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!

Yes, I agree. I do like how they managed to touch base with their pagan-gods roots of the show in this episode.

As for killing Bobby ... honestly, I feel that's it's very likely that he will get killed off, but it might happen closer to the season/series finale because he's practically more than a minor character and I'm sure they would want to make it more dramatic than Gabriel's death, for instance.

Although, *sniff* poor Gabriel! I always liked the guy - and losing him now when he was just a fun source to play with since S2 is tragic!

Yeah, sometimes I think with all the killing off they actually just lose possible future plot sources, but they're the writers, so whatevs.
