First, the good:
YOU'RE INVITED TOO, GRUMPY
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!
"ARE YOU TWO, LIKE, TOGETHER OR SOMETHING?"
HUGS HUGS HUGS
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBY!!!
THEY ARE BACK AND IN LOVE AND SAM WAS TOTALLY BANGING RUBY IN A ROOM WITH A MIRRORED CEILING.
MIRRORED CEILING!!!
SAM IS LIKE 10 FEET TALL AND 500 POUNDS OF HOTASS FUCKING MUSCLE. UNGH.
DEAN LOOKS AWFULLY PRETTY FOR JUST GETTING OUT OF HELL, COMPLETE WITH GRABBY MAN HANDS *BURNED ON HIS SKIN*
ILU SHOW.
The less awesome:
New Ruby? Not a good line-reader. But *very* cute.
Castiel is that kind of bland boyish pretty that I have no use for. I never saw the appeal of Krycek, or Josh Duhamel, or BRAD PITT, even. Ha!
I am not entirely keen on the idea of Christian mythology functioning as the universe's entire organizing principle. Demons, okay, fine, a lot of religions have a conception of nasties; but the introduction of the Christian God as the ultimate power player... simplifies things too much for my taste. I LIKED that the series displayed a lot of skepticism about the Christian universalizing metanarrative, and had a very eclectic take upon folk belief; you start invoking the Christian god in all seriousness, and it loses that chaotic magpie-ism that I really enjoyed. I am holding out hope that it's much more complicated then that, though, and that there is something twisted and wrong about the God-guys. GIVE ME CYNICISM, NOT PIETY. (Though dude, I really should have expected this, given their cavalier treatment of pagan gods.) I will be VERY happy if the show continues some of what we've seen, and shows the Christian figures as seriously problematic and fucked up, as Dean points out. What I REALLY want is for Sam and Dean to tell all the forces of Heaven and Hell to FUCK RIGHT THE HELL OFF, and drive off into the sunset to have incestuous passionate LOVE FOREVAH. Okay, I'm really not explaining myself very well. ETA: as heidi8 very rightly pointed out, the "Lord" referred to is not necessarily the Christian incarnation of God, since Judaism has angels, demons, and came first, duh. :D So, replace all the instances of "Christian" with "Western monotheisms" in the preceding paragraph.
But in conclusion: PERKY NIPPLES.
