twistedsardonic:beccadanielle8d:Do you understand how these things work? How they sequence scenes specifically and intentionally to connect things together? (If you don’t… how are you functional?)“Why’d you resurrect me?” To answer the question, it cuts to scene where Benny saves Cas.Why do people do anything for anyone? Because they owe them, or because they’re nice. Dean’s not buddy-buddy with vampires - or anyone - so the latter is out of the options. More or less, Dean bringing Benny back to Earth and to his own body was giving him a life. That’s pretty huge. What did Benny do for Dean to owe him a life? Immediately following the question with the Benny-saving-Cas scene is the answer - but how? He saved Cas’ ass, not Dean’s.That’s just a five-second clip of what the angel means to Dean. Say what you want, Cas isn’t important, Cas is insignificant or irrelevant or just another face in Dean’s life, but this says otherwise. If saving Cas’ life meant Dean felt in debt to Benny for it that much (because how easy would it have been for Dean to dump Benny once he got to the other side - who would’ve known?), that means Cas’ life is valued pretty damn high up there for Dean. I don’t know how some of you still don’t get that.Yes, this. I’m not the huge Benny fan that the rest of fandom seems to be, but even I’m worried/excited by the Benny/Cas connection. Benny left Purgatory after saving Cas’ life, but with Cas still remaining behind. It isn’t unreasonable to speculate that Benny will return permanently to Purgatory to help Dean save Castiel once again, only this time he remains while Cas escapes. It is symmetry. Benny’s role will be complete once Dean and Cas are reunited once and for all. This is one of many reasons why I don’t want Benny to return in Season 9. If it plays out as I’ve speculated, his exit is more powerful as both catalyst and sacrifice for Destiel becoming canon. I can’t get over the fact that both Dean and then Benny referred to Purgatory as pure. Purgatory is a pared down existence. Nothing matters but that which is necessary for survival. And Dean needs Castiel (Cas, buddy, I need you), not as a physical means to survive—because we saw him surviving just fine without him, and we know that Castiel was a Leviathan magnet and hence not the safest Purgatory companion—but as a means to go on. Cas is Dean’s spiritual means for survival. He was the motivation behind bothering to survive. Benny was perhaps a manifestation of that drive to find Cas and to go home. Benny is pure intent and it doesn’t escape me that Benny can’t survive very well in the real world. He loses focus, he starts to crave blood. As Dean is separated from Castiel and Benny remains on earth, both lose a purity of purpose that can only be regained when Destiel happens and Benny returns from whence he came. This all makes a whole lot of sense. I just want Benny on Team Free Will: Volume II for a little while before the Destiel singularity arrives and Benny disappears in a flash of light/pool of blood or whatever. -- source link
