There has been on other episode from this show that has affected me like this. I still feel drained from it, to be honest. That's when you know there's a quality episode right there. I'm so utterly grateful that Edlund was the one to handle such an episode. ♥
All the trust and faith in the last two epsiodes is how he should have been treating Cas all season. I get some of the frustration between them and that Cas was hiding so much which was hanging between them, but yeah the writers just didn't pull it off all that well earlier in the season.
Exactly. It would have been more acceptable had we'd seen more support and them treating Castiel like an actual friend than their personal mule the whole season, which would have made the impact of the truth more painful and we could understand the frustrations. But the brothers have no room to start accusing, pointing fingers and reacting the way they did when there was nothing there in the previous episodes. I like my angst and conflict when it's appropriate and makes sense. Edlund's writing should have been most of this season because he would have been able to pull this off while having the levels of angst and feelings of betray make sense....however the sad reality is the show has been lacking in many areas of making sense, and this was one of the major downfalls where it just doesn't add up to anything.
Nonetheless, the emotional impact this episode made as a whole still hurts my heart. Oh Cas. ;___;
I adored Dean and Cas' 'breakup' in the green room back in season 4, and this episode just took that further.
God, yes. I didn't think anything could surpass that green room scene in the S4 finale, but Edlund proved us wrong by doing just that. I mean, the looks that Dean and Castiel were giving each other, so full of hurt and pain and betrayal and regret. Just, you sense Dean's disappointment and Castiel being so desperate and defeated at the same time. It's just heart-wrenching just thinking about that scene. D:
I have to have hope in them, too. Somehow things will be alright. Right?
