Classic BYG is really about more than just the fact that a gay character dies, just like "Women in Refrigerators" doesn't just mean that a secondary female character dies

It's not just that he's gay and that he dies, it's that he reveals that he is gay *right before he dies*, and that he dies *because of this revelation* And that he explicitly describes his confession of love as a tragic secret he had to keep until he was ready to die

At least in terms of Castiel's situation they directly made it into an equation Being gay = suffering, coming out = death

[more explicit spoilers] Like also that might be a fakeout the -other- way but “all the dead come back anyway here’s the three main characters dealing with that. this has been episode summary” is not exactly subtle so I’m wondering if they gambled wrong re: people… looking ahead

I haven't watched the show for a few years but skimming through the plot summary from last night, and the cast list for the season as a whole, and considering that there are two more episodes left in the show, I find it hard to believe this would be a permadeath

It's possible he could be appearing as flashbacks or a ghost or something? But idk. I don't have articulate words yet but it feels like the wrong narrative shape for the final button on a show that's spent as much time as SPN writing love letters to its fandom, successfully or no

...or idk I guess they /could/ just be planning on setting everything on fire on their way out the door as some kind of ~catharsis~? I've been trying not to dip too deep into the spoilers and hadn't heard the part where they were killing like /everybody/ this week

No they literally killed *everybody*, the ending of the last episode shows that Earth has been completely depopulated and Sam, Dean and Jack are the only human beings left in the universe

This is the kind of thing that would've had more impact if they'd done it *before* Infinity War and therefore all the reviews wouldn't have just said "Yeah it's a Thanos Snap"

It's actually kind of funny that "Thanos Snap" is now a more accessible term for this trope than saying "the Rapture"
