I suppose it's not surprising I read that, "Have fun storming the castiel!"
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

That works too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Because books.
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

Especially since he called "witness protection," it does seem like he was suggesting more of a "hide in plain sight" strategy than creating a new persona.
And yeah, getting Loki back would be a lot of fun. Although I think he would be angriest at Gabriel, who isn't there to take revenge on.

I think it's more elegant if Gabriel was always Loki and the other gods just never figured out that One of These Things Is Not Like the Others.
Of course, an interesting possibility might be that Gabriel's vessel, instead of being a human being, was the actual Norse god.
