A Title Devoid Of Spoilers.


- I really liked Zachariah's 'pfft, do you really think Lilith could have broken sixty-five seals already were we actually trying to stop it?' You are not as useless as you seem, angels! You are gits, but you are not as useless as you seem.

- I wonder how Derren-Brown-as-Ithuriel would fit into the angelic apocalypse plan. Presumably he would fight against it, because it would destroy at least a large part of humanity, and Derren likes humanity. Humanity is hilarious.

- So Uriel was rebelling against an authority that had the same goal as him. Hmm. (Also, Ruby and Uriel had the same goal. Let's have some fanfiction about their bitchy seal-breaking adventures together.)

- I actually yelled 'YOU BASTARDS' at the screen when Sam was listening to Dean's fake voice message. YOU DON'T DO THAT TO SAM, YOU ANGELIC GITS. Although on one level I very much liked it, because I had been confused when Castiel told Dean that his phone wouldn't work earlier. 'But, er, didn't Sam get a message from him? Is anyone checking this for continuity?' I am sorry for doubting you, Supernatural continuity editors.

- I was very much expecting Castiel to make Dean drink his blood when he cut himself. You did that on purpose, didn't you, writers? (I was, I have to say, mildly disappointed that he didn't.)

- OH, FINE, RUBY, BE (...have been? Nothing sounds right!) WORKING FOR THE OTHER SIDE ALL ALONG. BREAK MY HEART. SEE IF I CARE.

I wonder whether the plan was to have Ruby working towards Lucifer's release from her introduction. Was she ever intended to be a 'good' demon? I'd love to know.

Also, I am going to miss her quite a lot. And I do like that Sam obviously wasn't just a tool to her; she did actually care about him. She just happened to, er, be manipulating him horrifically.

- Oh, Sam, you can't get away from every girl with whom you have sex dying even if the girl was a corpse to begin with. (Let us ignore 'Sex and Violence'; that was obviously a mistake. They were probably just having a naked conversation.)

- NOW I'LL NEVER GET TO SEE RUBY POSSESSING A MAN WHILST MAINTAINING HER FEMININE BODY LANGUAGE. Alas!

- I thought Supernatural finales were supposed to kill everyone! This one only got rid of Ruby! That's pathetic, Supernatural. Oh, wait, there was Lilith as well, wasn't there? Whoops. Forgot about her.

LEAVING US WITH PRECISELY NO RECURRING FEMALE CHARACTERS. You'd better bring Ellen and Jo back, Supernatural. (Oh, we still have Anna, don't we?)

- I enjoyed this episode, but I did feel it was a tiny bit predictable. Last year had the 'no, surely they wouldn't actually send one of the two main characters to Hell' shock, but after that did anyone really expect them to stop Lucifer?

Also, the episode title was a bit of a giveaway. ('Lazarus Rising' also had this problem. JUST STOP PUTTING 'RISING' IN YOUR EPISODE TITLES WHEN THE RISING IN QUESTION IS A HUGE PLOT POINT, SUPERNATURAL.)

- SAM AND DEAN ARE TOGETHER AGAIN

HAPPY ENDING

...no, seriously, the final seal was broken and the Apocalypse was beginning and all I was thinking was 'yay, the brothers' relationship has been repaired!' MY PRIORITIES ARE FINE.

- Speaking of my brilliant priorities: what Pokémon would Lucifer have?

YOU DON'T DO THAT TO SAM, YOU ANGELIC GITS. See, I read it as: a) Castiel/the angels stopping Dean from using his phone the second time round (while stuck in that room) and b) Ruby manipulating the message so that Sam didn't hear Dean's actual message. If you watch her eyes in that scene... well, she has a look just before Sam uses his phone. Hence, I think it was her - worried that Dean would be able to stop him from going through with it.

I liked that she was still AWESOME even after it was shown that she was actually EV0L. And she still seemed to care for Sam too. Aww.

Yeah, sucks to be a female character in the SPN-verse, right? *le sigh* Though that female angel didn't die though, whatsername?! Also BRING ELLEN AND JO BACK! RIGHT ON! SECONDED! Want to write a letter to Kripke about it?!

Naaaaaaah, I still think it was Ruby. Though I guess the angels also wanted Sam to go through with it, same end game, more or less, so maybe it was them. Hmmm?

I think Sam should be a woman for the entire fifth season with no explanation. LOL! Awesome! Shall we put that in the letter to Kripke too??!

Nix was also bemoaning the lack of bodyswap in 4 seasons of the show. I hope season 5 delivers on that one too!

I want Lucifer - well, I want to have MAD ART SKILLZ so that I can represent this to THE WORLD/INTERNET - I want Lucifer to be Ash - a smooth Ash, in a shiney red suit/tails, with blow-dried brushed hair (still a mullet of course!), and fauny goat legs with red fur, and hoofs and a forked tail, and a cane which he twirls as her grins at the boys! But he's still very Ash-like despite being Satan. This is my dream. :D

Dear Mr Kripke...

I just hadn't thought Ruby would be capable of it. You probably pay more attention to these kind of things than me. ;)

I meant to use THIS icon so as you'd know which Ash I meant. I am still dismayed that people do not share my love. Devil Ash - boy, he could be like Devil Bob in Twin Peaks, which would be freaky as all fuck. Except I imagine him more like that singing demon (Sweet?) in Buffy. Well, dressed like that anyway, but more mullety and Ash. Well, anyway...

If I wasn't about to go to bed, I'd make a manip. Also, Google has informed me who Ash Ketchum is (http://follownobody.duckweedmafia.com/pictures/ash%20ketchum.jpg:), so now I know. Er, kinda.

Chad Michael Murray would be LOL.

Derren Brown? THIS SUGGESTION COMES AS A HUGE SURPRISE FROM YOU, RIONA. WHO IS THIS DERREN BROWN OF WHICH YOU SPEAK??
