Death and Tessa are wonderful because they have no agenda. Like Fate. They're part of the natural order and just doing their jobs.

Yes, this is exactly why I like them so much. They aren't a villain even though they aren't human.

OR because she's the one that turns up for Dean, she looks like how Dean first saw her.

Good option. I wonder if people get assigned a particular reaper, and Tessa has been assigned to Dean.

He was selfish and meddling. And maybe Gabriel was selfish, but he also had Daddy issues and a complex backstory and intentions and overall kept to himself or... he wanted to lay low. Balthazar wanted to have threesomes and get drunk. Gabe wanted to teach people a lesson and eat sweets. And I like Gabe's motives better.

Yes, I think this is my problem with Balthazar too. I mean, once you knew Gabriel's backstory, you felt sympathy for him - but with Balthazar it's hard to feel sympathy for someone who is just eschewing his responsibilities because he wants to have sex and get drunk...and buy human souls for power. Gabriel was mean sometimes, but it was, at the very least, just part of a lesson he was trying to teach the hard way.
