Did everybody know about this but me?

Nov 23, 2008 16:02

I was listening to an interview with Misha Collins over at Slice of Scifi and I learnt something I don't think I knew. Actually, it's kind of weird because the more I think about it the more I think perhaps I did know but perhaps I've forgotten somewhere along the way...

Anyway. One of the interviewers mentioned that at the end of 'Red Sky at ( Read more... )

seriously!? wtf!!!

Yep! At first I thought maybe it just sounded like 'castiel' but it's definitely 'castiel'. I wonder what - if anything - it means. :)

Wow! I never noticed that before.

katysam November 23 2008, 12:12:02 UTC

I never noticed it either but then again I think I've watched 'Red Sky' a total of one-point-five times. Or maybe twice. ;)

Maybe they were just throwing out words.

I don't think it has anything to do with anything.

It just sounds latin mixed in with the other words *shrugs*

I think you're right and maybe they just forgot they'd already used the word 'castiel'. MAYBE the word has significant meaning for one of the writing staff. You know, they had a pet bunny or rock called 'Castiel' when they were a kid. ;)

THAT. IS AWESOME.

It's kind of cool and even if it doesn't mean anything in relation to the mythology, I think it indicates the word has some significance to someone behind the show. Surely a made up word doesn't get made up twice too often. :)

I knew that actually, but only because one of my flist speaks latin and was pointing that out early in the season
its very cool!

katysam November 23 2008, 12:23:39 UTC

It is cool. Your friend didn't happen to know what it meant - if anything. Is 'castiel' a Latin word? I know it's a place in Switzerland but that's about it. It's tricky finding anything about the origin of word these days because 9 out of 10 Google entries are Supernatural related! I remember Googling it right after 4x01 and there was nothing! *g*

no Castiel isnt a Latin word, it is literally a name, I believe the sentence was like "I summon and then the names one of which is Castiel :)

katysam November 23 2008, 12:36:26 UTC

Well, that is interesting. If it was used as a name in 'Red Sky', I can't see how it can't be significant. I mean, if the rest of the ritual was actual Latin then it would stand to reason Castiel could be a name. And then to have an Angel turn up with the same name. It can't be a coincidence, however, I guess it could be an oversight - they simply forgot they'd used the name before. :)
Thanks for the info.
