#latestepisode

Okay guys.

I have not seen any new episodes of season 13 (I can't, because I have to pay for the episodes on my TV, and all the streaming sites suck.)

However, I have been keeping up with the buzz over these past few months, and just yesterday I found out that Gabriel, our favorite Trickster, is still alive.

And, I am really conflicted over this.

I love Gabriel a lot. He was one of the most interesting characters to me, and despite him not being present all that much, I still liked his character. He was clever and witty, and liked to be a foil for the Winchesters. The funny asshole type of character. And when he died in season 6, I was very sad. I know his Arc basically ended, but I still wanted there to be more with him. I don't know, I was hoping that he could become friends with the brothers (but then again, none of the conflicts in the future seasons would've ever happened.)

The fact he's magically alive after so long only brings on a whole mess of questions.

-How is he alive?

-How did Asmodeus manage to capture an archangel?

-What has he been doing this whole time?

-If the blade that Lucifer used to kill Gabriel wasn't an actual archangel blade, wouldn't Lucifer have instantly noticed?

-Even if we can assume that Lucifer didn't know, how could he have not detected that his brother was just tricking him again?

-If Gabriel actually did die, how did he get out of the Empty?

And so much more...

Look guys, I'm not gonna beat around the bush anymore. Bringing Gabriel back was obviously a season McGuffin they are using, and it was a call to the fandom. Why the hell else would they bring back Gabriel, but not Raphael? Oh yeah, because the fandom liked Gabe more.

I seriously hope the writers know what they are doing, and put in a damn good explanation as to how Gabriel is back, and how Asmodeus managed to capture him. This wouldn't certainly be the first time the writers pulled a plot McGuffin out of their asses *looks at season 12*

Look, I am happy that Gabriel is alive. Ecstatic, even. But I seriously hope the writers actually know what they are doing.

Best episode and best arc so far!! Yor and Loid may be some world-class assassin and spy respectively, but it's any whose smartness helped save the day!
