That was a pretty badass move, and I like that they reminded us about the sigil earlier in the episode to make sure that we got how awesome that was.
Of course, does this mean that any time Castiel touches his chest now, he will banish himself?
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If he's bleeding, maybe. But normally he can banish without disappearing himself. So this is new juju.
I've seen speculation that he's dead and Adam's not. I'm kinda hoping the converse.

Because books.
NEITHER OF THEM ARE DEAD.
Ahem.

I'm not sure how the show can make Jake coming back work, except maybe as Michael's temp vessel. I can see how that might drive Dean to change his mind and say yes.

Castiel's totally not dead. I have no investment in Adam, but Castiel goes nowhere this early in the season. Dammit, not after his brilliance in the episode.
I need to say again, I loved Sam this week. He was just so grown up and sensible.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm not a fan of Wincest and I didn't see it in the context of the show last night. On the other hand Dean/Castiel was pretty loud.

I'm not really invested in Adam as a character, but I do love the possibilities he represents in terms of how Dean and Sam could save the world.
I still want to see if Jessie (superkid! antichrist!) plays into this, because that was a serious smoking gun.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't think Castiel can be dead, just because it happened so quickly that he didn't get much of a send off, and I don't think the show runners would do that to either Misha or the fan girls.

I don't think Castiel is dead. I just think he went where angels go when you activate the sigil.

I agree, Perkins. And I don't think simply because his body was where the sigil happened to be would kill him.
It would be nice if they explained where exactly angels go when they get zapped like that, though. Also, HOT plan. And Cas telling them to bring it? ::happy shiver::
