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!

Heh, back when Show was going to end with season five, I was pretty convinced that they were going to kill off Sam and Dean in a blaze of glory, and that Bobby was going to be the last one standing, the only one left who would know the whole truth. Then Chuck kinda took on that possible role (the chronicler) and now we're getting a sixth season... so now imagine Bobby dying to play the usual "student grows out of needing teacher" trope, leaving his house and all the books in it to Sam and Dean, and next season the two of them have a home base from which they launch their adventures. Ta daa!

You know, as long as they don't kill off Castiel I'm game. Sorry Bobby, but the mentor role gets axed sooner or later, and we've loved you well and always will.

Yes, but then the mentor reappears in a Gandalf, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Dumbledore like manner when the student needs more guidance. Ghost!Bobby?

Haha! I thought people would pounce on me for suggesting Bobby might die... I love it when my gut feeling is shared by flisties. \o/

I guessing this season will be getting the last of the four rings and next season will be sticking Lucifer back in his box.
