Supernatural (TV series)/Fridge: Difference between revisions

* Why does {{spoiler|Jessie the Antichrist}} speak and act like such an adult when Sam and Dean first meet him? One would assume that it was due to the fact that his parents work all the time, and therefore he has to look after himself, but also because {{spoiler|anything the Antichrist believes becomes true}}. He thinks he is an adult, therefore he is one! Hence why his maturity level suddenly drops when he says to Sam "But I'm just a kid!" - he realizes he's just a child, cue sudden maturity decrease.

* Why is the boys' dialogue so [[Reference Overdosed|saturated with references?]] Because they were left alone in hotel rooms nearly 24/7 and had nothing better to do than watch whatever came on television.

* Ava's the villian? How did she survive that long without food and manage to hide all her victims....EWWWWWWWW!

* While Sam and Dean's relationship is outright stated by Gabriel to mirror that of the archangels, the dialogue between Lucifer and Michael in the 5th season mimics [[Not So Different|the many arguments between Sam and Dean]] in Seasons 1 and 4: Michael is the obedient soldier who faults his brother for rebelling against their [[Disappeared Dad|missing father]], while Lucifer believes he is doing the only thing he can, following a bad road to stop something he sees as horrible, with little regard for everyone else involved.

* When Castiel {{spoiler|continues to work with Crowley and eventually absorbs the souls of Purgatory despite the Winchesters begging him not to, one motivation that is cited by fans is that they didn't give him enough support over the seasons and instead just used him whenever they needed Superman's help. But it's so much more than that, because in essence, he does it because that is how the hunters ''taught'' him to do it, time and again, with their attitude to ''personal power'', their treatment of it as ultimately a good thing. Their dad sacrifices his soul to save Dean, Dean does the same for Sam, Sam ''admits'' that he tried to do the same for Dean. Sam works with Ruby and goes crazy and drinks demon blood and unleashes Lucifer. Bobby sells his soul to Crowley - not to save someone who is in ''immediate'' danger, but for a strategic ace, i.e. Death's location, and of course they all work with Crowley in that, as well. Dean all but gives in to Michael and likely would have if Cas hadn't physically stopped him. Sam gives in to Lucifer hoping to be able to control himself despite the literally apocalyptic level of consequences if he screws up. Sam tries to hold on to his soullessness partially for the reason that it makes him "a better hunter", i.e. more powerful. When Dean is turned into a vampire, he chooses to try and use his now superior powers against the vampires and go after them instead of staying put to minimise the chance of feeding and becoming a crazy monster. When Sam and Dean are in the past, trying to procure the phoenix ashes, Bobby lets Castiel power up from his soul, despite how dangerous it is. The point is that whenever there's a choice between crossing a line and ending up with no solution to the current crisis, the Winchesters & Co. have ''always'', without exception, been willing to hop straight across, no matter how great the consequences of failure and how much they have to go behind each other's backs to do it. And the worst part is that, by the end of Season 6, it really ''has'' worked out fine, in the grand scheme of things. Conversely, every time Castiel is depowered or drained either in Season 5 or 6, he is expected to try and get his mojo back as soon as possible, and mocked viciously for his powerlessness not just by the [[Monster of the Week]] (Lucifer, Meg, Famine, Eve etc.) but by ''the Winchesters'' ("baby in a trenchcoat", anyone?), who also throw hissy fits whenever he's not there to help them when they need it, even at great personal cost (e.g. nearly dying by zapping them both back in time to stop Anna), and praise him for his merits as a monster-killing machine. ("Gotta take you on more monster hunts".) In short, they've taught him that ''his only worth lies in being powerful enough to help them'', and that ''any means is acceptable'' for the end of procuring power, and if anything goes wrong it will end up fine in the end and they'll forgive him because he's family. With that in mind, it's suddenly a lot clearer why their unthinking condemnation of his plan with Crowley and their subsequent turning against him bewilders him so much. It also proves, to him, that they really ''aren't'' family, otherwise they'd trust him and go along with him just as they've always done in such situations. }}

* "The righteous man who begins it is the only one who can finish it." Does it refer to {{spoiler|Dean}}... ''or'' {{spoiler|Sam breaking the last seal and later stopping the Apocalypse by jumping into Hell with Lucifer and Michael}}?

* YMMV, but it just occured to me. The Leviathans as characters might have seemed to come out of nowhere to some fans, but some biblical lore talks about some fallen angels/demons that are so terrible that they were locked away in a bottomless pit. What is Purgatory? A place that God created to keep the Leviathans from wreaking havoc on the world. Just substitute the fallen angels/demons for Leviathans, and give the bottomless pit the name "Purgatory".

* Why did Crowley spend so much time going over his contract with Dick? He was giving the Winchester brothers more time to get everything they needed, since Dick's plans were quickly coming to fruition.

**** Though considering Adam didn't really have anything to do with the Apocalypse being averted, he may be spared the same torture Sam went through, at least on Michael's part.

* In "Sam, Interrupted" the commited hunter friend is now believed to be the one who killed the monster disguised as a patient. His fate is never mentioned again. Could the doctors do something to him before the cops are called?

* Dean compares Heaven to the Matrix because it's a constructed reality run by the angels. In Season 6, with the revelation that {{spoiler|souls are an energy source}}, it becomes even ''more'' like the Matrix.

* In ''[[Supernatural]]'', the episode about the haunted hotel, the "happy" ending shows the ghost girl and recently deceased elderly sister together in each other's company. The unhappiness comes out of the fact that unless they're put to rest, they're gonna go crazy and start killing people in a few decades, as pointed out in the season 2 opening episode. And some for Fridge Horror: remember the victims of the week who they save from the monsters? Not everyone's gonna go along with the world being populated with evil monsters. More than likely every one either went insane, killed themselves or terrified of ever leaving the house. And the fact that they'll never know for sure how to kill a monster without the help of other hunters means they'll make a mistake and end up being killed among other problems they'll have.
