I think it's implied that's what he did with the 50,000 he got from Crowley - tapping into them to charge up for that surprise attack instead of bowing to Raphael
It's implied they were used in some way. But where's the indication they went through him? They may just have been fed into the war machine Rachel mentioned.
Crowley mentioned it being quite a coup for him to take 50,000 of them to Heaven with him, so apparently he has some way of transporting/transfiguring them along with himself. I'm just assuming the mechanism is similar to what we saw with Bobby.
I rewatched Mommy Dearest this morning, and had a Duh, but Hey! moment-- when Cas was interrogating the Jefferson Starship in the jail cell, he was effectively human. but was still a BAMF, at least when it came to torture.

Well, we know they make briefcases that can carry them.
I'm not saying they don't go through him--I'm just saying we have no evidence that they do. It could be for the weapons Balthazar was holding and they just feed into that, or he could be amping himself up. Remains to be seen.

What I liked about that moment was that Bobby looked at him like "But what can you do?" And then...he did what he could do. Because he's hardcore like a boss.
Interesting that the angels had to turn to Dean for interrogating a captive in Season 4, and now one of them is apparently better at it than Crowley.
ETA: I just read that Lauren Cohan's lawyer/angel pilot that sounded like a SPN spinoff wasn't picked up by the CW.
New marketing poster.
Neither was the zombie hunting sisters pilot.
Man, it is weird watching Castiel and Donna from That 70s Show have sex with each other and terrorize victims.
The movie Misha said not to watch. Karla.
I can't even begin to contemplate Cas' fate, where the show might go with him. I'm all nerves and nausea. I think that I agree, though, that the best scenario is some situation rendering Cas human. Maybe a big sacrifice, or a "back from the dead one last time, now don't fuck it up, because it's for real next time: you're mortal now". And recurring guest star is fine, because, honestly, that's what he's been as a regular cast member, RL baby or no. And it takes the pressure off of how to fit him into the story, and how to depower him so he isn't always the deux ex machina. And has endless potential story-wise.
And so, they'll just kill him. Maybe after he's been human for an hour.
Thank god I'm overwhelmed with work, or I'd be an insane mess.
Sam, Dean, love you, but you are SHOW, not worried so much 'bout you.
