This is the Dean Is A Dumbass episode...
Unfortunately, I think so. Because using explosives around the thing that is enormously rare and that you really, really need doesn't seem all that smart to me. And he's gone with a lot of spur-of-the-moment type plans before, but this one verged on idiocy.
Wouldn't Lilith be the mother of all demons?
Yes, but they didn't say mother of all demons, just mother of all.
Mother of all Monsters, I'm thinking.
Mother of all Monsters, I'm thinking.
Yes, that's what I was thinking.
My money is on Tiamat from Babylonian mythology.
That makes sense, because Samuel was collecting all kinds of monsters for Crowley. None of them were demons. And Crowley wanted in to Purgatory something fierce.
Loving the Grindhouse previews.
Oh hell. Samuel again next week. And in flashbacks, apparently, so we can't even see Dean go whumping righteously on his ass.
He did it knowing it was going to split the fans in two, and he did that deliberately, and the ugliness has been epic. I hold him responsible for it and as a storyteller I don't think I can forgive him for it. Some conflict is necessary for drama of course, but he deliberately set out to cause this level of, well, the word ugliness comes up again.
Do you honestly believe he set out to create ugliness between fans? Really? To actively make fans so angry they might stop watching? I have a really hard time believing that. What purpose does that serve?
