Yes, this season really hasn't been their strongest. I always felt that S3 was the weakest season previously, but it may have just been replaced. :P There were a lot of good ideas in this season, they just weren't executed to their full potential (except, arguably, for Bobby's first death.)
And I agree about Bobby. At this point, I think they should have given him the heroes farewell after 7x10 and left it at that. As it stands now, his ghostly presence did not add enough awesome...but, as I said, it could just be that his storyline isn't over yet. Mind you, I won't really know how I feel about that until it happens...or doesn't happen.
Regarding Sam's comment about Charlie: Because he and Dean were trying to spy on SucroCorp, I assumed that once she hacked into the network, she gave them the capability to spy anytime.
Yeah, you are probably right. Ah well. I just liked Charlie. :P
Regarding Sam alone: I thought from Sam asking Crowley where Dean was that he had no clue. Crowley just answered about standing too close but that does not immediately say "Oh, Dean's in purgatory" or is there something I missed?
No, you didn't miss anything. I'm not sure if Sam's made that leap in logic to think that Dean is in purgatory. Crowley just said that those god-weapons "have a kick"...and that could just mean that Dean and Cas are dead...BUT there are no bodies...so, Sam MIGHT put it together quickly that they were taken somewhere. But yeah...we don't know how Sam's mind is going to work.
Regarding Cas: I am really liking the new Cas. While he was not able to discard the overcoat, I like his new philosophy, the wisdom he imparts and I have to think Misha is enjoying the change to this character.
I kind of like the new Cas too. Mind you, I tend to like every incarnation of Castiel. The writers have a fundamental problem with Castiel, because it's REALLY hard to write around a character that powerful...all the character variations they go through, I think they're constantly trying to find a way to diminish him without making him completely useless. I think it's a testament to Misha's acting that each variant of Castiel is believable and sympathetic.
