1. I like the dichotomy of Sam with the Demon (although I miss old Ruby so much) and Dean with the Angel. My girlfriend agrees with Tina in that the whole love thing is kinda dumb. I’ll agree the sex scene was utterly stupid and useless and totally predictable. I actually fast forwarded past it. However, the mythology that was introduced and the quest to find her grace was pretty cool to me. The Brando impersonator was super annoying after I realized he wasn’t joking. And is it me or did that impersonation only come up after he was originally introduced in his first episode. I just think that actor could have done way better.

   So, I’ve been trying to figure out the 4 angels. If we go with the strictly Christian versions, then it’ll probably be the archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. Uriel, the one we think of as 2 dimensional could possibly be one of the most complicated eventually. However, if it was up to me, it would be Michael, Uriel, Metatron (a badass name and allows them to introduce Metatron’s Cube – look it up; it’s totally relevant and awesome), and lastly, Lucifer.

2. It’s also interesting to look up Azazel. He has a vague history, but is the one blamed for corrupting humans in some literature.

   I wonder if Sam and Dean are taking the place of archangels along with Castiel and Uriel for some reason?

3. The answers to your Fringe questions are forth coming in “Safe” which you may have seen already. But go back and watch the end of that episode.

   I don’t know what you mean.

5. Well, a lot of the literature seems to refer to 4 angels in a final battle and we’ve only met 2. It might not mean anything.

6. That’s interesting, but we may be getting too ahead of ourselves. After Lilith inevitably unlocks all 66 seals, we’ll see if the producers even stick to the path they seem to be taking.

7. Hm… I’m not sure that Lilith unlocking all 66 seals is inevitable. That would mean that Lucifer is freed to walk the earth according to the show’s mythology. While Supernatural has yet to make a poor move, and I’m more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt considering the awesome manner in which they’ve depicted angels, I can’t easily envision the show pulling off scenes including Lucifer or God. I think those two will be forever somewhere off-stage (just as we’ll never see more than quick flashes of Dean’s time in Hell). The easiest way to keep them off-stage is to stop Lilith at 65. Some things are more powerful if left to the imagination.

8. Well, that’s what they say. But Lucifer walking the earth may not actually happen. Just because some demons and angels say so, doesn’t make it so. I’d put money on her doing it.

9. I love speculating. But I think it’s pretty obvious that Dean and Sam will pretty soon get Zords and battle Lucifer as he tries to stomp a new city each week.

10. I think it’d actually be pretty great if there was a legitimate apocalypse and supernatural war fought in a television series without depending on a cgi fest each week. I think Buffy got close, but they always ended the threat before there was ever a true world-changing apocalypse.

12. I’m not totaly sure what happened at the end of that episode of Fringe with the apple:(

    First I thought they teleported it from one box to the other but it comes out the same box as it went in and there was ono other box anyway. So then I thought may be the apple went in rotten and came out fine but rewatched it and nothing that I can tell is different about the apple. I rewatched the end several times God know what happened.

    Sounds like Supernatural this season is really good can’t wait till we get it.

    I agree Chris, Smallville is a vast improvement this year. I’m still hoping for an appearance or mention of a certain billionare from Gotham:) Can’t wait for the episode Goeff Johns is writting.

13. I’ll try not to completely spoil the next episode of Fringe, but the technology they were using on the box with the apple is basically disturbing the material of the box, allowing them to pass through it. The apple was just an object, it’s not special.

14. Oh right I thought the box had a glove in it to allow the guy to touch the apple like in a radition chamber thing or contamination both.

15. Yeah, most of us were confused by the end of that Fringe episode but they clear it up in 2 episodes when that rogue FBI agent uses the technology again.
