I'd chime in my own savings, should you want them.
Honestly, I get what (I hope) they were trying to do, but then it all went to hell in a handbasket because, again, they made into a plot device that resulted in the, possibly unintended, message that their story line is the one bearing all the weight and rightness, granted it is their story line and it is the driving force of this season's myth arc and so it must have some importance for the characters. But still, FAIL.
I thought you'd be seething, yes. Honestly, I initially cheered Kali's speech to Trickster/Gabriel, and to her credit she was the only one to actually put up a decent fight to Lucy's peeing contest, but then she was made a weakling thing that required the saving of the Winchesters, whom only came to her rescue because of Gabriel, I think they would have been more than happy to let her burn seeing as how anyone not directly aiming to do things their way gets their comeuppance, and then, to salt the wound a bit, they make her sound all bitchy with the "I'm not getting in that" or whatever comment she made about the car that Dean scoffed at...
And why Ganesh (is it Ganesh or Ganesha? I've seen it written both ways so I'm not sure. Spell check says it's Ganesha, btw), Baldur and Zao Shen being there at all? I mean, one would assume that a war convocation would require warlords or something, so Kali and Odin made sense, Mercury is excused for his suggestion of diplomacy as it fits his own mythology as well (though why not have Mars instead?), this all rubbed me in so the wrong way in so the wrong place.
