Speculation about Cas and Season 6
So last night I watched the first webepisode of "Ghostfacers," and was thinking about that interview that said they had suppressed the Cas "Interview with an Angel" episode, already filmed, when news of the season 6 pickup struck, and I thought of something...
I'm thinking now that the reason that they did this was because this epp was going to air after this past SN epp, in which Cas has lost all of his angel mojo and is all but human--making the "Interview with an Angel" kind of outdated. If that's the case, then I feel a little better (I worried it might be connected with Cas dying or something), but if true it also lends itself to my theory that making Cas human was a move to make him more compatible for a season 6 in which there are no angels or big mytharc or apocalypse anymore. Because if they were originally going to air this angel interview when they didn't know if there'd be another season, it makes me think they might not have originally planned to make Cas lose *all* of his angel mojo--though I could be wrong about that too. I am not sure how much they had planned ahead of time, but it is interesting that they originally had no problem with airing this epp, and then suddenly changed their minds when they realized they would have another season.....
In any case, while I am not sure how I feel about a human!Cas (by which I mean a powerless!Cas), if it's the only way to believably integrate him into season 6 when there is no apocalypse to be fighting, then I am all for it, anything to keep Cas and Misha on the show. Because while I do love the show before season 4 and Cas arrived (hell, season 2 is by far my favorite season, I still have mixed feelings about season 4 overall, and I was in love with the show by "Wendigo"), now that he has been introduced I just feel like he is too much of a part of the show (like Bobby as well) to disappear now. :s Sam and Dean have lost so many people in their life already, I would like them to still have Cas and Bobby at least. And if Cas is essentially stuck on Earth in his vessel, powerless, it would make sense for him to stick around in season 6, and become a hunter perhaps--he's off to a great start in the last epp, with his pwning Pestilence and that demon, and now learning how to use a gun! ;)
In any case though, I will remain somewhat anxious for Cas until the finale airs, and keep my prayer circle going! :o
God I am so nervous about the SN finale, it's my first one, it's going to be weird to not be able to immediately watch the next epp when it finishes! :p I hope it's not too much of a cliffhanger, that it is more like 2x22 and less like 1x22 or 4x22! ;)
