Much as I love the boys, and I really really do, I'm tired of them being the only force for good.
Oh, honey. I totally get what you're saying. I was ecstatic when Cas showed up at the beginning of last season because for ages I'd wanted there to be a supernatural force for Good. I started feeling it especially keenly when Ruby (1.0) told Dean about becoming a demon. After my original WT????? moment I was just so frustrated and tired of the boys having to fight all this supernatural Evil by themselves. All this supernatural Evil and there was no supernatural Good? Sorry Kripke. Thanks for playing, but try again.
Then Cas showed up and just . . . wow. (Don't know if you've read my reviews from last year, but I expound on my Cas love in a couple of them.)
I totally get that the writers want the boys to be the story's primary force for Good. It's their story, right? The story of Sam and Dean. But I am so totally with you on your comment.
I don't want Joshua to be lying so much as be mistaken or having misinterpreted what God said. I don't want him to be just another manipulative angel. And I definitely want to see Gabe again siding with Team Free Will. (Making the Trickster be Gabriel is another issue I have, but I've calmed down a wee bit since hearing Richard talk about it.) And yes, I want them to give me a satisfying pay-off to everything they've done so far, and that includes making God awesome.
At this point, though, I'm not sure how much I trust them. I'm resigned rather than hopeful right now (kinda like Dean?), but I'd love to be proven wrong.
