A few things about 903

[citrusjava]

Becoming human turns you into a heterosexual.

We know that some angels are sexual. Or, at least, Balthazar was. So it's not that angels just aren't sexual. Cas (maybe) wasn't. So why now? Is it a different experience of sexuality, is angel and human sexuality different? Was it different for Balthazar, or was he never actually sexual but did (or didn't) have sex for other reasons? Has the change in Cas' life made sex something he'd need or want, made it worth it for some reason even if he hasn't changed?

Not Misha's first time rocking the homeless sex appeal, by the way.

I said it when Dean and Cas trusted Ezekiel based on a name and not on recognition, and I'm saying it still - whoever is in Sam is not Ezekiel.

I take it wardrobe's been struggling with how to dress Cas, now that he's coatless, and has been settling it the only way they all agree on - shirtless. I can live with that.

Dean lied. He does that. *Tips hat at everyone from last episode's discussion*.

Oh, dear. I though they were at Denton rather than Dayton. Two young, ordinary, healthy kids, leaving Denton that late October evening, to visit a Dr. Everett Scott, ex-tutor, and now friend to both..

That was badly written.

ETA: I gotta run, but hey, I was kidding about the heterosexuality... pansexual here *waves*, I wouldn't have said that seriously... But please do keep talking about Cas not being straight, cause of the happies...

ETA: Oh! Another thing! When Cas died, did he go to heaven? Is that, perhaps, a way in for the angels? Tear out their grace, then die, then kick Metatron's ass, get resurrected, put the grace back in?

And the switches between Sam and Zeke would have been creepier and more interesting, and more fic material, had they not gone with the blue light, had it only been Jared's acting there.

YES. The world needs more shirtless Cas. UNF.

I'm just blown away by how vulnerable Misha is playing human!Cas. Even between 9.01 and now, he seems to have lost of lot of his, self assurance/cockyness? Very well acted.

Even though there were some dumb writing glitches - visible reapers (or is that a thing for rogue reapers, they lose some of thier powers?), and them dragging Cas all the way back to the bunker before Ezekiel demanded Dean kick him out, I was happy to see the return, for the most part, of the smart!chesters. They very efficiently hunted Cas down and got tactical info on the enemy on the way. It was really cool to see the brothers working as a team. :) (except, y'know, the part where Dean gave up and begged for Zeke's help)

So, pretty good so far, I'm happy right now.

Misha is lovely. And I love how vulnerable men are in this show, it's really one o my favorite things about it.

Heh, good point!

I didn't mind this and the reaper retcon as much, but the dialogue, the character depth, the flow... didn't so much work for me. But I don't appreciate most of the episodes written by this ep's writer's, so

Aww, you're right! Yay!

The scene in which they grabbed the reaper, I was thinking - ugh, they seriously haven't noticed yet? And not-believable dialogue and acting - hich breaks my heart a little- - and then yay, there was a reason for that!
But I didn't think as far as it being smart!chesters working together! <3 YAY!

I was actually pretty okay with this ep, given the writers, but as someone said somewhere, a lot of that is because of the stellar acting jobs our boys do. :)

Yay boys!
I'm really glad you liked the ep, yay you, too!
I liked parts of it as well.
