So I finally watched SPN 6.21 and 6.22
And I have absolutely no idea what to do with those two episodes.
I don't think they fit into my head canon very well, which is unfortunate because they were episodes of the show and so are clearly canon. I really, really, desperately want the Lord Chuck to show up within the first half hour of Season 7 to zap Cas back to being just Cas and banish him to Earth or something. This would be awesome because:
1. Chuck! I miss Chuck.
2. It fixes Cas and lets him bum around with the Winchesters some more, which he clearly needs to do.
The relationship between Dean, Cas, Sam, and Bobby is pretty much the only reason I watch the show. It got me through RoboSam, it got me through the dropped plot lines, it got me though the (temporary) death of Crowley, and I hope it will get me through the beginning of Season 7.
HERE'S THE THING THOUGH (bear with me because I'm tired): From all my years of watching Stargate, I'm totally used to plot lines involving characters that randomly get possessed by evil things and claiming that they are (false) gods. As often happened in Stargate, a goa'uld would possess a character and claim to be, say, Hathor, and demand that everyone bow down to them. Teal'c would get his bitchface on and call them a false god, Daniel would explain the mythology of the false god, and everyone would work together to save the possessed person from the evil thing possessing them. And, usually in the third act, the goa'uld would be extracted, everything would go back to normal, and life would go on. Usually all within one hour of television.
So, assuming that Cas is possessed (or drunk on power) in some way from the purgatory monster souls he absorbed, the rest of the characters simply need to extract those souls from him and then go out for burgers. Chuck seems like the best candidate for the purgatory-extraction, but I'm not picky AS LONG AS IT HAPPENS. Cas needs to become Cas again. Fast. Stargate could do it in an hour. I know SPN isn't quite as cracky as Stargate, but I'd like them to move on this ASAP. (I just don't think they will. If Cas is the big bad of next season, I'm pretty sure I'm done with the show.)
Oh, show. You know I'm not happy with a season's plot arc as a whole if I'm hoping you become SG1.
