Gabriel is responsible for Mystery Spot. I think that’s a perfectly valid reason not to be into him. Pairing him up with Sam hardcore squicks me out. Just????? No. There’s so many awesome people to pair Sam with. The whole “give Sam his own angel” thing is ridiculous to me. Even if you take away what Gabe did to Sam & Dean – their personalities do NOT mesh.
Yeah, that’s my issue with it, I think. I don’t really think they mesh well. Like, if you want Sam to be with an angel, Gareel is a thing. I think they have more in common honestly.
I mean, Mystery Spot was a halmark of who Gabe was. He was kind of cruel (really cruel) and he did have something of an arc where he was willing to die to protect humanity so that was fine. I liked that arc. Having him come back though, is not something I care for. He’s just very very meh to me. I’m all for telling canon to shove it and writing characters they way you want to but Gabe is one of those characters I rarely find myself says “he makese perfect sense in this”.
