I thought Jimmy was kind of boring but I also feel bad for him, which is why, if he's still around, I might actually need Cas to go back to Heaven when the apocalypse is over; he can't just steal Jimmy's body for his own selfish reasons. *sigh* SADNESS. WOE.

BAD-SQUIRMY happens every time I think about this, lolol. Like you said, it would be total bullshit; breaking their own story for the angels because whenever someone who is male (-shaped) and someone who is female (-shaped) care for each other, it has to be sexual, jkshfjfghjfd. Romance storylines are boring, partially because they're usually so contrived, and partially because they're so predictable - oh, attractive man, attractive woman, I wonder if there will be a romance storyline here, how unsurprising and heteronormative. (I'll be especially annoyed about this if they treat the angels as not only not-asexual, but gendered, even when that goes against prior canon - Castiel had no problem possessing Claire. Asexual and genderless characters? THAT'S something that feels new, and I'd hate for them to toss it and the family dynamics for same old same old.)
