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?

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.

THEY SOUND NOTHING LIKE COLDPLAY! I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE, PROBABLY SOME FAIRLY MARKETABLE ROCK BAND THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE COLDPLAY. OR MAYBE LIKE SONIC YOUTH. I DON'T KNOW-THAT PART'S STILL IN DEVELOPMENT. WHENEVER I TRY TO IMAGINE CASTIEL SINGING AND DANCING, IT ENDS UP LOOKING A LOT LIKE DAVID BYRNE, SO IT'S KIND OF THROWING ME OFF.

THEY NEVER SEEM TO LEARN ANYTHING, BUT THEIR SONGS WILL TIE IN WONDERFULLY WITH THE ENDING MONTAGE.

THE SOUNDTRACK'S GONNA BE PRETTY AWESOME THOUGH. I BET CAS WILL DO COLLABORATIONS WITH TOM WAITS, EXCEPT NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND THEIR SONGS BECAUSE THEIR VOICES TOGETHER SOUND LIKE A BUSY DAY AT THE QUARRY.

THE CAS/WAITS DUET WOULD REVERBERATE INTO THE EARTH AND AWAKEN MONSTERS FROM THE DEEP. WHICH THEY'LL HAVE TO FIGHT IN THE SEASON FINALE.

I'VE TOTALLY ALREADY PREORDERED THE SOUNDTRACK.

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

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