Guys, guys!! This episode was really really awesome!
I was expecting it to be somewhat fillerish, and I was willing to be ok with that because we've had plot-related episodes going on for a while now. Right now I LOVE the preview makers for not giving everything away like some shows do. This episode had a little bit of everything, from Archangels to Lucifer to a very "American Gods" style summit. And... Ghostfacers? Did anyone else think that was a very strangely placed commercial? I thought it was part of the ep somehow and kept waiting for them to show up somehow.
But anyway. First off, the gods: I loved that whole multi-lingual verbal sparring match between Odin and... the elephant guy (I forget his name). And then LUCIFER showed up, and he just slaughtered them! Which I've got to admit was kind of cool despite it being LUCIFER who did it.
Poor Gabriel. I really love how his character developed over the seasons, from being a funny annoyance early on to "helping" Sam out in Mystery Spot to being an outcast archangel and then sacrificing himself to face down the Devil himself. And Lucifer actually looked legitimately sad to have killed him, with no one there and no reason to be putting on an act. It almost made me feel badish for him. ...Except that he'd just killed his brother. And called my entire race cockroaches.
How cool is it that they have a plan now? A legitimate plan. Which sounds far more possible than actually killing the Devil. I mean, I don't know how they can possibly trick Lucifer into doing anything, much less meandering back into his cell, but it's much better than "we'll figure something out."
Oh, and Pestilence made me gag.
I'm so psyched for the next episode!! Sam's meeting Jess was a set-up? ?? And who is this random guy who appears to be admitting to having killed her? YED killed her! It must be a trick of some kind to get a rise out of Sam.
