It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm rewatching right now. Because I can.

I was happy to realize at the beginning of the episode that Castiel's existence wasn't something Dean was going to keep secret from Sam, although I would have liked to have seen the discussion. Now I'm waiting rather impatiently for the "By the way, Dean, Ruby's still around and oh yeah, I have these Jedi demon-killing abilities" speech.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I was happy to realize at the beginning of the episode that Castiel's existence wasn't something Dean was going to keep secret from Sam, although I would have liked to have seen the discussion. Now I'm waiting rather impatiently for the "By the way, Dean, Ruby's still around and oh yeah, I have these Jedi demon-killing abilities" speech.

I was happy and surprised that Dean was so forthcoming with his information. Then again, Dean still didn't believe, so he wanted answers. I don't know if Sam, OTOH, will ever find his "right" time to tell Dean. He's correct. Dean's gonna be pissed.

that gave me chills. i actually couldn't tear my eyes from the tv during that whole exchange. talk about presence. damn.

I was asked if this was the premiere because I was so focused on it.

"no, that's the new angel of the lord." duh.

I'm rewatching right now. Because I can.

Me too. Then sleeping and dreaming of angels. Scary angels. Scary naked angels.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That was awesome. I will be rewatching that last scene many many times.

"You should show me some respect."

I am SO GLAD that this happened sooner in the arc than later. Go Castiel with the smacking back at Dean!

Bobby? Awesome. And smart.

Dear Santa, I have been really really good this year. I would like a panic room against ghosts for my very own. I promise to dust it with salt every month. (But I don't need a poster of Bo Derek. A poster of David Bowie or the MCR boys would be just fine.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Was that Bo Derek? I thought it was Ursula Andress. Sigh. The things you miss with a glance.

I like my idea better.

I love that I want to rewatch episodes again.

Me too! I have to wait until the itunes comes through though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Nicki Aycox looks prettier with longer hair. And she was really good there.

tiggy, I am with you on that "You should show me some respect" line. Such coldness there. It was awesome.

Also, Bobby may have a panic room, but he doesn't know the correct title of the Book of Revelation either. I suppose I cannot blame him when Death himself gets it wrong in Good Omens, so.

I wish Olivia had lived. She had some sweet guns. And an EMF detector! Plus, pretty.

Oh, P-C, the pretty gets you every time.

::looks at Winchester boys. looks at angel. grins, shrugs::

I liked Olivia too. She moved and handled her weapons and herself very competently.

So this is two very pretty, sexy brunettes down so far. When do the blondes start to fall?

The new Kruby is very sweet and inoffensive and all appealing and stuff--I'm much more tempted to believe her than Katie-Ruby when she says she's on the side of good.

And then I remember--Demon! Demons lie, it's a basic tenet of the show. I still think she has some purpose that won't be to Sam's or humanity's benefit.

I am SO GLAD that this happened sooner in the arc than later. Go Castiel with the smacking back at Dean!

Even so, it was an empty threat. God commanded Castiel to rescue Dean from Hell... does anyone really think he'd go against that on his own initiative?

Interesting that some angels are being overcome in the conflict. Based on how mighty a power Castiel seems to be, I wouldn't have inferred that demons could win direct confrontations. Or that angels are actually capable of dying.

It was interesting to me that Meg was throwing arguments very similar to fan objections I've heard at Dean. What I can't tell is if Kripke was trying to make a point by having her be the effective villain of that scene, or if Dean's acknowledgment of guilt was supposed to set the tone.
