Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

My personal theory about Cas's hunger is that as he becomes more used to humanity since his vessel is now his body now, he experiences everything that comes with it.

++ PARALLEL: In comparison with Buffy the Vampire Slayer this time, I couldn't help but think of how Dean and Sam are just like Buffy and Willow in S6; Willow with her dark magic addictions and Buffy just going through the motions of life after being brought back. Interesting, really.

OMG! Yes! I am so glad to see I am no the only one who sees the parallels.

++ I didn't like Famine comparing Castiel to a dog, obviously, because it said it in the nastiest, degrading way possible (and where Castiel is kneeling on the floor, all fours, eating ground meat from the bin, oh God such a horrible thing). However, in the sense of being absolutely faithful and loyal towards the Winchesters, Dean especially, that's where I see the dog comparison. Because let's face it, Castiel is sorta like a puppy. A lovable, adorable and sweet puppy, and gets all protective over the boys whenever danger lurks.

Once again, I agree. Castiel is incredibly loyal to those who places his faith in.

All I gotta say this eps. was ripe for H/C fics.

I do believe Famine was lying though. If Dean was truly dead, he wouldn't be praying for help. He's just broken. I really wish that had Cas comforting like they did in S4 but I guess he had to stay and watch Sam.

Still, the Dean/Cas interactions were WAY better that the last eps. I mean Cas was actually part of the team and not passed out off screen.
