I saw the wings, Kat! Thanks for mentioning them - no matter how long these bloody commentaries get, I never manage to remember to include all the details. That was a great image!
I liked Anna in spite of the idiocy of her introduction. I mean, really: ripping out an angel's grace in Heaven (which is literally up in the sky!) and falling like a meteorite through the night to be born a human baby? Krikpe had to have been both smoking and drinking to have come up with that one. Dumb. But I liked her status as an unreliable narrator, someone whose personal bias tainted her every perception and thus what she told us of Heaven and angels. In her anger and dissatisfaction with her life and her defiant rebellion against what was expected of her, she reminded me of early Sam; she bad-mouthed her lot as an angel the same way he saw only the negative things about the life he had lived with John and Dean. And it amused me that she never saw the contradiction in her claim that angels had no free will, and her own exercise of that will to abandon her position. Heh.
I don't see Sam and Dean saying yes to Lucifer and Michael unless they could find a way to change the rules and remain the dominant consciousness in the blend, rather than yielding control to the angels. I am very curious about how this whole thing is going to get resolved!
