I didn't like the brothel scene, but I think it was Dean's character I was troubled by. Cas was his hapless victim along for the ride with no clue what vehicle he was in. I might have gotten carried away with the metaphor.
Dean felt OOC for me, but I'll buy ita's argument that he was f'd up with the absence of Sam.
That was the only motts moment for me this season.
How was The Song Remains The Same mottsy?
It wasn't. I was referring exclusively to Free to be You and Me. The whorehouse stuff.
It wasn't.
So what was wrong with him in the ep? How did they sabotage his character?
They fucked themselves, having the potential power lying around when the boys needed it
Precisely.
If they'd know know how much Misha would be fangirl catnip, I suspect they might have done a lot of early writing different. But they made him an Angel of the Lord and that's hard to write around when he's a sidekick.
Ugh. The stress of waiting for the finale and then knowing we've got a whole summer to wait. Ugh.
The whorehouse stuff never bothered me. I think Dean relates to Castiel as a human, because he knows that -- human desire is pretty much his default, whether it's for pie or alcohol or sex.
I do think Cas is a little bit of a baby duckling there, and by then in general -- he's more than willing to take Dean's lead. But I didn't feel that Dean was laughing *at* him in a malicious way, even at the end (although I agree with ita that it's certainly not the hardest he's laughed in a while, however you measure it). My take was that he was simply overwhelmed by his own foolishness in suggesting it, and Cas's earnestness with Chastity.

Yeah, it was very ludicrous, and ill-fated, and that warrants a laugh or three, but it was neither the be all nor the end all.
And, Cas--totally imprinted.
Would you mind pointing me to the smiles vid, ita?
Oh dear. Even that made me sniffly. While beaming, but still.
BOYS.
Smile 'em while you got 'em, Team Free Will.
Also sweet: let me repimp 500 Miles.
More BOYS.
