I am so happy I did not frighten you off, you have no idea. I freaking love geeking out about this shit. Rambly response to follow.
Message without the message. Like an empty bottle, set adrift by someone paperless, hoping his cry will be sifted from the bottles tossed overboard by careless cruise passengers, knowing it won't. Unless it is. Maybe not so much killing the messenger as making him unable to deliver the message. (God's voicemail is full! Or, The voice says I'm almost out of minutes. :P)
As regards to centers holding or not, this show does seem to be heading towards a rather Yeatsish apocalypse: the best lack all conviction, while the worst/are full of passionate intensity. Oh!, and the falcon cannot hear the falconer. Because their orders aren't coming from God. If the last episode of this season is called "Christ Rising," I will laugh.
Cas would be the android. Defying God's laws (humans:robots::God:angels?), or subverting them, maybe. Obeying the intent but not the letter. Maybe he hasn't realized that he's a hammer with one of those removable handles with the screwdriver set and a flashlight inside. (Or maybe he's a secret spy hammer with a hidden recording device!) I really need that poor kid to find his dad already.
You should totally keep on this, if it's still with you. I'm excited to see where you go with it.
P.S. God-as-Pygmalion is awesome. He sculpted the world, and fell in love with it, and it turned out to be a boozing, passive-aggressive cheat with abandonment issues. But it's full of such beauty that he can't leave, so he just hides, and watches. Cas-the-first-draft doesn't flow quite right. He has an alarming number of dangling modifiers and sentence fragments, but he's run spellcheck a couple of times and learned not to trust the automatic grammar correction, and God thinks maybe it might be okay to give it another shot. Maybe. Soon.
