I don't read the fic, but I do love the vids!

It's referring to the scene where Dean says Castiel has an erection. He gets a hardon from the porn, remember?

Ack, yes, of course the porn. That whole scene was so... icky. For me anyway, and it didn't have anything to do with any Dean/Cas overtones. I'm just not a fan of broad comedy and it felt shoveled uncomfortably in there. To me. I know others found it amusing.

I thought it was both hysterical and interesting. We know Cas has it in him to become a sex god. So it's interesting to me to see a burgeoning sexuality in him, after the naivete of the den of iniquity visit. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they introduced a love/sex interest plotline for him before the season's out. Though I'm sure it would have to be a new character. They couldn't go there with Meg.

You know, if she were cool, she'd be how I envisioned gender-swapped Sam.

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they introduced a love/sex interest plotline for him before the season's out.

I'm very intrigued by his line about wanting to be with Sam and Dean, and on earth, so much of the time. Wondering if that's a hint, actually.

I wonder if they could have him win the battle in Heaven, and then choose not to stay up there.

Or, perhaps, lose. Show would also go there.

I think the former is more likely, simply because he already rebelled/sort of got kicked out. But either way would be interesting.

I'm still wondering what the Big Bad will wind up being. Purgatory is a place, not an entity, so that seems like an odd choice. And souls are important and valuable, and someone could use them for Bigtime!Evil, but who?

So many things I want tied up, or at least hinted at being tied up if there's a next season.

It does seem weird that we don't have an antagonist, but we do have a mystery. There's some issue with souls and Purgatory, but no person. It's probably not Raphael, it's not Balty, Death doesn't know the deal, Crowley's dead...are they really going to introduce a completely new character in the back half of the season?

Exactly!

Oh, Friday. Get here sooner.

I'm wondering... the show has pretty much exhausted its ranks of infernal antagonists, and since Raphael is currently in charge of Heaven one hardly supposes he's interfering with the proper fate of departed souls. Are there any leftover opponents from previous seasons that might be mixed up in what Death was talking about, or are our options limited to Balthazar and/or someone we haven't met yet?

ETA: Beaten to the punch by ita while I was composing this post. Though I don't think Death is unaware of what's going on, just perhaps unable or unwilling to intervene directly.

What about Samuel?
