What, she's suddenly OutOfTheLoopenstein, just because the Road House is gone? She's working in a TGI Friday's and forgotten all about the whole mass of demons she saw exploding out of the devils' gate? I don't think so.

In my personal canon, she and Jo have met up again, and are the baddest-ass mother-daughter demon fighting team ever.

Oooh. Oooh, yeah. That's...huh. Yeah. There should be an LJ community dedicated to this, and a shedload of fic. Yes.

I agree on that one, but that just frustrated me with the writers, rather than with Bela. (Which is totally a YMMV thing, obviously!)

To me it's one and the same, as Bela only reads as a producers' plot contrivance to me rather than a real character in her own right.

I'm still fond of the theory that Ruby is either Meg, or someone in the same kind of role and position as Meg, working Azazel's gameplan for him - it's just too damn similar

I feel quite certain that Ruby is pursuing an ultimately malevolent agenda with Sam. If she did turn out to be Meg after all, it would be inspired.

I preferred the first incarnation of Ruby, because this one doesn't seem to have much of a personality at all.

She had plenty of personality when possessing that maid in the motel. Maybe they should ditch Genevieve and get that actress back.

I would love, love, LOVE for Samantha Ferris to show up as a surprise guest star in the season finale in Jim Beaver's place and ride to the rescue.

I feel quite certain that Ruby is pursuing an ultimately malevolent agenda with Sam.

It seems like the only likely motivation, honestly. In which case, I'm going to be pissed if it's true and Sam has doggedly decided to ignore ALL THE SIGNS. Like, persuading him to use her as a personal drinking fountain of Demonic Power! I mean, come on, Sam.

And yet, I feel like the writers have to know how suspicious she looks, so they *have* to have another plan up their sleeves.

Of course, believing that is the path to madness, so.

I actually think it would be better writing to have her agenda be pretty much as claimed.

But I'm betting that the people who think she has an agenda bound in nunskin are right.

Vid lovers, I just discovered and watched this. I like it a lot. It reminds me of my perennial favorite SPN vid, Passenger Seat, though this one is a broader canvas, a wider focus.

ETA: I linked to the vidder's LJ. You can get the YouTube link there, also a dl link, and leave fb, if you like.

Help!

Does anyone remember the name of the woman who helped care for Dean and Sam after Mary's death? This may have been in the comics, but I seem to remember hearing a name somewhere that was canon.

Anyone?

I don't recall any mention of such a person in canon.

Okay, in the comic book Origins, there's a Julie who was Mary's best friend and they are staying with her after the fire.

Vid lovers, I just discovered and watched this.

Excellent vid. Very heartwarming and really drove home the fundamentals of Show: the brothers. Thank you for the link, Beverly!

Mike and Katie, um. Thing. The partner in the garage who called CPS on John.

ETA: Mike and Katie Guenther. John and the boys stayed with them a few days after the fire. Scroll down to the entry for November 17.
