Yeah bring em back but not just yet! Too soon, too easy, we know the drill! Anyway, we close. So we got Ketch as a definite ally, we got... Well Charlie, we got potentially Gabriel who's gonna come back lend his hand eventually! Looks good right? Meanwhile what's happening on Lucifer side is hilarious bur scary. This one worries me! Well we'll see what's what.
NOOOOOOOOOOO SAM FLINCHING WHEN DEAN GETS MAD :sob: I bet he got reminded of John
My heart breaks for Gabriel. :frowning2:
I'm starting to like Ketch... I might regret that later though... But for now he's pretty cool. (Kinda like Alex Krycek in The X Files. Except Krycek was likeable from the beginning.)

"So if it's gone, then that means that we can't open that door again. If we can't open that door, then I should've never come back! Son of a bitch! Every time! Every time we get close, it always falls apart. Every freaking time"
Now, THAT, is what I call acting. Jensen was magnificent there. His frustration was palpable and I actually felt it. That poor boy has been on a roller-coaster of emotions: severe depression, utter happiness, hope of getting everyone back. He's even said he's got faith. That last scene was gutwrenching. As much as I loved Dean's freakout, it was very worrying. It was so powerful at the same time. Both Jared and Jensen are killing it with their emotional scenes this season. I swear after 13 years of Supernatural I feel every damn emotion as if it was me the one going through it.
The same goes for Sam. His speech to Gabriel was so heartwarming it actually hurt.
"Gabriel, you have to dig yourself out of this hole. Look, I know you think it's safer inside. No more torture. No more pain. No more expectations. I've been there. You were nothing like your family. You sure as hell weren't like your dad. Me either. And just like you, I got out. Or I thought I got out. But then my family needed me. And this is my life. No matter how many times I tried to fight it, this is what I was put here to do. This is where I make the world a better place. And sure, yeah, hookers in Monte Carlo sounds great, but your family needs you. Jack, your nephew, needs you. The world needs you. We need you. Gabriel, I need you. So, please, help us".
That was just beautiful. Sam's "I need you" to Gabriel was a nice parallel to Dean's "I need you" to Cas in that crypt in season 8's "Goodbye Stranger". When I thought that scene couldn't get any better, they got Dean's family dedication theme playing in the background. Simply beautiful!
We got Charlie back! I can't believe they kept it a secret! I was so happy to see her again. It was unexpected although I shouldn't even be surprised at that point. I guess we'll see many dead characters again. I love Charlie and I'm still mad at the writers for killing her off like that, so it was a goddamn pleasure to see her again. It was also nice to listen to Dean's conflicted feelings about her death.
The Dean-Ketch duo was savage. I loved it. I can't believe I'm saying this but Ketch has grown on me. I still haven't forgiven him for killing Magda, but I liked him this episode. I've always had a weird love-hate relationship with him. I love David Haydn-Jones, though. Now that I'm starting to like him, it could only mean one thing: he's biting the bullet soon. Redemptive moments can't be taken for granted.
Dean getting shot shocked me. At this point, instead of worrying that they might die, I just think "oh, that guy is gonna regret it". Supernatural stuff, I guess.
Watching Gabriel being so afraid broke my heart and shattered it into a million pieces, but you gotta hand it to him, even traumatized, the guy still has a sense of humour: "So I did what anyone would do, moved to Monte Carlo and shacked up with port stars".
Gabriel's first words: "Port stars. They were port stars, Sam". Classy. More beautiful words have never been spoken. That's the Gabriel that I know and love. I liked the explanation of how he survived. I still don't get why Luci didn't realize he couldn't have killed him without an archangel blade, but still. I sort of liked that Gabriel didn't just jump on the "Let's help save the world" wagon. It makes sense, and although I'm sad he went away, I'm sure he'll be back for the big fight.
One thing that I didn't expect was for Asmodeus to get killed off tonight. I hoped he suffered a slow and painful death, but I didn't expect it to happened so soon. That energy ball he attacked Gabriel with was weird. It felt straight out of an anime show. I'm guessing Colonel Sanders is now Kentucky Fried Demon. (I'll let myself out).
The line that cracked me up was "Sam, I don't think he's gonna open up and let the choo-choo in", lol. Misha said that with a straight face. Sometimes I wonder how they get anything done in this show.
I think I've run out of ways of expressing how much I love Lucifer and how much I love seeing Mark Pellegrino in my TV. I loved the interrupted exorcist scene and I didn't know how badly I needed that in my life until now. I could watch a whole season of Lucifer trying to be God. That suit he wore tonight was cool wink, wink, Lucifer, the show. By the way, it still feels weird seeing Lucifer with other outfit rather than his original one.
That ending scene left me preoccupied. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If they don't find Gabriel I guess they'll get the cage open to get Michael's grace, or Michael himself, and that he will take Dean's body for a spin to fight alternate universe Michael.
Overall, great episode this one. My two highlights were Sam's and Dean's emotional scenes. Great acting there.
