I have a
trinityofone! Who better to watch Cas's return to TV with?
CAS ON MY TEEVEE
I have now seen this episode twice, and that's pretty much all I can come up with. I mean, where the fuck do I even start? After much consultation with
trinityofone, I can safely say I really have no idea. My brain is still stuck on OH MY GOD CAS and JESUS CHRIST I LOVE YOU BEN EDLUND and OH MY GOD CAS, with a bit of helpless flailing and grinning thrown into the mix.
Seriously, people. I admit (SORRY
insight2 I AM WEAK AND FALLIBLE) I caved earlier this week and watched the preview clip of this episode, so I was very ridiculously pleased that Cas decided to answer Dean praying, as you may imagine. But I have no clue what to say about this episode, except, well, I really liked it a whole fucking lot. I mentioned to Trin, who sat right next to me and made shrill noises with me, that this episode reminds you--in case you really needed the reminder--about everything that Cas is: badass, socially inept, completely lacking in patience with respect to anything resembling stupidity ("what part of 'I don't know' escapes your understanding?") possessing "rusty" "people skills," regretful but resolute, aware of his bad sense of humor, determined to do what he must, crushed that his family is more or less past redemption, and involved with Dean on some level that was probably just mentioned for the specific purpose of torturing us.
(Like, come on, I DIDN'T MEAN TO BRING IT UP. STOP FUCKING WITH US, EDLUND. Have them make out already geez goddamn wtf.)
So, yeah, I don't know what to say, except I fucking love Castiel, and I am overall so ridiculously pleased at how he's come back that I really can't say anything constructive. I will try to say more later, particularly with reference to Sam (Who now has no business whatsoever critiquing Dean's previous or current sexual behavior), and a bit more about Dean, but for now.... CAS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead, have a few pretty pictures to tide you over until the inevitable
Casifesto update. Because that will be happening as soon as I can get my thoughts together, oh yes. And in the meantime, feel free to shriek and squeal at me in comments.
