Alright, so my thoughts on the episode tonight. Briefly, though, I gotta get back to writing.

But I kinda wish the show hadn't introduced her, because that means there is a fate, and a destiny, and things are supposed to happen a certain way. I don't really like it.

It just makes things confusing for me. I don't feel like it meshes with the previous mythology. How does Fate fit in with Death and all that? And God gave her a script? What? God had nothing to do with the Apocalypse. That was all Michael and Raphael pushing buttons.

Exactly. I mean, I like the character. She was cool. But the idea of Fates sits very poorly with me from a series aspect. :/ I liked it better when it was the Archangels doing their own things, which they thought was the will of God. Instead, it's the will of... some tween-esque demigod?

Mixing mythologies rarely works for me. And once we went really Judeo-Christian, they should have stuck with it. Even before S4 and angels, SPN was mainly Judeo-Christain. Despite the minor legends and MINOR gods we got, the center of the world building revolved around Christian sybmols and rituals to dispel demons, and the Christian hell was a real place. But when you start bringing in major players from other religions, you lose me. But IMO, many shows and books do this. The longer they go on, the more they keep "adding" to the world, so much so that the end doesn't look anythingl like the beginning.

That's very true. Once they started pulling in major players from other religions, things started feeling very... clustered? Unfocused, maybe.

Yeah, there's definitely a history. "if you know her, and I do" I doubt anything will come from it but fic, but I'm intrigued.

But I'm oddly confused about where all this love is coming from.

Yeah, it seemed quite a bit like he was saying "I still love you." I mean-- what?

This show has a really hard time with gently changing relationships. It's either "OH HOW I LOVE YOU BFF" or "I SHALL TEAR YOUR FACE OFF AND WEAR IT". :/

Lmao, when did they want to rip each other's faces off? I mean, Dean and Sam being bitches to Cas was weird and uncalled for, but I don't think they ever hated him.

XD Just hyperbole on my part. All I mean is that the writers have a problem with, well, pacing. In general. With character relationships and their plot lines, they can't really pace it to make it feel more flowing and less... choppy.
