I have this habit of writing LJ entries, especially long entries, off and on over a period of days. This often means I end up starting a meta post about something and I don’t finish it till several weeks later or forget about it completely. As I was backing up my files today I discovered a season 4 SPN meta entry dated a few months ago that was never finished. While events have gone in the direction I have predicted it has done so in a manner that I didn’t foresee. So, I’m pretty much watching season 4 as opposed to meta-ing about it every second post. However, as we are in the last leg of this season I thought I might as well write down a few predictions and some half-assed meta about the characters and the ending of season 4.
- Sam is Lucifer. I made the call several months ago (September last year), and I’m sticking by it till I’m proven 100% wrong.
- Dean is the Second Coming. The whole thing would be poetic justice and really awesome plot symmetry. Also, the fact that the End of the World appear to be more on Dean’s shoulders than Sam’s is making me want to put my bet on Dean, in whatever capacity he may operate under.
- Ruby is Meg. This is a new concept, actually I only thought of this after 416. The little smirk on her face as Sam drank her blood was just too reminiscent of Meg for my own comfort. This is bad because my whole SPN bigbang has been scrapped.
- SPN!God is playing hooky (like Dogma’s God) and someone is impersonating it (not enough angels have seen SPN!God, this is just slightly suspicious), or SPN!God is a down-right bastard who only wants to win at all cost. I can’t really decide on which yet.
- a) Actually what would be hilarious is if Dean is SPN!God playing hooky. I would die laughing if this is the case.
- b) If SPN!God is an uncaring bastard (ala Preacher!God) then I want Dean and Sam to kill it. The whole thing is a bit nihilistic but seriously the point of SPN, or it was, ordinary people fighting for the greater good because it is the right thing to do.
- Castiel will choose Dean. The end.
- a) Except it really isn’t that simple is it? Castiel will more than likely die because SPN can rack up a pretty high body count. The question is will he stay dead? Are we going to see a lovey-dovey God who works in mysterious and forgiving ways, or is Kripke really a nihilist?
- Bobby is going to die, because I think it makes sense, plot and theme wise. For the past 4 seasons the boys have had their support stripped away one-by-one (or more). The viewer is told over and over again, in all the show’s anvilious ways, that it is all about SamandDean, it only makes sense to remove the last human support the boys have. By removing Bobby you are making them truly alone. It is the Winchesters against the World once more, though I wonder if the possible death of Bobby will lead to a case of Winchester vs. Winchester. In addition, if you think about it Bobby not longer serves a purpose in regards to the plot or the boys. SamandDean is a bit beyond the help of simple-but-awesome-Bobby.
- Sam and Dean on opposite side because Sam is becoming too much of an addict and Dean is becoming too much of a fatalist.
- Sam turning up to be ‘good’ despite the demonic blood, perhaps in season 4. Because sometime you need somebody with the same abilities as the bad guys to take them down.
- Lilith chew off too much than she can handle. Sam will have her head on a platter, bloody.
- The season ending is going to kill all of us; Bobby dead, Sam becoming the Big Bad, and Dean all mopey or vengeful. It is hard to say.
That was fun!
In regards to The Sarah Connor Chronicles... please don’t spoil me, I waiting for the last 2 episodes to be released before I watch all 3 episodes in a row.

- a) Actually what would be hilarious is if Dean is SPN!God playing hooky. I would die laughing if this is the case.
Oh, good God, I was DRINKING as I was reading that. I was extremely close to spit water all over my monitor.
It would be hilarious if Dean was God! SERIOUSLY HILARIOUS.
*SAD sigh*.
"Oh, thank God!"
"That's my name, don't wear it out."
"Dude, shut up."
"Blasphemer!"
"Dude, Jesus was my son!"
"Do you think I can turn water into beer? I mean Jesus did."
You WIN! I cannot beat that, I just can't.
Don't worry, I love long comments, and it is always nice to meet another fan.
Also agree that Sam's going to have Lilith's head, and that he's going to turn out to be good in the end.
I think S4 is going to end with the boys just having resolved their conflict, but failing to save the final seal (possibly because one of them has refused to kill the other at the very last moment). And the Big Bad is going to rise. That's the cliffie we'll be left with over the summer.
I hope! Because really, all of that sounds pretty freaking AWESOME!! :)
I want to see Sam and Dean attempt to kick each other's ass, have Sam win the fight but choosing Dean above everybody at the end because if nothing else the Winchesters knows the bonds of blood.
Ohhh, I like your theory! See, my take on the whole thing is that they resolve their issues, and then the fianl seal breaks, which lead to Sam becoming Lucifer, and then we shall see the fall out in s5.
End of s4 is going to be Epic!
This could explain much. Yet, it could be all so disturbing with Dean as god.
