BIG EXPLOSIONS! WIREWORK! FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY!

[whynot]

I have a specific question regarding the 6x10 promo pics.

This is a screencap from the opening credits of WHAT KIND OF SHOW?



Is it a show about SPIES? Is Meg a secret agent and Cas is her handler? Sam is the guy who doesn't say much and is terrifying and everyone calls "the cleaner"?

Is it a show about SECRET ALIENS? Are they all aliens trying to blend in in the human world? Or is it just Meg who's the alien, and Sam is her love interest, and Dean is his brother reluctantly dragged into this whole shitshow OH GOD EVERYONE IS IDIOTS, Dean thinks. Cas is Meg's Giles if she were Buffy. Cas was the one who found Meg in the first place. He's good at sciencing! And a little bit of a crackpot. MEG EATS ICE CREAM AND LEARNS ABOUT HUMANITY. THEY ALL RUN AWAY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. Cas puts her on a pedestal and so does Sam, but for different reasons. She gives touching monologues about what life was like back in her home planet.

Is it a show about CON ARTISTS?!? Like 'Leverage' but less sitcommy. TOGETHER THEY STEAL FROM THE RICH, but also run from nemeses and sabotage enemies. Perhaps they sell information too. WILL CAS HAVE TO DO ACCENTS AND WEAR SNAZZY SUITS? Yes. Often. Are they in a show about former spies determined to take down their evil and corrupt spy agency? PERHAPS THEY ARE. Sam and Meg will have to provide make-out distractions on more than one occasion. One time, Meg and Cas have to. ~TENSION ENSUES:



IT STARTED SHIP WARS THAT FOREVER DIVIDED THE FANDOM.



ARE THEY A NEW CSI TEAM?!? GODDDD THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. MAYBE THEY ARE COPS, MAYBE THEY ARE ROBOTS, MAYBE THEY ARE CYBORGS. Maybe only Dean and Meg are cyborgs, and Dean didn't know he was a cyborg. INSERT EXISTENTIAL CRISIS HERE. "I'M NOT A ROBOT," he weeps. Cas is a cyborg engineer. Together, they talk about humanity and ALSO POETRY WHY NOT. Cas expresses a love for Bashō, and Dean writes a haiku to prove he's not just some machine. Cas replies, "Of course you're not a machine. That's the point of cyborgs," which somehow doesn't help.

One night, Dean convinces Cas to go to a bar. You are fifty years old before your time, Cas, he says. Have a beer. Cas gets irritable and asks Dean what he's trying to prove. "Nothing," Dean lies.

MEANWHILE:

"Yo, I rewired my forearm last night, check it out," Meg says. She points her finger like a gun at the TV, and yells, "Pow!"

The TV turns on.

"Sweet," Sam says, and high-fives her.


SO MANY POSSIBILITIES SO MANYYYYYYY. Whatever it is, I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT OMG.


YOUR SPECULATIONS?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I JUST MADE A POST ABOUT THIS DUDE!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOLOLOL OMG XDDDDDDDDDD

GET OUT OF MY BRAIN BEFORE I MAKE YOU PAY RENT

[viridian-magpie.livejournal.com]

Aliens, yeah! It looks like a Torchwood promo pic for sure.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I don't know Torchwood, but I will take your word for it!

[switchbladesis.livejournal.com]

THEY ARE BOTH ROCK STARS AND INTERNATIONAL SPIES. SINGER SPIES. THEY'RE PART OF A ROCK BAND-CASTIEL'S THE SINGER, MEG PLAYS THE DRUMS. THEY GO AROUND ON 'TOUR' DOING SPY-THINGS AND POSSIBLY FIGHTING INTERGALACTIC INVASIONS, I DON'T KNOW YET. AND THEN WHENEVER ANYBODY RECOGNIZES THEM FROM THEIR ALIEN-FIGHTING ACTIVITIES, THEY'LL BE LIKE NO, I'M JUST PART OF A MID-LEVEL ROCK BAND. AND EVERYONE WOULD BE LIKE OH, OKAY. I REALLY LIKED YOUR SONG THAT GOES LIKE THIS. AND THEY'D BE LIKE, NO, THAT'S COLDPLAY. AND THEN EVERYONE WOULD WALK AWAY REALLY AWKWARDLY AND NOBODY WOULD BE ANY WISER ABOUT THE WHOLE INTERNATIONAL SPIES/ALIEN FIGHTER THING.

obviously.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

OMG LIKE JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS!

DEAN'S REAL BUTTHURT ABOUT THE COLDPLAY THING. MY FAVORITE MEMBER OF COLDPLAY IS GWYNETH PALTROW, HE SAYS.

I BET EVERY EPISODE ENDS WITH THEM SINGING A SONG ABOUT THE LESSONS THEY'VE LEARNED, AND IT WILL USE A LOT OF AUTOTONE.

[hereare-mysins.livejournal.com]

I call for Cas to be Owen. :D

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Who is Owen?

[anniehow.livejournal.com]

YES! THIS IS THE ANSWER TO ALL MY PRAYERS OH THANK YOU SERA GAMBLE, I'LL MAIL THE SPARKLY TIARA OF FANGIRL APPRECIATION DIRECTLY TO THE SET!!!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

SERA GAMBLE IS SO AMAZING I LOVE SERA GAMBLE WHERE DID SHE COME FROM OH GOSH I FOR ONE WELCOME OUR NEW GAMBLE OVERLORD

[prettybird.livejournal.com]

I WANT ALL OF THESE SHOWS.

BUT ESPECIALLY THE ROBOTS.

(Jesus, Jared looks even bigger than usual in that pic)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

MY FAVORITE EPISODE OF THE CYBORGS SHOW IS WHEN DEAN GETS POSSESSED HACKED AND TURNS INTO EVIL!DEAN. It's like "Bad Moon Rising", but with MORE ROBOTS.

[nyoka.livejournal.com]

I WANT IT ALL.

ALL OF IT.

ALL OF IT AT ONCE.

WHY CAN'T ALL OF THESE THINGS EXIST AT THE SAME TIME IN ALL OF EXISTENCE?

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

HALF THESE SHOWS ARE JUST EXCUSES FOR SUITPORN. THE OTHER HALF ARE SET AT THE BEACH. The best combines both. THEY ARE LIFEGUARD WHO ARE ALSO SECRET AGENTS.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Is it a show about SPIES? Is Meg a secret agent and Cas is her handler? Sam is the guy who doesn't say much and is terrifying and everyone calls "the cleaner"?

I feel like there could be a fantastic fic meme/challenge writing stories based solely off these pictures, with no necessary to connection to the show at all. I would TOTALLY read a fic where Cas is some kind of Secret Agent Man and Sam is a high-functioning sociopath-cum-assassin for hire.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

There really could! This is like a pre-set "I Surrendered" meme. I'm really tempted now to co-opt SPN screencaps and promo shots to construct fake episodes for my robot show.

BRING IIIIIITTTTTT. Where are you in fandom anymore, SK?

[gabby-silang.livejournal.com]

LOOKS LIKE A PORNO TO ME.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

YES YES, MEG IS A DOMINATRIX LEADING AN EXHIBITIONIST AND TWO VOYEURS TO HER UNDERGROUND STUDIO. THOSE AREN'T FLASHLIGHTS.

[scarletsherlock.livejournal.com]

I WANT TO WATCH THIS SHOW EVERY SINGLE DAAAAAAAAAAY

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

OMG LOOK

TUMBLR PROVIDES

MMM SKIN TIGHT LEATHER SUITS~

[cherryshadowz.livejournal.com]

THIS IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV. IT'S A SHOW ABOUT ESPIONAGE. MEG IS THE CLOSE COMBAT SPECIALIST, DEAN IS THE GUN MAN, SAM IS THE 'SPECIALIST' (DECIDE WHAT THAT MEANS, I SAY HE'S THE ONE WHO SLEEPS WITH THE ENEMY FOR INFO. GRATUITOUS SHIRTLESS SAMMY ABOUND) AND CAS IS THE 'FOREIGN' GUY...ALWAYS. HE GOES UNDERCOVER A LOT (MMMMM SUIT MISHA).

ITS A FANSERVICE SHOW WHERE EVERYONE HAS A THING WITH EVERYONE ELSE BUT IT'S NOTHING BUT UST AND A FEW 'FORCED' KISSES.

LET THE EXCITEMENT BEGIN!

Re: MMM SKIN TIGHT LEATHER SUITS~

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

ESPIONAGE IS ALWAYS AN EXCELLENT ANSWER. NOR WOULD I TURN DOWN FANSERVICEY 'FORCED' KISSES.

No one's really sure what citizenship Cas has or where he was born.

[ariadnes-string.livejournal.com]

You turn your back on SPN for one minute and this is what happens O_0

They're high school teachers by day, a secret government unit by night. Dean is the English teacher all the girls swoon over--but actually a computer genius; Cas is the history teacher, who is a viciously good interrogator; Meg is the school librarian (glasses and cardigans by day--leather at night)--who can really kill people with a pencil sharpener; and Sam is the football coach--he's the hired muscle with a heart of gold.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

S6 has been so full of AWESOME SURPRISES AS SUCH.

AHAHA YES YES DOES DEAN NAME HIS CODES AND DECRYPTION PROGRAMS AFTER FAMOUS VICTORIAN POETS? I BET HE DOES.

SUPERVISING DETENTION BY DAY AND GRADING PAPERS BY NIGHT. OMG CAN BEN AND AARON AND CLAIRE AND JESSE BE THEIR STUDENTS.

[hiza-chan.livejournal.com]

WAIT WAIT WAIT WHAT IS THIS?! LIKE. FOR REAL.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

SWAN DIVE INTO THE BEST SPOILERS OF YOUR LIFE (http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_spnparty/335392.html)

[copper-on-mars.livejournal.com]

INSTANT OT4. *____*

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

MY THOUGHTS SEXACTLY.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

CLEARLY THEY ARE GRAD STUDENTS INVESTIGATING THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF SAM'S DISSERTATION.

(no, for real, WHAT. Gamble! I am going to be possibly very entertained! But who is this Meg person?)

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

THAT IS TO SAY IS THIS MEG-MEG? DEMON MEG? IS SHE BACK FROM THE DEAD?

[metonomia.livejournal.com]

I would watch ALLLLLL of these shows. GET ON IT, SERA GAMBLE.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I LOVE HOW WE ALL JUST YELL AT SERA NOW THAT WE KNOW SHE IS WATCHING.

SERA, DO MY LAUNDRY. SERA, CLEAN MY ROOM! MAKE THESE SHOWS!!

[zeitheist.livejournal.com]

I'm outing myself as having been lurking on your journal here, but OMG I WONDERED WHAT KIND OF SHOW AS WELL. My conclusions:

1. A show about a team of Urban Explorers.
2. Science-fiction series about displaced time-travellers. Meg is originally from the 1800s and greatly pleased by the invention of leather jackets and women's rights. Castiel is from a distant, dystopic future. Sam and Dean were fighting in the Marine Corps in WW2 when they fell through time. Together, they fight crime deal with other displaced time-travellers.

O-OR DEAN COULD BE A CYBORG AND CASTIEL A CYBORG ENGINEER AND THEY DISCUSS POETRY. I could be down with that.

*scuttles away*

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Oh hey! Dude, NGL, I have poked around your LJ too because hey look, someone who writes awesome fic and asks interesting questions about daemon. I AM INTRIGUED. I guess what I am saying is... frenz? :D?

I SECOND BOTH THOSE SHOWS. YES OMG. Of course they can be reality TV, why did I not think of that! Except with ridiculousness where a building Sam is exploring collapses and they all have to rescue him, and there is lots of UST between Dean and Cas.

OMGGG WHO ADJUSTS BETTER TO THE 21st CENTURY, CAS OR MEG? Do Sam and Dean give him blank stares when he says he needs a gigafluxtron for his anbaricarthypode? DO CAS AND CELLPHONES STILL DO BATTLE. IS MEG ADDICTED TO TELEVISION.

[amonitrate.livejournal.com]

I just. I just love this entire post.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

The alien cyborgs love you back.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

I FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS CAS/MEG THING.

IT IS PRETTY MUCH ALL GLEE. can it hurry up? because I could totally use some joy right now.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

SO MANY STRONG FEELINGS. WHAT IS THIS WORLD I AM LIVING IN.

So many huuuuggggsssss also. You and your family are in my thoughts, I wish you guys nothing but the best. i <3 u, betsy. sending good vibrations your way now.

[deedlit50.livejournal.com]

How can I love you this much? I'm pretty sure it should be physically impossible.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

RIGHT NOW, IN THAT GIF, I AM SAM AND YOU ARE THE LITTLE GUY. <3333

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THESE :DDDDDDDDDDD

I WANT THIS SHOW, ALL THESE SHOWS, SDFL;KJSFDKSD THIS EP RIGHT NOW AND FOREVER. MEG. MEGGGGG. FIERCE SASSY DEMON: ORIGINAL FLAVOR <33333

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I also want the show where they are SCIENTISTS who go around saving the world from BIG EXPLOSIONS and who sometimes need to be saved from ~themselves. Sam has an MA in sociology too and he gets made fun of for this. Cas is an astrophysicist with a drinking problem.

This is kind of like that "I Surrender" meme but backwards! I'm tempted to write fic for these fake shows and co-opt screencaps to construct episodes!

FIERCE SASSY DEMON: ORIGINAL FLAVOR <33333
AT FIRST I WAS LIKE "WHAT DOES SAM/CAS HAVE TO DO WITH IT??" lololol ok i get it.

[ibroketuesday.livejournal.com]

"Yo, I rewired my forearm last night, check it out," Meg says. She points her finger like a gun at the TV, and yells, "Pow!"

The TV turns on.

"Sweet," Sam says, and high-fives her.

YES. YES.

ALIAS!SPN = ALSO APPROVED.

God, idek why but that Meg/Cas picture is killing me with hot.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I've never watched Alias but it SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE I SHOULD.

IT'S HOT 'COS IT'S FLY, BB. Embraaaaace ittttt.

[dayadhvam-triad.livejournal.com]

/is terribly late to the party, but--

I just wanted to say, I am drawing hearts all over this post. SPIES AND ALIENS AND CON ARTISTS AND CYBORGS! 8DDD love love love. ♥!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]
