Where do I begin?!?
This was me at the end of the episode --- >
Well, first off:
- Naomi: I hate her....in a good way. NOBODY messes with Cas. Nobody. I like that they're bringing Heaven back as a 'player in the game.' And I'd like to know what kind of position this lady holds that she has THAT much power over Cas. To erase his memory and force him to answer any question she wishes, under her will?? (Let alone the fact that she had a 'crew' grab him from Purgatory.) That's some powerful stuff right there.
- Cas: I felt better about this Cas, compared to the one we got towards the end of last season. The flashbacks were good. In a weird way, I liked how Cas set Dean straight about what really happened. It was kind of sad, actually. Overall, he's definitely the 'old' Cas, but a much more humble one. He's lost that 'balsy-ness' a bit, but I think that's a product of what transpired in S6 - S7 and understandably. But I got to say, that stunt he pulled with Crowley....WAS AWESOME. Top 10 Cas moment. That was something to remember.
- Crowley: He's one ruthless SOB...even for him. I mean this guy has taken it to an all-new level this season.
Torturing an angel? The guy isn't messing around.
- Prophets: I don't know if all of you caught it (or maybe I missed something), but are we now to believe that Chuck is dead???? C'mon! No way. No how. Please say it ain't so.
As for the other prophet 'potentials,' that's an interesting spin on things to say that the new wave won't 'activate' until Kevin is dead. If that's the case, I hope Kevin doesn't die (or Chuck for that matter, in the slight chance that someone is wrong.)
- Tablets, tablets and more tablets. The more, the merrier. Question is: What are the others about? Angels??? You have one on demons and leviathans. The only one left that makes sense is angels, but I have a feeling there's more.
And finally, Metatron. I love the archangel storyline and can't get enough of it. There's a lot of potential if they go there. But I think that's a BIG if, at this point.
Overall, great episode. Cas is still around next week. I can only hope he lasts for awhile. It was great seeing him back with the Bros.
