My Love of Supernatural

Dear Eric Kripke,
I think I'm in love with you. Not just as friends.
You decided to title the second episode of Supernatural's fourth season "Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester", a title so perfect, I guffawed for a few minutes. Furthemore, it's an episode featuring heavy Dean and Bobby drama? And two of my favorite recurring antagonists of seasons past (Meg and Agent Henrikson)? **** yes.
And then, the kicker. The revelation that we'll soon be seeing examples of the demons' behalo'd counterparts. And it'll be Castiel (clearly representing Cassiel) and Uriel, Castiel the ambivalent watcher of humanity and Uriel the Fire of God who testified on behalf of humanity before God when the nephilim were terrorizing humanity (along with the Fallen Watcher Azazel - woot, real-world connections to canon characters). Only Supernatural's angels aren't into salvation and divine warmth, they've been watching humanity **** up for millennia and they're bitter about it. Rumor has it that Uriel has it in for mankind, and he wants to start with the Winchesters.
That's ****ing Amazing.
I love when shows in this vein dip into the angel mythology well, even moreso when they represent angels with a bit more edge. And Mr. Kripke, I have fallen in love with you for it.
Love and Kisses,
Michael (not the archangel, though)
