The Winchester boys take a back seat in a decidedly spiritual episode of Supernatural.
Supernatural: Season 11, Episode 20
Dont read on if you havent seen the episode.
I swear to Chuck I am not kidding you this is a rather big spoiler.
At the time, the appearance of Castiel, an actual angel, was crazy to imagine.
Metatron served as our proxy in this sense.
There was a really good balance here between the side-by-side plots.
I wonder when the writers/showrunners decided that Chuck was actually the big guy upstairs.
That might not be the case, but thats okay.
The way this was handled, it still made sense that Chuck was God in disguise.
The fact that he can turn off Deans God-seeking amulet at will seems logical.
I was really impressed with Metatrons character growth to lead up to this episode.
He was such a jerk for so long that he became unsympathetic.
Now, after having fallen so low, he has put things in perspective.
The old Metatron would not have cared to give his dumpster-dive lunch to a stray dog.
Metatron had become such a cynic, I didnt think he was capable of turning this around.
Funny nod to the show bySupernaturalcreator Eric Kripke that was canceled in 2014.
Everything from his blog about cats (theyre so cute!)
to his Worlds Greatest Dad mug made this character a joy until he started getting more dark.
We glimpse the being that felt it was okay to abandon humanity.
It really showed a multi-faceted character.
Chuck Shurley/Carver Edlund/God had the joys, passions and fears that made him real.
I never thoughtSupernaturalwould dare bring God to the show, but now Im glad they have.
