Does anyone even remember Glenn Close's character name in Fatal Attraction?
Alex ... something.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Man, why were there so many movies where women went creepy batshit in a sexual way over Michael Douglas? I think there were at least three. And at no point during the period of time where it felt like there was a new one every few weeks was Michael Douglas even remotely hot.

I know there was the infamous one with what's-her-name uncrossing her legs, and there was one with Demi Moore sexually harrassing him. In each movie his costars kept getting younger and the grossout factor kept getting worse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know what to make of it in light of him being Gabriel.
Actually, it makes me wonder even more what is up with Castiel. How come he has no libido and no sense of humour? Gabe's got junk...is Cas that much of a company man?
I've been poking around a lot of fic recently (oh, the trauma, oh the crack, oh the addictiveness), and I certainly get where a lot of the Dean-centric fics get their Sam and brotherly bond characterisation from.
Which is kind of a shame, although I enjoyed their repartee. And the fake fight at the end, and the emotionally stunted apology.

Yeah, it is weird seeing it now with that knowledge.

Retcon. Handwavium. In other words, I really don't think Kripke and the writers had the Gabriel/Trickster identity planned out from the beginning.

Been out of the country for two weeks and am catching up. For the record? Last episode is a bad one to try watching while eating dinner.

I don't think it's that hard to retcon the Trickster as Gabriel. He'd broken with God/heaven/whatever, and was certainly indulging in carnal/human pleasures. And for his own amusement he was doling out poetic justice to a lot of assholes, which has a vaguely angelic, if twisted, vibe. Fucking with Sam and Dean was probably just an amusing bonus -- he doesn't kill them, after all, and maybe because he knows who they are?
That said, I don't think anyone writing the show had any idea he would wind up being Gabriel down the line.

Remember that the Castiel of 5 years in the future certainly seemed to have a libido and sense of humor. Maybe it just takes a little time to get out of formless-etherial-being-of-light mode and start enjoying life as a physical experience.
