James & Lars are both 43, 'tis true. They kinda look it, too. Metallica was formed in... '81?
I don't define Metallica as "classic rock", though they are a classic.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can see where Sam would want to wait a month, and I can see where she wouldn't. She's a killer. Killed more than one person. For a good person, that's hard to live with, and the fear of doing it again could drive someone to suicide.
I wonder if the boys have added anything to lore. I mean they go out and do the work, but have they learnt anything new to pass on to the other hunters?

Lore seems to be incredibly poorly distributed, overall. The closest we've ever seen to a trading post or general information clearinghouse is Ellen's bar, and that's not so great, you know? Nobody seems to write stuff down. It's all oral transmission of knowledge, sometimes facilitated by phone, but -- Consuela and I were speculating once, and I decided that hunters need to have a Huntercon, where they get together and talk best practices and have workshops and stuff.
Also, they desperately need a newsgroup or chat board.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The more tight-knit the hunters are, the more easily they could be subverted when one of them turns. It was pretty easy for Sam to whack hunters as it is.

Which is why I think a group of urban hunters would rule so hard.
I keep flashing back to the line in Crossroad Blues, where Dean says they know a little about a lot of things, just enough to be dangerous. How much they don't know really seems to be driving this season.
Hmm. Anticipating long thoughts on knowledge in my future.

Yeah, I'm thinking wekillcreepythings.net would act as a magnet for the more crafty and clairvoyant supernatural menaces that want to save time taking out numerous hunters at once.

There's also the part where we don't know what kind of people most hunters are.
Are they territorial? Are they specialists (that vampire-hunter seemed to be so)? Are they sorrowing freaks working out their secret pains with violence? Are they sociopaths seeking acceptable outlets to their crazy? Do they actually mingle with white supremacists, as Agent Gotcha implied?
I think it would be cool, in a show so concerned with the road, to have an episode about the road, about Travellers and Roma and migrant workers and truck drivers and the people who don't associate the word "home" with any one place.

Besides, if the hunters get organized enough, they start turning into the Watchers Council... with mullets and feedlot caps.

Which could be entertaining, in its way, but I think I'd settle for rec.sports.hunting.cryptozoology, you know? The hunters are disorganized to the point that it's actually dangerous. Sam and Dean thought vampires were a myth, and then they meet a guy who *specializes* in them. How many other hunters are facing stuff they don't know enough about, when there's someone out there who could tell them what they need?
