Dean/Cas semi-lucid ranting
Some comments on i_rise_inside journal got my thoughts going about the end of season 5 and the inability of the writers to do the Dean Cas bond justice so I thought I would share my ranting….
( ranting is good for the soul..... )
I could have been alright and even happy with Cas going back to heaven if it had been done right. But it was all just too rushed. Castiel has been more of an after thought in the last few episodes, like you say a plot device the writers used.
They needed at least some sort of farewell or thanks for all your help scene. In the end it seemed as though all of Castiel's sacrifices were meaningless, that Dean didn't even care. The lack of emotion was what bothered me the most. I could have handled it as their final scene if there had just been more emotion and gratitude. I mean Dean was back to calling him a junkless sissy, after everything Cas had done, it was just wrong.
I'm more annoyed in a lot of ways with the way they portrayed Dean then Cas, as I don't think Cas was back to the same old dick angel. But Dean was back to being a bit of an asshole to Cas at times. I thought Cas was still showing emotion just a little more covered up now that he's back to being an angel. He just needed to go back to heavan for himself. He even said he doesn't know what God wants, and to me it sort of sounded like that didn't matter. I think he just saw going back to heaven as something he needed to do, to try and help his brothers. And frankly its about time he did something for himself, he had given up everything for Dean and died more than once. Sure in someways this may have been falling back to his old ways, but he needs to find his own way, not Gods, not Deans, so in some ways it makes sense that he didn't stay. Doesn't mean it pisses me off any less, but I can see some sense in it. It just wasn't done very well.
As for him leaving Dean alone, well Dean probably needed to be alone. He finally let Sam go his own way even if that meant sacrificing himself and now really needs to find a way to live on his own. Though Lisa is just a stop along theway if you ask me, he won't be happy there, its not really what he wants he's just doing it as he promised that he would try.
So I'm not really mad that Cas left Dean, just that the whole thing was rushed and so emotionless. I really hate that they didn't show any gratitude or care or any sort of emotion from Dean. It just all should have been done better....I can see some good in what they did...it just needed more, much more
