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.

Oh, and Cowboy Junkies is the emo-est, but it was a weird band name to pick out of a hat, I think.

Is anyone besides me just a tiny bit displeased that they deviate from the standard angelic names for ones that seem to prefer/default to a female host? I mean, why not Saraqael instead of Naomi? The angels themselves aren't supposed to be gendered creatures, though they use "brothers" as a default descriptor rather than the neutral "siblings."

They do seem to be using Biblical names, though -- Rachel, Naomi, etc. Michael and Gabriel aren't especially angelic, either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Marcia--put it on my tab.

But we do explicitly know popular angels Gabriel and Michael. I don't know anything about an angel Balthazar or Zachariah, so I hadn't been thinking of it as a female host issue. It seemed fucking lucky Castiel is an angel's name, and even so, it's only barely.

Right. I only meant Michael and Gabriel don't have the -zar or -iel ending. Which I guess is ... angelish.

I've seen variations of Balthazar as a demon's name, so I guess that has mythological precendent, though Zachariah too seems to be using a Biblical human name.
