The rules of jus in bello (or justice in war) serve as guidelines for fighting well once war has begun. Some maintain that morality does not exist in warfare, and therefore object to just war theory. War is hell, the argument goes, and one is entitled to do whatever is necessary to ensure victory for one's own side. Just war theory, on the other hand, sets forth a moral framework for warfare and rejects the notion that "anything goes" during times of war. Belligerent armies are entitled to try to win, but they cannot do anything that is, or seems, necessary to achieve victory.[1] There are restraints on the extent of harm, if any, that can be done to noncombatants, and restraints on the weapons of war.[2] These restraints aim to limit war once it has begun.
Ha. Zap2it called last night's episode the "season finale." That's not good.
Tagline from the TWOP recaplet:
Or Assault on Precinct 21 Jump Street
I like the character of Bella- straightforward
I don't trust Ruby, demons seem to evil and only evil. they don't even go as low as mundane.
Dean and Sam made the only choice they could have made and keep their humanity
Can't really believe Mr. FBI is dead.
I read an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer today that I swear, if Sam had read it whilst sipping coffee over breakfast in a diner somewhere, he and Dean would be rolling into town to check it out. If, you know, they weren't fictional. It's about three churches being vandalized, and newcomers to the area introducing themselves to the priests by demonic names. Interestingly enough, the people involved are not teenagers, who might be expected to be doing this as some sort of prank, but people in their 40's and 50's.
bleh, stupid flu. Haven't watched this week's ep and I am behind on posts. Still alive though. *waves and sniffles* I will have to catch up later.
My friend, who is going through S1 and S2 COMPLETELY unspoiled, is about to watch "Devil's Trap." Heh, heh, heh...
Oh, poor girl! The pain! The horrible pain!
I still flinch at that scene.
At least she'll have the next ep ready to hand.
Quick question: Does anyone have any thoughts (or any links to good meta posts) regarding the Trickster? I'm trying to figure out if he maps well onto a specific trickster figure (Coyote, Loki) or if he's just a mish-mash.
So far, I'm finding that he's a bit of a combo plate of certain tricksterish attributes.
