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.

I think so, too, Matt. Plus, Castiel had no desire to be earthbound outside of his need to interact with Dean. Gabriel had obviously been eying the human buffet for a while.

Roadkill was on this morning. I rarely watch this one for whatever reason, and I really love the way Sam and Dean interact here. It's a solid, melancholy stand-alone episode.

I really need to rewatch Castiel's introduction again. I'm trying to be patient and go at TNT's pace (which, hell, so much faster than the first time round--but I didn't care this much the first time round).

But everything is so clearly coloured by what's come since. They obviously rewatched Houses of the Holy before they made their angelic decisions, but it's not clear how much other stuff they went back and looked at.

I wonder if the decision to make the Trickster Gabriel was because they liked the actor and wanted him back in the middle of an angel-heavy arc, or what? One more chance to drop a familial anvil? We could have had a Gabriel without him being a familiar face, we could have had a Trickster ep without it being part of the Apocalypse. Or maybe it was too cute not to do.

I'm only my typical halfway through this morning's episode. I like Tricia Helfer's turns away from BSG. She's much better than Katee Sackhoff at not being Galactican.

Is it wrong that I want a long white nightie?

It's not very empowering.

But I promise not to die in it.

Plei knows where to find 'em, I'm pretty sure.

Hey, didn't Bela tell Bobby something about what happened in Albuquerque as a way to remind him where they'd met?

(Am rewatching Sam, Interrupted and suddenly noticed the line about "We know what happened in Albuquerque".)

Yes, sumi! But I think it has to be something that happened that Bela heard of, but wasn't actually present for. Bobby said she was never there.

I just saw the "Boop!" scene, which will never not be awesome. I secretly hope JP ad-libbed it.

Plei knows where to find 'em, I'm pretty sure.

Heh. I hit every flipping thrift store within a 30 mile radius of my house last year before finding one. Though frequently, Target has cotton ones. Just not when I needed one in October.

Now all I need to do is not get obsessed. That should be easy. Just a white nightdress with short sleeves. Easy as pie.

Mmm. Pie.

Okay, now I have pudding thoughts.

"Pudding!"
