Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Supernatural
First of all, with a name like that, you'd at least think Thor would be in there. ^^
Now then, I really liked this episode. It felt like a return to the old ways, a return to the boys being brothers. Just, all around good stuff. They managed to keep the light-heartedness in there along with the dark stuff.
Now, we know I've always had a love-hate relationship with the show in regards to Pagan gods, but I kinda like how they were portrayed here. Minus the eating people thing. *shrug* I also have a hard time believing that an angel, even an archangel could kill them. Lucifer though? Yeah, maybe.
And I'm TOTALLY not the only one who thought of Lucifer as Lucy. ^^;
Gabriel confuses me. First he's a trickster "like" Loki. Then he's Gabriel, then he's actually Loki, and then nope, he's just Gabriel pretending to be Loki. Which... I mean, it works, right up until the point where Kali (I think it was her that said it anyway) says that they were around a lot longer before Judeo-Christianity popped up. In which case... did Gabe kill Loki and take his place?
Also, why did all those gods just die like regular humans? *will not just sit back and accept this* Why is it so much more difficult to kill an angel or a demon, who would technically be a lesser being, than it is to kill a god?
Those are my major gripes with the episode really.
Points of awesomeness? Dean walking past Vishnu and then coming back to find his human form. XD
Also: "There's someone behind me, isn't there?"
And the point where you really know they're back to form? Sam got choked again. ^^;
I have to really hand it to Jared. The look on his face when Lucifer walked in, that look of absolute fear and a bit of sadness? Just perfect.
Also, Gabriel redeemed himself in my eyes. I like that little tidbit near the end, actually no, not a tidbit, I like the whole interaction between Luci and Gabe. The brother-ness and how Lucifer taught his little brother all those tricks. I'm a sucker for family stuff like that.
Oh, another gripe: I have a hard time believing that SUPER!Awesome!Lucifer would be tricked back into his prison. They make him out to be this crazy powerful, dangerous, intelligent creature and then try to say that he wouldn't know about the place he'd been locked in for centuries... Eh.
And what a coincidence, the Horsemen's rings are the keys! It's like a video game (I kept thinking about Darksiders). It is a neat idea though, since technically the Horsemen should be out of the reach of angels and demons, working on a different level and all.
Love that Pink Panther guy (from Lawnmower Man) is Pestilence. XD On the note of Pestilence though? Ew. EW. I had a hard enough time with people gorging themselves in Famine's presence... Pestilence snotting over everything and everyone? *shudders*
Since my previous theory of the final showdown being with Zach for the finale was snuffed in the last episode, my new prediction is the Horsemen rings. Specifically Death's. Especially since, for the most part, they seem to be abandoning that storyline for the next episode. From what I could tell.
Anyway, yes. That is my disorganized review-y... thing. GOOD STUFF!
On the subject of Supernatural, it got me thinking. If it always had to be Sam who would be Lucifer's vessel, why was he a part of the Psychic Kids Smackdown! in season 2? Why would they risk losing him like that? I mean, sure I thought that Azazel was making all these kids to potentially be a Lucifer suit, but then I remembered the whole "It has to be Sam" thing and the plot just... hit a brick wall. If Dean hadn't made that deal then none of this would've happened... Then the demons could've brought him back, maybe. But they didn't.
... Confusion!
Also, everyone's probably talked about this already but I can be rather oblivious and slow on the uptake when I want to be. So there. :P
And YES! I've got a Yoav ticket. I don't know if anyone's coming with, but whatever, I'm going to go see him. 'Cause he's awesome.
... I've had too much sugar.
