SPN - 6.20

I'm going to have to cogitate on this one a bit. Castiel's dilemma is interesting, and uncomfortable-making (which is the point, I realize). Overall, I kind of liked the format, and it was nice to see Castiel praying.

Also, Cas raised Sam from Perdition! But he couldn't quite get all of him through the Cage. I really hope he didn't leave Sam's soul behind on purpose. Surely he would know how bad that would be. But the fact that he tried to give Dean back what he'd sacrificed. Oh, Cas. You're learning the hard way the importance of keeping the lines of communication open.

Loved seeing Cas smite demons. That was fairly awesome. And when he had Crowley up against the wall, I so wanted him to remind Crowley that he could smite him as easy as breathing.

And apparently monsters do have souls. At least, souls of a sort. Who knew?

The ep had a few amusing moments, which yay because the rest of it was very sad, watching things unravel so.

Overall it just kind of hurt. To watch Cas's world crumble around him. To watch Dean come to grips with learning that Cas has been lying to him. To again have someone he trusts and loves betray him and lie to him.

I have a feeling I missed some key lines, since our CW affiliate was blinking in and out tonight. Ugh.

As for the upcoming ep, all I can say is the better not make Lisa evil. Just, no. I feel like crying just thinking about it.

This show is starting to stress me out. Will there be anyone to talk me off the ledge when the time comes?

See my reply to leelust below.

Dean would have liked to at least have had the chance to be there for Cas, if Cas had let him.

Because you should always talk to those whom you trust before you start (ideally, instead of) making deals with demons.

You have a very valid and true point. From a human perspective. Cas isn't human though. He's always been a foot soldier doing what the was told until he met Sam and Dean. I don't think strategizing with Dean crossed his mind because it seems, his intent was to protect Dean from it all.

Thinking about what you said, Dean would have been a good person for Cas to confide in and seek counsel from. I'm really kindof heartbroken for all of them right now.
