As far as Ruby goes, I waffle so bad. On the one hand, she's not betrayed them yet. They keep teasing like she might, but then it turns out to be a ruse or in their favor somehow. But she's still a demon, one whose reasons have been really vague and not entirely honest-feeling to this point. They are waiting to unveil something with her, I think.
Castiel is obviously more torn than he wants to seem. Dude, Misha plays him so well. He's just wonderful in the way he's multi-layered but finds it hard to let Dean beneath the surface of what he'll allow him to see. But you can tell he wants to have a friend in Dean, but he doesn't know how to do that. He's wise and naive at the same time, and he fascinates me.
*stops fangirling for a sec* But I know exactly what you mean. Castiel shocked the hell out of me when he was so determined to kill Anna. I couldn't believe he was being that cold and unrelenting after what happened with the last seal we know of. It seemed like he was siding with Dean... Then he jumped out and went against his wishes. I don't pretend to understand that whole deal. On one hand, he acts like they've been ordered to serve Dean as a general, then they threaten to send him back to the pit. I'm hoping this will get explained.
This is where the conflict comes in because both boys are clinging to people they shouldn't. Both Ruby and the angels should be held at arms length, at best, and they are being way too accepting of both parties.
You know, I've seen people get wanky over the fact that angels do appear to feel, but I have my own thoughts there. Uriel, for instance, is the personification of God's wrath. And I think that is why he carries so much "anger". He was created to be destructive, so it's not like it's a lightswitch he can turn off. I really need to write my character study fic for him at some point. In Castiel's case, I think he's inching closer to falling every time he hangs out with Dean. That man has that affect on people. :p Something in the way Dean was with Anna affected him, too. You could see it on his face.
We just need more answers! LOL! Come on, second half of the season!
