The TWOPPEr (it's on the quotes thread) said Iambs - not pentameter.
I mean, iambs don't have to be in pentameter, do they?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I mean, iambs don't have to be in pentameter, do they?
They do not - I marked out Castiel's line as iambic pentameter (y halo thar, Shakespeare obsession), but that's easily fixed:
"I'm /the one /who gripped /you tight /and raised /you from /per-di-/tion"
Iambic just means stressing every second syllable. So:
I AM an ANgel OF the LORD.
BeCAUSE God COMmanDED it.
(yeah, that notation style doesn't work for me. back to the slashes!)

One one of the interviews that Mischa Collins did today. (Or you know, since last Thursday.)
ETA: Spoilery about how many episodes he will be in.
Sorry to leave it so long. Fringe was more absorbing than I would have guessed.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I liked how he was puzzled that Dean could doubt the veracity of anything he said. Like the concept of deception was foreign to him. Well played.

One one of the interviews that Mischa Collins did today.
Thank you for linking that! It was wonderful. (eta: Article itself is a leetle-teeny spoilery on the whole for number of episodes and fleshing out of his character.)
Non Spoilery part...
“A few people have emailed me links to chats where there was a lot of discussion going on and I’m amazed by how in tune the fans are. It’s almost like the show has 4 million editors,” says Misha with a laugh.
Gah. I get so embarrassed when the actors know exactly how crazy we are.
“It kind of makes me nervous, I didn’t realize people would be going over it with a fine-tooth comb. I’m going to have to be sure that I don’t screw up.”
Oh, honey. Welcome to the party. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

I completely agree. I thought his portrayal was very Nicholas Cage, City of Angels-esque.

So true. (About not seeing the whole crazieness yet.)
Also - I think his name is spelled Misha - but it's confusing: the title of that interview spells it Misha but the link spells it Mischa.

I was wandering around LiveJournal, and it's amusing how many of the fic writers seem to be certain Dean would be in need of a blowjob from Castiel before he could be ready to comply with further heavenly instructions. They seem kind of nebulous as to what those orders might be.... all inspiration seems to run out once the sexin' is done. Interestingly enough, Castiel seems to remain fully clothed, trench coat and all, throughout the encounters.

The TV Addict interview with Misha Collins. Lightly spoilery. (Talks about who his character interacts with.)
Most interesting to me:
How did you find your way onto SUPERNATURAL?
Originally I auditioned for the role of a demon. I thought I did a great demon, really snarky and nasty. But when I finished reading Eric Kripke [SUPERNATURAL showrunner] said, “Wait, we have somewhat of an enthusiastic fan-base and we’re trying to keep it a secret that we’re introducing an angel on the show. So you’re not a demon, you’re an angel. Can you do it again with more of a quality of innocence and curiosity about how it is these humans behave.” And it was that naiveté about human beings in general that really informed how I play Castiel.
And this:
Completely agree. But back to your character if I may. How much do you know about Castiel?
All I know is what I’ve made up and what has been in the script. I don’t have much backstory beyond that. I know that this is the first time that angels have come down to earth in 2000 years and that the Army’s of Hell are on the move which is why a higher power has deemed it necessary to send angels to earth to help fight the good fight. Angels have been around for a really long time, they’ve seen it all. They were around during the Spanish Inquisition and watching all of that happen. Not actually present for it but watching from above. They’ve seen all of human society formed for thousands of years so there is a certain knowledge and wisdom that Castiel brings, that Sam and Dean don’t possess.
