Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the review, as I am quite happy with it myself. *g*
The whole interaction felt real and resonates with the deep emotions they harbour. Exactly! Adam's presence brings so many interesting facets to Sam and Dean's relationship, simply because he is a blood relative. No other random character could ever serve in a similar capacity.
If you were to consider that Castiel had spent thousands of years as an obedient angel (...) I do consider that. As I stated in my review, I completely understand where Castiel is coming from, and I don't find his behaviour surprising. That doesn't mean though that I have to like it. Castiel shows no compassion for his 'friend' here. He beats a man who is down already, simply because he cannot handle the consequences of his own decisions. I mean, he witnessed Dean's downward spiral with his own eyes and still isn't able to comprehend it, only seeing his own needs. I think it bothers me so much because the main theme this season is all about redemption and taking responsibility for past failures - both Sam and Dean struggle with this all season long, while Castiel shows no sign of comprehending his own failures. I find that very frustrating. /sigh
I find myself seeking spoilers Heh, I am the opposite. I don't want to know anything about the remaining three episodes. Usually spoilers contain information that are taken out of context and can be very misleading. I know I would only worry myself sick over stuff that might not even come true. Nah, better to stay unspoiled. LOL
