You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

"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?

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?

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I suddenly feel the need to track down a few Sam Colt-SamNDean AUs to read.

Folks do tend to gloss over that there's been a lot of inhumanity throughout human history. Really, the 20th century is only remarkable insofar as there were a lot more people than before to suffer, and some of said inhumanity was inflicted en masse by new technology rather than on an individual level.
Weird thought just occurred to me. A big difference from previous times is the infant and childhood mortality rate. What if the big to-do isn't about bombs and gulags, but about the fact that there's no longer as steady a stream of innocent souls wafting upward from being cut off early in life? So that more and more people survive into adulthood and the percentage of souls being corrupted by the world is growing too large?
