Now that Cas is one of the gang, he's... too close?
I think that Castiel has become part of the 'people I protect' and thus not someone Dean feels he can ask or demand that kind of help from.
At first resisting the blood, but eventually succumbing - he showed a lot of strength in this episode. To the point of refusing to consume demons, during the final confrontation.
I liked how Sam was handled too. Even under Famine's influence, he was able to resist going completely out of control with his urges. It implies that he'd normally be handling his blood addiction well -- no one else was able to overcome their Famine-induced wants, not even Castiel.
Jimmy is apparently still in there.
I was glad to have the confirmed. Maybe angels absolutely have to have a human soul in their Vessel for it to work right?
The destiny angle is pushed again. Cupids are heavenly matchmakers
See, I thought that Cupid admitting that Heaven had matched up John and Mary had totally undercut Michael's "It was destiny" speech from last week. It's hardly Destiny if Heaven has to keep *meddling* to get the results they need; it's more like have the cheat codes and abusing them shamelessly.
Sammy's powers are still there, waiting to come out and play. His powers don't work on a Horseman. Two big revelations for the price of one.
I'm hoping they do more with Sam's powers. Ruby did say he "didn't need the feather to fly" -- maybe his powers are going to be useful later on. He certainly used them creatively to deal with Famine, which I liked. Human ingenuity should be a big part of how the Winchester work against Heaven and Hell.
Regardless, I love the very existence of heaven's matchmakers, and all the ridiculousness that comes with them
I could have done with the Cupids being called 'cherubs', because the SPN writers are totally inverting traditional angelic hierarchies, but I did like the one we saw. It seemed so innocent and daft, and indicated that the lower orders of angels really have*no* idea what's going on. Is it wrong that I'm kind of hoping that the news will get around, and Zachariah will have to deal with a rebellion in the ranks from the lower angels who are still loyal to God's order of 'love the humans'?
The Castiel thousand yard stare, combined with the mad Jimmy NOMining.
He was adorable with his eating and his utter seriousness. I was seriously freaked out in the dinner, when Famine called Cas Dean's "dog", because him being on the floor eating raw meat just made that insults too blatant.
