'Soul Purpose'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I'm not sure how much I even want to speculate, because then I get irked when the show doesn't do what I want.Ayup. I've unwittingly ruined many a good show with my speculation that had turned into Expectations.
So . . . I should stop now.
Although I do think that season 6 should start off with a were-rabbit. Were-rabbit slippers. That Lisa's wearing. And Dean has coconuts.
I'm not worried that Dean is going to be playing happy families with Lisa and Ben for very long. Sera is just as aware of fan expectations as Kripke was, and I don't think *she* would be interested in telling the story of Dean and his wife, with Uncle Sam coming around occasionally.
From what she's said in the past about the Epic Love Story of Sam and Dean, that's not where she's going. I hope.

That, strictly, is not a concern of mine. The show is about hunting brothers. But if Lisa manages to heal Dean and then set him back out on the road, I will be irked. If anyone heals Dean I want it to be Sam, and even then, don't need it at all.
Oh, I see what you mean. I'm not worried about that, either, though. I've got faith in Sera, as ill-advised as that may be.
Now that I think about it, the one thing I really don't want in S6 is Sam coming back wrong. I'm over Sam being evil, or possibly evil, or wrongheadedly evil without meaning to be.
I want SAM back, one way or another.
So now is the time to hypothesise about the blown streetlight. Are you okay with him coming back different?
He's been possessed by Lucifer, spent time in hell. Has to be different.
I actually have a theory (or a wank, whatever you want to call it) in a story I'm working on.
I'm completely okay with him being different. Just not evil, please.
Has to be different.
EM different? Why? We've been given no indication other angel vessels are anything but cognitively impaired.
If anyone heals Dean I want it to be Sam, and even then, don't need it at all.
I agree with everyone that Castiel got the "oh my God yes!!" rockstar introduction, and a great quote that has been repeated to the point of almost not meaning anything anymore, but... but.... I have never quite forgiven Show for not allowing Sam to be the one to rescue Dean. I think it damaged Sam's spirit beyond repair.
So when it comes to this new season I'd like to see Sam and Dean work together to overcome their PTSDs with slightly less angelic or Lisa-induced intervention. (Which given that Dean avoids touchy-feely stuff and Show in general avoids much in the way of extended hurt/comfort, is unlikely anyway. Back to the fanfic, I guess.) Also, while I agree that Dean needs much love and support and lots of care to rebuild and piece himself back together, at the moment I'm at least equally concerned with Sam being healed. Hell, possession by Lucifer. None of it good. Preceeded by the whole starting-the-Apocalypse thing. Do you suppose once they're reunited that Dean will be willing to talk with him about it, or will Sam be the one now refusing to speak about his time down under?
