feel the effects of the First Blade, he strategizes a plan with Castiel and Sam to take down Metatron once and for all!” Um, no. Just no. Dean doesn’t do any

Ooooh, this was a brilliant review! You're a lot more coherent than I was after watching the finale. Thanks so much for posting it.

Um, Cas, being ready to die for his cause doesn’t mean he was telling the truth. It doesn’t mean he was right. After all, the other angel suicide bombers were ready to die for their cause. But Hannah believes him now, which is convenient, and she takes him into Metatron’s office to find the angel tablet.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only person who noticed that. I mean, guys, it was only last week! But apparently, Cas and Hannah are both two completely unironic, completely naive puppies, so what exactly did I expect?

Metatron is imprisoned, and Castiel faces the question of what to do now - he doesn’t want to lead, he’ll die if he doesn’t replenish his grace, but does anybody care? I don’t. Because back down on Earth, things are more interesting.
Yep.

My heart went out to poor Sammy the whole time, I loved that he stood up to Dean and still supported him and then... and then... the ending... *sobs*

Now I want Sam to save Dean. That's all I want.

Well, I didn't write it until the next day. It would have sounded a lot different last night! :-)

Yes, I love that he's able to do that.
