Especially now that we all know he’s coming back (for a little while, at least).
Part of me just wants to be a grumpy old man* who gets pissy when someone discredits an entire episode just because their perfect little flower wasn’t included (there’s way more to this show than Cas, for crying out loud), but another part of me feels like that’s a bit harsh because everyone enjoys the show differently and everyone’s entitled to their opinion etc etc.
I love Cas, and I’m jazzed about his return provided it’s not just a ploy to appease the rabid part of the fanbase, but some of his fans get to me at times.

*Not actually a man.
