Well, we know now the angels know Dean is the only one who can stop Armageddon. You've got to think these "Hell's Angels" will likely have Dean on their hit list. And then what is Sam's role in all this?

I do think Uriel was a very interesting and surly character, and I'll miss him. I was struck early on by how very much Uriel's attitude toward humans seemed very nearly like Lucifer's. I am surprised and intrigued at the idea of "dark-side" angels, as well as what Castiel's next move will be. Hopefully, Dean's guardian angel.

As for Sam... Boy, oh boy.

OMG I MAY EXPLODE WITH YEARNING FOR THIS SHOW!!! WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT!!!

Holy shit.

I just finished watching, and... wow. That last scene with Dean and Castiel was harrowing. Poor, poor broken (in so many ways) Dean. That scene left me really believing that he was ready to give up.

I do fear for what will happen when Dean finds out what Sam has been doing to boost his strength (I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he is not going to find out from Sam himself). I don't think it's accidental that the Uriel vs. Castiel fight was framed as brother vs. brother, or that you've got one of the pair thinking he is doing what is right and necessary and the other one very much in doubt of his own righteousness.

I think I prefer my renegade angels to be doing what they believe is the Lord's work loyally, just in a way that will result in extinction-level collateral damage, rather than defecting to the other side or sneering at the very idea of God. Gabriel in Constantine worked very well for me, Uriel not so much.

I'm sure that Dean won't find out from Sam. I saw the vamp-ho Rilesque scene in the Canadian promo and uh- yes went to the Riley thing.

I was also disappointed that Uriel turned out to be the rogue. I wonder if Uriel has been doing something to make Castiel less effective against, say, Alastair - because I agree that it's wrong that he has less power than Sam does.

"Shit, they just made another black character a Judas, and then dead" was a judgment.

Thank you. That ruined an otherwise perfectly awesome ep for me. I am just. so. tired. of the tin ear on Show.

I think i'm going to go home and watch this ep again tonight. i spent most of last night with my heart in my throat. they are really breaking Dean(and in the process me).

I do think we've finally found something Misha doesn't do well. fight scenes. his hits looked so wimpy! i'm surprised ita hasn't been in here complaining about his technique.

The J's and Christopher Heyerdahl certainly have more experience on their resumés for that particular skill.

ita is undergoing medical treatment we hope will relieve some of her pain.

I am just. so. tired. of the tin ear on Show.

Surely we are not the only part of fandom who notices this? Have the showrunners really missed all the criticism on this? Or do the showrunners know and just not care?
