Supernatural : 6x20 : The Man Who Would Be King

[certainthings]

I really and I mean really did not like this episode.

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

I FUCKING HATE CASTIEL SO FUCKING MUCH. And no, not because he was working with Crowley and lied to the poor widdle Winchesters. No, I hate him because he's so fucking useless and lame and that growly voice is for shit. And I hate the way Dean is around him. But more on that later.

I knew based on last week's promo that I probably wasn't going to enjoy this episode because of how it was going to be Castiel-centric. I just didn't realize HOW much I was going to dislike it.

Right.

IMO a lot of what Castiel said and did in this wasn't that different from what Ruby did in previous eps. But of course, Castiel couldn't possibly be lying or anything. Cos, gosh darn it he's their friend. And he's an angel. And therefore he is good and light and made of marsmallow fluff.

Throughout most of the ep, I was swearing at Dean in my head. I'm sure so much of what he said was just a hypocritcal ... something or other* that he said to Sam about Ruby. (* I can't think of words, this is another reason why I'm very bad at Words With Friends)

When Sam said, "I'd die for him." I'm certain my head exploded for a moment before joining back together. Really? No, but like seriously really, Sam would DIE ... Actually, factually LITERALLY DIE for Castiel? I really hope not because with how Castiel's treated Sam in the past and how, I dunno ... he let SAM OUT so he could kill Lilith and get the Lamepocalypse ball rolling and then get all the blame for it, I think that Castiel would sell Sam's organs to pay for a wing washing.

And Dean saying that Castiel is like a brother to him? STFU.

Oh, uhm. I like Sam. And I enjoyed Crowley. Bobby was all right. Demon!NotReallyBobby looked like he could have been fun. <-- I feel I should point out something I liked.

I think that if Ruby hadn't existed perhaps I wouldn't have hated this episode so much. But she did. And therefore, I did.

Or maybe if ghost!Ruby had shown up and been all, "What the fuck? He's doing the exact same thing(s) I did and I was a 'bitch' and a 'demon who couldn't be trusted' but you still trust him and get all big fat weepy little girl? The hell is wrong with you?" And maybe Dean would say, "And look it how it all ended ... Bitch." Then Ruby would glare at him and say, "How stupid are you?" before disappearing and then MAYBE a light bulb would go off in Dean's head.

Maybe if that had happened, I wouldn't have hated this ep as much as I did. But it didn't. So I did.

I can see your point of view on the whole Castiel thing. I just think that since he's a bloody angel he should know what is right, wrong, bad and good. And know that what he is doing is wrong. :shrugs: I dunno.

and can't believe that Castiel would ever, ever do this when like you said, the potential has been there since he LET SAM OUT OF THE PANIC ROOM.

That, plus Castiel didn't get Dean out of hell until AFTER he had broken the first seal so Castiel's been on the Lamepocalypse Train this whole time. I sincerely hope he's up to no good. I want to find out that he's the one who kidnapped God and that he's trying to take out Raphael so that he can be The Ruler of Heaven. And that he wants Crowley to be Ruler of Hell. And then together they'll play chess with the souls. And those that they're not sure of, well they'll dangle in Purgatory.

Pfft, like this show would be that awesome. Hell, I'm shocked that they thought to make him have all these secrets in the first place.

And now you've made me think of Castiel/Crowley. No WONDER they're working together.
