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?

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

LOLOLOLOLOL OMG XDDDDDDDDDD

GET OUT OF MY BRAIN BEFORE I MAKE YOU PAY RENT

OMG BUT FOR SERIOUSSSSSS I WANT TO LIVE IN ROBOT LAND FOREVERRRRR. Can Cas make MODIFICATIONS to Dean's hardware? Does it feel a litte more wrong every time he has a conversation with Dean? DOES DEAN LIKE PIE AND THAT SHOULDN'T BE PART OF HIS PROGRAMMING? Meanwhile Sam is on round six hundred and fourteen and still hasn't managed to beat Meg at table tennis. They play with a spare mechanic eyeball.

CAS HAS TO. SOMETIMES THE BODY BREAKS DOWN and Cas is the only one who can fix it, and at first Cas didn't really realize he was doing anything wrong with adding these new modifications. But then as he starts to get to know Dean, he starts to feel a little guilty about them, but TOO LATE NOW. DEAN WILL LEARN OF IT IN SOME PLOT TWIST IN THE SEASON FINALE and there are gonna be so many mantears.

IN ONE EPISODE, DEAN GETS A COMPUTER VIRUS. For porn adware. You should see the Director's Cut, man.

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

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.

SEE, NOW THIS IS THE KIND OF H/C I WOULD READ, WITH HACKER CASTIEL TRYING TO REBOOT DEAN'S SYSTEM WHILE DEAN BABBLES ABOUT CHEAP VIAGRA AND NEEDING TO MOVE MILLION OF DOLLARS OUT OF NIGERIA AND HE MASTURBATES UNCONTROLLABLY.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR ANYONE TO NOTICE DEAN WAS INFECTED AT ALL.

[identity profile] hereare-mysins.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I call for Cas to be Owen. :D

[identity profile] lexhibition.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
IT WAS PROBABLY MEG WHO NOTICED. HE KEPT INSISTING SHE LOOK AT THIS HILARIOUS LOLCAT HE HAD IN HIS PANTS.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Who is Owen?

[identity profile] hereare-mysins.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
*facepalm*

Context would totally help. First thing that came to mind was Torchwood, and I was all "CAS IS OWEN!"

Here's Torchwood.

Owen's the guy at the back with the leather. :D

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.

They have to work quickly. If the infection spreads, DEAN MIGHT HAVE TO BE REFORMATTED.

"OH GOD DONE, DID IT WORK, DID IT WORK?"

And they're all hovering around Dean on the operating table, everyone's all :-O waiting for Dean to wake up, and he mumbles something.

Meg's like, "What?" Dean mumbles it again, and Meg says, "Cas, I don't think it worked."

"It did," Cas says, because Dean just recited a line from that Bashō poem Cas was telling him about.

I certainly approve of Cas getting into that outfit.

Or out of it, whichever.

[identity profile] hereare-mysins.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow, Cas always wears little to no clothing in your books, it seems.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
What, when was the last time I made Cas strip in anything.

[identity profile] hereare-mysins.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Not in your literal books, but like, imagination. Or something. I am totally not making sense.

Let's just agree that he would look adorable in a barong.

OMG SPEAKING OF WHICH

EXCEPT NOT

BUT IT REMINDS ME OF IT ANYWAY

OH NO THAT IS OMG.

MY CHILDHOOD, IT NOW BURNS!!!

[identity profile] switchbladesis.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
