'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
But who was saying Meg's plan was for Dean to kill Sam? Because ... that doesn't make sense to me.
That was me. The scene in the motel where Meg!Sam was all put wrapping Dean's finger around the trigger was got me thinking that way.
I could see her wanting Dean to shoot Sam, planning to then rush out in a plume of black smoke so that Dean would know exactly what he had done.
I always thought that was the plan. Having Dean shoot Sam would get rid of Sam and effectively destroy Dean, in the most painful way (to Dean) possible.
I guess I figured the binding link would prevent that, though.
I think Meg wanted the perverse pleasure of becoming Sam, of torturing Dean with the knowledge, and torturing Sam in the process with the things she woud do. The binding link keeps her locked in there pretty effectively until Bobby taints the symbol with the hot iron.
It's entirely possible that the binding link just means she can't be forced out. She'd probably want to be able to vacate whenever she wanted.
Huh. After this ep, does Sam still have the burn scar, or did it disappear when Bobby frizzled it?
Maybe it was a magic branding iron to go with the magic lucky charms.
would get rid of Sam
Plus, if she doesn't give a "rat's ass" about the plan, it's a nice little fuck you to Demon Daddy Dearest.
does Sam still have the burn scar
Um... if he ever showed his damn forearms, we might know.
He does have the scar later, I think, but it fades.
I always thought the link was so she couldn't be forced out, but she could leave whenever she wanted to.
I'm only saying "she" because YED-in-John said "that was my daughter." I think it's funny we call that demon "Meg," when poor Meg McAllister was only a host body for that demon. And Stan, poor janitor-man, was only a host body for the YED. It bothered me some that Dean stood over Stan's body to say, "That was for our mom, you sonofabitch." Stan probably was a good guy who got shanghaied, as Meg did.
OK, so in the interest of... well, my obsessive personality...
I went back and checked, and there is NO chin wibble after "someday you will have to waste me." The closest thing is a mild wibble after "this whole thing is spinning out of control," which is a few lines later.
So, the chin wibble is probably from an unused take... which means that clearly, Kripke (or at least the previouslies editor) knows the Power of the Wibble.
