That said, no, water is not the best way to put out an oil fire as the water spreads the oil around and can make the fire spread over a larger area. But, if you have enough of it and it's the only thing you have, use it, don't burn.
Well, it seriously depends on the amount of water you have in comparison to the fire. The Mythbusters recently created some terrifying fireballs by dumping water onto burning oil.
The thing that bothered me is that this ep felt like a serious retcon of the trickster. I re-watched the previous 2 trickster eps and while the second one (the one from season 3), one could argue that Gabriel may have behaved in that way, it is unclear why Gabriel would act the way he did the first time around (season 2). I mean, the trickster acted in ways that I would consider "evil" - and yet he is supposed to be an angel?
He's an angel in his own private witness protection program. How that is different from fallen, I don't know.

They did have a lot more water than fire in this scenario.

Zechariah seems pretty evil to me. And he's an angel. ::shrugs::

And it filmed gorgeously. I will seriously lower my standards for the pretty.

Often, when Jilli's complaining about occult stuff, as I roll my eyes with love, I tell her, "Yeah, but doing it THAT way would have been a crappy shot!"

I agree with Cass, bad guys don't have the market cornered on being dicks.
The first thing we saw the Trickster doing was killing the adulterous professor: punishing him for his crimes, albeit in a really funny way (for values of funny that probably only apply to omnipotent beings). One can assume that, while Gabriel probably wasn't doing that a lot because he was trying to stay under the radar, he couldn't in good angel-y conscience let that guy continue doing what he was doing when he was right in front of him.
Makes a kind of sense to me.
I read something on LiveJournal that was suggesting that in Mystery Spot Gabriel/the Trickster was still thinking it was possible to break their dependence on each other and was trying to force that in order to prevent...well, all of this. Whereas now he's concluded that it can't be done and is just trying to force the end as he said. (Was reading on my bb so I couldn't mark the post or I'd link.)
It's been long enough since I watched MS so I'm not sure how well it holds up, but it might be an explanation for the divergence between the Trickers then and now.
sloppy occult research in the writing of the show

Dude, you don't want to know what percentage of my Celtic Mythology classmates couldn't say it correctly.
Though pronouncing things isn't the same as researching them.
Signed, pronounces everything wrong.
