After the season opener...here's a thought:

We learned in the season opener that Dean is able to vessel an angel. So since it tends to be a genetic ability, we can assume Sam also carries this "gift".

It's an unpopular thought, but what if Sam agrees to let Lucifer in because he is willing to sacrifice himself to die by Michael's sword (wielded by Dean being Michael's vessel). I know, the annoying idea of the brother fight. But really, literary symmmetry? Michael and Lucifer were brothers. And of course Sam would die when Michael kills Lucifer, but because it is the ultimate sacrifice God brings him back and we get season 6 with Sam and Dean as humans again! I know, it's crack, but I had to.

One, two, three...what might be.....

I opted to use mostly real life Jared and Jensen photos (and a few from the show) while speculating on season 5 (which starts Sept. 10) !!!

Pure speculation based lightly on spoilers for season 5 and hints from previous seasons:

---Sam and Dean will separate,
but will reunite when they finally realize they are two halves to a whole.

---Dean will use Michael's sword to kill Lucifer, but only is able to b/c of something special in his blood. This something special might be in Sam's blood too and is the answer to why he had to be the one to let Satan out.

---There will be other angels who are on humanities side than Cas and Anna.

---Meg's storyline will be finally told...I mean why is she so darn jealous?

---Somewhere, someone else said they wanted God to be a powerful black woman...I can't agree more.

---The Trickster returns and he helps the boys.

---Sam is changed permanently by what he has done, but it makes him able to defeat Lucifer.

---But by the end: Sam receives redemption.

Bucket Load Of Spoilers...Season 5 is going to Rock!!!

Two very creepy/haunting promos are out there tempting the non-believer and driving the dedicated fan insane. Yes, September 10th is coming, and with it a post-apocalyptic Supernatural world.

Looks like I might get my wish both that Sam is metabolically changed for good and also that he will be hunted.

Oh, and then there is episode 4 in which Dean goes into the future and finds this:

And here I thought the Devil wore Prada! Yummy! Evil Sam!

Dean has a theme song! Season 5 is coming and there's a big fat spoiler vid out there! YAY!

Here are the lyrics to Free Will:

There are those who think that life is nothing left to chance

A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance.

A planet of playthings,

We dance on the strings

Of powers we cannot perceive.

"The stars aren't aligned

Or the gods are malign

"Blame is better to give than receive.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clear

I will choose free will.

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand,

The cards were stacked against them

They weren't born in lotus land.

All preordained

A prisoner in chains

A victim of venomous fate.

Kicked in the face,You can pray for a placeIn heaven's unearthly estate.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clearI will choose free will.

Each of us

A cell of awareness

Imperfect and incomplete.

Genetic blends

With uncertain ends

On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clear

I will choose free will.

Time to Speculate

OK, so here goes the embarrassing speculation for season five.

Ruby is an unreliable narrator. Just b/c she told Sam he didn't need demon blood to grow stronger doesn't make it true. Castiel told Dean that the blood would change Sam permanently. When Anna saw Sam in "The Rapture" she noticed that he looked different. She can see demons, was that what she saw as she looked at him? I think Sam has changed himself metabolically.

Sam and John are very similar. This point has been made many times but really was driven home in "Jump the Shark". If John knocked up a nurse, how much of a stretch is it that Sam knocked up the doctor? I just get a weird feeling that he made a baby.

Rufus got a mention in the finale....why? The finale always includes foreshadowing. I like Bobby's line: "He knows". So Rufus knows what? That Sam's practically the anti-Christ. That Gordon was right? Will the hunters all be after Sam? Spoilers state that Ellen is back, Rufus makes and appearence, and there's a casting call for yet another hunter.

And what about Dean? Is he Saint Michael in human form? Was this image from "Lazerus Rising" an intentional Christian Fish? Clearly this is the eye of God.

There may be limp!Sam in the early episodes. We can only hope for it. I'm thinking he might try to kill himself? Maybe Lucifer shows up at Sam's bedside.

Okay, that's it for now!

Where will the Sam Story Line Go?

You know according to the Bible the anti-Christ is not Lucifer, it's more like his hereld. I don't want Sam to be more evil than he has been so far, then he might be lost forever and become the antagonist of the story.

I would love to see hunters and others misunderstand him (like Gordon did) and hunt him.

Jensen Ackles supposedly stated that Sam's blood addiction story line is not over yet. The show starts up again in July, but I doubt there will be info until August.

Trying to convince the non-believer

How to explain Supernatural to the person who has never seen it…..with the hope of converting the unbeliever to the love that is Sam and Dean Winchester

There are two brothers, Sam and Dean, and they love each other more than co-dependently possible. In the very first episode, the older brother Dean goes to Stanford University to locate his little brother Sam because their dad is missing. Dad turns out to be illusive anyway, so what was Dean’s real reason for seeking Sam? Dean hates to be alone. Dean needs family to sustain him. Dean and Sam are two halves to a whole.

The Winchester Yin-Yang developed very early in the show. And that’s the crux of it: two brothers, ordinary men who do a very secretive job…they fight supernatural entities, basically protecting you and me. But as the episodes happened, a mytharc was unveiled. There was more.

Sam and Dean were actually chosen to serve a much higher purpose. First, it was revealed that Sam had some special abilities, he had visions of things to come…bad things, and he had so little control over them that the event usually happened after Sam dreamt of it. Eventually we learn from a demon…a very powerful one with Yellow Eyes…the very one that killed the mother of Sam and Dean….we learn that he HAS PLANS FOR SAM! Dun dun dun….

Oh yeh he has plans and in season two things get kicked up a notch since those plans aren’t of the angelic type. And then Sam dies! Dies in Dean’s arms and Dean (who can not be alone…I did remind you that they are very co-dependent) sells his soul to bring Sam back!

Season 3 we have an increasingly toughened and cold Sam making us wonder if the darkside is in his future and a resolute Dean who is facing Hell. Then Dean DIES! So now the brothers are even!

Season 4 comes along, as do the angels, and the idea that Lucifer wants to be free and suddenly this is no longer a simple story about two brothers who hunt evil supernatural entities. Sam’s powers are back and stronger than ever…Dean suffers PTSD and we learn that there is a prophet of the Lord named Chuck who has foreseen this all!

Is this all destiny or free will? The questions get deeper, the brothers get angstier and Lucifer is about ready to walk free. Then there is the finale and Sam and demon blood drinking… and OMG he didn’t ….and Dean is banging on the door to get in because he must save Sam (from himself) then Sam kills Lillith and the seal breaks and Dean gets in but it is TOO LATE BABY and it was all prophesy and is there even a reason to bother with free will and oh noes!

The white light! Lucifer is coming!

And THAT is why you should watch Supernatural.

Sam's gone full on darkside but his brother still loves him

Maybe Obi-Wan could have been less judgemental. It's not like Dean isn't judgemental, just something Bobby said got to im and he is willing to still love his brother.

When the Levee Breaks

Supernatural is the story of two brothers who have very little in this world but each other and a work ethic that includes puting the safety of others first. Unfortuntely the youngest brother Sam was infected with demon blood as a baby thus involving the whole family in matters much larger than themselves.

Sam and his older brother Dean fight monsters, but things change once Dean goes to Hell and comes back 4 months later. Ideologies change...loyalities change. Angels get involved and before you know it......the brothers divorce.

Their relationship is so co-dependent that their split ideologies make for discord which leads to the epic fight in 4.21 "When the Levee Breaks".

Mom thinks Sam is Evil

This is truly sad. My mom is as much a Sam girl as myself, but today I asked her: "Do you think Sam is evil?" And she said yes. She thought what he was doing was going to corrupt him and bring him to a bad end. She is also concerned that Dean will fall to evil.

This is my mom who couldn't stand to watch Sam in BUABS. She's usually right on target with her thoughts about the boys! :(

Sam's actions thus far have not been evil. He only uses his powers against demons. He's never harmed a human. He was reluctant to use the blood until after CAIADB when he couldn't stand the thought of Dean having to fight forever.

I like the complexity of having Sam fall to the darkside, but it is still very sad.

Pictures from the Finale

Sammy is just like his daddy in more ways then one! OK, so "Jump the Shark" proved that Sam was like John. I get the feeling that the finale will show Sam to be a lot like Azazel!

Look at this picture:

You KNOW You've seen this image before! Except this time....Sammy's doing the pinning!

Absolute Shallowness on a Cloudy Day

From 2008, really, what a body!

This is from the recent LA Convention.

Love the way they look at each other!

There ought to be a law about being this handsome!

I just love smart!Dean, so I added the last one where he is researching. Just love it.

Crawling in the Dark Looking for the Answers

Fictional stories of great people usually start with the average guy who turns out to be something special. Even if the story doesn't follow the typical heroes journey, we rarely read stories about the day in the life of the average man, cos that would be boring.

Not that are lives are boring, but even in our daily blogs we post the more note-worthy moments. That's just the nature of humans. We seek stimulation.

Supernatural has brought me more than my fair share! The following is yet another speculation based on the last episode i watched called "Monster at the End of This Book."

What we now know:

• Chuck (the writer) is a prophet


• There is a future in which the Winchester name is remembered


• Lillith does not survive to the end of the tale


• Dean is learning to have faith despite having to accept fate


• Sam can't defeat Lillith, nor can she take him


• Chuck's visions began in 2005 when Sam and Dean reunited

I have long said the boys are two halves to a whole. Chuck's visions began with their reuniting and have continued. His legitimacy is now show canon and thus if the Lord is sending him messages about Sam and Dean you can bet the Lord has had plans for the boys all along, it's just taken awhile for these things to come into play. Remember, Jesus didn't start his work until he was nearing 30, what was he up to before that?

Most heroes start out having the average life...then things get complicated.

The show gave us the concept of GRACE. I think Lucifer will rise (because I think Lillith is the final seal) and he will be human, but he won't be at full power because he will be missing his grace. I still think his grace is stored in both Sam and Dean. Dean holds the heavenly grace and Sam the earthly. With Sam's he can rule terrestrial realms and with Dean's he can rule celestially. Think about it, he wants it all, but has to get it from them.

The apocalypse is not Lucifer rising, it's him taking power and destroying everything as we know it.

Lillith wanted Sam to sign over both himself and Dean...a pair! Why? Her deal could have freed them up for Lucifer to take what he needed, namely his grace. So Lillith ends herself, opens the seal, Lucifer gets the Winchesters.

3rd brother? He's not of Mary's blood...the power the boys hold was given to them by their mother. The grace they hold safely.

Bloody ***in HOT !

I knew when I chose Sam Winchester as one of my bad boys I did not go wrong! In episode 4.16 "Head of a Pin" Sam drinks Ruby's demon blood to help add to his powers. That might have been hot enough, but in the next scene we see visual proof thatthe blood changes him as his eyes go from light to black!

And finally! OMG! Sammy shows us he's gotthe Force..and it's looking more like the hand of Vader everyday, because Sam can not only use TK and compulsion. He not only can exorcise....he can KILL WITH HIS BRAIN!

Yet, despite the fist of Vader (Sam, uh did you watch Star Wars)? I really wonder if Sam's powers are more angelic in nature and are only being corrupted due to outside influences (angels, Ruby and Dean's fear).

After "It's a Terrible Life" I think that Dean denied Sam and I think that will show up later this season. I have a bad feeling Dean will deny Sam and send him away or break them apart.

So I will wildly speculate:

There are 5 episodes left this season. They are titled

4.18 Monster at the End of This Book

4.19 Jump the Shark

4.20 The Rapture

4.21 When the Levee Breaks

4.22 Lucifer Rising

My personal fav title is when the levee breaks...I'm actually listening to it at the moment. I picture a really pissed looking Sam driving (notice he always looks pissed while driving)?

Here's the specualation:

4.18 Either an angel or the trickster made this odd book series happen. And/or Dean learns he's been wrong all along, there is fate and he can't change it. I don't believe the spoiler that Sam would sell off Dean's soul to Lillith. No, but his own, oh yeh. My spoils for this one are making it hard to guess, best wait out Thursday.

4.19 The brother is real and he is tainted by the Supernatural. He can't go back to normal (like Madison the werewold) and the brothers fight over killing him. Sam and Dean part here.

4.20 We see Castiel's life and the havoc Lillith is rendering. I think the boys will be apart.

4.21 It's gonna be ugly. This is the intervention episode. I don't think Bobby and Dean are going to succeed. I can only imagine what other powers Sammy has up his sleeve! Squee!!!!

4.22 Last seal???? Lucifer actually walks? IDK. But I'm leaning towards Sam being carved into the perfect instrument to defeat him, except I don't think it'll happen this season. I can picture Sam getting badly hurt (eventually they need to pander to those who kink hurt!Sam) and fighting Lucifer could be and should be extremely difficult. So Sam's in the hospital and DEan goes back to the room, but there is no Sam. He's disappeared! Where too, and how? IDK...works for me as a cliffie and you know this cliffie will be HUGE!

So that's my thoughts for now.

I'll leave with an evil!Dean the torturer:

Review of Deathwish by Rob Thurman

You see I believe in serendipidy, that's why I found this book. I was walking past it at Borders and I saw the cover. I stopped, pulled it out...loved the story. Two weeks later I went back a and bought it. Now onto the 4th book:

I’ve come to love the Leandros brothers. They are second in my heart only to Sam and Dean. Why do I love Cal and Niko? They are loyal to each other and those in their circle. They fight the demons without and within. They are fallible, they want to live in peace and will never find it. But they keep on trying.

I love messages of hope, I always have. Though I think it more likely this is about fighting the evil within yourself and staying true to your ideals more than anything.

And wow! In this novel Cal is really coming into his own as a monster. Cal has always identified with being human, but in this fourth book he is beginning to doubt the strength of his humanity. And when he discovers he’s wanted as an Auphe breeding machine he realizes he is truly the last male Auphe. The novel ends with it seeming that the Auphe have disappeared ads a threat, but this remains to be seen in future books.

The tension level is definitely lower. Yes, it’s kinda given that our delightful brothers aren’t going to die any time soon. Still, they go through all levels of angst and suffering. Especially Niko, who we now see as a little more human and a little more vulnerable. Niko realizes he will probably have to concede that little bro can handle himself.

There’s a little romance: Niko and his vampire lover Promise. Cal has a dalliance with weregirl, and Robin, our darling puck gets it on with his peri! Yay for the joy of love! For in this universe love might not last long.

I love the grayness of this series, and really, when your protagonist could be the embodiment of evil but choose s not to be…..that is grey and I like the idea that there are monsters human and inhuman. I really can’t wait for more!

Secrets

After going through the seasons with my mom, I realized we are the omniscient viewers of Seasons 1-3. As I sat there and explained: "At this time Dean had not yet revealed to Sam what his father told him." I knew that if I had watched the show in real time I might have wondered and guessed about the secret whisper from John to Dean.

So what were the past secrets? What possible secrets are we in the dark about now?

Things we never knew at the time the season was unfolding:

Season 1

Sam was a psychic kid
Sam had visions
YED had plans for psychic kids
Dad knew this
There were generations of psychics

Season 2

Dad told Dean: “save him or kill him”
YED wanted one leader
YED had multiple generations
YED fed Sammy blood
Mommy knew demon
Sam had no idea what YED was after

Season 3

Mommy had family killed by YED
YED was Azazel who wanted Sam to lead and talked about it in hell
Sammy and Ruby had secret meetings
Sam knew there was Lillith
Sam knew mom’s friends were killed
Lillith held Dean’s contract
Evil wants Dean in hell

Season 4

Ruby and Sam have secret meetings
Sam does something naughty to power up
Castiel must follow Dean’s orders
The demons wanted to keep Dean in hell
Dean remembers and enjoyed 10 years of being a torturer in Hell
The angels have something for Dean to do


I always love this old question:

How many things exist because we believe in them?


My huge point of speculation, b/c I've noticed, not only do Sam's powers freak Dean out, but anytime demons or the powers are involoved Dean gets edgy, mean, and quarrelsome. And that's all it's been for almost every episode this season.

Is Dean’s tension with Sam due to all those horrible things he heard about him in Hell?

What are the other secrets we as an audience have not yet had revealed to us?

A Sam for All Seasons

I tried to find the look that defined Sam each season. Season 3 was the most difficult since he wasn't very happy. And while Sam had taken to wearing a suit quite a bit in season 3, it's been a constant this season. So I chose to represent season 4 with a suit and tie look for Sam.

These are suppose to be attractive pictures.

Season One "HellHouse" Sam getting pranked on.

The hair stylists had a particularly good day with Sam's bangs in this episode. He was still affecting the innocent charm, the dimples and the puppy. Of course this is also the episode where we see Sam shirtless for the first time!

Not quite the innocent little brother after all! Wow!

Season Two "Heart"

Sam in a dark shirt. "Nuff said! Sam gets to play normal man and flirt with Madison. Too bad, she wasn't the normal one. Lots of great shots of Sam looking all uncomfortable as a beautiful strong woman comes on to him.

This episode also being a shirtless one in which we learned that sex unleashes Sam's inner demon (in a good way).

Season Three "Supernatural Christmas"

This one was tough to choose. This wasn't the season for gratuitous sex or shirtlessness. Sam didn't get lucky, but he was followed around by his fallen angel Ruby.

Season Four "Sex and Violence"

Sam's back makes yet another appearence this season when he is seduced by another hot sexy dark haired woman who knows what she wants out of life.

No more innocence, no more mr. nice guy, no holding back for Sam now.
