And now, while season five has in some ways shown us Castiel as a tragic and impossible figure, I find him less tragic and (even) more compelling. His story is one of devotion, dedication, doubt, anger, and hope, all held in tension together. I tried to imbue this vid with those contradictions." My favorite bits are at 1:10 to 1:20, 2:00 to 2:07, 2:15 to 2:20, and the last few seconds - oh god, what a haunting, awful reminder of the inevitable - but really, the entire thing is fantastic. WATCH.
And now, off to see the new episode.
