Plot holes, Nutty! Use your handwavium!
Matt, that casting idea is BRILLIANT. Too bad it's not, you know, true. Sad now.

[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.

Gummy worms:
I get the drunk thing, too, Matt. Sam is not a regular drinker the way Dean is made out to be. And his mix of drinks was ... ambitious.
I have a friend my size (5'4"ish) who can drink my husband (6'0") under the table, but she drinks a LOT, so I should have figured.
If the non-canon plot in the comics is to be believed, John took the boys to the Roadhouse very early on, within the first year after Mary's death. So working from that, it's kinda absurd that Dean wouldn't remember the Harvelles, unless the hunt that killed Bill Harvelle happened really early on. Which just doesn't fit.
Of course, the comics kinda suck on plot. Like Jo's full name . And how many doors the Impala has.
I don't have the comics yet. My comic shop is sort of bad with calling to let you know stuff is in, and they're all the way in Oswego, which is not just around the corner.
I'm a little less than thrilled with the comics. As far as I'm concerned, they're just a way to fill time between now and... October, is it?
October 4th, I believe.
But the season 3 dvds come out a little earlier than that.

Okay... how does that work? They're actually releasing eps before they go on the air?
I meant season 2.
Must find myself some caffeine.

Ah. That makes more sense. Still, that would have been an interesting way of distributing the show.
Of course, the comics kinda suck on plot.
They also blow on existing canon. Like not just how many doors the Impala has, but when it was acquired into the Winchester canon. (It's in the first five minutes of the pilot, hello!)
The moral of this story is: there is no such thing as extracanonical canon. You are better off presuming that contemporaneous-release "official" canon items are actually just commercial fanfic. Written by twelve-year-olds who don't do their research.
