The angel reference has me apprehensive as well as really, how much farther can you go without pushing the line from entertainment to, well, picking a side or preaching to a choir?

And there's that. I suspect that they are using religious images as metaphor. As far as I can tell, no one in the writing/producing is actually devoutly anything (Sera--mildy Jewish, Eric--Church of Rock, Edlund--Goth) and they've been very diligent about taking from a number of religious traditions, though perhaps unsurprisingly they've relied most on the most prominent religion on their culture, Christianity ( ... )

There is no way I can leave my delightfully shallow squee on such a thought-provoking post...

But I agree this premiere far surpasses last year's, and hopefully bodes well for teh future.

Ack! No! That was not what I was going for! Squee away!

1) Sam's hair--so much better. Light years. Remember the bad old days of S2 (I think I've traumatically repressed scenes from Everyone Loves a Clown)? So. Much. Better.

2) Dude, hugs! This was the all-hugs, all the time episode. I'm going to be coming back, again and again, to revisit the awesome. Bless you, Kripke, for realizing that we all needed that. Dude, if you can't hug after your brother returns from the dead, when can you ( ... )
