Who do people think is going to be the Big Bad of the season--Crowley or Castiel?
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Noooo! Raphael is the Big Bad!

Because books.
I think it's going to be a deep shade of gray all around. Part of the season's theme seems to be that nothing is exactly what it looks like, so I'm guessing Crowley is probably a little more good than we expected (or helpful), and Cas is leaning towards a little more regrettable, if not precisely bad.
A whole "ends justifying the means" and "road to hell" thing, where it's not as simple as black and white.

yesh.

It's weird to see him back there, back to him on a park bench denying that he's a hammer and Dean fighting for the individual's, screw the big picture. Except now Cas isn't someone else's hammer, he's forged himself into one out of necessity.
I love that Cas spent the whole ep covered in blood. Out out, damned spot!

Has Dean bonded enough with Castiel that he will be able to forgive him the shades of gray?
He did forgive Sam, but that's Sam, so it's a whole different story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think that Cas will be the big bad in a sense that he will need to be fought and vanquished.
In the end, he's fighting to save lives, so I think it's a matter of him doing it the wrong way, rather than having the wrong motivation.
I don't expect (and kinda don't want) Crowley to be better that he seems. I like liking charismatic evil characters. Fic whitewashes him enough.
Has Dean bonded enough with Castiel that he will be able to forgive him the shades of gray?
I think the writers will probably have him forgiven, unless Misha is being written out. It's not just about the bond, it's also about the motivation, IMO.
As for forgiving Sam, one of Sam's transgressions was choosing Ruby over him. I think that was a large part of what he needed to be forgiven for, so it makes the comparisons moot.

Are you kidding? CAS LIVES IN HIS ASS.

I hope ita is ok. If I ended a post that way, par for the course. ita trailing off like that worries me a bit.

I'm pretty sure that's just a typo, Gar. I wouldn't worry.

And, wow, seeing Samantha Smith play Eve really showcased how bland and awful Julia Maxwell is.
Ha ha ha, seriously. I hadn't had too much of a problem with her, but when she was called on to say more than a phrase or a sentence, she didn't really bring it.
Let's talk about how Bobby looks at unrelenting carnage in a bar and deduces that everyone died of a fever. WHAT.
