The New Big Bad

Supernatural was postponed this week by the CW! That was the anguished cry of 5 million fans heard round the world. We are slowly gtting over it as we know we will get our beloved show on February 4th, but still, the pain!

All that aside, we have been tempted by a story that there will be a new "big bad" introduced in the upcoming episode. I've been thinking hard about what type of creature we have yet to see. Mom actually went there and said:" What about the queen of heaven?" Woah, deep!

Then I was thinking about which entity would be upset that DEan and Sam constantly upset the natural order of things. This, coupled with a spoiler for a character named Atropos, led me to speculate that the Fates themselves may ge t involved in a world where the natural order is denied. The following was my thoughts:

I think I figured it all out.

There is going to be a new big bad. What entity have we not yet seen? Will it be female or male? What mythology will it derive from?

I think the Supernatural writing team has put their Bible back on the shelf and taken down a new tome to study. I’m going to speculate that they are going to use western mythology next and bring us a big bad that’s not so much evil, as it is grandiose.

I think it’s going to be the 3 Fates. Why? There was a character name spoiler for 6.16 “Your Time is Gonna Come.” The character was Atropos. That’s the Fate that cuts the thread of life. She is inevitable, she can not be escaped.

It is said she is even more powerful than God. So it wouldn’t be a stretch to say she is more powerful than Death. Nor would we be stretching if we said she was the entity making the list of who must be reaped. It would follow that she would be invested in the natural order of things and that the Winchesters, who have repeatedly broken the natural order, would be on her radar. I’m not completely sure what she would want, besides things to be as they are destined to be!

I also would speculate that no matter who the big bad turns out to be, it’s the 5th entity that can not be killed by the Colt (God, Death, Angels, Reapers, being the first four). Perhaps that’s why Sam and Dean travel back in time to meet Samuel Colt and learn the secrets of the gun.
