12:31 pm - Ruminations on the core of SPN

I'd like to begin with what may appear to be a slight digression. I've been wondering if what might make a certain genetic line of humans able to host angels was the result of some angel/human merger way back when. In fact, wouldn't it be interesting if Lucifer was the one who started that host/(maybe hunter) line to begin with? I know Lucifer's supposed to have hated humans but I don't think that would really matter either way. I was just thinking of how in Buffy S7 we discover that Dracula and Spike's hints in S5 and S6 were correct, and that the slayer power came from a demon/human merger. In fact, "empowering a slayer" looked not unlike what we see as demon possessions in SPN, with Buffy stuck in a devil's trap mystical circle while on the other side of the dimensional rift Willow sits in a salt circle mystical circle and tries to bring back.

Which leads me to some interesting developments in SPN S4 which seem to map out a philosophy for the show. Read more... )
