Random tangent--my brain went in a weird 'Metatron-in-Claire-Novak' direction when he offered to get a new face. Which is weird and horrible and wrong and would go very bad very quickly but...part of me thinks it would be interesting, and raise old plot points that I'd like to see revisited. Especially when this episode at least vaguely dealt with vessels.
Oh man, that's super disturbing.
I don't think that Metatron is trying to stop the faction fighting, so much as get it under control/all under his banner. Which probably was how Michael kept things stable in Heaven before the aborted apocalypse? IDK.
Yes. Exactly. I obviously didn't word whatever I said about this right. Because that is what I meant.
I have to admit, I was expecting something totally different and implausible behind that door, based on the fairly widespread theory that Metatron has Gabriel as his prisoner that started cropping up after Meta Fiction that I am particularly attached to..
Interesting! I had none of these thoughts... I just thought it'd be some sort of trap for Cas that would separate him from Sam or something...
but, with regard to a regular angel blade working on Metatron, I'm not sure it would. Metatron has seriously leveled up, in that even holy fire can't contain him anymore, so I'm not sure an angel blade would work.
Oh, good point. I didn't even think of that.
Poor Gadreel...if only he'd found sympathy from someone who knew everything about him and wasn't Metatron...
Yeah, I feel like this whole season has been one giant lesson in "this is why you need to tell people things"... because I feel if Gadreel had just been completely honest with Dean from the jump, that all this could have been avoided. Well, "all this" except Sam being unwillingly possessed by an angel.
Basically, except for everything directly involving Tessa, I liked this episode. We'll see how next week goes...
