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.

Because books.

Also true. Oh, DEAN.

This conversation is weird, though, because every time I see "Amy," I think, What did I do?!

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

YOU KILLED PEOPLE.

(that never happens to me. I just sit around, mooning...)

Well, I usually try not to ...

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

It's not your fault, Amy. It's just your nature.

That's what they tell me ...

Wow, hiatus feels long already.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I wonder if Sam is consciously aware that his stance on monsters has changed - he seemed to accept that Madison had to die, despite the fact that she wasn't deliberately killing people. And I'd think her own acceptance of that necessity would argue more compellingly for her resolve to avoid killing people than Amy pleading for her life and pinkie swearing that she'd never murder anyone for their brains again (unless her kid got another case of the sniffles, of course).

But her resolve had just been pointed out to be useless. Amy had been seen to act in direct conflict with her nature, by killing her own mother to save Sam's life. All the good thoughts on Madison's side were clearly irrelevant and she was going to kill the next time she had an opportunity.

Except the demon in Madison came out only at night, never during the day. So build a cage with a time controlled lock (mechanical like some old time safes not electronic). See what time sunrise is, set cage to open after sunrise, get in cage before sunset.

If someone told you to build a cage like that, could you? Reliably enough to ensure you wouldn't kill anyone ever?

I think it's a perfectly plausible choice to make to say that she can't live with that threat and responsibility over her head, and to choose to end her life anyway.

I mean, she doesn't like what she's become. She's not the same woman she was last year. I can't imagine living with knowing I'm a monster, and a bullet seems really simple in comparison.

If she can't find wisdom in Tibet, who's going to lock her away every month?

I'll bet someone could build a cage like that that is reliable. I don't pretend I personally have the skills - but there are people out there who build cages that can hold bears. And there are people out there who build specialty locks.

[On edit] Actually it looks like the people to build the cage needed are the people who build bank vaults. They are always custom. There is at least one verified instance of a bank vault surviving a nuclear blast. Maybe the lock could be computer controlled but you would want one hell of a reliable battery backup and reliable software.
