I had some questions on my livejournal and I was hoping someone here could help me answer...
In Supernatural 2x22 - When the Gate of Hell was open, how did the demons get past the devil's trap? Did they break the railroad tracks on their way out? How? If not, then what happened?
I think that in order for the YED to get in at all- the devil's trap had to be broke. Could Jake have done it on his way in?
I suppose he could have, but the break didn't seem anywhere near the road that Jake walked in on.
Also, to me it sounded like there was breaking/bending metal as the demons exited the devil's trap - the metal was still glowing red hot at the same time.
Could this be a possible continuity slip-up?
I just checked that spot (*hugs my Tivo*), and it does look as if the dark cloud that just emerged ripped through the train track, including bent and still-red-hot metal.
Perhaps it's similar to how Meg was able to do something when she possessed Sam to hold herself to him... perhaps evil in that large a quantity, fresh from Hell, could break through the devil's trap?
Yeah, the Hellsmoke burned right through the iron of the railings.
If they could do that, the devil's trap really was to keep demon's out so that they could open the gate. Because it sure didn't do a very good job of keeping the demons IN.
I think opening the gate opened the trap--it was all tied together.
I'm looking forward to less emo and more kickassery next season, frankly. I do love emo, but I think last night put me over the edge of the manpain. Neither boy is allowed to weep for at least the first half of season 3--learn to repress! Repression is your friend! Because then you can emote through destruction, which is more fun (for me) to watch.
A theory I have seen is that Sam's rage at Jake was misdirected rage about Dean's bargain, because he'd figured it out.
Repression is your friend! Because then you can emote through destruction, which is more fun (for me) to watch.
Definitely!! The emo is okay every now and then, but too much and the show just gets depressing.
Agreed. In a fit of pique last night, I watched Phantom Traveler from S1, and there was a big difference in the mood. I kinda miss the weekly ass-kicking.
Well, with these new demons unleashed on earth, I hope we get some more down and dirty ass-kicking. I do like the psychological games, but watching a character beating the crap out of another... even better!
