"No, you can't just mint money, Castiel. It's wrong, it's dangerous. And I won't let you." - I wonder how the transaction worked. Because he saved them, were their souls somehow his? How did he get the power from this act? It's true though, you can't just mint money - that's the leading cause of hyperinflation, depressions, and subsequent totalitarian regimes.
I found the number of 50,000 interesting, especially since we learn that Cas owe Crowley 50,000 souls. I think that by creating them, Cas did "own" the souls in a way and that he was fully intending on sending them to Hell to repay his debt, whether or not they deserved to go. Cas was trying to pay down his deal for Purgatory souls with human souls.
"Ellen and Jo?" "I'm sorry." "Hold on...so if you guys went and changed everything back, then that whole timeline it just got erased?" "Yeah, more or less." "Well then how come he and I remember it?" "Because I wanted you to remember it." "Why?" "I wanted you to know who fate really is. She's cruel and capricious." "I'd go as far as bitch."
I find this quote by Castiel to be very interesting, because Fate wasn't being capricious and although her death's were intricate, they weren't torturous or all that cruel. She was truly trying to reset the damage that Cas had done by unsinking the Titanic. Fate was clearly upset by the loss of her job, but she said she simply moved on an coped until Cas overstepped.
I am interested in the idea that was continually repeated that not being born is different from dying. Since Dean got the if Mary had live episode, I would love to see Sam get an It's a Wonderful Life episode, where he could see how the world turned out if he had not been born. So much evil surrounded Sam from 10 years before he was born. On some level I think Sam would have good reason to feel that the world would be better if he were never born and that not being born would be preferable to going into the Cage for however long he was there. I don't know if the show will ever go this way, but I would like to see it.
