I love that Crowley is just so good at his job. His new and improved Hell waiting line is awesome. I like it that he's realistic about his chances when it comes to Sam and Dean. His denim-clad comment is a pretty big put down from someone who was a tailor and cares enough about style to have had his own tailor later.
Sometimes not getting a sign is the sign, Cas. Or sometimes you get a bunch of signs that point out the edge of the cliff and if you still head to the cliff because you don't like what the sign says, you're probably going to fall off. This is especially true when the signs are being held by people who've already fallen over it, some more than once.
Dean spends a lot of time calling Cas a child and it's interesting in light of 7.04 about how Dean says Sam and Jo were just kids, hunters aren't kids, and that he was never a kid. He's been pretty rough with Cas. While it probably would have been more helpful to take a different approach, I can see why Dean reacted the way he did. It's a pretty typical Dean response. What little bit of self-esteem Dean has comes in large part from how well he feels he is taking care of his family. Cas didn't really give Dean a chance to take that role with him after Swan Song. He didn't go hang out with Dean while he was at Lisa's and Dean has never done well with being left behind by family. Cas wasn't able to help with Sam's soul either and he knew about Sam being back and he didn't tell Dean. Everything going on hits a lot of buttons for Dean that have him verbally lashing out. He's not a great communicator to begin with and add a layer of hurt on that and it's even worse. I also don't think he believed Cas could go that far off the reservation. When Dean finally saw that Cas was making some truly awful choices, he tried pretty hard to soften his approach and remind Cas about family ties, which for Dean are a prime motivator. Cas is part of Dean's created family, one not strictly of blood ties. By this point, Cas was just too entrenched (hee) to admit that he'd made bad choices or to turn it around.
Huh, that kind rambled....wanders off to get some sleep.
