Me, too, Anne.
And yet I want to find out definitively who brought Cas back, and who poofed Sam and Dean into the plane. If it was Lucifer, as Raphael hinted, why on earth would he do that? He would have only been sending Sam, at least, away from himself. That doesn't make sense. And why bring Cas back when his position on Lucifer's return is pretty clear?
The talk about needing rebel angels is one thing, but there are more angels in the picture than simply the archangels, and Cas isn't one of them anyway.
We still don't know what Anna's angel name was, do we?
Todd has a theory that the reason we haven't heard about Gabriel at all is that (s)he's already in play. His theory is that Anna is Gabriel (she was Uriel's boss, right?), which is an interesting idea, I think. Not sure if they'd do that. I do find it odd that we haven't heard about/from her at all, since Cas is essentially in the same position as her, now.
I would also think that Lucifer would not want Sam and Dean together, even if he wanted them Not There. Separating them seems like a much more effective tactic.
Ooh, I like that theory. Very interesting.
I think the entity that brought Cass back to life is the same entity that pulled Sam & Dean into the plane. It seems to me that said entity was operating as a neutral party (to a certain extent) or would have only taken Sam (or Dean) depending on which side of the equation s/he is on.
I am beginning to wonder if this might be Michael. So many of the other arch(angels) are acting in his name when we don't really know what Michael himself wants.
Debt, I actually have thought that about Anna because Anna seemed so powerful. How was she so powerful, I wondered. I am still not sure about this notion. My fleeting thought now:
Is it possible that Cass is now Gabriel?
aww fuck. you are probably right.
I didn't get the impression that Anna was one of the four who'd had direct contact when she was describing the situation. I suspect Gabriel is someone else as yet unseen and unmentioned.
My money's on Lucifer being the fourth.
That does make sense, as the falling out seemed to be intensely personal.
Didn't Anna say flat out she wasn't one of the four?
I feel like, at some point, she said that she hadn't ever seen God.
