Actually I can see a way for a season six if it really happens. Season 5: resolve the apocalypse plot. Season 6 - back to monster of the week. No overarching plot. Brothers Winchester deal with fact that they will be fighting evil sons of bitches until some evil son of a bitch gets lucky and kills them. No retirement, no resolution. Save some people; get there a second too late for some people. Keeping fight the good fight until the day they die screaming.

Or: Season Six is Team Winchester - kind of like The A Team, only it's two ridiculously hot brothers, one fallen angel, one french-fry munching demon, and Bobby. Together, they fight crime slay monsters!

No overarching plot.

That's sort of a huge problem. Every story needs conflict to keep people watching or reading, and facing an external beastie every week really ain't enough.

It would be like reading a book about an entirely happy family with no problems whatsoever. Boring as hell.

Wow, leave out words much? Yikes.

I reiterate: Team Winchester!

doooo doodoo dooooo! doo-doo-doooo! doodooDOOdooDOODOO! dooo doo-doo-doo dooooo!

"In 2009, a pair of hunters and their supernatural allies prevented the Apocalpse, and so earned the emnity of the forces of Heaven and Hell for a crime they didn't commit. They promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade. Today, still wanted by angels and demons alike, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no-one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...Team Winchester!"

Hmmm... Sam would be Hannibal, Dean would be BA, with his mechanic skillz, Ruby would be Face and Castiel would be Murdoch? ('cuz he can fly!) Maybe?

And Bobby would be Amy?

"I pity the poor fool!"

Mind you, Dean wouldn't tolerate anyone painting a red go-faster stripe down the side of the Impala...

i've thought Leo was hot since his days on Growing Pains. though he has had his moments.

I have nothing on topic to add...

I think it would be really elegant for Lilith to actually be the first human being who went evil, since it would align with Hebrew lore about her becoming the mother of demons (making new ones via deals rather than the traditional way, one would presume) and haunting the children of Adam and Eve. However, that would require the writers both to have correctly researched pre-Christian mythology and to have decided to use what they found instead of making stuff up... I don't know if I'd put money on that. ears still ringing with the sound of Sam Hane...

I've never found Leo attractive, ever.

Shia, on the other hand, became DISTURBINGLY HOT.

Also growing up to be hot: Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Well, they could find the Lilith stuff via Wikipedia, so I don't think it's hopeless - pretty minimal research skillz involved.

The Sam-hane thing ....eh, the number of times I've found myself mispronouncing a word that I only know via text, I don't feel I've got a moral highground for that one.

I know that bugged a lot of people, and it was certainly wrong like a wrong thing, but I had never heard that word pronounced aloud (correctly) until a few years ago.

And it's one of those words that I feel like lots of people have seen at least once, but never heard, and when pronounced correctly I don't know how many people would actually associate it with the spelling.

Which is *not* a pass to do it wrong, of course, but I don't want them flogged for it.

I've read the name many times in the context of Halloween lore over the years, but I'd never heard it pronounced correctly until after the episode had aired.
