(This response may or may not seem confusing as I am terrible with putting any coherent thought into words)

I'm seriously wondering what's going on with J2M. These men know their characters inside and out - how their brains work, what it's like to be in their shoes. They may not have lost their mothers to some fire, fathers who became obsessed with the idea of revenge, etc., but since both Jensen and Jared have portrayed the brothers for 9 seasons, and Misha has portrayed Castiel for 6 seasons already - wouldn't they know if there was some regression in their character's part? But nonetheless, I appreciate their acting - of making the characters seem believable when the whole script screams "Out of Character!"

Personally, I think the episode was crap, and that there were only a few scenes of continuity. I know they are trying to prove that episodes w/o continuity are awesome and all, but it's a waste of their resources and the time of their fans. I do not like Buckner and Ross-Leming not because of 9.03 or the racist and sexist episodes; I dislike them because they literally say "Screw you" to the past episodes and seasons as if it didn't matter. Not only have they killed off female characters or sterotyped them as "the ones men are supposed to commit the act of sex with" but they have literally forgotten about the work previous writers and executives have made to make the fantasy world seem very realistic for the sake of their own episodes. I hated them for 9.03 because of April - and the 'she was hot' thing because not only are they saying that Cas just liked the girl for her body, but they have completely ignored that that Reaper had a vessel, and that vessel probably didn't consent to the sex and therefore, could be seen as rape on the Real April's part - and for the really quick scenes that they were supposed to make seem realistic and were literally the core of the whole episode.

Considering how  most of the characters we percieve as part of the Winchester Family have come back to life because of an angel, then they would probably bring Kevin back via Gabriel, as they had promised to bring Richard Speight Jr. back. But that's the thing - if he's important enough to be brought back again, then why kill him in the first place? And why was it so quick? Was it to prove the fact that the Winchester can save the day alone and with little help from others? Or was it to make Dean feel alone and alienated now that Gadreel's riding his brother's ass to who knows where?

Even if Dean is without Sam, he is still not quite alone - he has the Former King of Hell in their dungeon who can give him enough information if he pushed the right buttons, he has a fallen angel who every angel feared at his disposal and will answer his call the moment Dean tells him Sam is in danger (it doesn't really matter which brother is in trouble, as he cares greatly for both) and the affair about Gadreel.

I also find it stupid how Castiel had literally pulled the grace out of an idiotic angel who was too homesick to even think about the different outcomes of what Castiel was doing. Because why didn't he do it earlier? To him, the lowest thing he could ever become was an angel without his grace. He had hit his rock bottom in Season 5, Season 7, and in Season 8. He had had so many opportunities to rip their graces out since 9.01, so why now? Maybe it is because he still cared for his brothers and sisters back then, and that this was the last straw. Either way, Buckner and Ross-Leming just made a whole subplot seem useless.

I liked the idea of Muriel - staying neutral and not choosing any sides. Because she's kind of like a reminder that in times of war, there are also people who do not choose any sides because in the end, neither side would really win. History only acknowledges the side that lost a whole lot less than their opponent. Killing her was stupid - because seriously, dude, no.

You have enough trouble fending off the enemies - do you really have time and energy to waste on your own brethren who can help you against the true enemy?

Gadreel wasn't really wise in accepting Metatron's deal - he did know that this was the same angel who had tricked Castiel into becoming an unwitting accomplice and casting all the angels out of Heaven, right? I mean, sure, Metatron knew the right buttons to push, but I think the writers should make Gadreel a bit cautious around the Scribe and be a bit distrusting. Who's to say the Scribe would use him for his own gain like he did with Cas?

"No more stupid angels" is what I've been muttering since, what, 9.01? I love love Castiel and all but he's like a horny teenager who can't keep it in his pants and just follows whoever gives him booze and weed and doesn't really know the basic things in this season. My God, they have dumbed him down to the point where he doesn't even know how to pray, when all you needed to do was go on Netflix and watch 6.20 to see how he spent 40 minutes praying to a father he knew didn't give a damn on what was going on.

With the female angels vs. male angels thing in the beginning of the episode, I also found this sexist. Are you saying women are stronger? Dear writers, are you trying to imply that there must always be a specific gender that is superior than the other? No, dear writers, both genders are equal. I am a female and I have not forgetten the 'men are stronger and more badass than women' these two writers have done, but this was just plain stupid because damn, son, enough with the 'one gender must always be superior'.

Back then, whenever Dean shed that single tear, I would be crying because this character was in pain. This character was lost. This character was going through major crap. Now, everytime he cries, I just sigh and think he got what was coming to him because it is the result of someone who he trusted betraying him. It was going to bite him in the butt sooner and later. And it's so frequent nowadays it's actually annoying. I know this season should make Dean develop into a more realistic person, but I'm pretty sure no one breaks down every other day simply because they were too dim to see anything.

Ever since Season 5, everything went wrong for me. I got past Season 6 because of Sam's really sarcastic lines and the great threat Eve posed. I got past Season 7 because of the development in the three major characters and the potentially awesome new characters (Charlie and Kevin). Season 8 was because of not only character development, but the development in their relationships with each other, not only the DeanCas that I enjoyed very much as it gave me a whole new light to something I'd defend.

Perhaps they are doing this for the sake of new viewers, of new fans and all, but do not forget to acknowledge the other side, the ones who have supported you since 2005 to the point of defending you when non-viewers had looked and pointed out your crap. Because, yes, even though what you write is awesome and can bring in more viewers, they wouldn't even bother to watch had they not been encouraged by the ones who have stuck with you since Mary died burning on that ceiling. They make a big part of the ratings you get. This is not blackmail, or bribery, but this is a reminder that even though you cannot please both sides, you should at least try.

The writers have angered half of the fandom when they have called that specific part delusional for having over-romanticized the relationsip of Dean and Castiel for the sake of slash fiction (I myself included), when they have made a bestiality joke (apparently it's more realistic for a man to check a poodle out whilst in a dog-like behavior than the possibility of a man with a man according to my dash), when they have said this part of the fandom should 'calm down' as it was a tv show and nothing real or something worth getting attached to. But they have angered the fandom as a whole because of their failed continuity, the burning of canon lore, character regression, plot holes, and the seriously unnecessary thing where they kill them off quick.

This hurts the fans a whole lot stronger than the names they are called in real life because you - and the show - are a whole lot closer to them than those bullies are. You helped create a world that provided them solace and comfort, a world they could turn to when society shuts them out. You taught them lots of things.

Seeing the world you loved and cherished slowly burn down to ashes is far more painful than being told you were crazy for putting all your faith in people who aren't even real.

I am not just angry about the episode or the season. I am angry because of how they are treating this show like it's some joke and nothing you should ever take seriously because the  "Haha, the fans would totally buy it, anyways since it's just a show and nothing personal" thing they've done since season 6 is just plain infuriating.

This season, to me anyways, is an insult to Kripke, who thought of this series and had enough courage to bring it to life, to the writers and producers who tried to magnify Kripke's idea, to the actors who made it seem so damn realistic, and to the fans who had devoted a part of their lives for this show. Basically, it's an insult to the whole show.

I am just hoping things would get better after the break, and that Supernatural would be that supernatural show we all love, and will love.

I'm just hoping that the characters would be fine again, the plot holes wouldn't bite them in the butt, and a whole other things I could list down.
