And then Castiel is holding up the "Sorry!" board game, and asks Dean if he wants to go first. I love the symbology in this. It's basically Castiel trying to communicate that they both did a lot of wrong, and how about Dean apologises first this time?
Thank you so much for this, for taking the time to explain your views on the symbolism of that scene. I didn't see it the first time around and then all the people on my flist going on about how awesome the Sorry game was, without ever saying WHY, yeah, that was annoying. Gotta say, though, the game scene between Dean and Cas affected me much less than did the later scene between Sam and Castiel -- that one with actual talking and communicating, rather than all the subtext of the game. 7.21 will probably never go down as one of my top-10 SPN episodes, but that scene with forgiving!Sam and accepting!Castiel? Beautiful. I'll never forget it.
Why would the Leviathans dig up the one relic that tells people how they can be killed?
To keep their enemies from finding it first, probably. Alas for them, with Winchesters around, the best-laid plans of mice and Leviathan . . . ;)
