The constant sacrificing of other characters in the name of the Winchesters is actually starting to color the way I look at them. I mean they sit back without any real fear of dying, while everyone arounds them sacrifices themselves over and over to try to help. It's really starting to bug.
Exactly. Especially in the beginning of this episode they were all, "we'll eventually find Cas" UM DUDES YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM HE MIGHT BE DEAD FOR ALL YOU KNOW (we know he's not really but they don't know that) YOU SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR FRIEND WHO RISKED EVERYTHING RATHER THAN THINKING "OH HAY LUXURY HOTEL VACATION!" This is one of my major gripes about the show, like sometimes when something big happens in an episode they hardly touch on it seriously in the next, at least not in a consistent wave of continuity of it. It's definitely hugely part of the writing honestly, like some of the writers get it, get the character developments with the story, while others do not.
We know that they should be taking this seriously, but from the way the episodes are written and spread it this season it makes it appear like they care sometimes, but not all the time. Or they mention it but don't do anything about it. Then we have characters who sacrifice everything and the brothers just don't do anything, and that rubs me the wrong way. I wouldn't have minded it if it happened a few times, but it happens every single time and that's starting to really irritate me.
Instead, it makes it look like they killed him off for the drama of killing him off and in a nonsensical way, especially considering how smart and manipulative this character has shown himself to be.
SERIOUSLY! I mean, perhaps Gabriel knew that he wasn't going to survive this and he just needed this last moment to just talk with his brother, but come on. Gabriel was definitely a mastermind in all of his trickery, he could have figured out some other alternative to both play Lucifer and save the boys along with himself, thus having another ally on Team Free Will. But maybe he knew that Lucifer was smarter? That his big brother would see right through Gabriel's facade? I don't know.
I mean, I loved their scene together. I really did, so emotional and effective and perfect and brilliant. But Gabriel being offed like that was so unexpected and shocking, I still don't know how to properly react.
Kripke stepping down from the helm of the show has me nervous, I don't even want to think about fates of other characters or the direction of the show since I don't want to be sourly disappointed. (I know no spoilers, just feeling apprehensive with everything that's been right now.....)
