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?

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--

--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.

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.

They get disqualified and stripped of their title because Meg is a cyborg and cheated on the 'Most pins inserted into face' by turning off her pain receptors.

It's the saddest day of Sam's entire life.

She would try holding breath underwater longest, but Meg's been getting a bit fritzy with prolonged water contact ever since she decided to stop letting Cas administer check-ups and upgrades.

Meg probably starts getting a bit frayed around the edges. Sam actually wins a game of chess!

And Dean's all like, come on, just let him take a look at you!

Meg meets Castiel's eyes from across the room and Castiel...well, he's never quite mastered the art of smiling. "No thanks," says Meg.

Dean shrugs and goes back to scrubbing the weird red stains out of his clothes. "Did I used to be a painter, or something?" he asks.
