      Asmodeus: Gabriel! What are you doin', son? You know too well what I can do to you. I broke you! You're too weak!

      [fires energy blast at Gabriel]

      Gabriel: [deflects energy blast] Not anymore. Oh, by the way, I always hated that dumbass suit.

      [ignites Asmodeus on fire with a hand gesture and he burns to ashes]

    Not too bad
    A somewhat slow but alright episode this week from Supernatural.

    It was great to see Gabriel get his mojo back and finish off Asmadeus. This season has been good but we there has been a lack or build up to a consistent threat or challenge. The focus has quickly shifted to Michael as the main threat from the other world. Lucifer meanwhile is running heaven which is a hilarious and unreal scenario but he also remains as another villain floating around.

    The worst part of this episode was Charlie Bradbury. I cannot stand this character and was pleased to read on other places that a lot of fans feel the same. Out of all the dead characters why would you bring such an unappealing and annoying character/person back. I have never liked or cared for her and just when we were all thrilled she was dead and gone they drag her back in. There have been many favourites who have hit home runs on the show, Charlie is not one of them. Another idea could have been having a former villain as a good character in the other world but I digress.
