First off, regarding how Cas knows exactly where they are without all the exact info. I just assumed Cas already knew their general location, as in what city/town/state they are in, because Dean keeps him up to speed, most of the time. So if that was the case, he probably only needed to know the name of the hospital. I always chock it up to something that happened off screen, cuz you know when the cameras are off there’s a lot that goes on between Cas and Dean, and Dean and Sam, and all three of them, so that’s how I choose to fill in those kind of blanks.
Anyhow, I freaking loved that bit where they were both still on the phone and in the same room. lol Priceless! <3
“Or he is willing to drop everything as soon as Dean calls” Is it wrong I don’t find this out of the realm of possibilities? XD I think you have it right though. Yes, he is looking for God, but let’s look at it this way… You are on a search, driving around, fallowing leads, looking for a store that sells the best muffins in town (I know, trivial, but stay with me lol), when suddenly your cell rings. You answer to find your best friend on the other line in need of help, help only you can provide. So do you keep looking for these muffins, which you know you are going to need in the future for a party, or tend to the immediate situation and help your friend? The way I see it, the muffins aren’t going anyway, and you can always keep looking for them later. Right now, your friend needs you, and that’s all that matters. :3 I think, on a much grander scale of course, it’s similar for Cas. Yes he wants to find the muffi-, er, God, but that’s something he knows is going to take a while, so in the mean time, helping Dean and Sam does have to come first, for a lot of reasons, but most of all because he cares about them. And so, Cas is always on call. ^^
“That something interesting we learn there: Jimmy is still around, trapped inside his own body without any control.” That was never stated definitively one way or the other. This has been a topic of dissection for a while now, and I’m still under the belief Jimmy is no longer with us. Castiel, by saying his vessel, Jimmy, was craving red meat, simply meant to imply that this body is still Jimmy’s and not his own flesh and blood, which doesn’t necessarily mean Jimmy himself is still present inside it. What an angel needs to be compatible with a vessel is in the body itself, it’s in the blood, not the soul or consciousness of the person, so it makes sense that whatever or whoever brought him back also needed to bring back this specific body for Castiel to inhabit. Something I always assumed, but Michael touched on this in episode 5x13. Of course, who can say for sure… for now it’s left up to the viewer to interpret as they see fit.
I think whatever effects of becoming more human that he was feeling, or is, or will eventually start to feel is due to two things… one is on a more mental level, as he himself is being influenced by living among them, among Dean and Sam, and by the things he is learning and experiencing. But also, as he loses more and more of his angelic powers he becomes more susceptible to the feelings and needs of his physical body, perhaps partially because he is losing the ability to sustain it on his own, and the fact his own soul is becoming mortal, it’s all just starting to take a toll on him. We’re basically seeing the early stages of what happened to him in “The End”. This is my theory anyway.
Super interesting theory regarding how Dean may have actually been affected by Famine all along! I too was kind of puzzled by what was said, because he was acting odd too, just in a different way then everyone else. Very thought provoking indeed, I bet you’re right.
Wow, I had thought the exact same thing at the end of that ep… so true. This is why I was upset when the screen went to black without having a real exchange between Cas and Dean, that needed to happen (thank god for fanfic). You are right, for Cas, Sam and especially Dean are all he has, his family… and that’s something I don’t think Dean is fully aware of. Anyhow, completely agree with you 100% on this topic.
