1. I think this season may be the one that converts me to wincest. Sam and Dean are being all hurt/comforty and profound bondy and Dean's other boyfriend is gone now
Which leads nicely onto my next point
2. Are people SERIOUSLY flouncing from fandom because of Castiel's 'death'? REALLY? Seriously, I am 100% sure he will be back before the end. This isn't because I have secret insider knowledge or anything. It's just obvious. It's exactly what they did with Crowley. Ain't no way no how Cas is being written out like that. So, please, calm yo tits.
3. I am hoping against hope that this is a setup to bring Gabriel back. I mean his is the one famous for taking down the Leviathan and so far nothing seems to be working against them. Sam and Dean need to bring Gabriel back somehow and he can defeat the Leviathan and save Cas (who I am 95% sure is their boss) and then Gabriel will give Cas the choice about returning to Heaven and staying on Earth as a human. Obv he will choose to stay and then in S8 (if there is one) Sam and Dean can teach him how to be a hunter.
Yes.
