Hello! Back after another long hiatus, yay! I have a friend visiting this week, so no ipod music for cut-text, instead I'm going to use a song from the show...and no, not that one...

So much love for this episode - very clever script, and i too adored Fate (can we have a scene where she and Death and Tessa compare their jobs?) Cas seemed very keen to emphasis that what dodgy things he's doing is about Freedom. Now we know noone ever does anything bad under that banner...

I love that they have a sound economic basis for why Cas wants souls!!! But it makes me wonder about those souls in purgatory (and Hell for that matter) and what other back room deals Cas might be doing.

Also the Bobby and Ellen scenes were v. moving, as was Dean tucking in Bobby at the end. Great ep. i think these last five are gonna be one helluva ride!

Oh Fate and Tessa could have such an epic bitching session about the crap they have to put up with :P Personally, I just love true neutral characters - Death and Fate are two great examples.

I'm really curious as to the soul-economy! Because we still don't know why Crowley wanted Purgatory...but I'm thinking that it might be like an untapped goldmine in the angel/demon economy. But HOW souls fuel the economy/war is the question...

I definitely think we're in for a ride until the May finale! I can't wait (even though I know I'll be super sad when it's over).

I always love Jim Beaver's serious scenes...he always knows how to break my heart. Sam Ferris too! I love how they can be so quietly effective in their acting.

Your brain in my brain. This is everything I pretty much thought.

Great minds think alike and fools seldom differ!

I loved that Ellen came back, if only for a bit. :D And I think Cas wants to be called on his bullshit. I get the impression that Balthazar is stringing him on somewhat.

[hells_half_acre]

I'm wary of putting too much of the blame on Balthazar...yeah, I don't think it helps to have an amorall angel as his second in command, but at the same time, I think Castiel knows full well what he's doing and is just making horrible decisions.

I think he definitely wants to be called on his bullshit.

It's always great to see Ellen. I'm lucky because Sam Ferris is a DJ on a radio station in town, so occasionally I can still at least hear her voice!

[franztastisch]

Yeah, I don't mean that its all Balthazar's fault, cos Cas now knows enough to be aware that what he's doing is wrong, but I don't think he has a particularly good influence.

Sam Ferris is clearly awesome then. :D

[hells_half_acre]

Definitely not a good influence. He's probably fully supportive of Castiel's more morally ambiguous decisions. I think Dean is right and Castiel needs better friends.

I love how badly Castiel lies about why Balthazar unsinks the Titanic and the boys don't call him on it. Castiel's people skills are quite rusty after all but yeah, definitely morally ambigious with his actions. And I wonder, is Balthazar taking orders from Castiel just because it sows more chaos or is there something more to it?

And don't forget with the line it is "I think you're confusing me with the angel that wears a dirty trench coat and is in love with you". I wonder if he's had words with Castiel about his choice of attire?

[hells_half_acre]

Yeah, I think Castiel has definitely gotten himself into trouble...but then, who can blame him. War is shit and morals and principals are always the first to go it seems...especially when you're losing.

I often wonder what Castiel smells like...I mean...he NEVER CHANGES. :P
