“I had my hesitations because I like the fish-out-of-water, dumb jokes, and I like Cas. I like the thing on camera that Misha created that complemented this new strain of creature, this angel coming into our world and gave a body and character to it. That’s a really great thing. But one of the rules of ‘Supernatural’ is loss, and losing things. You have to love something before you can feel its loss.”
—Executive Producer Ben Edlund
FUCK ALL THE THINGS, ALL OF THEM. FUCK, FUCK FUCK!
I’ll be honest, I haven’t properly cried since the finale aired. This has kind of opened the floodgates. Oh, Ben Edlund! You feel like our only real ally on that crew at the moment *sob*
Ugh, and I can just imagine Obiwan Edlund arguing with the others in the writers room and trying to convince them that this was a very bad idea. “But…but it’s Cas…and that would destroy his character and…all he wants is for Dean to be happy…and he doesn’t care about power just saving the world…and he’s so adorably awkward and…”
and then when he was overruled he was like “Fine. But I’m going to write the best Cas episode ever before you destroy him completely. And then I’m gonna direct it. AND YOU WILL ALL BAWL YOUR FUCKING EYES OUT.
I SAID GOOD DAY SIR.
I
SAID
GOOD
DAY.”
