Man I can get wordy sometimes. Mwahahah, I know the feeling well. It scares me how long my recaps tend to get these days!
Angels, in my understanding, are designed to obey and so I'm not sure Castiel realized he had a choice until Dean convinced him otherwise. It's true...but also deeply frustrating because we had already seen him learn that lesson once, in On The Head Of A Pin, so regress him back to square one just so he could learn the same lesson all over again feels terribly circular (plus I'm never going to forgive The Rapture for pushing all meaningful character development either to the fringes or off-screen entirely). I just hope we see some solid forward development for him next season, rather than continuing to go around and around in circles.
It really is much deeper than most people outside of fandom realize. :D Ain't that the truth! Too many people look at the surface only...
Thanks again for stopping to chat - I'm always happy to talk Show *G*
