some thoughts on that one show
Two things I keep meaning to mention and don't.
Everyone joked that Legion was like Supernatural: the movie, and it...kind of was, in a way. But in a terribly produced and executed way. Don't pay money to see it, really. It's terrible. I've read better bad fic of the apocalypse sort. Really. But anyway, there's one thing from the movie that has kinda stuck with me and made me wonder a bit about Castiel and even God's intentions.
The basic plot of Legion is that God ordered the angels to exterminate human kind, okay. But Michael rebels and goes to defendJessCharlie and her baby.
Gabriel of course comes to kill Michael for rebelling against God's orders, and does kill him. But right as Gabriel goes to kill Charlie and the baby, Michael returns. Gabriel of course is flummuxed, and their conversation is as such:
SO. What if Castiel, by severing himself from Zachariah and heaven and choosing to protect Dean Winchester, is actually doing what God needs?
That was a lot of text to explain one little question. Whew.
Point number two:
one of my all-time favorite Whedon quotes ever:
I can't decide if I want this quote to pertain more to Sam or Dean. Because at this point, they're both trying for redemption in some form or another, Sam for the demon blood/lucifer freeing and Dean for torturing in hell.
I like how I can point out quotes that are relevant to me, but I totally fail at expounding on them in a good solid meta-esque way. But just. Food for thought.
Also! This article is an interesting read (at least the part about Angel was):
Spiritual Atheism: Buffy, Angel, House, & Doctor Who.
Happy Thursday!
Also, Happy April Fools. I don't think I can top last year's prank of convincing people my parents had bought me an impala, so I have nothing planned.

Gabriel:
This can't be.
You've disobeyed Him.
Michael:
You gave him what he asked.
I gave him what he needed.

one of my all-time favorite Whedon quotes ever:
Angel: Well, I guess I kinda worked it out. If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters... , then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today. I fought for so long, for redemption, for a reward, and finally just to beat the other guy, but I never got it.
Kate Lockley: And now you do?
Angel: Not all of it. All I wanna do is help. I wanna help because, I don't think people should suffer as they do. Because, if there's no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world.
