'Supernatural's' Misha Collins and Jim Beaver: Zap2it readers react

Zap2it was the first to confirm that actors Misha Collins and Jim Beaver will return to "Supernatural" in the fall for episodes of Season 6. Collins was promoted to series regular for Season 5, and Beaver has been a recurring guest star since Season 1.We were thrilled by the news. Beaver is a friend of Zap2it's, and Misha Collins is one of our all-time favorite drinking buddies. However, not everyone was as psyched as we were to hear that we'd be seeing more of the angel Castiel and the hunter Bobby Singer when "Supernatural" returns in the fall.
A debate sparked up in our comments between fans that were pleased by the news, fans that were not-so-pleased by the news, and fans that were downright angry.
Stuart wrote: "Worst news since swineflu. Why do they need Castiel back? He's totally unnecessary now the apocalypse is over. I'd rather gouge my own eye out than watch him deadpan and suck screentime away from The Winchesters ... Have some guts writers and stop making moves because you're afraid of how the fans will react."
Jeanne disagrees. "I'm so happy Castiel will be back. He's the best thing to happen to the show in years. I watch for him as much as Dean and Sam. The show would never be as good without him."
"Their presence is necessary for my happiness," wrote Alexa on Facebook.
Donna says, "I'm thrilled to see Castiel return, less so with that old whiner Bobby.(I still love Jim, just not the direction Bobby's gone in lately). Misha and Jensen [Ackles] just make the screen light up whenever they're on it together and I look forward to much more of Dean and his newly promoted angel."
The conversation even strayed from Collins and Beaver. Val writes, "If anyone's acting on this show isn't on par, it's Jared Padalecki's. I'm not bashing him because I think he's a sweetheart and very funny and loving in real life, but unless he's playing evil or something comedic, he looks constipated. Face twitches and practically melting your forehead [does not equal] showing emotion."
Yikes! Weigh in, "Supernatural" fans. Are you happy to see Jim and Misha back on screen? Let us know.

I think it is great that they are back but I want there to be definitive reasons for Castiel to return. And for Bobby, it has to be a long time since Chuck said in the last episode that it would be awhile for Bobby and Dean to see each other.
I am so happy Castiel and Bobby will be back for S6. The show gains so much with Castiel and Bobby. The addition of angels revitalized the series and added new depth.
I love them both and I wouldn't feel like the show was complete unless they were both there. They, character wise, bled just like Sam and Dean. The story hasn't really ended, its continuing, so they are needed just as much as Sam and Dean. Everyone needs to take a pill and relax.
Great news that both Castiel and Bobby will return in season 6. Too bad Cas got his powers back since it would have been interesting to see him adapt to a 'humanly' existence.
I'm thrilled to see them back and I'd love to see at least one of the exec-producers fall on their sword over that lame ending.... we wait all year just for Sam to fall in a hole and everybody else to pop up alive again. Lame.

You can never really satisfy everyone. If you don't like supernatural don't watch. Myself I'm so glad that both Bobby and Cas are coming back for Season 6, they are both a great addition to the show. Can't wait for the new season.
I think it's great news that both Castiel and Bobby are returning to season 6 of Supernatural. I would not be quite so interested in the show without either of them, especially Castiel, as I feel they lend so much to the episodes. I love Castiel's interactions with Dean and how Bobby has become like a father figure to both Dean and Sam. I don't think things would be the same without them, now.
I think it's great that both Castiel and Bobby are returning to the show. However, I hope they are used sparingly as it has a much greater effect. Castiel should be too busy running Heaven to assist the boys on every mission anyway.
Yeah, Bobby's become like a father to Dean, just like John.
