Ooo...I didn't catch that it was 50,000 and 50,000. Good call.
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.
Yes! I forgot to mention that in the post, but you are spot on. I really think Castiel was trying to "spin" this, so that it looked like Fate was the bad guy, and not Castiel for messing with things too much. He was trying to make himself out to be the hero that they should trust, and in order to do that, he needed to make those against him look like villains.
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.
It would be VERY interesting, but I'm not sure if it's something we actually want to see. It might be harder to come back from - because the show has already said that if Sam had never been born, then Mary and John would still be alive. Unlike Dean, who would sacrifice his utopia if Sam (or rather, his relationship with Sam) isn't a part of it...I'm not sure Sam would do the same if he saw John and Mary alive, and Dean happy.
