I'm sort of wondering if it's not actually "Heaven" the place, but rather Zachariah interceding in the moment before death. (Sort of a Last Temptation dealie.) Then, when Dean (almost) inevitably says no, Zachariah/Castiel/some other big player will put things to rights again and they will be not-shot. They're very much puppet pieces right now, and that seems like just the thing that Zachariah would try.
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.
Ooh, I like your theory, Ailleann.
Ah, I miss S4 Castiel. I get why they can't have him powered up so much in S5, but I do wish he'd gotten more screentime, somehow. He was just great in Pumpkin. I hope they ramp up the Apocalypse from here on in and have more of him, and with gravitas as well as straight-manism.
OMG. I had totally forgotten Sam dies in "Wishful Thinking". He's so far ahead of Dean in the buying-it stakes. At least Dean never had to know.
I think Dean will always beat Sam...how many times did he die in Mystery Spot?
Ooh, good point, Suzi. Although maybe that doesn't count since it's all part of the same ... trick?
Now I want to go back and count them all up.
I have to go to DMV tomorrow, and I don't even know which episodes are coming up, but I'm proactively peeved I'll have to miss them. FOR THE DMV, of all things.
FOR THE DMV, of all things.
At least you stand a good chance of seeing demons.
But I bet Sammy remembers each and every one.
Let's see if I can remember the ones they show...dude in the Mystery Spot shooting Dean, car, fighting over the axe, choking, electrocuted, slipping in the shower, piano (or whatever fell on him), dog, and taco. Plus the guy shooting him on Wednesday.
I think as far as experiencing deaths of his brother, Sam will win, since he actually went through all of Mystery Spot, but I'm torn on how to count Dean's death on those--I think Sam said something like 100 Tuesdays, and then he'd lost count. But were they all a trick? Was the last one, maybe, real?
Sam dies...how many times?
- AHBL
- Wishful Thinking
- The Song Remains The Same
- maybe Dark Side of the Moon
Dean has
- In My Time of Dying (does that count? or just close?)
- Mystery Spot??
- No Rest For The Wicked
- maybe Dark Side of the Moon
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff
Supernaturalwiki informs me that Sam also died in Sympathy For The Devil. It only counts one death for Dean.
Does Faith count for Dean?
I feel like there's more for Sam, too.
