DUH DUH DUH.

-- Ben in the opening montage? Huh.

-- Michael Shanks looks awfully nummy in this episode. Mmm, scruff.

-- "You missed a few." *snerk*

-- "I mean that with total respect." Oh, Dean. *snuggles*

-- "Why do you want me to say my name? BEEP BEEP BEEP." Cas will figure out phones someday. Theoretically. Maybe even before the apocalypse knocks out cell phone reception! :D

-- "Someone's got to cover Rob's ass." Boy, it's a good thing this slash-happy fandom didn't just hear that line of dialogue in regards to Michael Shanks right before those two guys flirted. We don't need them making things THAT easy.

-- ... uh-oh.

-- Ten bucks says Leah's totally fucking with them. It just feels like she's fucking with them, or that somebody's fucking with her, maybe.

-- "They basically just outlawed 90% of your personality." Heeeeeeeeee.

-- "I'm just pretty sure God stopped caring a long time ago." Aw, the two of them.

-- "I find the sound of your voice grating." *snickers* Drunk!Cas is my FAVORITE.

"I found a liquor store."
"And?"
"And I drank it." BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

-- Ha! I knew it. :)

-- Oh, boy, this is fun.

-- ... oh, good, fandom gets to have more misogyny meta. *sigh*

-- "It's funnier in Enochian." This may be my favorite Castiel episode ever.

-- "Sam, of course, is an abomination." Aw, Sam. :( (And boy, I can't wait for everybody to flip out because Castiel called Sam an abomination when ... well, considering the criteria and his status as Lucifer's chosen vessel, it's apt.)

-- They're really setting this up for the father to kill Leah, but I almost wish they'd let the redhead do it.

-- BTW, I love that so far there has been previews for Katie's movie and JDM's movie. Bless.

-- "I'm an angel of the Lord." Heh. Sound a little more weary, there, Cas. :)

-- No, seriously, I'm really looking forward to more misogyny meta. No, seriously. (Oh, my God, I'm so very much avoiding reaction posts for this episode. Not that I fault anybody who wants to discuss the sexism, but I just ... *sigh* I think I hit a ceiling somewhere along the line and I'm just not up for it anymore.)

-- Oh, good, and now Dean's being a moron. I think.

-- "When I picture myself happy, I picture myself with you." And with that, I want to draw little hearts around the two of them. :D :D :D

-- "The people I'm about to see ..." Oh, fuck.

Next week: Everything goes to shit. Dean -- still pretty. Stupid as hell, but awfully pretty.

*sighs with you*

I'm mostly just gonna replay Drunk!Cas telling Sam not to ask stupid questions in my head all night. :D

1. As soon as I figured out the "whore of Babylon" thing, I thought I could hear the indignant shrieks of fangirls everywhere. (I'm not saying there's no cause, just that I wish we could enjoy an episode without wank of some sort)

2. Drunk cas. ♥

3. Deeeeaaaan

(Also, I missed the "Sam is an abomination" line. Would that be when Cas was discussing how unfit they all were to wield the stick?)

"Next week: Everything goes to shit."

Isn't that every episode of Supernatural, ever?

At least since season three...

I actually like the way they handled the Whore of Babylon. In fact, they could have done her 'a lot' worse. Since she IS a char in the bible, I worried that they would use the word 'whore' in it's literal meaning. Making her all sexual and promiscuous. And thus painting that kind of behavior as if it's bad. Instead they made her all about using religion, which made her much more interesting. And a nice contrast to Nancy from s3

Yeah, in and of itself, the Whore of Babylon as a character was fine. The name is Biblical, not something the writing staff just made up, and she wasn't made out to be a sexual creature. That aspect of the episode wasn't misogynistic, or at least any of the misogyny involved in the name isn't the fault of the writers.

That said, the writers then proceeded to have Dean respond to a name like a two-year-old who just heard the word and starts repeating it over and over again because he knows it's bad and then gave their episode a title that's a song lyric well-known to be followed by the line "... and a bitch ain't one." With the show's reputation, they really didn't need to give the fandom a line like, "On a good day, you get to kill a whore." If they had just left the character as is, it would have been fine.
