Am I the only one who really didn't like that at all? The plot was Good Omens Lite, but not as cool (whereas "Good God, Y'All" was, I dunno, Good Omens Raspberry Flavor or something—derivative but still fun). They clearly did not know what to do with Castiel at all, which I find ridiculous, as I can think of many, MANY things to do with Castiel. (Some of them are even appropriate for television!) And you know, I don't think they really knew what to do with Dean, either, except use him as comic relief. I had similar problems with "After School Special" last year—same writers, and while I think they do give good Sam, I feel a disconnect with the way they write Dean. The LOLs are there, but it's a very shallow portrayal, and coupled with the TOTAL WASTE OF CASTIEL, COME ON YOU GUYS, AFTER NOTHING LAST WEEK, REALLY? I just...bleh.

Also, even though he was clearly, clearly lying, and with good reason, when Dean said Cas wasn't his friend, I kind of felt like I'd been stabbed in the heart. I've had some tequila though, so maybe later we can blame this on my being a weepy drunk.

I should go to bed, and in the morning write some porn to make myself feel better. *nods*

They better have at least sent Gaiman and Pratchett a fruit basket, that's all I'm saying.

I think I would have enjoyed that joke a lot—in the context of a different episode. Too much was making me cranky here for me to really appreciate it. Maybe I can just rewatch selected scenes at some future point?
