It's great to hear what a Cas fan links. I've never minded Cas but his story arc is so messy. But I think it's also really hard. He's an angel after all. The problem with where they have left him is it negates what he actually is. As an angel he could just zap to another place - or time. He can do amazing things and yet he's left sitting there, seemingly powerless. Maybe having Cas in his brain is more damaging than I initially thought it was.
He's certainly redeemed himself - in terms of fixing Sam. He still has the Leviathan issue to deal with and I have to say I am concerned he's going to be able to suddenly solve that whole issue as well. I'm keen to see where they take that.
all I truly felt was given adequate strength was Sam's suffering.
Yeah. I agree. And I did love all that. Those scenes were much tighter than the rest. which is a major shame. I think they could have done without the Meg story line and given more time to Dean and Sam. Even to Dean, Sam and Cas. There was enough in just that to carry the episode.
Aaannnnwaaayyy...these episodes are hard. It might only be in hindsight that we see how it all fits in.
