STFU, Sera
Lol, I'm not really mad about that article, personally. But I am infuriated with Sera.
CLEARLY SHE MUST NOT GO ON THE INTERNET VERY OFTEN, OR SHE WOULD KNOW THAT THE LAST THING 98% OF CAS FANS WANTED TO HEAR WAS THAT HE WAS IN FACT DEAD.
I SHOULD be mad about that, but I can't be, lol. And I can't be because my brain automatically rationalizes everything, and it immediately did so with this article.
MY RATIONALIZATIONS, LET ME SHOW YOU THEM!
"TVLINE: What exactly happened to Castiel in that water? Did his body just dissolve into nothingness?
All of those Leviathans inside of Cas were too much for the vessel, so
they stewed him into the water. These are things we have to be somewhat
cagey about, but it was too much certainly and it disintegrated under
all of these monsters, if you will."
- Basically confirms that Levi really did have to get to the water ASAP or his perfect vessel really would've exploded.
"TVLINE: Is it safe to label him as dead? Or did you purposely leave it ambiguous?
Both things are true, actually. We purposely left it ambiguous. In the
life of the show, [Sam and Dean] just suffered the death of one of their
best friends, something that they are dealing with in a serious and
substantial way."
- She claims both things are true but only states that they left it ambiguous. Also this makes me believe that we are going to see grief from Dean sooner or later.
"TVLINE: So it’s definitely something that will carry on?
Certainly. Death is a funny thing on Supernatural
because we’re a show about life beyond the grave, but this is one of
most serious losses that Sam and Dean have had to face in the life of
the series."
- SO BASICALLY THAT MEANS CAS IS MORE IMPORTANT TO THEM THAN THEIR DAD WAS.
"TVLINE: Is there a chance that Misha could come back not as Cas, but in some other incarnation?
Oh definitely. It has always been our intention to bring back Mischa in
some form. When we called Mischa to let him know that we had this plan
for the character, we talked about this on a longer schedule than in
these first two episodes. We certainly can’t say too much about where
the story is going to go, but we love Mischa and want to continue to
work with him."
- It's "Misha" and also this basically confirms that Levi is still in Cas' body.
"TVLINE: Cas’ exit came pretty early in the episode and was somewhat subdued. Can you talk about the thinking behind that scene?
This is all part of the story that launches the season. So, we
didn’t think of [his death] as having more or less impact; we think of
all of this as the big kickoff."
- Big kickoff to him coming back, more like.
"What does Cas’ disappearance mean for Crowley and their deal?
Crowley is a little bit relieved. [Laughs] But just
because that player is off the board doesn’t mean that there’s not a
board for Crowley to be looking at. He is constantly strategizing and
when we see him next, he’s just jumping back into the game and figuring
out who he can align himself with and what the best move will be for
him."
- SOMEDAY, CROWLEY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE BIG BAD OF A SEASON. SOMEDAY.
"Does the world of angels still factor into the season, or is that chapter closed?
The epic war in heaven storyline has pretty much come to an end
- at least for now - but individual stories that include angels that
are more character-based or more about the impact that the previous wars
have had, we have plans for those."
- Heaven is going to come back for one thing or another also we have not seen the last of angels.
"Anticipation is high for Episode 3. What can you tease? Will we learn more about the Leviathan boss?
You will not meet the Leviathan boss yet, but you will
get to know these creatures a little bit better. There are several
scenes with them. Jensen [Ackles] directed the episode and did a
fantastic job again - it was a pretty quick learning curve. We gave him a
pretty complicated episode that had a lot of flashbacks and a lot of
tiny pieces to tie together and he did it really creatively and really
well. And he had to do it out of order, by the way. We handed him a
script that had all the information you saw in last week’s episode -
except he received that script before shooting that! [Laughs]"
- Levi is basically going to show up in a later episode (coughsevencough).
And in general:
She can SAY Cas is "dead" all she wants, but I still believe he's not. We shouldn't forget that he's already been dead TWICE. And both of those times involved his vessel being destroyed. And yet God brought him back both times with his vessel restored. WHO THE FUCK SAYS THIS WON'T BE THE CASE AGAIN?
Plus I seem to recall that in 6.20 he very specifically said that when Lucifer killed him in 5.22, he VERY much was dead for those few moments until he suddenly wasn't.
So this is likely the same situation, they're just changing up the formula for how his deaths usually go. The previous times he's died, he's only ever been gone 1 episode for the longest and a few minutes for the shortest. They're likely gonna stretch this one out to a few episodes or for all we know maybe the whole fucking season. Cuz the previous times, too, he wasn't gone long enough for anyone to properly grieve him. This way, it can finally sink into Dean's skull that Cas has died THREE times now. For him.
Also, I know not everyone agrees with how the writers handle season storylines (just look at Season 6), but I still remember when Cas PROMISED that he would FIX SAM. Just like he PROMISED, in 7.01 that he would REDEEM HIMSELF TO DEAN.
Cas and I, we don't say shit like that lightly. When we give someone our word, WE FUCKING MEAN IT. He isn't gonna die without accomplishing those things. Or at least, he's not gonna stay dead until they are accomplished.
Plus this is another validation for my 2nd dream. Someone disappearing the way Cas did in that dream doesn't always have to be something physical. Of course I thought it was physical at first since obviously Levi is behind-the-scenes now, but in actuality it could have represented him "dying" as well.
And the last part of my dream (where the panic went away/he came back) still hasn't happened yet, so for all intents and purposes, I'm still waiting for Cas to return.
Because honestly, he may've done "bad" things in recent times, but I firmly believe he's still God's favorite angel. God will bring him back again. God always brings him back.
CLEARLY SHE MUST NOT GO ON THE INTERNET VERY OFTEN, OR SHE WOULD KNOW THAT THE LAST THING 98% OF CAS FANS WANTED TO HEAR WAS THAT HE WAS IN FACT DEAD.
