Supernatural - Hammer of the Gods, S05E19

Although we already knew that other gods existed - Sam (Jared Paralecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have killed a few along the way - it was still some thing of a surprise to see a whole horde of them trying to figure out a way to stop the apocalypse. Apparently Sam's earlier idea to request the Trickster's help was not a bad one.

Normally, I am not a fan of Rekha Sharma's work. Probably because I did not like her character on Battlestar Galactica. I am weary the moment I see her, suspecting her character is working with the aliens on V and other similar untrustworthy behaviours. But I really liked her on Supernatural. That may be because she was Kali, and those kind of behaviours are exactly what is wanted, what is expected from Kali. She was delightfully evil, and strong, and still the tinniest bit vulnerable. I hope we will see her again.

Otherwise, watching Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) so easily murder all the gods, including Odin and Baldur (so I guess that means Ragnarök is in full swing), was appropriately awful. And the final battle between himself and Gabriel (Richard Speight Jr.) nearly drove me to tears. If Lucifer could kill another ArchAngel so very easily, one who continually outwitted Sam and Dean, it is no wonder that the boss match between him and Michael will destroy the planet. What hope our heroes have of stopping him, I can't imagine.

And I am not looking forward to next week if it's going to be the confrontation with Pestilence (Matt Frewer). Much as I like Frewer, the sickness that he was spreading everywhere was just disgusting. Good luck getting close enough to him to get his ring without dying on the spot. SO GROSS!

The only other thing that confused me was the advertisement for GhostFacers in the middle to the episode. What was that about? If it was meant to tell us that there are webisodes that we can now check out, it wasn't particularly clear.

Anyway, excited about Sam and Dean's confrontation with the rest of the Horsemen? Saddened by Gabriel's death? Missing Castiel? Discus below to keep yourselves busy while we wait for the next episode!
