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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Someone teases me about what I'm fixating on, and I laugh.

We tease with love. And with teasing. Because Show gets a lot of things wrong and, I think, you pick your battles with it.

For me, when the bad outweighs the good, it's time to break up with the show, whatever show that is.

I'd have to rewatch, but I think he said it was supposed to be some kind of powerful protection amulet.

I rewatched a few weeks ago. While wee!Sam was wrapping the amulet for John, wee!Dean asked him where he got the money. Did he steal it? Sam said, "No. Uncle Bobby gave it to me to give to him. Said it was real special." (Which is why I've been looking more closely at Bobby, thinking there's more there than meets the eye.)

I don't recall if they ever elaborated more on the amulet in other episodes.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

it makes no sense to me that some little trinket Dean got as a kid is somehow specifically designed to track down God - who may not even be incarnate as Castiel suspects. As preachy as it might be, I'd prefer for any reveal of YHVH to be speaking through multiple normal people, lecturing the angels that He's always been right there in everybody, and it's they who've lost their way to the point that they can no longer hear Him.

Matt, I agree. Making the amulet into a magickal god-finding GPS seems a cheap device, and from a personal standpoint I think it means much more if it continues to be a visible, tangible sign of the love between the brothers. Sam gave it to Dean in the moment he made the decision to give all the loyalties that would have instinctually first gone to a father to his brother instead, and Dean values that amulet. Because Sam gave it to him, not because of its supposed protective properties or god-finding GPS abilities.

Making the amulet into a magickal god-finding GPS seems a cheap device,

I really hope we find out that Cas got that bit of information as a way of someone (God? Michael?) sending him on a holy snipe hunt. Either that, or the GPS factor is a side effect of some other quality the amulet has (container for Michael's grace?)

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

I thought she was just a beard to cover up the raging affair he was having with JP. Or have I been exposed to the wrong sources?

In fact, ew. I can't believe I was exposed to that tinfoilhattery.

Damn nice ring, either way.

I have absolutely no ability to judge rings. They kinda all look the same to me.
