Supernatural!
You know what would have made this episode awesome? If the future world had, in fact, been an elaborate illusion. Actually, you know what? I'm going to proceed as though it was. Maybe Z was feeling a little creative this week, decided to try a route other than stage four cancer.
I'm so much happier now that I believe that, because now I don't have to try and figure out the ridiculous plot holes, contrivances, and "oh well just because that's why"s that permeated the plot. I don't have to call bullshit on the fucking embarrassing symbolism with the white suit and the roses. (FUCKING SERIOUSLY?????) Because it's all okay! Z was in a hurry and didn't have a chance to patch together a story that made sense and was vaguely believeable, and he's a little outta touch when it comes to symbolism that wasn't old a century ago.
Whew. I guess I didn't watch an episode that had a lot of potential but fell apart in the execution after all! Hooray!
. . . that doesn't address the second week in a row of omg wacky! humor with Castiel, which I am really going to have a problem with if it keeps up (Misha: hilarious; material: one-note and kind of embarrassing), but nothing's perfect.

I mean, Lucifer was wearing white when he appeared to Nick and Sam, too, but "dead chicks in white" is standard procedure for SPN, so it wasn't as noticeable.

I mean, seriously, he's been out of the loop for a long time, and has a really elevated sense of himself. Perhaps all the cheesetasticness was his doing?

A thing I did like: Castiel's cell phone! Just a couple episodes ago I was wondering, "Do you think he signed up for a plan with, like, T-Mobile, or did he just swing by a convenience store and pick up a Tracfone?" And now it's lookin' like TracFone, and that amuses me to no end. I want the scene where he purchased it.

It just makes sense. The whole thing was too guided and overblown for it to be anything else. Or so I have decided in the cold light of day.
