Did everybody know about this but me?

[katysam]

I was listening to an interview with Misha Collins over at Slice of Scifi and I learnt something I don't think I knew. Actually, it's kind of weird because the more I think about it the more I think perhaps I did know but perhaps I've forgotten somewhere along the way...

Anyway. One of the interviewers mentioned that at the end of 'Red Sky at Morning', the second word Sam says during the ritual at the graveyard is 'castiel'. Of course, I had to check myself - and yep - he says 'castiel'. What's doing with that?

seriously!? wtf!!!

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Yep! At first I thought maybe it just sounded like 'castiel' but it's definitely 'castiel'. I wonder what - if anything - it means. :)

[bexta1989.livejournal.com]

Wow! I never noticed that before.

[katysam.livejournal.com]

I never noticed it either but then again I think I've watched 'Red Sky' a total of one-point-five times. Or maybe twice. ;)

Maybe they were just throwing out words.

I don't think it has anything to do with anything.

It just sounds latin mixed in with the other words *shrugs*

[katysam.livejournal.com]

I think you're right and maybe they just forgot they'd already used the word 'castiel'. MAYBE the word has significant meaning for one of the writing staff. You know, they had a pet bunny or rock called 'Castiel' when they were a kid. ;)

THAT. IS AWESOME.

[katysam.livejournal.com]

It's kind of cool and even if it doesn't mean anything in relation to the mythology, I think it indicates the word has some significance to someone behind the show. Surely a made up word doesn't get made up twice too often. :)

[bobbinrob.livejournal.com]

I knew that actually, but only because one of my flist speaks latin and was pointing that out early in the season
its very cool!

[katysam.livejournal.com]

It is cool. Your friend didn't happen to know what it meant - if anything. Is 'castiel' a Latin word? I know it's a place in Switzerland but that's about it. It's tricky finding anything about the origin of word these days because 9 out of 10 Google entries are Supernatural related! I remember Googling it right after 4x01 and there was nothing! *g*

[bobbinrob.livejournal.com]

no Castiel isnt a Latin word, it is literally a name, I believe the sentence was like "I summon and then the names one of which is Castiel :)

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Well, that is interesting. If it was used as a name in 'Red Sky', I can't see how it can't be significant. I mean, if the rest of the ritual was actual Latin then it would stand to reason Castiel could be a name. And then to have an Angel turn up with the same name. It can't be a coincidence, however, I guess it could be an oversight - they simply forgot they'd used the name before. :)
Thanks for the info.

Someone on my flist pointed that out when she happened to watch Red Sky at Morning on DVD at the beginning of this season. I think it's cool, but I don't think it means anything. But with Kripke, who knows?

ETA: Oh, BTW, speaking of Misha, how about these two caps? They're from 24. I found them on superherofan.net.

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think it's cool too. You're probably right in that it doesn't mean anything in relation to the show but I can't help but think the word must have significance to someone behind the show. It's an unusual word to be used twice.

Oooh, boy! That first screen cap... Why do I have the sudden urge to watch re-runs of 24?!?! *g*

[vella-amor-dm.livejournal.com]

i had NO IDEA! i wonder if it actually means something in the 'grand scheme of things'

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Me too - on both counts! *g*

I can't decide if it's just a coincidence or if we should be looking for a deeper meaning and a connection somewhere. :)

[deluweil.livejournal.com]

huh, I didn't know that either!!! *shocked*

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Me too!
Coincidence or not - I need to know! :)

[deluweil.livejournal.com]

We won't know until we can ask Kripke...

[whimsywinx.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link to the interview. That's an interesting show. And I hadn't caught that, I think.

[katysam.livejournal.com]

It is interesting. I enjoyed listening to the rest of it - not just the Misha part. :)

[kros-21.livejournal.com]

OMG, it's true!!! XD

[katysam.livejournal.com]

It's cool but also a little strange. :)
I wonder if it's just a coincidence or if it was done on purpose.

[emotikka.livejournal.com]

I NOTICED THAT!

When I heard Castiel's name in Lazarus Rising, I thought it sounded familiar. By coincidence I rewatched "Red Sky At Morning" AND LOL I FROZE.

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Well spotted! You must have a keen eye/ear for detail. :)
I haven't watched 'Red Sky at Morning' since S4 started and now I'm wondering if I would have picked up on it. I'd like to think I would but I'm not so sure. *lol*
