I was also pretty underwhelmed by how quickly Mother came and went. They tried to build her up, but then she went down with little fanfare or visible impact to speak of. She was very much an off-screen threat, though I was actually pleased by the simple explanation of why she'd come out of Purgatory.
The show is a little unclear on exactly their lore re: age of angels, if it's since the beginning of the world or if there were in fact other creatures around before them. I get the impression that Castiel is a much younger angel in comparison to the others, though, so perhaps Mother meant she was older than him specifically?
I'm interested in the idea of Castiel going dark side, I think that would be a fun twist. Cas' personality seems to directly correspond to how empowered he's feeling at the time; it's pretty funny to watch.
S5 got too inflated on its scale of importance for the writing and world to keep up with; it was very rushed. They did a fair job of wrapping it up in the end, but there was still much they shoehorned in with the analogies between Sam and Dean with Michael and Lucifer. I also have my fingers crossed for a better season finale this time around.
Now that I've heard Adam's coming back in Season 7, I'm all for it! :D I have no idea what they'll be doing, but if Cas if the new big bad they have to contend with, it could be an interesting struggle. I think it would extend Gamble's intent to bring the story back to a character level and let the boys muddle through the conflict of trying to reconcile Cas as the enemy, if Show went that route. I would love to see Lucifer and Michael again, but I think the chances are slim. *sad face*
(I like secrets and I'm happy you thought you could share these pairing preferences with me! John/Michael, especially, mmm... <3)
