Sympathy For The Devil Review

Several times during the fourth season, I mentioned that the actions and statements from the angels, the demons, and the Brothers Winchester were all based on their limited point of view. As many times as the characters said that “God had left the building” and that there was, perhaps, no God at all, it was too easy to assume that it was the case. (That didn’t stop some from assuming the worst, of course.)
I pondered in the review for “Lucifer Rising” that this may have been intentional from a storytelling perspective. Perhaps the angels were led to believe that they were on their own, because the final resolution to the apocalypse was never supposed to be in their hands. After all, the thrust of Christian religious tradition is how it all comes down to what humanity chooses to do. And, in keeping with that, we have our erstwhile champions, Sam and Dean.
A common religious proverb states, “God helps those who help themselves”. It’s a simple way of saying that waiting around for deliverance is never going to work; one must take active agency to solve a problem before divine intervention is likely to kick into gear.
