Somewhere East of Life

I woke up with this thought actually. One of my weird dreams you know, but it inevitably lead to a rabid plot bunny.

All the people that work for the PtB, such as the Whistler the Balance demon, are just that: demons (or as in the case with Slayers, humans hyped up with demonic powers).

Food for thought no? What type of higher power uses demons as messengers? Not one of the light side me thinks. I'd wager the only reason they're even around is to keep control over the denizens in their small world of influence.

Which of course lead to idly pondering how that would tie in to Supernatural. The Winchesters fight things that go bump in the night, battling the demons they come across (among other things).

Now that the Hellmouth has been effectively shut down and no longer of influence, you'd think they'd send another demonic "Champion" to take care of things for them.

Who might that be? It can't be the Winchesters, well at least as far as Dean's concerned as he doesn't fit the bill. He's not demonic or hyped up on demon juice.

Sam is though.

So, got that outta my system. Not gonna think about it more, I don't want another rabid plot bunny. But it's still an interesting thought.

Finally got a chance to watch it with my mother. I'd heard mostly bad things about the episode, and I had a few different thoughts on it.

At first, I was pissed off. People are making choices about Dean's life for him. Choices they didn't have any business making. After everything Dean had been through, he at least deserved the truth.

It made me very bitter.

However, this assumes that you're dealing with the normal characters. I told my mother as I was watching that it feels like Dean is the butt of someone's joke.

I don't trust the cousins, I don't trust Grandpa, and I sure as hell don't trust Sam. They're not normal. They're not acting right. They're just too... unemotional.

Not just flat characters. It's very deliberate. They smirk at odd moments, and I can't help but feel like they're laughing at Dean.

It honestly leaves me more confused than anything.

I think Bobby believes the way he does because of Sam. But as for Sam, I'm almost not sure what to think. I'm fairly certain Grandpa and the "cousins" if they're not who they say they are, then at the very least up to something and not telling anyone.

I'm not sure quite yet if Sam knows what's going on, but I'm very sure that Sam isn't right. And not just in the acting out of character "because I just came back from Hell" bit. I mean like a bad copy.

I don't know how else to describe it. It's just... not right.

Will have to see more episodes to see if I'm right or not.
