...there is still a LARGE part of me that really really WANTS Cas to go out in a blaze of glory for Dean (and/or Sam) like Ellen and Jo did...because THAT'S the ending I wanted for S06 and, failing that, S07 (although I was never sure it would work in S07 for various reasons). My mind always gravitates back to beautiful images of a bleeding Cas in Dean's arms (or at least beside his kneeling form), or Dean shedding a tear as they burn Cas' body etcetc. I've wanted that for a long time.
So, naturally, when this Purgatory thing kicked off those ideas came back and I thought - YES! This is their chance to do that! And for a while I was happy about it... still am a little excited at the thought of Dean remembering a dead Cas in flashback...
BUT. What you say here, and what others have said on tumblr, is an excellent point - because that story has been DONE with Cas, MULTIPLE TIMES. To try it again... well, if I didn't get the epicness from that storyline I wanted the last few times, the chance I will get it now is... slim. Not because Carver etc. will write it badly, on the contrary, I think he is the very person to do it justice, but because... it is TOO LATE to try that storyline now. It is already undermined by the previous attempts and failures :(
Everything I've heard so far spoiler-wise sounds good though and doesn't seem to be hinting at that kind of plot. Plus we know Edlund AND Carver like Cas. I think they will give him a fresh plot of his own. I am positive about next season still :)
