“Not knowing angel hierarchies, I will have to take your word for that.”
Trust me, you don’t want to get me started on why a “day angel” should be bottom-rung. :)
“What interests me is that he's not shown up.”
I can see two reasons for that:
1. He’s so powerful, he can’t walk the Earth without drawing attention. And they couldn’t risk that until the battle had begun.
2. There were restrictions preventing him from descending until the Final Battle.
Castiel did definitely kill those angel-bots, and he has been pumped up. My guess is that it was God who saved him, and he’s basically been given a field promotion. If those archangels went after him again, they might be in for a surprise.
I think God is taking a hand here. I think He rescued Castiel because C. was the only angel to show that he’s still loyal. He made a conscious choice to follow God and not his own bosses.
“It seems that, unlike previous versions of Lucifer, this one hasn't been running Hell.”
I’m not sure where you’re getting that.
Lucifer has been unable to return to EARTH all this time. That doesn’t mean he’s been inactive. If he wasn’t here, presumably he was there, in Hell. Ruling. So no, I think he’s been very much in charge, and orchestrating everything down the line. But yes, he’s a fallen angel (as opposed to most demons), which makes him different from them. And I’d like to see that played up, too.
