THIS is TAKEN FROM another website Not my Own thoughts

If you have not seen tonight's mid-season finale, then well you're about to get some spoilers. Ahoy, Maties.

Brief recap: This mid-season finale begins with an angel fight between a group of Jesus Glee angel girls and biker angel boys. The girls win. This scene sets up the "war" between Bartholomew's group and other angels throughout the episode. The first scene we see of Sam and Dean is in the Impala. Dean and Zeke are talking about the angel healing Sam and after he tells Dean he has to stay longer, Sam reappears and notes his missing time. Dean lies by claiming not to lie. The rest of the episode cuts between three stories.

1. The War of the Angels - The Biker Angels and Glee Club Angels are all part of this overly complicated storyline about getting back to heaven and it involves torture and cardigans and torture. But it's really all about defeating Metatron and wearing good cardigan. Castiel, who was so cute as Steve and in the beginning of this episode, calls out for angels (because having them hunt him and not find him was way too simple) and a woman shows up, Muriel. Muriel will die, as we know. Cas gets tortured (yay for male torture!) and then sweet talks his way into a truce, but BAM, sucks the grace from biker angel like he's been practicing that skill on his off time from the Gas-n-Sip. (Don't ask. Don't tell.) Now Castiel has stolen angel juice in him. This should be fun.

2. Metatron, the most evil of characters ever and his handy-dandy sidekick, GADREEL - I don't want to say I told you so, but I'm gonna say it. ZEKE WAS BAD. Believe me now? Gadreel, for those not familiar with biblical history, was the guardian of the garden and let the serpent in. You know, the serpent who seduced EVE? Yeah, so Dean is Eve and who the heck knows who Adam is...Anyway, Metatron's all like "Get with my crew, Gad" and Gad is all like, "I know I done bad but I want back into the light." Metatron's all like, "Cool beans but you got to kill someone before you can join the gang, dude." Gad's all 19 year old wannabe gangster and like, "Sure, who do I need to ice?" Metatron's like, "Here's a card, do this one." Then the best secondary character since Bobby Singer and Rufus (RIP, my love) was KILLED FOR NO REASON EXCEPT THAT JEREMY CARVER IS THE DEVIL. I hope you weren't expecting a neutral recap because yeah, not happening.

3. Dean and Sam and Gadreel and the most obvious recreation of the Garden of Eden EVER - So Dean is seduced by Gadreel? Yeah? Sam is no longer in charge? Yeah? Okay, so Gadreel, in his quest to be in the Metatron gang , comes back to the bunker. While he's been out, Dean found out from newly stolen angel graced Castiel that Ezekiel is DEAD (And note here, Bookdal was right again about Zeke). Oh noes! So Dean conspires with Kevin to expel the "who knows who the hell this angel is" angel. Kevin helps, as he always does, and just so you know, I will hate you forever for killing him, show. I mean it's up there with Rufus. And I'm still bitter about Rufus. I curse Gamble every night.

Anyway, Dean takes Sam into a room that's been locked down with sigils and tells "Sam" about the possession. "Sam" is very mad. Sam berates Dean. Sam does not like Dean. Cut to the bunker and "Sam" goes up to Kevin and KILLS HIM AND TAKES HIS EYES OUT AND KILLS HIM. Then "Sam" reveals that he's been "Gadreel" for quite the time and we have no idea how long SAM'S BEEN HELD HOSTAGE IN HIS OWN BODY.

*Bookdal takes a moment and drinks her wine*

So Dean realizes what he's wrought as Gadreel leaves the dead Kevin and the dead inside Dean behind. And of course, we get the Ackles single tear of grief as he looks at the DEAD KEVIN. Cut to the names of the DEVILS (Executive Producers: Bob Singer and Jeremy Carver.)

Things I liked:

1. Castiel and his go get em attitude before the angel juice stealing.

2. Metatron is always good for amusement. I like Curtis.

3. Kevin's willingness to help the brothers who get everyone killed(Although they never wanna be the vessel of death).

4. Although I read it as a retcon, the angel juice stealing was fun.

5. Ackles's single man tear because it makes me happy.

Things I didn't like:

1. On a serious note, the fact that this show has spent almost two seasons erasing the character of Sam Winchester makes me so angry that I can't talk about it without cursing.

2. How do you steal grace and why didn't you do that before CASTIEL?

3. Not gonna discuss Dean because it's not worth the wank, but yeah, I have issues with some character developments.

4. Angel war is too complicated and makes no sense. It's too confusing for me. Perhaps I need to watch again.

5. Kevin DYING. Carver is the devil. He's the devil. Singer is the devil. They've combined to make a devil stew of evilness. If the site would allow it, I'd insert various gifs of devils for further explanation.

Theories and questions for hiatus:

1. Now that we know Gadreel is the seducer of Eves and Deans, we got to get Sam out so how will that happen? Spoilers point to an unholy alliance.

2. Where's Abaddon during this war? If I were her, I'd be recruiting me some pissed off angels.

3. I like the brother co-dependency but I have fears that we are being shown that Dean needs to let go. And I don't like it.

4. Who's gonna be the new prophet? Do we get one? Will Chuck return? We need someone to translate the tablets, people!!! (I really hope Mama Tran did die now because I want to believe that she and Kevin are in heaven reading AP test manuals together.)

5. Now that Castiel up and hi-jacked an angel's grace, what happens? I mean he's already on the run. He's like the fugitive of heaven.

6. How will Sam finally react? If he forgives Dean easily, then yeah we're going to discuss consent issues again, show.

7. What's up with Bartholomew? I really need clarification on the angel war. I really need it.

Please share your feelings, thoughts, and speculations below. And I apologize for the hyperbolic reaction, but Kevin died and I'm not dead inside, so you get the initial expulsion of those feelings. Think of it as me expelling a bad angel or a really bad burrito.


P.S (from TM) R.I.P Kevin 😭 His death was so so Unnecessary😡
I dunno to say the Mid season hellatus will be less painful or not.
Finally one OPT after a long long time from Our Jensen 😳
To be Honest I don't digress in saying that show is getting interesting as I expected there will be more heart breaks after a series of filler happy so to say episodes..
But am not sure for how long Can i keep up with the show if it goes down the Character decimation road in break neck speed...
I am in 2 minds on one hand My loyalty towards the show TFW which expects me to watch till the end ( which till now my mind never questioned) on the other hand the constant fall of quality of the very same thing which makes the show tick

So keep watching and try to enjoy the Mid season Hellatus if you can 😉
January 14th come already 😳 I wanna know How Sam's gonna take it all 😲
To me only TEAM FREE WILL matters the most .. PERIOD the rest all excepting a few (Bobby , Charlie, Kevin) can go to hell as well 🤪

Metatron wrote the tablets. Kevin is/was a kind of Prophet who could read tablets. Besides "God's Words" Metatron also wrote his own "comments" into the main text of tablets. Kevin could read those too. Metatron didn't want Kevin neither translate the User manual of Angels, nor his own (Metatron's) dirty notes. So Kevin must die. As reasonable as that. As simple as that.

I don't think Zeke (or whatever nickname Dean would make of Gadreel) is bad. I mean, I don't think he is really bad. So far, he seems to be just another angel who does wrong things for the right reasons - once failed miserably, hopes to fix everything desperately, making the things worse before making them better.

I guess, Zeke's breaking bad was needed in order to bring Cas back to the gang. 1 1/2 good angels on Winchesters' shoulders was too much luxury. Now one is gone, another one is kinda restored and it could go on as remake of season 6 - Dean and Cas will struggle to find who's possesing Sam and how to bring the lost brother back, again. Meanwhile Cas will be doing his best and worst in angelic civil war (just this time on Earth, not in Heaven), eating graces of his enemies from time time to rechage his batteries 😆

Again I guess, for some time Zeke will be doing "certain regrettable things" under Metatron's command, but then his true good nature will eventually win and he either join the Team Freewill or if his crimes will be too heavy he'll sacrifice himself for its cause.

Firstly, this review isn't written by laxmi_3004. It is another writer's review which posted here. And I don't think the original writer didn't understand the context of Kevin's death. She said it merely to express the sentiment of all the fandom at the moment because a beloved character's death is always seen as a 'devilish' act. More so because this came in a really unexpected and shocking way.
