Well, first of all, let me shout: "Bravo"! I had to read all the ten parts today, I just couldn't stop. You've perfectly nailed Castiel's feelings and doubts, and the format (text, quotes and pictures) was really good. Sometimes a picture says more than a thousand words and intensifies the strength of the words, so the fact that you combined those together was really meaningful.
They've started to take him for granted, their heavenly help who turns up when they need him and who never asks for anything in return.
This. So much. I mean, this is probably what pisses me off the most. After everything Dean and Cas have been through and after what Castiel sacrificed for Dean (and Sam), how could he take this much for granted? I know Dean probably was mostly focused on Sam and the Apocalypse but the fact that he never acknowledges it directly or even indirectly... it drives me mad.
And then the final scene between Cas and Dean in the car. At first I was upset because well, after all, they didn't had a proper goodbye... but then I thought that probably for Cas it wasn't really a goodbye, because he'll continue to keep an eye on Dean and because he'll see him soon enough in heaven (we know time flows in a very different manner for these supernatural beings).
I'm really happy that we get a season 6, I'm curious to see how their path will cross again and hopefully their feelings regarding some things of the past and the new things, of course. And to see how Cas is gonna be involved again in the Winchester's lives.
I'd love if there was the chance to see him interact with Gabriel like you said in one of your entries and, generally, to have him interact with other angels too, in order to understand him more and see other traits of his personality. And I'd also love to see an insight on his past, on how his life was before meeting with the brothers (but I'm afraid this is just hopeful thinking!). I'm also curious about the fact that he's in a full angel mode now, even more powerful than he ever was. But I'd expect him not to go back to 4x01 Cas, this would be a huge step back.
Ugh, I've just realized that I've rambled a lot. Sorry about this, but it tends to happen when you like a character so much. And to think that, back in the days, I was ready to swear that I couldn't possibly love a character more than Dean! And probably the fact that I love Cas so much has also to do with this, with the fact that he cares so much about Dean and they share a deep connection :)
