I'm just waiting for tvmerch to start marketing Horsemen's rings the way the Noble Collection hawked Barahir and Nenya. Thanks for the link, Morgana.
The color meta is interesting. I hope no one's attributing more import than is actually intended to the colors, but interviews with Serge Ladouceur indicate the color choices and use are deliberate and planned.
Well, they did miss some meta by recolouring the Horsemen, since pestilence was supposed to be in white horse, and death in pale.
Pestilence did have a white coat and Death was pretty pale. I'm stretching it too far, aren't I?

Didn't Death arrive in a white/cream-colored (meaning "pale") car?
Pestilence drove a pus-green, rusted out beater - probably an AMC station wagon or a Chrysler K series from the 70s. Death drove a white classic Cadillac in pristine condition. Famine's mode of transportation was two gas-guzzling Cadillac SUVs, while of course War drove the cherry red Mustang.

OMG. I am my mother when she asked in a very Jewish lilt, "So what the hell is a Who??"
BTW, did anyone else catch the Herpexia poster at the beginning of last week's teaser?
I like the notion that it may be Michael/Adam delivering the beat-down to Dean rather than Sam. I'm okay with never seeing Adam after this. (I know nothing - I am uncharacteristically unspoiled for the finale.)
P.S. Anne, you'd better be prepared to speaketh on Monday. None of this I-was-too-tired-from-the-trip-to-watch nonsense.
Marcia, if nothing else, you must become aquainted with Citizen Cope's "Sideways" [link]
Will With The Unfortunate Last Name has an incredible song called "Seven Master" [link]

Pest was supposed to be on a ride white and Death on pale (green).
War was in the red pony car. Famine had the black SUVs of global warming. Pest's beater was fantastically decrepit and sick looking, if not precisely white. And whoa, Death's ride was sweet - awesomely pale but not white.
Three out of four ain't bad?
I wondered what happened to Pestilence himself suffering the effects of the various diseases he carries from last week. The transition from snot-spraying hobo to urbane sinister doctor was a little jarring. (I kind of liked the imagery of Famine and Pestilence being ravaged by the concepts/ills they embody).
The stone in Pestilence's ring was green, too, as the stone in Death's was white.
I honestly get the green=sick connection, and though it defies expectation, I think it works. I always accepted that "pale" = white, and Mr. Yuck can certainly signify illness for me, so I'm good with it.
I missed the Herpexia poster! How clever! Was it onscreen during the episode?
