SPN 5x06 meta/picspam: heroes, lies, and action figures
Hey, all. Am still alive! Was too zonked Friday to gather my thoughts or go on LJ. Was still a bit zonked when I put this post together. I haven't had a chance to read my flist since early Thursday evening but I'll be catching up today (also napping and house cleaning and other thrilling adventures). Also need to watch the latest Flashforward,

I think right now, because they are trying so hard, Sam and Dean are considerably LESS screwed up than the angels. In S4, yes, they were definitely on angelic levels of brotherly fail. But I think since they broke up and got back together, and together decided to fight a war for humanity, the Winchesters are scared out of their minds and convinced they're going to lose but also more emotionally healthy than they have been in a long time.
The angels aren't as emotionless as we've been told they were by Anna. Castiel said emotions are gateways to doubt -- he never said he didn't have them. They're something the angels keep in tight check.
Yes! Exactly! Angels have emotions all over the place. Uriel was filled with hate and loathing. Zachariah is filled with smug arrogance and deceit. Raphael is filled with grief and rage - and so is Lucifer, curiously enough. Anna, before she fell, was filled with frustration and longing and disdain. And Castiel... well. All of the above and then some, but mostly sadness, I think. Castiel is one of the saddest characters I've ever seen. :(
But the point is - every single angel we've met has extremely powerful emotions, but the only one who seems to know what to do with them is Lucifer.
