And yes, that was definitely a beautiful moment. I'm not surprised they gave Jensen some space in how Dean dealt with it, nor am I surprised at his decision. Beautiful. And as with so many moments on this show, ultimately a little hopeful.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

I must have internalized the idea from your post without remembering the source, which obviously wasn't even far back. Oops.

Trust my rage
Is anyone else expecting to see the trenchcoat hanging on a hanger over Dean's shirt or with the Samulet on a hanger?
I want someone to draw that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have seen so many trenchcoat drawings around so far that I can't even draw one, even though I'd love to. Petite madame has been there, so what do I have to say?

Because books.
I'm over the Dean / Brokeback comparisons already, to be honest.
And I think if anyone has the amulet, it's Sam.

Dean with the trench coat, and Ennis with Jack's shirt (Brokeback Mountain).

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I see the trenchcoat hanging out with the missing leather jacket. Not Brokeback style. They just need a hoodie from Sam and a trucker cap from Bobby.

OMG. I totally haven't seen that precisely (re: Brokeback). I want it, now.

Hmm. Somebody on my flist just jogged something I recognized but hadn't actually articulated in all the other stuff going on. It may be nothing but getting evil into the water supply, but Cas walking into the reservoir did remind me of a baptism scene from a dozen movies--Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, Big Fish, etc.
The prevailing theory is that Cas himself--his soul, or whatever passes with an angel for a soul--is in purtatory, and that the earthly body created in Jimmy's image simply dissolved in the water when the evil left it, and all that was left was the coat.
The imagery though, was one of baptism, of transmuting from one form (corrupted angel, evil) to another, (freed spirit). That the evil was washed from him the way a believer's sins are washed away, leaving Cas' spirit cleansed and able to enter heaven.
Maybe that image is due to my upbringing in the bible belt, but it did register at the time. I don't know which theory I lean toward--I guess I'll wait and see what canon says. I do believe we'll see Cas again, though, and in his familiar form.
