I just found a season 1-5 recap and emailed it to myself so I can make the roommates watch it before show.
Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[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.
Okay, heading up to Parents Weekend in Lawrence. DVR is set. Checking back in after I have watched show.
Have fun storming the castle!!
I suppose it's not surprising I read that, "Have fun storming the castiel!"
That works too.
Mmm, Castiel.
I get the tv at nine! I am unreasonably pleased.
I'm also wrapping seasons one and two for Nephlet's birthday gift right now. AIFHardNotToOpenThemAndWatch. At least the pilot.
Gabriel/Loki question: Was Loki always Gabriel? Or did Gabriel kill him and take his place? Anyone read any interesting speculation on that front?
Alas, will be elsewhere tonight, but the DVR is all set and ready to go.
Was Loki always Gabriel? Or did Gabriel kill him and take his place?
I've wondered about that, too. Now that we've seen the other gods in action, and they're part of the SPN 'verse, you have to assume the original Loki is gone, or folks would know there were two of them.
Elsewhere I saw it suggested that Gabriel was always Loki. And also that Gabriel imprisoned Loki and took his place, and now Loki can break free and wreak his revenge.
Which is a brilliant way to get RSJr back--someone call Sera.
I liked the idea that Gabe killed him, but if we could get a Loki back, that would be cool. Especially a pissed off one.
I have this story in my head where Gabriel runs off to what-will-be-Europe, and eventually runs into some Germanic tribes, and they start calling him Loki, but you can't just have a trickster. A trickster needs context, other supernatural beings to trick, so the whole mythology builds up, with him as the seed. And, of course, once you hit critical belief mass (under the American Gods theory), you get your gods.
