Has Dean bonded enough with Castiel that he will be able to forgive him the shades of gray?

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.

I copy and pasted that post together (it was going to be serial), and wasn't paying attention to whether or not I'd actually finished typing.

CAS LIVES IN HIS ASS.

It does need to be, uh, asscapped, doesn't it?

So did Cas pop up like that deliberately given what Dean had just said, or was he going for the sniffing-the-nape-of-the-neck-after-being-apart-too-long thing?

Hasn't Cas always had the tendency to pop up right behind Dean? We've just never seen in from that angle, pervy-style in it's full glory.

Rewatching Caged Heat: Whatever Cas' alliance with Crowley, Crowley isn't (obviously) on Cas' side. He was more than willing to kill them, and i would think that Cas showing up with the bones was huge improvisation on Cas' part, and Crowley was either game enough to play along, or their alliance, most probably, was so tenuous that Crowley truly thought he'd be roasted. All in all, I still like, extremely. For all that I've been wracking my brains about Cas' regrettable things, lying to the Winchesters is the most regrettable thing I can think of that means anything. And it's beautiful in it's shades-of-grey, greater-good, big-picture trappings.

Whoa! I finally got to watch. So Crowley is working for Cas if he said, "I'm tired of cleaning up your messes?"

It was nice to see Cas come back into his terrifying power again.

I had to rewind most of Mary!Eve because I was so giddy over seeing Samantha Smith that I kept losing track of what she was saying. Yeah, yeah, you're not Mary and you are evil, but, omgitsoriginalmarysquee!!!

I think that it's pretty fixed that I love John, Dean, Sam and her no matter what. In the times that SS has been on the show, has she played actual Mary any time other than the pilot and then when she consumed the evil spirit in Home? Other than that has it always been a trick?

Does Dean's Djinn dream in What Is and What Should Never Be count as a trick? That seemed like the real Mary to me.

I wanted it to be the real Mary, but it was what the Djinn was projecting into Dean's mind. She may have been memories that were realistic, but unfortunately not Mary.

I like to think she was like that all the times that we couldn't see her on camera though.
