4.02 Are You There God? Its Me, the Hottest Dude on TV
You know, I just sort of internally squee when I write 4.xx. Season 4! OMG! \0/
I've just come back from a brief sojurn over to Television Without Pity. And proceeded to upload a few Sam (& one Bobby) icons as a show of support. I don't think the Sam-hate is rampant, but once again he is being judged as the inferior brother for not sharing everything with Dean. Um, could it be it's because it's called Drama? *geez*
Two years ago, at the beginning of season 2, I wondered if we were watching The Dean Winchester Show. I'm not inclided to say so again, because in the end, I think season 2 was very nicely balanced. The seeds are here for some major Sam mojo in later episodes, but right now we need to stay with Dean's storyline, since that's where the "bigger-picture" story is heading. Still, would it kill 'em to end just one scene with a close-up of Sam instead of Dean? I guess I really shouldn't complain. Sam has been driving the Impala a great deal so far.
I'm kind of meh about this episode. It wasn't a bad episode at all, it just didn't draw me in like last week's. Maybe, like Dean, I'm missing the bigger picture. You know, Armageddon. I had read a spoiler awhile back about Lillith trying to break Lucifer free, so that wasn't a total surprise. (Still didn't ruin the dramatic moment, though.) Perhaps I'd hoped there would be some sort of eternal bonding with the ghosts instead of their blind hatred. Of course, Sera Gamble had to embellish on the demise of Henricksen and Nancy, letting us know that poor adorable Nancy not only died a virgin, but was brutally tortured in the process. I guess thats the price we pay for keeping Bobby alive.
Many years ago, I thought of writing a story about the second coming of Christ. In it, Christ would return to earth as a baby, so that his (or heck, even her) presence wouldn't be so obvious, that believing would require leap of faith. Interestingly, my heroine, the woman chosen to bear the child, had a sense of humor about it, saying nearly the exact same thing Dean Winchester said about God choosing him. Heee. Go, me.
And for all those who were wondering how come Dean ended up on the floor, the answer is obvious: they played Rock-Paper-Scissors for it. Apparently hell didn't teach Dean to divert from scissors.
The ending left me with some major questions, though. What battles were Castiel's brothers fighting when they died? And how do you even kill an angel? And is Sam even in next week's episode??
