Angels in the Bible weren't always nice guys. Nor is the God of the Bible. Not to say they are/would be evil, but they are pretty far from the pretty, helpful images we see a lot now. Supernatural does not stick with Christian dogma on much of anything (demons specifically), so I don't imagine they will do that much here either. Of course angels are not just specific to Christianity either.

I have no idea where the 66 seals comes from. The only seals that I am aware of are the 7 seals in the Book of Revelation. There are also 7 vials/bowls and 7 trumpets referred to in the book. But those seals were to be opened by Jesus.

The "Rising of the Witnesses" thing was kind of interesting though, as Revelations describes there will be two witnesses who will prophecy before the apocalypse.

(Also interesting to note that Lucifer and Satan were not originally designations for the same being. Lucifer means morning star and refers to Venus. However, with common use in Christianity, Lucifer has become intertwined with Satan/the devil.)

Wow am I the only one who found this episode boring? It just seemed to lack the action of the other episodes this season. The storyline was pretty interesting, but I would have liked it done differently.

That was a hilariousr episode, really made up for the boring one before it. Hubby and I were in total stitches A+ on this episode.

This was a hilarious episode.
The teddy bear was just priceless.
"Why am I here?" "For tea parties!""Is that all there is?!"

I think they are absolutely real angels and they are doing what they or their boss feels needs to be done. Seriously, angels aren't supposed to be all fluffy feathers and pretty halos- they are supposed to be working for a higher purpose and sometimes things have to be done that aren't so nice. The girl is a liability, and possibly an enormous one that could negate anything positive the angels could do to stop the demons. Truthfully, if I had a choice between being killed by angels or imprisoned by demons.....welll......................

It seemed very much like a bad horror movie. I don't like those slasher-type movies and didn't particularly like this episode either. Let's get back to the supernatural stuff!!
