The Winchesters have this weird habit of being self-centered when it comes to the Apocalypse -- probably because it *did* center around them for so long. I do wish that Dean realized that if Raphael splatter Castiel like a bug once -- in the 4th season finale, which they saw the mess from in the 5th season opener -- he could do it again.
Yes, "Point of No Return" was the ep where Dean and Cas had the 'fight' (does it count as a fight if one guy beats the other guy with overwhelming ease?) up. Cas snarled "I killed two angels this week. My brothers. I’m hunted, I rebelled, and I did it - all of it - for you." Of course, Dean might not remember that, considering he was getting completely shit-kicked at the moment.
No, Dean didn't care what Gabriel's reasons were. *I* cared, because I liked the character, and I'm pretty sure his love for Lucifer contributed to his death -- he didn't want to raise his sword against his brother, and he died because he couldn't actually commit to killing him.
Yeah, he is, which is why I often want to slap Dean, and have an extremely hard time writing him with sympathy. And why I can't write Cas/Dean at *all*. Dean just doesn't come outside his own POV enough for me to think he could empathize enough with Castiel to reach out to someone who actually *is* alien like that.
