.spn 5.19: or, full-on Babar
Okay, this is going to be short and incoherent, more than likely, because I was out for a thing that involved alcohol. And I'm a beeeeet drunk. Also, this is going to be a liveblog sort of deal, as I'm watching it, via the magic of the internets, with Trin.
Yay, Gabriel!
Oh, mysterious blood spots.
Oh ho, Dean gets shot down. "No." "I understand but no."
It's amazing how not seeing Misha's name in the credits immediately dilutes my interest in the episode. But, uh, at least Cas gets a mention? Hurray for continuity, I suppose.
Hey, pagan gods! This explains the casting call that got leaked a while back. Mercury, huh? Ganesh! Odin! Kali! Interesting. There's actually something to be said, maybe not terribly complimentary given the tradition, for pulling gods of different pantheons into the Christian worldview. I won't talk about it now, though, because I'm drunk. Also, oh yay, American Gods rehash *yawn*
Mmmm, eyeball soup. Nom.
Okay, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Did not to see the roasted head, really, at all. Or the person-haggis or WTF-ever.
What I kind of like: other deities having no clue what's really going on, how old the world is, or how it was made. This gives me hope that God is just as clueless.
WAIT WHAT GHOSTFACERS?
This became so much more fun.
Sigh, just the ad. It would have been fun otherwise.
NO GABRIEL NO :( :( :(
Goddammit WHY does the show fucking do this? I know why, but fucking hell, I hate it. Just give the boys one more ally, okay? HONESTLY. It's like, the second a character decides "hey, I think I'll help Dean and Sam!" they're marked for death, and this is why it's very very very stressful liking Cas so much, because let's face it, he's lasted a lot longer than anyone except Bobby, and I have the terrible feeling it's only a matter of time BECAUSE THIS SHOW IS JUST FUCKING LAME LIKE THAT, and you can only do it so many times, writers--yeah, especially you, my least favorite writers--before it's old and overdone and frustrating. And also, Dean and Sam getting Gabriel, Cas, and a bunch of cantankerous gods and goddesses to form a pact and go against the devil? MUCH MUCH COOLER than collecting rings I could find in the bottom of a fucking box of cereal. GODDAMMIT.
Speaking of: I love how they needed eleven episodes to collect two rings, and now they're going to try and collect two in the space of four. Oh, crazy pacing!
Ending = gross omfg gross gross GROSS GROSSNESS ON A STICK.
I may eventually return with, I don't know, thoughts or something, but I'm still trying to work my way through the alcohol, the disappointment (GABRIEL NO), and SPN's weird (mis?)appropriation of other belief systems. (Which I think is more complicated than Dean's "primitives" remark, considering he hates all supernatural beings equally.) Mostly it's the first getting in the way of the other two, and really, I'm just writing this because I haven't missed an episode since 4.21 and I want to keep my streak going.
So, good night.

I am SO disappointed. And frustrated. I just want to throw things at the writers. Why create wonderful characters just to kill them off? Why come up with potential plots just to screw them over with deeply problematic one liners and action scenes and stupid follow up plots that we don't have any reason to care about at all? Rings worn by really GROSS horsemen? Why would I want to watch that?
Sorry to rant. I'm just feeling... yeah. Frustrated.
