A little speculation...


We are a few days less than 4 weeks from the return of season six of Supernatural. Or in golf terms, the back nine. We've had all our preliminary lessons on the monster breeding and world domination theory, we've seen that angels fall into 3 camps, and we've also seen that there is a high value on the human soul. Death, himself appeared and encouraged Dean to continue his "intrepid" detective work in finding the meaning behind these souls. And Death, a being clearly as powerful as God willingly retrieved Sam's soul from the Cage.


Along the journey we found that Crowley was behind finding alpha monsters and supposedly getting Sam's body out of Hell, but then we learned he was all talk and no abilities and Castiel fried him up extra crispy. So I guess he's out of the game. Alpha monsters not only have taken a liking to Dean, they seem to have a connection to him also. Once you are in their camp, I guess it builds a connection to you. Perhaps this will come into play as Dean's story of discovering not only the deal with souls, but why the Alphas are on the rise. And I can't help but wonder if the answer to the location of purgatory is related to the idea that the fairy realm is an ultraterrestrial location overlapping our own.


Maybe Dean will need to explore his connections to the monsters.


I could say the same for Sam. After spending considerable time in the cage likely attacked by two angry archangels on a daily basis, all parties involved say he is likely very damaged. I believe Death said his soul was "filleted". So Death puts up a protective barrier in Sam's mind so he will be shielded from the worst of his memories of his torture. But what if the answers that Sam and Dean need are found behind that wall? Sam is a constant liar, will he hold back on what he knows or go the self-sacrifice route? Will he want to go there to retrieve it and Dean will protest, and there we have our season cliff hanger.


Until 28 January! Peace, love, and speculation!
