But Why Would A Daffodil Go To Hell?
Firstly, I'd like to thank you guys for being so good about cutting spoilers! I didn't get to see the episode until today, but I still had no idea what was in it when I eventually settled down to watch it. I love my flist.
I actually went :D at the end of that episode. SAM IS LUCIFER'S VESSEL. I am sorry for grinning like an idiot when you were going 'noooooooooooo', Sam, but if we can't have Derren Brown as Lucifer that is easily the next best thing.
I generally loved that episode. PRETTY MUCH NOTHING PLOT-RELATED HAPPENED IN IT (well, prior to the final scene) AND I LOVED IT ANYWAY. Dean calls a vampire 'Twilight'! Raphael is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Angel! Castiel is charmingly confused! (I loved 'We'll tell the officer that he witnessed an angel of the Lord, and the officer will tell us where the angel is.' The thought that it might not work simply doesn't occur to him!)
I have so much more affection for Castiel after that episode. NEVER STOP BEING CLUELESS, CASTIEL. 'This is a den of iniquity!' Castiel is terrified of prostitutes! 'Look, Dean, I am trying to answer this man's question. He asked me to repeat myself, so I did. I didn't say nothing! You are mistaken!' (I didn't really like his embarrassment at never having had sex, though. I doubt virginity has much of a stigma attached amongst angels.)
I think Dean/Castiel is verging on becoming one of those pairings that is made so obvious that I, being a bit contrary, actually cannot 'ship it. There were so many points in that episode - Castiel failing to respect Dean's personal space, Dean buttoning up Castiel's shirt, Dean's insistence that he won't let Castiel die a virgin - at which I thought 'ah, they clearly threw that in for the fangirls'. I suspect Kripke is actually trying to stir up Dean/Sam versus Dean/Castiel 'shipwars, just so he can sit back and cackle.
(If we are forced to pick sides, I'm coming down on the 'Castiel is madly in love with Dean, the brothers' love is platonic, and, whilst the Sam-and-Dean relationship is far more important than the Dean-and-Castiel one (pfft, Dean, you are such a liar when you say you're happy on your own), it's the Dean-and-Castiel one that's going to become sexual if I have to choose' one. Does that count as a 'side'?)
Is there going to be weird pseudo-necrophiliac Sam/Lucifer!Jess fanfiction? I do so hope there is.
(So much has changed! Back in season two, who would have suspected that one day Dean and an angel would be trying to find God whilst Sam woke up in bed next to Lucifer?)
And, hey, the brothers' separation is going to last more than an episode! I am quite pleased by this, and I'm not sure why. I think I was just expecting it to be a one-episode gimmick, but no; this is actual plot.

But these are just my thoughts of course. :)
