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.

Nice. I hope the writers explore the concept that angels are family just a little. It would be nice character development for Cas and the new angel.

I'm hoping for this as well. There's a lot of potential with bringing in these new angels into the mix, considering how it's been said they play an important part this season.

But mostly, above anything else, I want some sort of absolution for Castiel. While he may be fighting and in survival mode in Purgatory and returning back to the angel we all knew and loved, he's probably still in that mindset that he deserves to be punished after everything he's done. If nothing else, he needs the comfort, support and forgiveness of his fellow siblings in order for him to move forward. That is what I'm most concerned about, tbh. Of course, this season is supposedly going to give further development of all characters, so I'm hoping that is part of the package as well.

I'd love to see that too.
