The seasons don't end with Castiel being a perfect character there are still many deep flaws, which need to be resolved. His tendency to allow himself to defined by a specific mission which allows other to manipulate him (Metatron, Crowley), a hero complex (I'd argue it's a mix of arrogance and after being let down so much in season five a sense of he needs to do things himself) and an inability to truly live up to his actions. It is only in my opinion after the events of late S6/early S7 that Castiel truly owns his guilt for the first time and develops the awareness required to no longer blame others for his actions(such as saying his rebellion was all due to Dean), but finally begins to realise his actions are his and his alone, a very important development for the character.
Wow I did not mean to make this so long! Hope I did not bore anymore with my mini Castiel analysis lol.
Hey! Wow - you really do know this character. :)) Sounds like a spot on analysis to me. :)) I think Cas can be forgotten in the great scheme of things (dealing with his depression etc) sometimes.
Hee...I don't have anything to add. You covered it! :))
Hehe the worst thing is this was originally supposed to be about three lines worth, but then it seems parts of the Castiel character meta I've had in the back of my mind for a few years now wanted to come out.
