I fucking hear you. Seriously, I kinda want my two hours back: that second part in particular (I like to call it Bourne Identity Part Douche) irritated the shit out of me.
I kept texting my friends that this was all an elaborate plan that Castiel cooked up: he kept asking the Winchesters to trust him and I was like "It's gotta be because this whole Purgatory business is to lure Raphael and Crowley. They'll open Purgatory and then they'll get sucked in, or blow up, or something!" And friends were all "You're tripping. You know the writers are going to do something that will make you froth at the mouth with rage."
Then suddenly Cas is the new Big Bad with delusions of GodHood and OH GOD WHAT THE FUCKETY FUCKING FUCK IS THIS SHIT????
The thing is, Cas is too smart for that shit. He's not the kind of guy to just get on the train of a plan cooked up by the King of Hell and then sit on it passively, reaching out only to kill somebody or brush an opponent out of the way, and ride it ALL THE WAY TO THE END.
All the way through, I was trying to tell myself that it was too quiet for a season finale, Cas wouldn't really fuck over the only friends and family he had, he wouldn't really go through with a plan when everybody else was saying UM CAS IDK IF THIS IS A GOOD IDEA, he wouldn't really discard the friggin' profound bond, and then it just-- ARGH. *claw hands

Oh god, and his casual killing of everybody who protested that his plan was shit just irritated the fuck out of me. How is he any kind of a leader if he just murders any subordinates (and friends! friends!) who disagree with him? I mean I know they were at war but COME THE FUCK ON. That wasn't a good omen for Cas-the-general, and it's got really bad implications now that he's Cas-the-god.
I thought I'd calmed down. But I guess I really haven't.lorelei76May 21 2011, 23:35:34 UTC
HELL YES TO THIS. I could have bought Cas' slide to the dark side if the entire season devoted a bit more time to the fact that he was seriously pressed up in heaven. He'd drop a sentence here, a sentence there that things weren't going well, but we never really had a real clue until that single episode that showed Cas getting a massive beat down.
Instead, the season focused on a storyline that went nowhere - seriously, all that build up for Eve and then...nothin'.
I hope to god it doesn't take 10 episodes of Dean angsting and getting angry about this betrayal.

THE WAR IN HEAVEN. I wanted to see that SO BAD. How does that even work? I would have killed for even a hint of angels in their eye-blinding true forms ripping the shit out of each other (and trufax, Raphael smiting the crap out of Cas was probably the highlight of the season for me because THAT'S WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR and I thought I was about to get more of it). Moar angel swordfighting, for fuck's sake! Ep 20 had me SO HYPED for the finale, because I thought we might actually get to hear about the war, but nooooo. (Which is maybe part of the reason I was let down so hard by what actually happened. I had expectationsCas' whole cock-tease of "yes there's a very interesting plot going on but I'm going to be mysterious about it when my time could be better spent actually acting like I'm your friend and telling you why I really can't always be down here to help you out, so that you know it's nothing personal" was just... well, it was just that

OR MAYBE I AM? SHOULD I LOOK FORWARD TO WHEN THEY FIX THIS?
I DON'T EVEN FUCKING KNOW, I CAN'T PROCESS THIS YET. BUT MY FIRST REACTION WAS JUST DDDDDDDD: DO NOT WAAAANT.
