There were a lot of completely useless and/or dropped threads and characters this season. Why did we need Gabriel? He contributed nothing of value to the plot. Castiel's continued presence in the show is mystifying (okay, I know it's because he's popular) because he's been useless for several seasons now. The Heaven drama is neverending and I don't really care about it, but we never got an explanation as to when/why Lucifer decided to abandon Heaven. They brought Ketch back and then we didn't get to see his reunion with Mary and what transpired there, and I for one wanted to see that. Why did they name Anael Jo and Billie's reaper "friend" Jessica? Couldn't they have come up with different names? Did they forget about Jo Harvelle and Jessica Moore? And there were all the WTF moments, like (again) Dean pulling a gun on Kaia, or Jack suddenly remembering Kelly telling him she'd understand if one day he wanted to meet his father or something similar, and no one bothering to tell Jack in detail about some of the things that Lucifer had done, especially to Sam. So much poor writing it boggles the mind.

I could go on and on, sigh. But to end on a more positive note, one more "favorite flash of skin" to me was the bit of Sam's skin we got to see in the finale in that shot from above when he's struggling to get up from the floor after Lucifer zapped him and Jack into that church.

And I know I invaded your LJ out of nowhere, I really hope you don't mind. Your posts bring a lot of happiness to my fangirl heart.
