I'm glad I read your recap first. I think a lot of other reviews on my flist would be too similar to me, a little blindsighted by the fact that they're BACK and Castiel's being bad arse and stuff. I wasn't really in a comprehensive state of mind when I watched it.
As much as I enjoy watching Kripke take the piss out of fandom, I thought it was a little too left feild. At least in TMATEOTB there was a reason for the crazies. I mean, people who are detached from all this - I know a few - would find the whole exchange really confusing.
Last night I was playing with the idea that there WAS no Castiel [you know, in the same way there was no spoon] and the relationship that was built in S4 was preamble to Dean agreeing to be the Sword. Except, yeah, your reasoning is way better.
The last thing I'd like to point out is, mmm, Jensen.
