mhalachaiOoh look, shiny cracked-meta! For my new crazy fandom Supernatural!
In In My Time Of Dying, John Winchester made a deal with the demon, Dean's life for the Colt and John Winchester himself. Then Daddy dies, and everyone's real sad, then the boys cremate the body and get all wrecked cry cry.
Yeah, okay, so John's dead. Right? Wrong (imo anyway). Come on. The demon just gets John dead? What kind of a deal is that? What better way to make life hell for the good guys (pun intended) than to turn the main man into the enemy? Like Emperor Palatine using Darth Vader to get to Luke? [/obligatory Star Wars reference]
And come on. We didn't see John die. We saw a body. Doesn’t even have to be his body. As far as we know, that body was never alive. He can reappear in corporeal form or just delicious ghostly form.
Yes, I'm clinging to the faintest of hopes because I'm a hopeless JW fangirl. But still, the idea that John will be used as some kind of complication in the boys' lives would be excellent in the hands of these writers, because of the amazing emotional impact.
PS I think Sam's secret is that he's like some kind of miracle baby, that the demons went after the kids because they're special in that good sort of way, and not that the demons wanted them for bad things and that's why John told Dean that Sam would be okay.
ETA: Ha! I am so totally vindicated by this April/06 interview with Jeffery Morgan on zapit: Quote from the article:
"But it's 'Supernatural,' so they might kill me, and I might not be dead."
K, done now.
