Short and cursory, sorry.

Contains profanity and some speculation.

I've totally decided that the war the monsters are gearing up for is the same as the civil war in Heaven. A power shift of that magnitude is going to shake things up for everybody, so everybody in the know is gearing up for the worst, monsters and demons alike, and the humans are just slow on the uptake. . . .

Yeah, that doesn't really have anything to do with anything, but I felt the need to share it, so there.

(My cat feels your dog-fear pain -- she spent this episode hiding under the futon.)

[claudiapriscus]

I agree. There's definitely going to be some sort of connection.

[caffienekitty]

I'm sure it's linked too. The civil war has destabilized Heaven, Crowley's consolidating Hell and looking to move in to Purgatory, so I don't know for sure if the Monster build-up is to try to take over Earth, or defend Purgatory for the sake of defending Purgatory, or trying to stop Crowley or trying to invade heaven themselves. I have my suspicions though, and it's nice to have to think about tactics and motivation for the bad guys. :-)

Even though Chris has been home sick all week (since Thursday), he even got a Littlest Hobo vibe off that scene. :)

[caffienekitty]

I really wonder if that wasn't deliberate. They could have picked any breed of dog after all.

You are the only person I've read who has sussed out the deep meaning of the ties.

You need to write a tie-meta!

[caffienekitty]

I thought that's what I was doing... XD

[borgmama1of5]

Oh, but go back to the very first tie-wearing instance, and analyze from then, with lots of photgraphic back-up. :)

[caffienekitty]

If I didn't have to work or do Real Life things with 90% of my time, maybe. :-P

I got a question for you. I know it's not exactly relevent to this episode, but... whatever.

Cas gave SamnDean those Enochian symbols on their ribs so no angel (himself included) will be able to track them down, prayer or no prayer.

So how come he can find them now? How come all Dean has to do is cuss him and growl and pretend to pray and here pops Cas?

*ponders*

[caffienekitty]

...Okay, random question considering Castiel wasn't in this ep, but I'll take it.

My theory would be that prayer opens a line of communication, which can be traced. Castiel couldn't trace them from cellphone calls before because A) he was under-powered and B) he's not AT&T. Wrong wavelength or something. After the end of last season, Castiel got levelled up, and I guess prayer is the line-in to Heaven, so tracking it doesn't present a problem for him.

Theory anyway.

Well, we need to find out exactly what sort of "regrettable things are now required of" Castiel... does it tie in with the Monsters organizing? or with Crowley's plans? there was a point where I thought he'd been the one to recruit grampa back into the land of the living... which he still might have been, if he's working with Crowley... arrgh! I just hope it ends up tying in with what we've already seen, because if it ends up being something completely different that we had no inkling of, I'd call a loud LAME.

[caffienekitty]

It's going to be very interesting finding out what the heck's up with Castiel and the civil war, and now that the boys have aired all their linens, so to speak, lets hope they can spare a moment or two to find out what's happening.
