Until 10:02 p.m., when I got a profane text messages (of the OMFG persuasion). AuthorM was going to <I>die</I>. And then the show she skipped sleeping to get/prepare for us didn't play! We had to get it from iTunes.<br /><br />Man, so much to discuss...<br /><br /><I>Why was Sam the only one who could kill Lilith and open the doorway?</I>Because he's the one who made it to that point. It wasn't that it was supposed to be Sam all along, destiny or whatever. Remember, Azazel spent 30 years trying to get the right kid (even when Sam was an adult, when he tried to get to Rosie). He needed the strongest kid, the one who would make the choices to take him to the devil's gate that would free Lilith, and even if he'd had the kid before, he didn't have the Colt. So then Jake opened the gate, Sam killed Jake, which put him on top, and Lilith was free. Enter Ruby, to groom Sam for the endgame. At <I>that</I> point he was the only one. He was the only one who'd been tagged with the demon blood and therefore had the ability to kill Lilith. So it was a progressive thing.<br /><br />Um...I think Lilith was white because she was the first demon, and therefore special. I have to watch again, but I feel like Ruby indicated she wasn't human. Not sure about that.<br /><br />I would like them to defeat Lucifer right away and spend the rest of the season rebuilding their relationship and dealing with the aftermath of what they've been through. Since Misha Collins says he's going to be in 17 episodes, though, I suspect I won't get my way. :)<br /><br />I've wondered if Lucifer was going to possess Sam. Everything else needs a human host (angels and demons). Don't want that, either.<br /><br />I'm fine with the portrayal of the angels. I admit to not knowing my Bible, and having much of my "knowledge" coming from other mythologies (primarily Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality), but if God made the angels, and the angels had the ability to fall, they're really not much different from the humans God made, and prone to ambition and resentment and any other emotion. We've seen 4 angels, two "good" ones, and two "bad" ones. Seems pretty even to me.<br /><br />Gotta go tuck the kid into bed, but I'm thinking we should have another post(s) later on to discuss more!

But Bobby <br /><br />IMO, Bobby is an honorary Winchester! And I was s glad he said what he did to Dean about sounding like his father and that being the cowardly route because, as firmly as I usually am in Dean's corner, when he said that at the end of the last ep (to Sam, about not coming back), I thought it was EXACTLY something John would have said.

Is it just me who...That's a great episode summary.<br /><br />Is it just me who kept noticing how every insult was some anti-woman reference? I really enjoy this show, but that seemed out of place to me. For instance, during Bobby's argument with Dean and later when Dean argued with Cas the insult hurled was "son of a bitch." <br /><br />Maybe it's just that those insults were juxtaposed with the boys having to kill both Lilith and Ruby in one episode. The scene when Dean stabbed Ruby -- and Sam trapping her from behind -- had a lot of sexual implications. <br /><br />That being said, Alastair and Zach do off-set that "woman as demon" trope. I wish we'd seen Ana in this episode, but hopefully she'll show up next season. <br /><br />I did notice that Lilith exhibited a white light and wonder if it's important. <br /><br />Regarding Zach's contention that "God has left the building," I wonder if this Armageddon-pushing angel contingent imprisoned him somewhere -- sort of like pagan gods being stuck in Tartarus or something. I want to know what's special about Dean that he's the only one who can stop Lucifer. <br /><br />Also, did anyone catch that Ruby told Sam he never actually needed the blood to become strong, that the ability was in him all along? This hopefully means he can be rehabilitated and yet retain his power.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08226550966725485156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236066461375464188.post-90040230977783277592009-05-15T12:36:00.000-05:002009-05-15T12:36:00.000-05:00grand-sophy, interesting comments, especially that...grand-sophy, interesting comments, especially that they're not going to cast Lucifer.<br /><br />And a reminder to everyone -- we're not going anywhere this summer.

Not Lucifer's son, just the first human with the potential to break the final seal.<br />2. I'm wondering whether they're going to be fighting Lucifer so much as fighting the angels and demons. As the first among angels, closest to God, Lucifer may be disgusted with both sides and choose to sit it out. Maybe he'll go off hunting for God, Who's "left the building", hoping for a reconciliation.<br />3. My understanding is they're not going to try to cast Lucifer, just as they couldn't reasonably cast God. Special effects, yo!<br />4. Well, duh! Angel on the lam (sung to the tune of "Man on the Run").<br />5. After a year of separation, and fan anxiety, I'm betting they'll be back to metaphorical conjoined, if squabbling, twins.<br />6. You can't keep Ben Edlund down for long. Maybe we'll get to see some new, apocalypse-generated monsters.<br />7. The amount of Hell on earth will be exponentially related to how much Kripke keeps the boys separated or at odds next year, and it will be all fan generated.<br /><br />That's enough yakking from me.
