Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

But it's going to be awesome!

I hope.

Because books.

Well, if they play it right, yeah. I just automatically cringe at the sight, you know?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It's hot!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Chris - I so would love them to go there.

I knew Plei would agree with me!

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

I'm hoping for an appropriately grisly end--I mean, this is the fanservice show, right? They know what we want?

"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

Maybe the person in question will be held up as the reason God finally went all "why do I even bother?" and abandoned Heaven?

do we know how long God has been on his vision quest? What have the angels said about this?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

do we know how long God has been on his vision quest? What have the angels said about this?

What struck me and mellenbal as interesting is that when Raphael was ranting about God's absence and probable death, he only held up the 20th Century as an example to both Dean and Castiel. Why that, and not, say, "the past two thousand years?" Why give short shrift to Caligula, Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, the Medici and so on. The Mayans were not exactly known for following Geneva Convention-type rules in their warfare, either.

It could be that Raphael was just using verbal shorthand, but it could also mean that God has only been on walkabout for around a century, or maybe a little longer. If that's the case, I'm wondering how that timing works out with Samuel Colt's invention of The World's Largest Devil's Trap (tm), and creating a lock (and key) that could close or open a gate to Hell. Not to mention a gun that can actually kill a demon, and maybe even an angel.

I'm not sure what conclusions I'd draw from that, but the fact that the Colt is being dragged back into the S5 storyline makes me think that there's a lot more to Colt's story and it's going to come into play somehow.
