Reply To: Let’s all talk about The Third Man (S6 E3)

No wonder I didn’t remember this episode, because it deals with something I started NOT caring about in this episode and continued NOT caring about for the REST OF THE SERIES. The civil war in heaven. WHO CARES????

I mean, it’s kind of interesting as Sam and Dean learn (at breakneck speed in this one) that there are so many conniving players in heaven…that Bathalzar has essentially become an arms dealer to amass the power of human souls…but OH MY GOD DO I NOT CARE ABOUT THE ANGELS!!!!!!!

I loved that they introduced Cas. But I did not love that they also had to bring with him the whole ‘effin’ “world” of heaven.

It WAS funny how Cas was just zapping everywhere. And zapping Sam and Dean everywhere (apparently without any physical effects now!).

I did not like this one

Story too complex.

Too many characters.

Too little to do with Sam and Dean. I care about Sam and Dean. Not everyone else.

It WAS an indicator (another one) that something was off with Sam that he’d be so carelessly dealing with a prostitute who seemed to be offering more and just threw her number away. That’s very not-Sam.

It WAS enjoyable to watch Jensen in this one. He had so many reaction shots to Sam’s behavior that I did enjoy that.

I never even realized that was Sam’s car the angels fell on!

I do like this version of Cas.

But I didn’t need this episode.

I also have a bad attitude because I really did not like the continued lame heaven storylines in later seasons and this feels like the start of that.

The only redeeming value it had for me was Dean trying to figure Sam out. He’s SURE Sam’s not right. And Sam’s playing it off and Dean’s just getting more and more suspicious.
