This is when we all fell in love with Castiel. When he really became Castiel, the way we know him.
And Jensen also gives an impressive performance, delivering emotion beautifully - we get deapth to Dean here on a whole nother level.
This episode lifts the angels higher than they ever were later on - they are so much more than demons, they are superior. In later seasons that got very flattened, probably because a majestically powerful angel befriending out heroes was a difficult status quo to carry on with constantly.
Misha is so perfect as the feeling, unwillingly compassionate rebel angel (and good looking too!) that Supernatural could never do without him after this. But I also noticed that this episode was written by Ben Edlund, who also introduced Crowley to the show. And actors need good dialogue and story to shine - so cudos to Ben aswell.
