SPN 5x19

[starrylizard]

So what did people think? I have to say I was rather relieved about something...

So a while ago I was having a nice lunch with charis_kalos and I was lamenting the fact that SPN had now gone all out Christian. Where their bad guys had previously hailed from many religions, suddenly they were talking Heaven and Hell, angels and demons, GOD and LUCIFER. But where were the many non-Christian Gods? They sort of had Loki (demi-God), so...

But suddenly they seemed to have restricted themselves. As someone who has decided religion isn't for me, but who is fascinated by them nonetheless, this was a big step backwards for the show in my eyes... and then they had episode 5x19! *flail*

I wonder that they appeared to make Lucifer stronger than all the other Gods.... hmmm. Killing them? Not sure about that. But that the writers had thought about it and rectified the situation made me very happy.

Also, finally the way in which the rings are important and how the guys will put Lucifer back in his box. Yay! Plot development finally. The last three episodes hail the end of the annoying filler eps for the season I hope.

Yet another minor character killed off. Definitely a trend there. I can't quite figure out why they never get around to killing Bobby. He certainly is bucking that particular trend... But anyway.

FINALLY!

Lizzie out!

I agree with you. I was *very* enthused about Bobby early on - thought he was a terrific character. But he's lost a lot of his "squee value" for me this season. It's not entirely his continuing series of whiny princess speeches, although that's certainly a part of it. When Jim Beaver made his annual "OMG! Bobby might die in the finale!" speeches in 2008 and 2009, I did a lot of flappy hands. This year, not so much.

Yeah, and I find it interesting that earlier he was about as close to a father figure as the guys had. Now I feel we're constantly told he's a father figure and even Bobby is telling the guys he's like a father to them and because of that he no longer appeals to me in that role any more. Might just be me.

I also happened to love Ellen to itty bitty pieces (among other characters, but Ellen in particular) and they've killed her. They've killed pretty much everyone that has even tried to help the guys out or been forced to help them under duress or loyalty...yet Bobby soldiers on. It's interesting from a writer's point of view. I keep hoping there's a reason. A plan in a future story arc, but I believe they just like this particular character more than their other creations. Or they're more afraid of bad fan reaction with him.

Dunno. It's late, I'm rambling.
