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?

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.

I WANT ALL OF THESE SHOWS.

BUT ESPECIALLY THE ROBOTS.

(Jesus, Jared looks even bigger than usual in that pic)

I WANT IT ALL.

ALL OF IT.

ALL OF IT AT ONCE.

WHY CAN'T ALL OF THESE THINGS EXIST AT THE SAME TIME IN ALL OF EXISTENCE?

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"?

I feel like there could be a fantastic fic meme/challenge writing stories based solely off these pictures, with no necessary to connection to the show at all. I would TOTALLY read a fic where Cas is some kind of Secret Agent Man and Sam is a high-functioning sociopath-cum-assassin for hire.

LOOKS LIKE A PORNO TO ME.

I WANT TO WATCH THIS SHOW EVERY SINGLE DAAAAAAAAAAY

MMM SKIN TIGHT LEATHER SUITS~

[identity profile] cherryshadowz.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV. IT'S A SHOW ABOUT ESPIONAGE. MEG IS THE CLOSE COMBAT SPECIALIST, DEAN IS THE GUN MAN, SAM IS THE 'SPECIALIST' (DECIDE WHAT THAT MEANS, I SAY HE'S THE ONE WHO SLEEPS WITH THE ENEMY FOR INFO. GRATUITOUS SHIRTLESS SAMMY ABOUND) AND CAS IS THE 'FOREIGN' GUY...ALWAYS. HE GOES UNDERCOVER A LOT (MMMMM SUIT MISHA).

ITS A FANSERVICE SHOW WHERE EVERYONE HAS A THING WITH EVERYONE ELSE BUT IT'S NOTHING BUT UST AND A FEW 'FORCED' KISSES.

LET THE EXCITEMENT BEGIN!

You turn your back on SPN for one minute and this is what happens O_0

They're high school teachers by day, a secret government unit by night. Dean is the English teacher all the girls swoon over--but actually a computer genius; Cas is the history teacher, who is a viciously good interrogator; Meg is the school librarian (glasses and cardigans by day--leather at night)--who can really kill people with a pencil sharpener; and Sam is the football coach--he's the hired muscle with a heart of gold.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WHAT IS THIS?! LIKE. FOR REAL.

[identity profile] animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
CLEARLY THEY ARE GRAD STUDENTS INVESTIGATING THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF SAM'S DISSERTATION.

(no, for real, WHAT. Gamble! I am going to be possibly very entertained! But who is this Meg person?)

I would watch ALLLLLL of these shows. GET ON IT, SERA GAMBLE.

I'm outing myself as having been lurking on your journal here, but OMG I WONDERED WHAT KIND OF SHOW AS WELL. My conclusions:

1. A show about a team of Urban Explorers.
2. Science-fiction series about displaced time-travellers. Meg is originally from the 1800s and greatly pleased by the invention of leather jackets and women's rights. Castiel is from a distant, dystopic future. Sam and Dean were fighting in the Marine Corps in WW2 when they fell through time. Together, they fight crime deal with other displaced time-travellers.

O-OR DEAN COULD BE A CYBORG AND CASTIEL A CYBORG ENGINEER AND THEY DISCUSS POETRY. I could be down with that.

*scuttles away*
