I've read speculation that Lenore and Madison might be wandering around Purgatory as friendly presences.

Lenore might not be that friendly to Cas now that his mercy killing has delivered her into an eternity of predation and counter-predation with other monsters in a murky wasteland.

Simple fix for the Purgatory sitch: Cas eats all their souls again and sends Dean home with his god-like powers. And Godstiel is now love and peace non-involvement and instead of a killing spree, he makes everyone hug and adopt kittens and play twister.

If Godstiel stays in Purgatory, who exactly does he make hug and adopt kittens and play twister?

My crack spec mutated as I was typing. Godstiel leaves Purgatory as well.

So the premise is that he doesn't need a spell to eat the souls because he's already in Purgatory? Does he stick his hands in their tummies? Suck it out through their necks? Prepare rugaru morsels in a deconstructed werewolf reduction with a vampire glaze? Sounds intriguing...

However, even with the stuff inside him, didn't they still need an Eclipse to open the boundary?

I haven't been reading very much in the way of episode reactions--IO9 didn't like it. What's the temperature out there in various fandom enclaves?

eta: Oh, heh--that purgatory fic I just read made a point that because of how time did or did not flow over there, Sam was now older than Dean when he got them out.

Except Sam's already older than Dean in elapsed time. Halloo.

The usual haters at DeanCastiel loved it. But that's biased because of how much Dean/Cas was in the ep.

Yeah, I have seen a fair amount of "probably should die now, D/C can't get any better" reactions.

I mean, Cas was trying his damnedest for curtain!fic there--all the kitten fic people are peculiarly Kripked.

And, it's true--does anyone even know where Carver stands on the whole long-distance marriage thing? It could be Megstiel 24/7 come October.

I only read the first page on the twop forum. It's a mixed bag of love and hate. But 50% of it seems to be useless snark from posters trained by Demian.

Which, honestly, sounds better than last time I was there. But Demian and the general forum atmosphere irritates me so much they're not getting my page views. Attracting people that can't discuss both Sam and Dean in the same paragraph--yes, please herd them off together out of my line of site, and I will do my darnedest to pretend they don't exist.

Ooh! Whatsername--mobiusklein used to write some really toxic anti-Sam meta (like scenarios where Sam and Sampa *ate* *Dean* for T-giving dinner. And I know that sounds like fic, but it was framed as where the writers should take the character--and of course she doesn't want Dean dead, because she's rabid Destiel, but she is willing to sacrifice her favourite character if it means making Sam look bad. She must be SO FUCKING PLEASED right now I want to vomit.

Problem is, I'm also avoiding people cheering the idea of Sera unemployed, or who say that the series was ruined two years ago, all with the sort of blanket presumptiveness that gets right up my nose. Everything doesn't have to be framed with IMO--I get that you're talking about your opinion much of the time. But when you're telling me how to react, no, that's not subjective anymore. Well, not your subjective, anyway.

Is the word that Sera was asked to leave, rather than choosing to try something new? I guess I assumed she was just ready for a new story, but I also don't blame her anything.
