Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

Because books.

Or did Dean go to hell because that's where everyone who makes a crossroads deal goes?

That's where everyone who makes a crossroads deal goes. See Crossroads Blues -- that's why all those people were terrified of the hell hounds coming for them. Bela, as well.

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

Sam has never talked about being in Hell, has he? Was it just nothingness for him?

He's never mentioned it, no.

Kneel before Glod. ~Stephen Colbert

It never occurred to me that Sam went to hell when he was killed in Cold Oak. It never occurred to me that Sam deserved to go to hell. I always assumed he went on to an afterlife, and being ripped away from it a la BTVS might have changed him.

I figure if he went to hell, someone would have made noise about it, since Dad and Bro spent notable time there. Conversely, if he'd had any memory of heaven at all (angelic, godly, anything) I thought we'd have heard that too.

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

How long was Sam dead, anyway? Maybe there's a three day limbo period or you have to get your heart weighed in comparison to a feather or there's some other equivalent to waiting in line at a cosmic DMV.

Edit: it was implied that Dean went directly to Hell, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. So maybe if the destination isn't clear cut (thanks to a deal or whatever), it takes a while to get sorted out.

Yeah, I was ranting about that back in post 4722. I hate that the writers let that potentiality just die on the vine.

How long was Sam dead, anyway?

I think he was dead 2 days our time. That is, earth time. I don't know what that would translate into in hell-dimension time or heaven or limbo timelines.

Dean was gone for three months earth time which was 40 years in Hell. I am sure that someone somewhere has done the math for Sam's time in Hell. Surely? Huh. I assumed that was where he was but just didn't remember or was able to push it back by the same method that let Dean deal.

Dang... Next week is going to be deliciously painful, isn't it?

I was thinking the same thing and then I was thinking that I am so very worried for us and what this show has done to us.

I can only remember Sam's reaction to Dean's post mortem tales, but it seemed surprised to me.

I'm very invested in Winchester pain. I don't want them happy until after season 6.

I really don't believe Sam was in hell. He was murdered, and I think given the good he'd done, I'd go with either heaven or purgatory since Kripke is using the Christian construct.

I think it's more important that it's never come up, and if he had been in hell, I think we'd know it by now.
