Okay, so
moodymuse19 and yours truly spent last week hoping that a Certain Someone-and that's what we called him, a "Certain Someone", capital letters and all-would come back.
And he did.
And now he's gone.
Gabriel was so awesome. Making a fake sword with a soda can? I laughed! Sam and Dean were awesome, and so was the whole idea of using other gods from other religions. (Were they really so weak, though?)
He even made up for the lack of Cas.
At least he left Sam and Dean with Really Helpful Information. I predict next week will be a prelude to an angst carnival, where they sell blood-flavored cotton candy and the clowns will actually kill you.
