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 BashÅ, 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?

Ahahahahaha. The illusion is complete!
BUT YES, LET'S BE FRANZ. Yours is the kind of awesome I want to subscribe to!
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.
Yes! The four of them drive from site to site in the Impala, even though Sam's fairly sure that a van would be more practical (Dean disagrees). In one episode Dean gets Pigeon Lung (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_Pigeon#Pigeon_Lung) and there are lots of shots of Castiel looking like he's ten seconds away from punching somebody.
(There is also a lot of illegal tresspassing onto abandoned buildings. Including trips to the King's Park Psychiatric Hospital (http://www.opacity.us/site3_kings_park_psychiatric_center.htm) in New York, Eden Hall (http://www.opacity.us/site74_eden_hall_chapel.htm#gallery145), and the Gaebler Children's Center (http://www.opacity.us/site189_gaebler_childrens_center.htm) in Massachusetts, which even manages to give Meg the creeps.)
MEG TOTALLY ADJUSTS BETTER TO THE 21ST CENTURY. She likes it better than her own time. Midway through series two she somehow finds herself back in the 1800s and is totally distraught - because she misses French fries and American Idol, obviously - and then there are group hugs when the boys finally get her back again. Cas totally doesn't understand cellphones, and hates pretty much all of our "primitive" technology! In the beginning he used to sneakily return home to the future to give his report, and be all "IF I WANT TO BREAK INTO A BUILDING, I HAVE TO INPUT A CODE INTO THE DOOR CONSOLE LIKE A SAVAGE". But then he sneakily starts to like
Deanthe past!Also, other displaced time travellers! Sam totally got Dean to take a picture of him with Albert Einstein
and then put it on his Facebook. In one episode Mozart falls into the 21st Century and him and Dean snap at each other for days whilst Sam and Castiel try to figure out a way to send Mozart back to where he belongs. In the end, right before Castiel finally gives in and starts strangling them both, Dean and Mozart bond over a mutual appreciation of classic rock.The story arc for series one involves Nikola Tesla falling through into the 21st Century and building a death ray.

This made me LOL.
Mannn, if I had Tivo, I would Tivo the hell out of this shit. And not that urban explorers are a ghost show, but sometimes ponderings about the supernatural poke through in their ramblings when talking about fear and darkness and the dead.
NOOOO NOT THE FRENCH FRIIIIIES. Oh god, I hope the rips in space-time making them become wayward time-travelers is never fixed. If at the finale finale, it's totally fixed and it's time to go home, I hope they choose each otherrrrr. AND THEN THEY ALL JUMP TO THE DINOSAUR AGE, TO RIDE A BRACHIOSAURUS.
HAHA IS THERE A SCENE WHERE MOZART STARTS RIFFING ON THE PIANO TO GUNS 'N ROSES?? And then Dean and Meg jump in and sing every word.

OMG THE MENTAL IMAGE OF CASTIEL RIDING AN APATOSAURUS ♥
Oh man, they totally fix the rips in space-time for the season finale, and there's this big scene where they're all standing around on the verge of saying goodbye, and then it's like:
Meg: ... you know, I'm really going to miss having rights.
Castiel: No doubt there will be some punishment awaiting me in my own time.
Meg: Diet Coke. I'm going to miss Diet Coke.
Pause
Castiel: I'm sure it wouldn't hurt for some of us to stay.
Meg: Right! I mean, who else is going to stop guys like Nikola Tesla?
Meg looks around her team, her boys, and starts to smile. Even Castiel begins to get that glint in his eye, the kind he only gets when he's being really rebellious. Sam looks over at Dean. Dean looks back at Sam and grins...
AND THEN THEY GO OUT AND GET DRUNK. Or something. I don't know, I'm not a writer.
HAHA IS THERE A SCENE WHERE MOZART STARTS RIFFING ON THE PIANO TO GUNS 'N ROSES??
Oh man, Castiel would be SO SOUR. He'd have all these RULES about conscientious time-travelling; "Don't teach Mozart the lyrics to Back in Black, Dean", "No, Dean, Friedrich Nietzsche doesn't "need" to see Star Wars", "I don't care if she is eight years old, Dean, you can't buy Queen Elizabeth I a McDonalds Happy Meal".
