I actually really enjoyed the episode and your most excellent commentary helped articulate why much, much better than I could have done. Much better!

I also loved the emphasis on betrayal...and family. They are often tied together on this show, aren't they? Larger than life, as are the Winchesters. Yeah, I loved that too.

I'm kind of at the point where I'm fine with anything as long as my boys aren't mad at each other any more. Not real deep, I know! ;)

Thank you hun. Initially I was like..."why are they telling us and not showing us like they normally do... and then it twigged and I was... Oh Show! You art so clever.... *g*

I am SO at that point. They still want to show us how tough family is but now they're giving us Cas to drive that theme instead of the boys. I'm so happy about that. And I think with everything the boys have been through they can use that to understand (and maybe help?) Cas in the future...

I'm also glad that we got it all in one chunk, even if the chunk was a little clunky in format, because I'm not really that interested and this way it wasn't like the whole season dwelled on it or anything.

For once, I am fairly relaxed watching Supernatural... you know, like it's entertainment and not some form of demonic torture. :)

Hee....well... we still have the finale to go.../o\ *thinking positive thoughts only*

Though YES... entertaining is far easier than heartbreaking, soul destorying ARGHHHHH... after an episode.

I love your post v. much. And I linked it in my journal, because YES OMG NOIR, this show never does anything by accident. :D

[ash48]

Oh you did? Thank you.. :)

After all the talk about this season having a "noir" feel I think this one went the whole way. Of all the ways they could have chosen to tell Castiel's backstory this was the best way to do it I reckon..

Nothing is by mistake. (hee... well maybe those little things...)

I really enjoyed this episode in a way that's different from my usual enjoyment of the show (which I'm sure makes no sense, but I can't put it into words, ack!) It was nice to have a Cas-centric episode after his glaring and sometimes as you said, awkward absence... and this did a really good job to tie in his activities throughout the season. Much love for that! it was also a delightful juxtaposition to last week's ep which had me in stitches at some points

[ash48]

It does makes sense..*g* Show was different. I think it asked viewers to change the way it watched it. (and I suspect not everyone would have been happy doing that..). It confused me at first, but once I changed the way I was watching it, I loved it.

I like your idea on Sam's hand print. I'd like to think Show thinks like that but I don't think they think as deeply as we do.

Ahhh... "that lovely voice".... Misha sure does have a lovely voice. <3333

Interestingly enough, if you think about it, Dean is dealing with the same thing he did with Sam when it comes to Cas. Pride

[ash48]

Yes... exactly. What do they say?... Pride before a fall. Sam feel and I suspect Cas will too - unless something major happens to turn things around. I suspect the finale will deal with that aspect

[counteragent]

I actually thought Cas was badass and believed in Dean&Cas! Something I rarely do in canon (but fic can of course get it right).

[ash48]

Oh Cas was very badass.... I like badass Cas. It's like he's discovering what he's made of. But then backs down and gets all thinky about it.

I totally buy Dean 'n Cas (can't do Dean/Cas for some reason..). Theirs is certainly an interesting friendship. Both needing something from the other. It's also so complicated. Hee... but it wouldn't be Show if it was easy.
