What I love most is how they're portrayed as how they're perceived in the Bible and not how our culture as shaped them to be. They're warriors of God, they're ruthless and will smite first and ask questions later. I also love the psychology of angels too, from the conflicts Castiel is dealing with between obedience and doing the right thing or even how some angels are just assholes and sociopaths. The culture of the angels fascinates me like no other.
I even started really researching hardcore on the subject, I bought an encyclopedia of angels book and I'm going to be ordering an Enochian dictionary soon. :)
they're rude and really unlikable and seem to be only there to make the audience (and Dean) more confused and irritated than anything else
Yeah, it's like you want to make them interesting? Should have constructed them better. I think I would have preferred if they had just Grandpa Campbell in the premiere and have the others introduced later, but no. Obviously Sera Gamble doesn't think when she writes sometimes, or try to structure an episode with an understandable sense of direction. :/ I still don't get them, like I have theories (wasn't it said that all of Mary's relatives/close friends had died? so they're all risen from the dead too? idgi) I mean I know it's only been three episodes, but there's a difference between having something be a mystery and wanting to keep us interested and just introducing it like it's no big deal and just leave it like that.
That's what's missing, I think. I keep going back to the S4 premiere because that is a perfect example of not giving anything away but still keeping the mystery to leave us intrigued. Was Castiel really an angel? What is going on? What is this plan they're talking about? Etc. I got nothing like that regarding the Campbells, or anything else in that premiere. Just confusion and irritation.
