I'm always worried about my response to Dean and Cas scenes I hear you. I am always worried, too. Usually it works out okay, though. Most Dean-Cas scenes I can take or leave, they just breeze by. However, when the writers suddenly inject this overdrawn pathos into their interaction I feel angry/incredulous. I mean, unlike with similar scenes between Sam and Dean, there is just nothing in canon that carries scenes like that between Dean and Castiel. And I am frustrated that the writers don't see that.
I believed more in Dean and Benny in a few eps than I have done in Dean and Cas. I think in the case of Dean-Benny it actually helps that we have no background information. Dean tells us that Benny is his friend and we have to believe him, because we have no evidence to the contrary. With Dean and Cas, however, there is a lot of history for us to deal with and some of that history just stands in the way of emphatic assurances of friendship.
The other problem with that scene is that Cas could have easily just taken the tablet once it was out of the box. He's and angel after all. Instead we had all that angsting just for the sake of giving us that "moment". OMG this is so true. I thought 'why doesn't he just pick the damn thing up and leaves'. /sigh
Apparently Robbie researched for the episode (using the Wiki) so he would know Crowley's history. I didn't know that. Why on earth doesn't he just watch the episodes? I love the SuperWiki, but you won't get an accurate impression of a character, if you just read up on them. I really hope they will refrain from any more retconning. Making Crowley a fallen angel would result in so many inconsistiencies. The fact alone that angels, fallen or not, need consent for a possession, and Crowley clearly didn't need it when he possessed Linda Tran.
