Of all the things a person could conceivably object to about the way this has played out so far, naming Cas a Buried Gay isn't on my own personal list, as I'm 98% certain he isn't dead for good. Are the optics of Cas dying literally seconds after confessing his big gay love not great? They are not! Is it possible that Cas *will* ultimately die For Good so Dean/the writers never have to actually deal with his feelings? Not only possible, but likely! But for now, with two eps to go, it's premature to lump this one in with the Buried Gays, IMO.
