BIG EXPLOSIONS! WIREWORK! FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY!

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?

WILL THEY HAVE TO FIGHT THE MONSTERS WITH LOVE AND ROCK 'N ROLL?!?

OMG THE PEACH MANGO PIE THAT COMES IN THAT BOX THING AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE PIE AT ALL BUT THEY CALL IT PIE ANYWAYS?

IT'S MORE LIKE A FRUITY BURRITO, OR SOMETHING.

FFFUUU NOW I WANT SOME.

DAMN YOU! I SWEAR, OUR CONVOS ALWAYS GO CASTIEL -> REMINISCE -> FOOD FROM MOTHERLAND.

[identity profile] switchbladesis.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
YES. ALSO LASERS.

CASTIEL -> REMINISCE -> FOOD FROM MOTHERLAND.

WELCOME TO MY PSYCHE, WHERE CAS HAS A PENCHANT FOR MACAPUNO CANDY AND GETTING PIECES OF MANGO STUCK BETWEEN HIS TEETH.

YOU CAN'T FIGHT MONSTERS WITHOUT LASERS. THAT'S JUST INSANITY! Ideally you also need a pure heart, and at least four bazookas.

NOTE TO SELF: TALKING TO LASSITER WHILE HUNGRY AND MISSING MOTHERLAND MAY CAUSE TEARY EYED NOSTALGIA

...OF LAUGHTER.

BECAUSE DEAR GOD CASTIEL STRUGGLING TO GET THOSE PIECES OFF HIS TEETH, OH DEAR LORD. HE'D SMITE THAT YUMMY GOODNESS, FOR SURE.

Unfortunately he keeps reciting it. Like, constantly. It annoys Meg but Castiel isn't in any hurry to fix him because, well, at least he's stopped asking questions about why he suddenly knows how to snap human necks with one hand.

The line becomes like the Edith Piaf song from "Inception", a warning system for an upcoming shift. Dean doesn't remember what happens during these blackouts. As long as it doesn't interfere with their "but what difference is there really between me and you?" eyesexversations, Cas isn't too bothered.

DEAN KEEPS GIGGLING LIKE SOME KID AT CAS'S GENUINE LOVE FOR SQUID BALLS IN BANANA KETCHUP

[identity profile] hereare-mysins.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I love me some squid balls. Oh Canada, why don't you have squid balls?! Or fish balls. Although fish balls don't really don't look like balls. They actually look like discs, if I remember correctly.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Ya, they're not so spherical, but they're not disc-like, I don't think. PERHAPS YOU ARE THINKING OF SQUID RINGS?

Oh, Dean doesn't remember, but he starts to suspect. The way Sam won't meet his eyes any more. This one time he finds a chunk of skin that isn't his lodged under one of his fingernails. "Why don't we go out to a bar tonight, bang a few gongs?" he asks. Castiel doesn't look up from his workbench. Dean gets tired of waiting for an answer and goes to play poker with Sam and Meg.

Later in bed Dean asks, where did this scar come from, and this one, and this one? Castiel tells him they were just upgrades. "I'm trying to fix you," he mumbles into Dean's shoulder.

Dean's been learning though. About himself, about how to fix it. "Our changing bodies," he joked to Cas, as Cas explained the wiring in his arm. "You need to know how to take care of yourself," Cas said, and Dean's never sure whether Cas really doesn't pick up on the humor or whether he's just ignoring it.

Dean knows how to hack into himself. He goes to Cas's lab at night and he cuts his wrist open, hooks up a blue wire tucked under his tendon into the main computer. His vision flickers when the download starts, and his skin tingles. His eyes start to water.

The first memory: Dean remembers pulling back his fist, and a terrified face, and then--

[identity profile] lexhibition.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
--then, "It's still Dean," Cas is saying to Sam and Meg at breakfast. "He'll still act the same, but it will take some time for him to form new memories. The wipe was pretty thorough." Sam has a mouthful of eggs and can't ask what he wants to so he just nods. Meg purses her lips and doesn't finish her bacon. Castiel takes it for Dean 2.0 because he needs his strength and they all discuss politely what a shame it is about the Vice President being killed like that.

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!!!

ONE TIME DEAN AND SAM HAVE A COMPETITION TO SEE WHO CAN EAT THE MOST FISH BALLS AND IT DOESN'T END WELL FOR ANYBODY

[identity profile] hereare-mysins.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
FROM EXPERIENCE, I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH.

I CAN SEE DEAN AND SAM DOING THIS WHILE CASTIEL WATCHES IN AMUSEMENT, EATING TAHO AND SAGO WITH A LANYARD OF SAMPAGUITAS AROUND HIS NECK.

OH GOD THAT IS CUTE. EEE!

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
WELL, THERE'S THE FIRST SEASON.

The second season is about Dean finding odd evidence of him doing things he hasn't before, but that is only the background subplot thread for the main mytharc of Sam and Meg trying to break ten Guinness World Records in the shortest amount of time.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
OH MY GOD CASTIEL WITH SAMPAGUITA GARLANDS?!? OH MY GOD DID DEAN BUY THEM FROM THE STREET KIDS BECAUSE HE CAN'T HELP HIMSELF?! Of course he makes Cas wear them. He made Sam wear them too, but Sam just put them on Cas also when Dean wasn't looking.

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

[identity profile] hereare-mysins.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
DUDE! DUDE. YOU KNOW DEAN TOTALLY BOUGHT THEM FROM THE STREET KIDS. HE BOUGHT THE WHOLE LOT Of THEM AND PUT THEM ALL ON CAS, AND SO DID SAM. SO CASTIEL KINDA LOOKS SILLY AS HE WALKS AROUND WITH ALL OF THEM AROUND HIS NECK, EATING HIS TAHO. And the kids are totally not laughing at him.

MAYBE IF I REPOST IT WITH LARGE ALLCAPS GLITTERTEXT, SERA WILL SEE IT AND WE WILL GET OUR WISH.

I KNOW YOU OUT THERE, SERA. OR MISHA, WHO FEEDS THINGS TO SERA VIA SECRET TWEETS.

OH CAS, WITH YOUR SKEWED SENSE OF HUMILITY.

OMG OMG OMG SINS CAN YOU IMAGINE SAM TRYING TO RIDE IN A TRICYCLE?? OMGGGGGGG COMEDY GOLD
