“I’ve made mistakes. But haven’t you? Haven’t we all? At least give me a chance.”

Gadreel, oh Gadreel… ;_; I loved this character from the minute he first stepped onto the scene and I guess much of it has to do with how Tamoh Pennikett brings that angel to life, who was imprisoned for centuries and really just wanted to redeem himself but trusted the wrong people out of naivete.

The way he averts his eyes and hangs his head. Really it has something so childlike, so young, so vulnerable. He looks so relieved and actually close to tears and thankful for them appearing to taking him in, hearing him out. Maybe not forgiving him, but at least giving him a chance (to explain himself). And that was really all he ever wanted, isn’t it? A chance. And maybe something like friends and a family as well. Love…

He made mistakes. Without a doubt he made mistakes. Mistakes of epic proportions (just like the Winchesters and Cas, which is why he actually is a perfect fit) and has oceans of blood on his hands as well, but he is trying and he just wants to do good. He wanted to do good all along, but he was misguided, was deceived.

So once again he is finding himself all alone – dying, unable to redeem himself – due to his decisions, due to poor judgement (though how would he know any better if he was imprsioned so long – he just grabbed the first option, trusted the first person who came to hiim, gave him a chance) when actually all he ever wanted I think might have been to feel that he belongs…
