Cas in Syria - AGAIN
Guys. GUYS. You know how I bitched after 13x15 that an episode devoted to Cas’s adventures in Syria would have been better than the actual episode?
You know how we all pondered on how that adventure might have actually gone?
Well seeing as Scoobynatural is the GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING I did NOT EXPECT that we would get an ACTUAL STORY FROM CAS THAT I REALLY NEED TO HEAR IN FULL!
“Sam! Dean! I’m back from Syria with fruit from the tree of life! The tree was guarded by a pack of Jinn, I killed most of them, bargained with the rest. I think I’m technically married to their queen now”
I NEED MORE INFORMATION ON THIS CAS. WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS GETTING FAKE MARRIED CAS? WHAT WILL YOUR HUSBAND THINK CAS!!!
Sometimes these writers are far more clued into fandom than we give them credit for. How did they know that we would pick up on the one Cas comment from 13x15 and take it to heart and obsess about it? How did they know to therefore bring it up in THIS episode and give us such a wonderful and amusing summary about Cas’s adventure there?
(I assume that the actual script for this live action section was probably written AFTER the 13x15 script rather than a year ago with the rest of the Scooby stuff)
I mean what even is this? Other than a really interesting side commentary about Cas and his random fake marriages (one of which was to a woman named Daphne and therefore is another very apt callback in this episode)
How many people are you actually married to Cas?!? If anything this is yet ANOTHER nod to Cas being so desirable to all creatures in the SPN universe that getting married to a queen was a good deal for the Jinn even after he killed their kin!
But now I just feel even MORE robbed of an episode which sounds like it would have been one hell of wild ride from start to finish. I swear to god sometimes I think they should film a mini series for the DVD extras of just Misha as Cas doing all the things they reference him doing when he’s not in episodes...
...Riverboat Gambling
...Digging up pre-biblical lore in Gaza
...inadvertently marrying Jinn Queens in Syria in exchange for fruit from the tree of life...
I’ve been musing on this idea for ages about Cas making a load of allegiances in Season 6 with various powerful creatures and pagan gods to support his war efforts against Raphael, and I dreamed up this whole idea of him basically coming across Aphrodite, and winning her favour because he was so blindingly beautiful and fascinating that she took a major liking to him. I need more scenes of insanely beautiful queens and goddesses basically fighting to be with Cas and the whole time he is oblivious because Dean. lmao. Anyway I’m going off on a tangent...
I just can’t believe we were robbed of such a fascinating story where Cas accidentally got married to a Jinn Queen and it was literally a one off line in an episode about Scooby Doo.
What even is this show
