4.2 Are you there, God? It's me, Dean Winchester Dean: "Apocalypse apocalypse? Four horsemen, pestilence, five-dollar-a-gallon gas apocalypse?" Bobby: "That's the one." Can I start by saying that I just loved the title of this episode so very much? And the episode was as good as the title. I am loving this turn to the biblically dark. The sixty-six seals, angels as warriors of God, Lucifer walking free, I'm there -- go for the gusto, guys. Apparently, Dean is going to be an important player in the approaching Apocalypse. Why does this sound so familiar? I was really worried that we were going to lose Bobby. Thankfully, no. Why does Bobby as a character work so well for me? Pretty much because he's like a redneck hands-on version of Giles. He's ingenius and practical and he can come up with something like that wonderful demonic fallout shelter made of iron and salt and you just believe it. (Loved the pentagram over the ventilation fan.) I'm very fond of Bobby. His death would upset me a lot more than Daddy Winchester's. We hit the Big Question. Why would God send an angel to drag Dean out of Hell but still allow all those hunters to get slaughtered? Why does God allow bad things (in this case, very bad things) to happen to good people? I wouldn't want to be a hunter. Bad things happen to them and they mostly die horribly. Much like apostles and saints, come to think of it. Those sad, vicious hauntings were effective. I thought Meg's was the strongest. And that final sequence shoot-em-up was like a very real video game. Bobby will be picking salt out of the walls for weeks. Except salt in the walls is probably a good thing. The very cool Castiel was back to tell Dean that Lilith is breaking the seals, and she was the one who rose the witnesses. Six of Castiel's "brothers" died this week. Angels are dying? Can angels die? Where do angels go when they die? Aren't they sort of home-based in heaven already? Bits and pieces: -- The news about the angels is apparently making the rounds of the demon community, and Ruby was freaked. Which makes me wonder about whose body Ruby is in right now. How many innocent people has Ruby burned through, as Meg said? -- Twin girls. Very Shining. -- Castiel is played by an actor named Misha Collins. I was interested and looked it up. Quotes: Dean: "All I know is that I was not... groped by an angel." Dean: "Say it's true. Say there are angels. Then what? There's a God?" Bobby: "At this point, Vegas money's on yeah." Dean: "But why do I deserve to get saved? I'm just a regular guy." Sam: "Apparently, you're a regular guy who's important to the man upstairs." Dean: "Well, that creeps me out." Ruby: "They smite first and then they ask questions later." Sort of like biblical Dirty Harrys. Sam: "You built a panic room?" Bobby: "I had a weekend off." Dean: "Bobby." Bobby: "What?" Dean: "You're awesome." Sam: "So what do we do now?" Dean: "Road trip. Grand Canyon, Star Trek experience, Bunny Ranch." Castiel: "The Rising of the Witnesses is one of the sixty-six seals." Dean: "Okay, I'm guessing that's not a show at Sea World." Three stars? Four? Billie |
