I agree completely: Castiel's introduction was one of the 10 best moments in the show. (In fact, that whole episode was awesome.)

I honestly don't think Kripke cares much about adhering to conventional theology. I think they dig up just enough info that they can point to it and say, "See, this is actual mythology!" and then they just run all over the field with it. I'm sure if I were more invested in it, I'd be as peeved with him as a lot of people are - but as it is, I just get peeved over the sloppy story structuring.

I still believe if they hadn't found Jensen, the show would never have made it to a second season.

Totally and absolutely agree.

Oh, I'd take it to Vegas that he doesn't. He says in the interview (which you probably have already read, yeah?) that he doesn't have a world view. (Which I kind of find impossible. You can't be alive without having some sort of thoughts about the world around you.) He goes on to say that if he did have a world view, it'd be humanistic (which, right there, is sort of admitting to having a world view). But as he goes on to explain his humanistic view, at least in the context of Show, I kinda want to tell him that his view and a belief in faith are not mutually exclusive. But for the purposes of his storytelling (the overall act of storytelling, not the execution of the storytelling), I'll let it slide for now.

I think they dig up just enough info that they can point to it and say, "See, this is actual mythology!"Bwah! That's exactly what they do. I know I'm not the first one to be peeved about playing fast and loose with various mythologies ( ... )

I snark with you and agreeing with everything. It's strange he didn't see that and it's even stranger that if not the strike we could never get angels on the show.
