So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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.

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.

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

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.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

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.

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

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.

Because books.

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.

Assuming the taint of demon blood wouldn't keep him out, but I don't think even Kripke could be that unfair. I think we're cheated by not knowing by what happened to him, but I don't think he was punished.

Dean paid with hell for his deal, not his life.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I just have a mental image of Sam sitting on the too-low couch in the waiting room from Beetlejuice, tapping his fingers on his knees and listening to awful Muzak.

Heh. I like that, Bev!

My initial images of limbo all come from Warren Beatty in Heaven Can Wait.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Were we talking about other places to see JDM? New trailer out for The Losers, with bonus Idris Elba! This looks like it could be a lot of fun.
