As a whole, I think the season has taken some interesting turns and explored (or tried to) some interesting things. Killing or writing off the female characters is a long and time honored tradition on the show, so I don't think Sera is catering to anyone in particular, at least not anymore than they have since the first half of the series.

And I'm reciting my PAL mantra--Previews Always Lie. What they showed us of Lisa could be totally misleading. Though it makes me more than a little nervous.

I've kind of given up on the whole angel thing. At the rate they're going, Castiel is the only character I'll ever like as an angel, and his moral dilemma is interesting from a believing standpoint, even if it is crazy-making from an belief-in-angels standpoint.

I'm afraid, though, that with Izhilzha and Kalquessa both gone from the fandom, there's no one left to talk me off the ledge come season cliffhanger. It's a lonely feeling.
