Heaven Can't Wait: A Reaction

There is going to be a pattern in my blogposts from now on. Every time a new episode of Supernatural airs that I feel strongly about, I will be compelled to write out my feelings. Like now. After watching episode 6 of season 9, "Heaven Can't Wait," I have many many feelings. Unsurprisingly, they are mostly about Castiel.

Poor Castiel was booted from the bunker by Dean, who was only trying to protect Sam. Honestly, I believe he should be trying to protect him from Ezekiel, who is PROBABLY  Satan. Cas is a helpless human now. He needs help. What did Dean do? He kicked him out without making sure Cas had a way to take care of himself. He left him all on his own.

Granted, he seems to be coping. Except he is homeless again. Way to go, Dean. You ass. I love Dean, but this season, he has made some poor choices. Didn't he learn that lying to people, especially important people like Sam and Cas, is a bad idea? I see a massive train wreck in the future. First, all these lies about Ezekiel. Sam doesn't even know Dean let an angel (WHO IS PROBABLY LUCIFER. JUST SAYING) posses him. Dean decided to be a douche and not tell Cas that Metatron's spell is irreversible. Wow, Dean. You're only going to hate yourself more when this all catches up to you. Seriously, I thought Dean was getting better. This is going to reverse all that healing we saw him experience.

This season has brought a lot of change, especially for Cas. He was thrown into humanity, stripped of his grace, and is expected to be normal? He isn't normal! I want to see Cas kicking demon and angel ass once more. Please. I also want him to get the trench coat back eventually, and to be happy. I just want all of the characters to be happy. I'm hoping that will happen by the end of season 10, even if it all means they are dead in heaven. Together, please. They are a family.

Cas was such a cutie this episode, though. That is an undeniable fact. I just miss old Cas. I welcome this character development, but I do want him to get better, too. I don't want him to stay helpless and in pain. I mean, obviously he's in pain, right? He feels lost and useless, and Ephraim could sense his anguish.  He never catches a break. I mean, did you see him tthinking he had a date? Then it totally went to shit. Pretty much like anything he tries,  the poor thing.

There were some scenes this episode that didn't seem to fit right with Castiel's character, but I am going to choose to ignore their awkwardness and call it growth.

AND CROWLEY. Addicted to human blood? Our King of Hell seems to have completely fallen from authority. Poor guy. I love Crowley. Sure, he's mister evil demon, but he's fair. Compared to Abaddon, who is stealing souls without contracts. This new taint of humanity in him is intriguing, and I am excited to see where the writers take it.

Overall, this was a good episode. I welcome any chance to watch a new episode of this show, particularly if it include my favorite character.
