You'll never know ...
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Oh, and Cowboy Junkies is the emo-est, but it was a weird band name to pick out of a hat, I think.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Is anyone besides me just a tiny bit displeased that they deviate from the standard angelic names for ones that seem to prefer/default to a female host? I mean, why not Saraqael instead of Naomi? The angels themselves aren't supposed to be gendered creatures, though they use "brothers" as a default descriptor rather than the neutral "siblings."

They do seem to be using Biblical names, though -- Rachel, Naomi, etc. Michael and Gabriel aren't especially angelic, either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Marcia--put it on my tab.

But we do explicitly know popular angels Gabriel and Michael. I don't know anything about an angel Balthazar or Zachariah, so I hadn't been thinking of it as a female host issue. It seemed fucking lucky Castiel is an angel's name, and even so, it's only barely.

Right. I only meant Michael and Gabriel don't have the -zar or -iel ending. Which I guess is ... angelish.

I've seen variations of Balthazar as a demon's name, so I guess that has mythological precendent, though Zachariah too seems to be using a Biblical human name.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

OH MY GOD.
This is a sign that I should not be editing today. And possibly not operating heavy machinery.

The -el ending means "of God." There are people that contend that Dean nicknaming Castiel was an important part in redefining him and his loyalties, given what he stripped away.
However, I don't recall the first use of the name, and I'm curious about it. Not yet curious enough to dive back into early season transcripts.
