11.23 Episode poll: "Alpha and Omega"



[Poll #2046231]

Speculation about S12 is welcome. Actual knowledge (or things that you don't know for sure if they're real, such as things said at cons) of plots, guest stars, episode titles, etc., is spoilery, so please don't post it here. Thanks!!!

I wasn't fond of this episode. The Amara ending was probably good by there simply wasn't enough build up to her sudden heel turn from "I want to destroy the world" and "She destroyed every universe I created" to showing her be sad about the world dying. I mean, she'd destroyed worlds before, why is this one different.

I could have done with far less Toni, aka Posh British Lady, time. I guess they want us to start out seeing her as human. She loves her son! She's nice to the help! But I would have rather had Sam or Cas talk to God instead of her.

I loathed the forgiveness of Cas by Dean. Mostly because Sam is still getting hammered for releasing Lucifer way back in season 4 when all he was doing was trying to keep him caged. Plus what Cas did was stupid and didn't really help. I'm sure Dean thought they were all going to die and didn't want Cas to die feeling guilty, but he's never let go of Sam's betrayals, so why Cas gets a pass I have no clue.

I hope Mary sees both Dean AND Sam, but I'm expecting lots of Dean bonding time while Sam is off being tortured, questioned, held by the English MOL and he will be released in time to wave to Mary as she ascends to heaven. Because that's the way it always goes for Sam.

I do wish that God had released Michael and Adam before he took off for vacation. I may not care tons about either of them, but they took a hit trying to fulfill what Michael thought God wanted and even if he wasn't God's favorite son, leaving him and Adam trapped in a Cage in Hell is pretty awful. God could have at least let them out and told the angels to take care of them or laid down some Godly healing then sent them on their way to heaven. They didn't have to show it, just have God say "I've free Michael and Adam the will be at peace in heaven". Sadly I think his not doing that means we will get more angel politics in the coming seasons.

I also a little surprised that the angels find out God is alive and none of them show any interest in saying howdy. They could have said the angels wanted to see their father and have God refuse, but just not caring seems odd.

Augh! How did I forget to put Adam and Michael in the poll?? I forgot them just like Chuck did. :-(
