Hey Today is my "hells_half_acre-day", so you get me spamming you. Yay you.
(also, I'm avoiding writing my story, because my brain refuses to work right :-( )
I agree with your view on Cas and Dean. I've read all comments and your answers, so I won't repeat stuff too much. Basically, I wanna tell you how much Cas-girls annoy me right now. I mean, I liked Cas and I really found him a wonderfully hard-fated character. But like you said earlier: Personally, after writing him into my demented'verse, I realized how absolutely horrible it is for plot/tension to have such a powerful character in the story.
And if people in fandom cry now about his demise, then I can only say that those probably never faced that exact problem with writing a good story or episode. I mean, I have trouble with including BOBBY in a fic, because it's too easy, but Cas? Something as powerful as an angel?
Yeah... sorry, kiddos, but if you don't see how BAD Cas is for the plot-writing, then ... I can't really care about your opinions, either.
And that's not at all referring to his character, his flaws or who should apologize to whom. It's just this icky, annoying complaining about the fact that their character died that gets on my nerves.
I want Cas gone (and I wouldn't have minded if Bobby had stayed...), but I certainly want a nice episode where a) he and Dean can work out some of their issues and b) Dean can blow up in his face because of his issues.
Let Dean be mean, unfair and wrong - I don't care. I would LOVE a real shouting-match, one screaming at the other what he did wrong and how they abandoned each other. It's just ... man, for one, mouthwatering, and two, would be a great way to resolve their problems. AND (as a minor bonus) sooth some fans because BOTH can be unreasonable and unfair towards the other.
but letting it stand as it is... It'll be like Bobby burying Rufus. There'll always be regret tainting the memory.
