It's never been clear to me how the demons get out of Hell, other than being released by accident or design topside. Ruby said this time she convinced Lilith to let her go for one last chance, so that would imply Lilith and other stronger demons can somehow send their people back and forth
Totally. I don't understand how Ruby was able to convince Lilith at all. Does Lilith have a revolving door to Hell or something, because the last we saw her she wasn't in Hell. Why on Earth are devil's gates necessary if there are demons who can come and go as they please, and apparently let others out as well? That seems a bit of a red herring. I'm sure there are power levels (Azazel could apparently get out himself, but couldn't get others out, which is why he needed the devil's gate opened?)
Oh, I'm so confused. Long story short: I think Kripke & Co. might have bitten off more than they could chew, and they are damned lucky they've got JA and JP (and many of the recurring actors) to pull off some of the shit. I think many of us get distracted enough by how awesome they are that the WTFery in storylines can go unnoticed.
Heh. It's only when I'm really perturbed by something that I nitpick.
Makes me think (even more than I already did) that someone from down below is still in charge of Ruby and she's made up an elaborate story to worm her way into Sam's life to bring about his downfall.
Yeah, now that they've pretty well established Castiel's not really an agent for Lucifer, I'm really hoping Ruby is. It'll make how she is much easier to stomach if I know it's all an insidious plot and not twu demon wuv.
