Buffy ,'Showtime'
[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.
Okay, I'm rewatching, and I think I'm back to the fuzzy time math.
Six month ago: The CRD tells Sam "You don't look too good. I guess burying your brother is no fun" (or something like that), suggesting that this is something that just happened.
Next scene, still six months ago by the caption, and Sam is wearing the same clothes he was with the CRD, Ruby shows up wearing the blonde.
I don't see the line from the CRD as indicating that he just got back from digging a shallow grave, and boy are his arms tired, though. Recent, yes, just done, no.
But then wouldn't CRD have said "life without your brother" or something?
You've got to let it flow over you!
I really didn't have a problem with it. But then I always sort of approximate dates and times.
I just assumed he couldn't take it anymore a week or so after Dean died, and that's when he went to the crossroads. And if Ruby was in hell for a week or so, that's at least a year or something, which seems like plenty of time for a fast-talker like her to make a deal with Lilith.
"SUPERBOY PRIME PUNCHED A HOLE IN REALITY, BITCH!"
I forgot.
I don't even know that that means, but yes!
you have to ask Plei--I think it's a comic book thing
When Jason Todd, Robin II, aka The Dead Robin, the one the Joker beat to death with a tire iron, the one with the creepy case-filled uniform dedicated to him in the Batcave, came back from the grave (all growed up and somewhat wrong), the eventual explanation was that Superboy Prime, in his efforts to break through dimensional barriers, had PUNCHED A HOLE IN REALITY, this causing all kinds of continuity changes.
And while some may view this as the most boneheaded, dumb-ass part of Infinite Crisis, I myself view it as the most utterly hilarious and effective explanation for EVERYTHING.
For some reason, I too really don't have a problem with Sam and Ruby. Especially since the body is "uninhabited." If they were destined for a long-term relationship or the show portrayed this as "true wuv", I think I would have a bigger problem with it, but he was grieving, out of his mind, so I guess he's in a screwed up place.
I don't see this as a permanent relationship.
In other news: I don't want the angels killing an innocent! I hope she's either a demon or the angels' mission is foiled.
Maybe it's another test?
Human military/espionage tactics, sure, I can see them deciding that the risk of her falling into enemy hands is too great. I'd expect a little more from divine beings.
