I'm not sure how I feel about this episode.

I loved the ep. It's causing an epic wankstorm, though, from people claiming that Kripke "Jossed the Wincest." Seriously.

[dragonsinger]

Oh, yeah, I saw the Wincest wank. What? Did they always expect it to be canon? Do they realize incest isn't normal? Oh, fandom, you're so funny.:)

[kajivar]

It seems pretty evenly divided between those who are taking it good-naturedly (especially because the writers poked fun of their own selves -- "no one should have to live through bad writing" -- hee!), and the ones who somehow think that when confronted by wincest, Dean and Sam would've been all "That's cool, why don't we try it?" Logic is not strong in these ones.

[dragonsinger]

Not really...and that kind of scares me.

[tinylegacies]

Yeah, I agree that the Winchester Gospel thing is a little over the top.

But then again, if they end up averting an apocalypse, it makes a certain kind of sense.

I dunno.

I loved the ep though, as you saw in my journal :D

That's pretty much exactly what I was going to say. :) I know a lot of people don't like the addition of angels to the mix this season; personally, I love the fact that we're actually getting action from the side of light, which is usually lacking and something I'm frequently annoyed at in shows or books like this. (Buffy's a big example.) And with the boys being the ones who have to avert the literal apocalypse... well, I guess getting gospels makes sense. It's weird, but there you go. What makes it OK for me is the knowledge that in 2000 years, those books are going to read a lot differently.

This is what I don't understand - the Biblical Apocalypse is not supposed to be feared or stopped. It ushers in God's Kingdom on Earth, ending the existence of evil forever. I do not want the Winchesters to stop that. If they'd call it the "end of the world", I'd be able to roll with this garbage easier.

[dragonsinger]

Oh, the ep itself was hilarious. "I am the Prophet Chuck." *Giggles*

[danamulder]

Well, the Gospels thing threw me for a minute, too, but it's been made clear that Dean is (apparently) a warrior for God, and Sam is still we-don't-know-what, plus they're supposed to stop the rise of Lucifer/the Apocalypse. So in a way it kind of makes sense that their story would be told, should they be successful.

I mean, I'm just not surprised by anything they're doing anymore, and Jensen's pretty much the tent pole holding this whole thing up for me. If he wasn't so awesome, I might have gone somewhere else by now, but he is, so here I am and here I shall stay.

DITTO!

[dragonsinger]

Jensen does have that ability to make you love him, doesn't he?

I found the entire episode hilarious - I really liked it. From the dissing of wincest to the use of Styx aliases De Young and Shaw (my first rocker crush). I loved Chuck announcing himself to the demon and Kripke apologizing for the less than stellar episodes. All of it was an inspired wink at the fans

At first the Gospel declaration had me rolling my eyes but the commentors above are correct -if the Winchesters defeat the devil and avert the Apocalypse than their story would take on religious significance.

[dragonsinger]

That's true...I guess the Gospel thing went beyond my ability to suspend my belief.:) But the episode was fun.:)

[dragonsinger]

True, true. And the episode was fun.:)
