Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki in SUPERNATURAL Tease

• Tweet

Castiel, not the Winchester brothers or even Jensen Ackles and Jared Padaleck, seems to be the name on Supernatural fan’s minds. The plight of the character played by Misha Collins from last season’s cliffhanger got even more of a boost when earlier reports seemed to reveal he’d have a more limited role than fans would have expected or wanted in the upcoming season (Supernatural season 7 kicks off on Friday, September 23 on The CW).

A later released teaser from ComiCon showed us different though, showing what can only be referred to as a badass Castiel coming right at us for the season 7 premiere. The Misha heavy preview below, however, comes with the ominous tagline of KISS YOUR CASS GOODBYE, the key word I’m assuming being “your”. Collins isn’t the only familar face returning this season and it seems apparent that he won’t be the season’s focus with promises of a new villain coming to town. Past friends Kim Rhodes and Alona Tal will appear along with a trio of new faces from various corners of the Whedonverse in Firefly’s Jewel Staite, and James Marsters and Charisna Carpenter.

   Our minds are being screwed with by the Supernatural writers!
   Castiel (Misha Collins) will be a season-long presence, maybe even the “big bad,” and all of the red herrings thrown and false trails being laid down — to make us come to think of his demise as final — are bogus. Whatever. As long as SPN has great acting, writing, production, and fans, let the good times roll for Season 7! I cannot wait….!

   Castiel is not unanimity. Many people want Supernatural back to being about SAM AND DEAN again. But I seriously wonder if we’ll ever get rid of Castiel.

     I SO second this, i’ve seen millions of people write about how they want it back to basics, it’s just the loud few that try and shout down the opinion and pretend everyone likes him.

     Many of us have never been fans at all.

   Actually, many fans, like me, are tired of the Dean and Sam only show becuase most times it’s just all about Sam and Dean being all about Sam. It’s tiring and boring, since once again Dean has no storyline and without Cas, guess what? Dean’s all about Sam and Sam is, as usual, all about himself. Another boring season from Gamble, the most redundant showrunner on the network.

   At least Cas gave Dean something else to do and someone else to interact with. As it is, season 7 is already sounding like the bore that season 6 turned out to be.

     what are you on about? How is Dean all about Sam? He was living with a whole other family and had a whole other life at the start of this season so your argument has little merit. The poor Dean argument is the funniest and most ridiculous I ever heard. And the fact you like Cas for any reason is bizarre, he didn’t perpetuate any storyline for Dean he just stood there and people tried to ship them. Hilarious.

   I can assure you the name of at least one Winchester is on the minds of a lot of us. That is Dean Winchester, as in “Why in god’s name doesn’t Dean Winchester, a lead character, have a storyline?”

   Without Castiel, Dean is assured to not have any storylines, at least not any storylines that involve more than worrying about Sam and being all about Sam and being allowed to have no importance except for what he is and can be to Sam, except for when for the 4th out of 6 seasons the writers try to palm off some sort of half-arsed “soul searching about hunting” storyline off on him again, which will only be used to somehow build up Sam anyway – as though Dean hasn’t already *resolved* it 3 times before.

   So much for Gamble’s “promise” of not being redundant – everything revealed so far about this season is redundant and has been done in one form or another at least twice before by this show, including the 7th season in a row of yet another version of “What’s wrong with Sam?!?!?!” How about this? How about nothing be “wrong” with either of the Winchesters and the problems be OUTSIDE of them, which they have to fight against and defend themselves and other people against? That would be a nice change.

     More poor dean doesn’t have a storyline trope. He does you just don’t like it. For so many fans who claim to love the character you don’t seem to like him at all. It’s just so boring the dean – sam wars and the scary chicks that perpetuate them.

   I find his character irritating and have since day 1 he changed the shape of the show in a bad way. It was about two brothers and it became too big about hell heaven, angels, demons. Fans watch for Sam and Dean and the show will continue an be back to great if it remembers that and goes back to basics. Can’t wait for the new season and his character being toned back, it’ll sort the fans of the show’s original format to those hanger ons who like it for a bit character and I highly doubt it’ll change anything ratings wise except make them better. Great and brave move.

   Dislike Castiel immensely. Happy he’s gone, happy, happy days.
