nym_wibblySeason 13 of Supernatural is turning out to be a highlight for me. There hasn't yet been an episode I didn't fully enjoy, which is a first.
They've just revealed Gabriel's survival and given Lucifer unwanted human-style feels while showcasing how far Castiel's come - from 'Aww, the little human I saved from Hell just shot me repeatedly and stabbed me in the heart, I'm keeping it,' at his 4x01 debut to 'Hold still while I mindrape you and destroy your brain in the name of saving the people I love,' in 13x14. Talk about finding his feels.
Of the three, right now I'm more scared of Castiel than either of the archangels, or of the apocalypse-world Michael who I'm assuming is the season's big bad. Castiel's a captivating buddy slash romantic interest cum fish-out-of-water-archetype, but he's a pretty terrifying angelic soldier even when he's fighting alongside Our Heroes. He's suddenly more scary for not deferring to Dean, who's usually able to stop him going badass with a word or a touch. How many angels has Cas killed thus far? Jack seems capable of knocking them all on their asses, though, which is vaguely reassuring. I'm guessing he's the failsafe rather than the ticking time bomb everyone feared he'd be.
Hey, wait, has Gabriel been locked up and tortured all this time? Since season... 5? Yowzah! Is (the boring) Asmodeus that unexpectedly powerful because he's using Gabriel as a vending machine for archangelic grace the way Lucifer is milking Anael? Yikes!
This show isn't big on the 'comfort' but it supplies multiple good characters with epic amounts of 'hurt' for the enterprising fanficcer to play with. One of those moments where I'm glad our telly has shite contrast on dark scenes - is Gabriel's mouth sewn shut?
Angel angst all the way then. Keep it coming.
