Castiel in 8.02 episode stills

As for the sneak peeks everyone seems to be freaking out about, I'm actually not that worried about it? With all the interviews and general overview of what this season is going to be exploring, I'm mostly neutral and optimistic about where the story direction is heading. Every character is going to be going through something, giving their arcs some individual attention separately from one another and yes, that means some of them will go through the wringer because of it. But I'm positive all will come together by the end of the season regardless. Besides, Carver has already stated a while back that nothing is what it appears to be, which means that what happened in Purgatory, and in turn what happened to Castiel, is going to be the mystery that will be gradually revealed for at least the first half of the season.

Aside from that, I'm also very pleased with the casting of the new group of characters that will be introduced this season, particularly with the new angel. Now that was a pleasant surprise I didn't see coming.

The new angel is a she, actually. :) She's going to be part of a group of new angels introduced this season, which I'm very excited about.

Eh, the angels are no more dicks than Sam and Dean are, tbh. Besides, not all the angels are like that, as we've seen, it's just not a lot of them survive long enough to see more of that. Which is why I wish the show explored more with them because the angel family is something I am absolutely love and want to see more of. I'm hoping for that with these new angels, in that while they have their own agenda (i.e. survival) they are going to be helpful, and be caring siblings to Castiel (because after all he's been through, forgiveness and acceptance of his family is something he kind of needs right now, tbh.)
