* In Season Six of ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' , the Winchesters need {{spoiler|Crowley}} (current ruler of Hell) to help Bobby and Sam, so they kill Alphas (powerful monsters) in order to help {{spoiler|Crowley}} locate Purgatory, which he considers prime real estate, because he is planning to expand hell. Sure, he is much less evil than Lucifer (and possibly quite cuddly), and he regularly uses torture to achieve his ends. How likely is it that he's planning to do anything positive to the souls in Purgatory, let alone anything which benefits the heavenly or earthly spheres? [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Plus, they are mean to poor old Cas, who is already stressed with his civil war and being hunted by his family]]. Yet, we are supposed to side with the Winchesters.
