Expendable from beginning to end
This is just a rehash of bitter Cas feelings that's already been discussed, but I can't help it after reading this 5x21 dialog. It's unreal if you really think about the situation.
CASTIEL: Dean? DEAN: Cas? DEAN: We all thought you were Dead. Where the hell are you, man? CASTIEL: A hospital. DEAN: Are you okay? CASTIEL: No. DEAN: You want to elaborate? CASTIEL: I just woke up here. The doctors were fairly surprised. They thought I was brain-dead. DEAN: S-so, a hospital? CASTIEL: Apparently, after Van Nuys, I suddenly appeared, bloody and unconscious, on a shrimping boat off Delacroix. I'm told it upset the sailors. DEAN: Uh, well, I got to tell you, man -- You're just in time. We figured out a way to pop Satan's box. CASTIEL: How? DEAN It's a long story, but, look --we're going after Pestilence now. So if you want to zap over here...
@lerry-hazel pointed out in a comment: "they cheerfully went with "I guess Cas is dead" instead of trying to figure out if he needs help - even though they had no reason to believe an angel can die from banishing sigil."
Yeah... If they all truly believed Cas was dead, it was pretty callous that they didn't express any sadness about his death in any way in 5x19 or 5x20 (funny though, how it would then parallel 15x19 and 15x20).
What's more, Dean banished Castiel in 5x18. If he believed angels could die from banishment, that means he meant to kill Cas just to get his way (or at least OK with the possibility).
However, and not because that would be OOC of him, I don't believe that Dean really thought Castiel was dead. It was a convenient lie the three humans told each other to justify not giving a damn about Castiel's life.
Then, when Castiel turned up alive, there was not a hint of relief, just hostility. "We all thought you were Dead. Where the hell are you, man?"
Wouldn't the normal (decent) reaction be, "We all thought you were Dead. Glad you are not, man."
No. Dean was angry that Castiel had the audacity to be alive yet not at his beck and call.
Then Castiel explained that he was basically "brain dead" since Van Nuys. Dean did not even say one word to acknowledge what Cas went through. Cas woke up "just in time" to be ordered around by Dean.
Castiel was gravely injured, comatose, powerless, stranded (from helping his friends); the sailors were upset, the doctors were surprised, but these "friends" had zero reaction to any of it.
They had less than zero reaction to it. They demanded that he immediately get out of his hospital bed and help them half way across the country. Once he did that, and saved their lives and their cause yet again, Bobby berated him for being sad over losing his powers. "Are you really going to bitch, to me? Quit pining for varsity years, load the damn truck".
We sometimes say the Winchesters used Castiel as a tool. But people show more concern and care even for their tools. Castiel didn't need to wait till season 11 for Ambriel to declare him as "expendable", or till season 15 for Belphegor to point out the same; if this scene isn't proof of that I don't know what is.
--------------------------
Bonus 100% unnecessary footnote: How long was Castiel comatose for (from end of 5x18 to here, beginning of 5x21)?
I estimated 1-3 weeks. Castiel had been unconscious for 1-3 weeks.
I mapped the locations of each episode between Van Nuys and this moment: southern CA; Munice Indiana; western Nevada; sioux falls Indiana. If they drove without stopping it would take 80 hours. Considering they would need to stop even assuming they took turns driving, and also had to do a lot of things in the plot like staying a night in a hotel with all the gods of other religions and killing some of them, I very conservatively doubled the time to 160 hours, about 1 week.
If we go with episode airing dates then it's been about 3 weeks.

Crowley Tour: 16-18th April 5x20- The Devil You Know 5x10- Abandon All Hope 5x21- Two Minutes to Midnight
ID: Three digital drawings, each with two rough sketches of Crowley, on a pale peach background. In the first image, the sketches show Crowley standing behind a seated man. One shows him waving with a knife in his hand, in the the other he is pulling the man's head back and holding a knife to his throat. There is a title reading "April 16th: 5x20- The Devil You Know", and a quote reading “That’s what you get, working with a demon.”. In the second image, one sketch shows Crowley facing forward and smiling, and the other shows him holding up the colt and looking at it. There is a title reading "April 17th: 5x10- Abandon All Hope", and a quote reading “How about you don’t miss, okay?”. The third image shows one sketch of Crowley holding up a phone, with an image of himself and bobby kissing. The other sketch shows Crowley holding up Death's sickle. There is a title reading "April 18th: 5x21- Two Minutes to Midnight", and a quote reading “Hello? King of the Crossroads.”. End ID.

So my absolute favourite Crowley episodes are in order from earliest to latest are ...
Wait before I get there the problem is all of them except the episodes were Crowley gets bullied or worse are my favourites. That's a lot of episodes because the bullying of Crowley, rather than just general rivalry and enemy stuff didn't happen until season 10. So I decided to change it to only the favourites where I can actually explain why beyond "I just love it just because uh yeah it's amazing"
Abandon All Hope
Okay so this is the episode where we see a demon trolling a homophobe and as one of those woke millenials it felt like Crowley was the kind of person that would have a blog on Tumblr and give entertaining rants about the unfair state of LGBTQphobias and racism in the world
The Devil You Know
Okay so this is central to understanding pre human blood Crowley's character. You cannot write accurate and informed metas of prehuman Crowley without having knowledge of this episode in your subconscious influencing you
It is basically a character study. It tells you that he is brilliant as he persuaded someone who didn't fear Crowley or the Winchesters torture or death into telling them where Pestilence is. He got Bobby who is clearly intelligent into giving up his soul
He is dramatic and funny. "They ate my tailor!"
He is quick to anger and doesn't have much patience. "Shut up the both of you!"
He is willing for his allies to get hurt to achieve his their goals. "That's what you get working with a demon."
He is flirty. "Lovers in league against Satan."
He shows more emotional range than most demons we've seen. "So come with me. Please." However his ability to feel the full range of emotions from anger to fear even before the human blood is unfortunately a big weakness of his, because he doesn't think of all the ways things can go wrong when he is feeling strong emotions as he acts impulsively, and therefore doesn't think of contigency plans for them. When he's calm he's brilliant
See most people think Crowley is smug and arrogant and he can be those things. But often he isn't and it's just a cover up for his worry
He is badass. He fought and won against an entire hive of demons single handedly before he became the ruler of fallen humanity
It is also his character centric episode
He also shrugs off being shot with a salt bullet
Two Minutes to Midnight
Telling the boys that Bobby used tongue is a well known, hilarious and iconic moment. To be fair to Bobby he might have thought he needed to use tongue for the deal to work
This is the episode where Cas' first line to him wasn't something something abomination but a surprised "how did you get that?" the first active impression that Cas has of Crowley is curiosity on his ability to gain things that should be difficult to get. That meant Cas never underestimated Crowley even in later seasons when the boys stopped being scared of him because Cas' first impression is that Crowley is very able to achieve what should be very difficult or near impossible
Weekend at Bobby's
Crowstiel is my favourite ship but the chemistry rivalry between Crowley and Bobby Singer is undeniable. It was also kind of hot. "You come to daddy." Them both mocking each other's accents was hilarious
The Man Who Would Be King
His support for Cas and the fact that he made Hell unique from the other Hells we've seen. This is also the episode where we see just how much respect that Crowley has for Cas. He genuinely believes that Cas is able to lead an army and win the war. He respects Cas in every way and even when Cas was in his honey era stage he believed in Cas to help beat Dick. How do we know he wasn't just saying that? 1. Why would Crowley team up with someone incapable? 2. We see evidence both before and after that episode of Cas' intelligence and badassery 3. Iirc and maybe I'm wrong Crowley has never called Cas a moron. Something he has no qualms using on even people he thinks of as friends post human blood like Dean for example
Season Seven, Time for a Wedding!
This is Crowley at his most fearsome and respected. Dean fears him "oh, crap". His demons fear him "oh, crap" and his unexpected speech about wall street and integrity from a demon was ironically funny
There Will Be Blood
This is the episode where Crowley is one of the most crucial characters of the season. They need HIS blood [ along with Cas and the alpha vamps ] to save the world
Crowley and Cas deserve to be important
Survival of the Fittest
He wins that episode. He gets Kevin. Cas and Dean get trapped in Purgatory and if Dean was a random side character rather than necessary to the plot there wouldn't have been a way out for him
He also doesn't get bitchy when Cas said not in so many words "no thank you" to helping with Dick Roman
The Great Escapist
Crowley sees Cas and his eyes light up. That is good acting to make even your irisises gleam. The look was very affectionate. It wasn't a smug yes I have Cas now! Angel tablet let's go! It was a soft adoring look
It was also nice for Crowley to have a win. It also shows just how good his logical thinking is and how he can draw the right conclusions from the information available to him. Plus his devil bullet idea was a creative solution to not having to get within an angel's smiting range
Clip Show
He called the Winchesters out for their collateral damage and they needed to be called out tbh. That was so satisfying. This episode is also a reminder to us that he isn't just funny dramatic Crowley as he is also "the ruler of fallen humanity" and Crowley shows that dark side of himself
Devil May Care
He had been tortured with a sledgehammer and he behaved like his nails had been painted. Badass. What a king 💅
Road Trip
There is evidence suggesting Crowley wasn't trying his best to hack Gadreel in order to force Dean into a deal where he gets to possess Sam and therefore go free
The evidence is that he doesn't do as much twisting with Gadreel as he does with Alfie. The evidence is that the pins Crowley is using to hack Gadreel vs Alphie are on opposite temples
Absolutely magnificent bastard
King of the Damned
Watching Crowley be soft hearted for Gavin was so rewarding from Weekend at Bobby's
The Foundry
The episode you point people to when they ask why do you ship Crowstiel as a friendship or a romanceship?
They play off each other well humour wise. And rather than rolling his eyes or looking disappointed in Cas for the Beyonce name like Dean would Crowley decides to join in on the joke
Crowley finds Cas fun whereas Dean can find Cas annoying
LOTUS
"I agree with agent Zappa." This is where Cas engages with Crowley like they really are partners and was the beginning potential of a friendship
I also believe Cas would prefer being Crowley's FBI partner and I know what you're thinking "but Cas loves Dean" and look I love my partner and I would choose him over my online gaming friends but some of my online gaming friends are more enjoyable to game with than my partner is. It doesn't mean I love them more but in this particular circumstance i.e gaming I would rather game with them than my partner f
For example my partner doesn't really do activities with me in the game he just goes off and does his own thing
Dean rolls his eyes and insults Cas where as Crowley joins in like it's perfectly normal to refer to yourself as Agent Beyonce. He never goes out of his way to make Cas feel embarassed and I just feel like if it wasn't for Dean Cas would really enjoy being FBI partners with Crowley after Lucifer gets defeated as well

So I gotta ask, Dean. What exactly are you afraid of? Losing? Or losing your brother?
