I really hope they tie that into the season's big theme of getting what you think you want but not really wanting it; Cas got Heaven and he's miserable, Crowley is miserable as the King of Hell and Dean was miserable in his normal life.
I'm seriously hoping this theme goes somewhere, because I find it fascinating and it certainly isn't coincidental. This is leading to something. I'm personally speculating that this could have our characters understand where they belong, which path is the right path for them and discovering something about themselves. It might be a long-shot knowing this show, but I got to believe that this might be progression of character developments. Finding out things they wanted weren't things that made them happy. It has to mean something, right?
As much as it adds yet another layer to their already complex relationship, I really hope Dean at least sees that Cas isn't nearly as not-human as Dean keeps saying he is. It's kind of funny that while Sam has stopped being able to feel, Cas feels more.
Agreed. I think Dean has been frustrated for a long time, with everything he's gone through and what he's suspecting of his brother, and for some reason he tries to hide behind this facade of perhaps not getting too close after so many disappointments like this. But there really needs to be some recognition of everything Castiel has done for him. It's just heartbreaking watching Castiel in that scene as Dean is yelling and cursing at him when. His face is almost crestfallen and you can tell he wants to tell Dean what he's been doing, but he cannot for his protection. I do hope there is a scene at some point acknowledging this.
That's also very interesting, Castiel has more humanity than Sam does right now, he feels while Sam does not. Fascinating.
Me too. I liked that ending scene because I think it really showed that Dean had reached his breaking point.
*nods* Yeah, it's such a fantastic scene because of how disturbing and unnerving it was. You feel torn between wondering what the hell Dean is doing yet understanding why he reacted the way he did (because most of us, the audience, has been feeling the same frustrations and confusion at Sam since this season began) and it's like a punch in the gut of a scene. It was done excellently.
Me too. It really says something about how well Jensen and Misha play off each other that they can make even brief scenes so interesting.
This. It's nice seeing their dynamic played out on the screen, they have such amazing chemistry it's insane.
