switch842 | 4x16 Promo Flailing

And meta type stuff. I'm supposed to be in bed, but I started brushing my teeth and my brain went kersplodey so I need to get this out so hopefully I can sleep...

OK, so. Dean was the first seal broken to start the apocalypse. Shouldn't the angels have known this?? Especially Castiel, who has apparently been watching Dean for quite some time (possibly before going to hell). So, if they did know, why didn't they stop it? And if they did know and didn't stop it and Dean find out? Holy shit, is he gonna be fucking pissed! Perhaps he does find out and he's the one that beats the shit out of Cas from the promo pics. zldkfj;adsig Because, seriously, why would the angels not want to stop the very first seal if they could?

Then, I remembered

brihana25's post from a few days ago about who the various demons and angels are supposed to be according to our current mythology. This is what she dug up about Uriel:

Uriel: "Fire of God" ... appears as the Angel of Repentance, who is graphically represented as being as pitiless as any demon. - Again, they matched the character and the name perfectly. He's one of the archangels, a warrior, and one of the seven angels that's supposed to rule Earth after the apocalypse.

Did Uriel somehow keep Castiel from dragging Dean out of hell before he broke the seal? Holy shit. This show is going to kill me, I swear.

And then there's Sam drinking Ruby's blood. Which, seems to possibly be some sort of flashback, maybe, as that could possibly be the origin of Super Powerful Sam from last week's episode. If so, though, is Ruby really THAT powerful? I don't think so. This just makes me think even more that Ruby is actually Lilith. Cos there was that look she had, too. She is UP TO SOMETHING. BIG TIME.

Watch this all get Jossed next week... LOL

OK. I'm going to bed. Feel free to flail in the comments and I'll get back to you tomorrow.
