Dominion 1x03

A great, though cruel cliffhanger. Can't wait for next week's episode. The preview looks fantastic.

Great to see more wonderful Alex/Michael interaction and finding out more about their own story.

Also nice to see some gay characters as well. Arika (wife of Queen Evelyn) and the Archangel Corps officer sent to pick her up. Will have to watch again to catch his name (What a chore.... Not). Though I had to smile when Arika pointed out that he wasn't interested in Alex and he replied something like "Hell no, we're like brothers."

It's weird seeing the Angel wings so much when we hardly see them at all in SPN. Yeah, I have lots of SPN thoughts while watching this show, all the similarities and differences. It's going to be very interesting when I get around to doing the crossover fic I want to write. Can't wait to see how Sam and Dean react to seeing possessed people with black eyes that aren't demons but angels. My initial idea is Michael bringing Alex to the SPN 'verse to keep him safe from Gabriel and a few eight-balls follow them.

I love Michael's elegance :)

Me too. There's is something that is rather other-worldly about him, kind of how the angels in SPN used to be back in season 4. I especially love how protective he is of Alex, yet is still willing to do the tough things (letting Alex grow up an orphan, living on the streets, the discipline (that one in the pilot was so NOT the first time Alex had been whipped by Michael) in order to prepare Alex for later life.

Oh yes, the angel wings :D I always compare them to how I remember seeing Castiel's wings in 4x01, and it seems to me that they are smaller. Also, I don't like how the wings' attachment to the back is shown, like in the scene where Gabriel lands on his way to meet Whele Jr. It just bugs me.

Yeah, the wings have me thinking too. I'm unsure if they are invisible when folded or actually retract into the back of the angel. I do like seeing them, it just takes a bit getting used to.
