This week: 6x17 My Heart Will Go On, original air date April 15, 2011. Written by Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder, directed by Phil Sgriccia. In the wake of Rufus' death in the previous episode (we didn't cover it. Cas wasn't in there. You understand), Sam and Dean try to cheer Bobby up, fail, and decide to let Ellen handle it. “Now hold on,” you might say. “I know Ellen died.” Yeah, it's a new timeline, and in it, Balthazar chose to un-sink the Titanic, ostensibly because he hates the movie and Celine Dion, but actually because Cas needs the souls of the passengers' roughly 50 000 descendants to make him powerful enough to continue to fight this heavenly war he started. Creative problem-solving!

This week: BONUS BANTER, original air date today? I guess? Written by nobody, directed by nobody. Sometimes you just talk to your friends too long for it to be outtakes. Sorry about that. We made it a little bonus episode instead! Also as an apology for being gone for a bit due to unforeseen circumstances. So you get two episodes today, and if you don't feel like hearing us talk about things that aren't Cas, you can just skip this one. Mentioned in this episode: READ SPIRIT OF THE WEST BY TEEN_DEAN I'M NOOOOOOT KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!also try Heard From Your Mother (She Don't Recognize You) by rupertgayes. Good stuff!!

This week: Ghostfacers Webisode(s)!We decided to cover the episode in which Cas appears to the Ghostfacers, because we said if Cas was in there, we'd do it. This is less of an episode and more friends rambling while a dog tries desperately to derail them, peppered with mentions of the television show Supernatural and its main character, Cas.Mentioned in this episode:the Ghostfacers webisodesthe clip from the con in YorkTumblr: https://thecascast.tumblr.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/TheCasCastEmail: thecascast@gmail.com

I asked my cohosties if they wanted me to say anything in here and Ella said “Cas is hot,” which if you're here, I think you knew. Happy New Year! May it be prosperous and full of Cas, or at least Cas-related imagery, so you can pretend.

This week: 5x21 Two Minutes to Midnight, original air date May 6, 2010.Written by Sera Gamble, directed by Phil Sgriccia.As I write this the episode is exporting. Current estimated time remaining is 27 minutes and 49 seconds. At this point, that feels like a lot of time in which something could go wrong. One of us could get sick, or not be able to use their good, quality audio which they recorded on their phone all special. One of us' audio could spontaneously appear in the other hosts' tracks during the outtakes. The power could go out. Pestilence is truly upon us in this episode. I only hope hitting publish won't unleash a curse of some kind.Mentioned in this episode:Ella's Tumblr: deanhisnippleisout.tumblr.comJess' Tumblr: haloemoji.tumblr.comIlse's Tumblr: castielmode.tumblr.comJess' two Really Good Ones:thursday + the swordElla's incredible Supernatural playlists:i pick the music, the cw shuts their cakehole + remember how to stand up (dta playlist)Ilse's Too Many Playlists:just some guy

We also get really invested in Paul's love life!
