Supernatural 5x19
Supernatural at its best.
- Lucy, I'm home.
Seems like every time Richard Speight, Jr. makes a guest appearance, the fun doubles. Don't think I mentioned this before but kudos to the casting, that guy has like this perfect twinkle and a dash of mischief in his eyes that is perfect for the role. And the writers did take time to show character development here, too. Gabriel really manned up and made his own decisions. He makes quite the handsome rebel, too, yes?
- No one makes us do anything.
Loved the parallels between the angels' and the Winchester's families mirrored in the final fight. Brother against brother. Hope the outcome isn't any indication how it'll end for Sam and Dean, though. They also make it really hard not to feel a spark of sympathy for Lucifer as he's clearly pained by having to kill his brother. Poor misguided fool.
- Don't mock my world turtle!
Nice effort to include other religions and not keep it all exclusively Christian. Kind of sad, though, that all other Gods were so easy to kill whereas you need special paraphernalia to kill an archangel? Huh.
- This episode also featured another proof of Dean's outstanding parking skills. Haha.
- I'm young at heart.
Beside the entertaining plot and fun guest star, I really enjoyed seeing Sam and Dean back to being brothers. There was a lot of the good old bantering, the whiny little brother and the caring, highly motivated (welcome back, Dean. I missed you.) big brother. And hey, if you didn't notice that, they whipped out more of the well-proven patterns and DEAN GOT THROWN INTO STUFF AND SAM GOT CHOKED. Just the way I like it.
- You are dinner.
Is there a vegetarian God out there? Cause their choice of poison (men courses, ugh) was kind of gross. But then, Pestilence irked me even more. Seeing all that flying snot made me sort of queasy. Eww. Although it does pose some potential h/c story lines for our boys, yes? Why yes, I do have my kinks.
