I think the biggest issue is that Crowley is a popular character...i.e. they're going to find reasons to keep him around rather than following the 'verse logic strictly.
I agree. I think the show runners would be foolish not to recognize the value of actors who interact and play well with the fans. I'm quite sure Castiel and Crowley are still around not just because they're great characters but also because the actors bring so much more to the table than just the role.
They've said that's one of the reasons Castiel's role got expanded, too.
I'm still so tickled we got to see Sheriff Mills again, I'm just gleeful.
Skipping to gripe about the DVR not catching this week's ep. Not a fun thing to discover when I'm settling in to watch.
Ah, well... off to find alternate sources.
(edited because grip and gripe are not the same thing)
It would be funny if Cas griped Dean tight, though.
DVR fail = well, FAIL.
Anne, you were totally Kripke'd, babe.
P.S. I know what I want for Hanukkah: more Bobby and Rufus.

I was howling with laughter during the phone scene.
The other thing that got me howling with laughter was the idea of a Gavin MacLeod who died when his ship sank.
BOBBY! I would totally watch the Bobby Singer show. It doesn't even have to be the Bobby & Rufus show; just Bobby, being awesome. Yes, I am biased.

The Loooooooooooove Boooooaaaat soon will be making another ruuuuuunnn...
I think it is interesting that thing was filmed first, to give Jensen the time he needed, but was the fourth episode of the season. I need to do yet another rewatch to see on Sam carries himself. I know there is minimal screen time for the brothers, but not having filmed the stuff that has us all "Sam came back wrong" and yet having Dean call cause something is wrong with Sam makes me want to watch their appearances more closely than usual. Well, with more story purpose than usual.
Oh, ha, I kept trying to figure out how Gavin fit into Highlander.
