Could, in theory be working with someone in the civil war and all.
Oooh, maybe someone trying to get Cas distracted by re-embroiling him in Dean's problems through Sam?
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

That's a good theory. Makes more sense than Crowley doing it on his own, or with just his minions. And we had the episode where we were told just how valuable human souls are, and I'm guess a vessel's soul would be even more valuable. Maybe especially a vessel who averted the apocalypse.

I'm getting the pig!
I finally caught up on the last three episodes and I'm baffled by one thing in particular. If Sam is so skilled at getting out of ropes and such, why did he have to cut his way out when the truth goddess had them tied up?
If he needed Dean to see the cutting, fine, cut a little but then slip loose and shut her up before she spilled his dirty little secret.

Maybe Veritas is really good at tying people up. Like a Wonder Woman thing in reverse?

Because books.
Why do you think the crossroads demon gave Dean only one year? The meta reason is simple, but what was her justification? Because he's a Winchester?
It was heaven's plan to have him kickstart the apocalypse by breaking in hell, yes? So a demon shouldn't have had any reason to particularly want him there sooner.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hell wanted him to start the apocalypse too, didn't they? That had been the assumption I'd been working on, that this was part of Lilith's plan (she ended up with the contract, right?) that ended with her being the final seal, so the first seal was also something she was working on.

Also, he wasn't in the mood to bargain - so he got a bad deal.

Some days I can't keep track of who wanted what. Today is one of those days, I guess.
But wait -- Lilith was holding his contract, but if she knew he would be the first seal, how come she didn't know she would be the last one?

I think she did know she was the last one, and she was working with Ruby to make sure Sam killed her and let Lucifer free.

Having done a power marathon of the front half of S2 this weekend, I was hugely struck by how much sunlight loves Mr. Ackles, and how nice the boys both look in high res. But Jensen's eyes in natural daylight? Glow. No wonder ficwriters go mental describing his orbs. Even if half the colours claimed make no sense.
