Portrayed brilliantly by Misha Collins, Castiel was introduced in the 4th season premiere.
He has been a part of the series in some capacity ever since.
Sure, Cas has gone off the rails occasionally, but who on the show hasnt by this point?
Hes officially a part of Team Free Will.
Thirteen years is a long time, so inconsistencies are simply unavoidable.
That being said, some of these errors are more egregious than others.
Here are20 Things That Make No Sense About Castiel.
At this point, Cas is in a similarly safe situation.
For years, Cas was quite pop culture-challenged, but all that changed in season 9.
It’s funny, but it doesn’t make much sense.
Angel powers are basically written to suit the narrative.
Sometimes certain angels have specific abilities, but other times, or other angels, lack them.
Only angels can wield an angel blade– except when a human can handle one just fine.
Does he or does he not taste food?
The question isnt whether or not angels can eat, but whether or not they can enjoy food.
Gabriel has been shown to appreciate the finer things that life has to offer, including food.
Balthazar and Cas have also been shown to enjoy a tasty snack.
However, the latter has also stated that food tastes like nothing other than molecules to him.
Castiel has indeed eaten, and not just when he was influenced by Famine.
That is incredibly cool, but is there a reason why the guy barely ever gets a wardrobe change?
Hes not Charlie Brown.
We know that human needs like eating and sleeping tend to fall by the wayside during angel possession.
Perhaps that means that we take can also take sweat out of the equation.
How is he still in the same vessel?
According to Chuck, aka God, Castiel has been rebuilt more times than the deity can count.
Obviously, the practical answer is that fans love Collins, so he absolutely cannot be recast.
Season 6 is considered by many fans to be a series low.
Eventually, the show found its way, but there were plenty of hiccups in getting there.
A major one is the way that Cas was written that season.
It was an interesting plot twist, sure, but one that hardly felt earned.
Why was his vessel able to house Lucifer?
There are several questions about vessels that have yet to be answered by the writers in a satisfactory manner.
However, much like angel powers, the vessel criteria seems to be rewritten right along with the plot.
Speaking of which, how exactly was Jimmy Novaks former meatsuit able to contain Lucifer?
How did he grow a beard in Purgatory?
Apparently, Dean Winchester can always find the time.
Perhaps everything stops in Purgatory - it would make sense.
Maybe things like hair and fingernails simply cease growing.
The issue there is, of course, Cas beard.
Either both of them shouldve grown facial hair or they both should have remained clean shaven.
Giving a beard only to Castiel really didnt make any sense.
He may not have been in favor with Heaven, but he hadnt actually fallen either.
Perhaps the bone somehow understood not to take things too literally.
He was basically just a particularly clever and powerful demon.
