I was really hoping that Gabriel would be this cool 'messenger of God' type of angel, like he is Biblically, but I guess not. :(

yeah, same. preferably a woman, too. idk why i was so taken with the idea!

haha. i know! i loved the boots detail.

there's already a castiel/gabriel comm. i facepalmed. i think i'm phisically unable to ship cas with anyone except dean. side effects apparently include being blind to any sort of incestuous subtext, existing or made up. but nevermind that.

i sort of want them to bring back anna, cause i like her, but don't because i fear they might try to push cas/anna and that's the biggest DNW ever. just. no.

i sort of think cas is more of a strategist nerd-type rather than a super-warrior (given how he totally sucked at fighting last season), and the reason he's good with traps and loopholes and angelic tricks in general is that it's his job to know. :p but eee cas!link! :D :D that image made me so happy.

my vote still goes to lucifer, since i don't know why gabriel would care about cas getting chunky souped, since he's so adamant on not taking any sides and such. at least lucifer could try to bring cas to the ~dark side~ or whatevs.
