switch842I thought the situation presented to us, was completely plausible. Given the state of the world, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Some town going all militia.
Michael!! Oh, it was nice having him back on TV. But I thought he was supposed to be the preacher? *is confused* Anyway. He played his part very well. Though I wish we could have had more of him.
I was a little wary of her being a prophet. I was kind of like "Really? Another one? Hmm..." So, she had my hackles up from the beginning, but I wasn't entirely sure why. And she turns out to be the Whore of Babylon? OK...
(I will admit that I missed a chunk in the middle due to Gabriel. I don't think I missed any of the key points, but there may be further comments after I rewatch. I think I saw some drunk!Cas? LOL)
I LOVE that Dean killed her. As loathe as he is to admit it, he is a servant of heaven. I swore an oath to God at the end of season 4. So, yeah. Plus being Michael's vessel (which I'll get to that below), there's some connection to heaven there.
I will admit I had a little problem at the end. Not with the fact that Dean has that desire to be part of a normal family, but more that it was with Lisa. From what I remember, it was a fling that lasted a couple days, maybe a week. I've always thought that if he was to go back to anyone, it would be to Cassie. They at least had a couple months and he trusted her enough to tell her the truth about who he was and what he did. So, yeah...
Now, moving on to Dean and what we all believe is going to happen next week - He's going to say yes to Michael. After thinking over night about this, I think I don't have as big a problem with that as I thought I might. Here's why:
Hell completely broke Dean. And he's never recovered from it. Sure, he's put on a good show, but living with the knowledge of what he did breaks him more every day. At the core of himself, I believe Dean has always thought himself to be a good guy. He saves people, kills the bad, evil thing. And he's good at it. There's not much that Dean has been good at. School was never really his thing, relationships never really worked out. But he could kill the bad guy and get the innocent back home safe. Knowing that he harmed "innocent" people in hell? Come on. That's just gotta be killing him.
And he's been trying to redeem himself ever since he got back. Going on job after job, trying to get rid of as many of those evil sons of bitches that he can. And then learning that HE has to be the one to stop everything. That he is the only one who can? That's just too much. He can't do it any more. Everyone is asking too much of him. So, he's going to do whatever he can to stop it. And right now, the only way out he sees is saying Yes. He's tried to do it himself, but it's not working.
And that's that.
