Supernatural: Men and Angels...

[fajrdrako]

Once again I spent the evening watching Supernatural with explodedteabag. I'm enjoying it immensely, despite having to close my eyes occasionally for the gore. I'm still particularly enjoying the bits where Castiel appears....

And by a delightful though eerie chance, as I was watching episode 4x10, "Heaven and Hell", I got a phone call from a friend to tell me about the book she was reading about Angels. She knew nothing about Supernatural, not even that the show exists, let alone that I was watching it. I almost asked her if the book had anything about Castiel in it, but I suspect not. As angels go, he's fairly obscure.

This show is so reminding me of some comics I love. Misha Collins even has the John Constantine stance down pat. And the gaze. And the rumpled coat. explodedteabag wants to know: how can you get your trench coat that rumpled in heaven?

I'm also starting to like Sam and Dean, not just for their clever dialogue, but as individuals.

Coming in at S4, you're definitely hitting the character development in a weird place. One of the things I've loved about SPN is the way the boys have been allowed to grow and develop while staying absolutely themselves. They creep under your skin before you know it, definitely.

Various people did research about Castiel when he first appeared, but no one could really find anything. Which suits me just fine, because watching him is more than enough :)

Have I? I am thankful to have explodedteabag to tell me what's been going on in the plot, though she hasn't seen all the episodes. But it's fun to guess and pick up the story as I go, too.

I think Castiel is one of those angels who is known as a name, but isn't featured in the stories of angels. Which makes him a blank slate - they can do practically anything with him.
