I enjoyed the episode despite thinking that Cas got the short end of the stick. It was a good episode for Sam and Dean, just not the best for Cas.
We saw Sam and Dean break away from their codependency and I hope that Dabb will continue this trend going forward.
I’m also glad to have Mary back because she’ll most likely be a comfort to the brothers and she’ll bring a fresh family dynamic to the show.
Dabb seems to be moving away from pitting the brothers against super strong big bads which is a smart move given that they’ve literally had God on the show. You can’t keep escalating beyond that. It’ll be s refreshing change to see Sam and Dean have to face down an earthly opponent like the London chapter of the Men of Letters.
I’ll always want better things for Cas, but as far as finales go, I do think that there is a good, clean slate for Dabb to begin his era as showrunner.
What is the purpose from a writers prospective for keeping Lucifer in Cas? They could easily get him out with God being on the same side as Lucifer now. It’s just that they’re too god damn lazy to give Cas a story. They know they can’t kill him off because they’d lose a good portion of their fans so they shove him in his own mind and give us a half assed promise of, “Well, he said yes because he thinks he’s worthless on his own and we might get back to that and give him a story but probably not because we don’t actually care.”
It’s the perfect way to essentially kill Cas off while still keeping Misha on the show to make the fans happy.
I’m just so god damn angry because they keep giving Cas these potentially AMAZING plot lines and then they completely fuck him. You can’t tell me that they are going to find a way to finish this whole arc off in two episodes while still keeping all this Dean/Amara/God shit the main point. If they do it will be as rushed and half assed as all the other Cas stories.
Cas has been in 6 episodes including the 2 seconds we had in Hell’s Angel. 6 fucking episodes.
This! I’m disappointed but I’m not surprised. Spn has been pulling this shit off for years now. This is what kind of made me lose hope for Destiel (this season included, I don’t know what season 12 will be like but honestly I am afraid).
But then they are queerbaiting again and I know they are but then I get my hopes up like an idiot only to see them being crushed every time.
They should just either go for Destiel or let it go completely. Not queerbaiting us just to get people to keep watching the show.
I still hold hope that it will hapen. A lot of evidence points towards it.
Yeah, that’s true. I guess I’m just sad and worried after this episode…
It’s okay honey, I think we are all a bit tired and exhausted from this. But we’ll haul through keep smiling, kee thinking possiitve dn it might just happen. We can’t give up yet.
Just gonna throw my 2 cents here (because i hate to see people upset about
Destiel): I think one reason they are keeping Casifer is simply because many
were disappointed when Deanmon only had a few episodes in Season 10. Sure, we
hate to see Dean suffer (same as we hate to see Cas suffer) but the *potential*
of the stories with Deanmon was (lbr) one of the main things we were excited
about for Season 10. And then…it was pretty much a fizzle and left many fans
disappointed. Deanmon could have been so much fun (to paraphrase
LeviathanCas) and therefore Casifer, I think, is TPTB’s way of making up for
the mistake they made of not taking Deanmon to full potential. As a character, Casifer
still has a story to fulfill - and I think Cas will have a very very important
role in the the finale. What exactly that is, I can only speculate - but I have
faith that they will make Castiel *instrumental* in the finale. And that it
will *up* the Destiel angst. We’ve had a run of outstanding episodes, all of
which have been Destiel positive (wow, married male hunter mirror couple and
BiGod - the only ‘obstacle’ left for Destiel is Amara - and she represents
heteronormativity. So…once she’s gone…we only need Those Two Idjits to forgive
each other, forgive themselves and start cuddling!)
whoops, sorry for the ramble. I’m just so very excited for Casifer (which I am loving
- seriously Misha’s performance alone is worth all the Casifer episodes so I’m
not complaining just on that front!).
I hope you all feel a bit better - if for no other reason, just look at all the Destiel positive and queer positive things we’ve had this season. And not once was any of it no-homo’d.They haven’t given us a reason to think that any of it was queerbait - quite the opposite. And based on that, I believe TPTB are going to give us Destiel and probably as endgame (i.e. when SPN itself ends for good). With another season to go, I’m guessing the Destiel will be ‘stretched out’. But as of this season, I have no doubt that it will happen. As long as the Network higher-ups don’t veto it then we are actually almost all set.
i didn’t know it was possible, but supernatural has laid a solid foundation for rebuilding the relationship between dean and cas. there has been so much shit building between them and they never talk about it. for a while i thought they never would. and how can these characters realistically just move past all the fights, the yelling, the dismissals from the person they supposedly care so much about? yes they can share a manly nod and keep it moving, but if this thing is really GOING ANYWHERE? that’s not enough to build on. there has to be acknowledgment and healing. so they took cas away. and they KEPT him away. dean has agonized over it for half a season incredibly effectively. literally his central plot in the second half has been “cas is gone and i will not rest or be happy until he’s back.” more than amara, more than the pending apocalypse, dean’s personal journey the second half has been about his fight for cas. he’s atoning for the way he’s treated his friend so that when he gets him back, things will be different.
looking at castiel like awwwww ancient mass-murdering eldritch terror, can i smooth your hair back from your forehead and tuck you into bed and watch nature documentaries with you until you fall asleep??? :(
calling all cas/misha/destiel/cockles (CMDC) blogs!!
due to the recent influx of anons asking for cmdc blog recs, i thought i’d try this out to help everyone find other cmdc (and cas-positive!) blogs. reblog this post if this fits your blog type, check out other blogs in the notes of this post, and follow any you like! hopefully this will serve as a running list of cmdc recs. :)
