Storyline

- TriviaThe Dispatcher, who is Bobby Singer's demon counterpart, is named Ellsworth. Ellsworth was also the name of Jim Beaver's (Bobby) character in the TV Series Deadwood (2004). A nice bit of symmetry.
- GoofsOnce again everyone seems to conveniently forget that Castiel did not need to go to the trouble of finding and burning Crowley's bones in order to kill him. While it is the only way for any normal human (who doesn't have an angel blade, the demon blade or the Colt) to kill a demon, angels can kill a demon using their blade, or by smiting them if they are a Cherub with access to the power of heaven or are a powerful Seraph like Castiel is. It did not make any sense for Castiel to need to burn Crowley's bones to kill him, he could have either stabbed him with his blade or smite him. The fact that he went to the trouble of putting on such an elaborate and unnecessary display should have made them suspicious from the start.
- ConnectionsEdited from Intolerance (1916)

Boring and Overrated Episode
Castiel recalls that he would never defeat the powerful Raphael and why he has associated to Crowley to get more power. Meanwhile, Sam and Bobby suspect of Castiel, but Dean refuses to believe that his friend might have betrayed them.
"The Man Who Would Be King" is a boring and overrated episode, certainly the worst so far in this Sixth Season, with existentialist crisis of Castiel and an excessive melodrama of Dean. In the end, Castiel has become a Machiavellian politician, selling his soul to the demon to make arrangements and get more power exactly like in real life. My vote is five.
