#3 – Chuck The Prophet
Why is Chuck so high? He’s a prophet for God’s sake! An ordinary, average sad sack loser who was chosen by someone high above (maybe even God himself) to see and write the all important story of “The new New Testament.†He’s instantly earned protection from an archangel and can’t even kill himself, for angels have that covered too.
Oh, but poor Chuck. He’s a loveable guy that didn’t take the news of his holy destiny very well. Who would though? I mean, what happens when you write an entire series of novels on fictional brothers saving the world only to have them show up on your doorstep one day? What do you do when you end up writing yourself into the story because you see it during your “process,†but omit pertinent details like one brother drinking demon blood to make him look less sympathetic and to leave out the fact you’re a prophet to avoid “M. Night†level of douchiness?
It’s all a bit too much for Chuck, who when called upon to perform heroics balks at it entirely. Eventually he caves to intimidation by Dean. He does save the day though, so no matter how he’s pushed, he scores big. He’s far less reluctant when asked to give the location of Sam in the finale, probably because he knows the end is coming. His attempt to order a night with 20 high priced hookers lets on he knows something we don’t. In the face of danger though, he stands beside Castiel in solidarity against the archangel, even if Castiel doesn’t care for the shoulder grab. Angels are so damned touchy!
“Look, uh, I appreciate your enthusiasm. Really, I do. It’s always nice to hear from a fan. But for your own good I strongly suggest you get a life.”
Chuck: Oh. wow. Wow. That sounds…moist. Uh, what are your rates?
Woman: (on the phone): We can get you one girl, one hour — $1,000.
Chuck: Okay. Then, uh, I’ll take 20 girls for the whole night.
Woman: Um, sir, I’m not sure you can afford that.
Chuck: Lady, sometimes you got to live like there’s no tomorrow.
thank you for all these wonderful articles it’s helped me get thru this silly season. still counting down. :roll::
Good list ( What, no Ash? For shame… )
I wouldn’t have called the Splendidly Heroic Fixer Genius that is Bobby exactly unsung though … The one thing the endlessly squabbling hoards of nit-picking malcontents that make up the SPN fandom do actually manage to agree on is that Mr. Singer is a bloody good egg! ( Next poster will no doubt point out a shedload of sites dedicated to slagging him off … 😆 )
Hiya, nice top5. I agree, these guys are quite the heroes 🙂 I was kinda wondering if you were gonna but the Impala in here… but I still like your choices.
Thanks for this, it was a great read 🙂
Awesome as ever, Alice,
I love looking at these characters, past and present (or past and finally soon to be present) and remembering all they brought. Great job pulling out aspects of their personalities and tieing it in with the dialogue.
I’m with the others in agreeing that this site, these articles, all the posts back and forth have made this hellatus fly by. Imagine starting out with 17 weeks (which we didn’t even know at the time it would be 17 weeks) and now we’re down to 17 days…whee, I have toes leftover after I count!
Thanks for this wonderful list. Agree wholeheartedly. Expecially about the awesome Bobby. How I do love that guy. (And also fear greatly at times that the PTB’s will want to kill him off. Please nonononono not ever!)
There has been one site that dislikes him a lot and complains that he overshadows the brothers when they should be solving their own problems. Also complaining that he takes time away from them. I guess they would be happy for Dean and Sam to be the only people in the show and on camera 100% of the time. LOL! Poor J’s! They would be comatose by now.
I just love the fact that Dean has this great friend who is more fatherly towards him than John ever was since he was 4 years old. You can really see how very much Bobby loves him. Great acting by Jim!
This site has certainly helped us through the hellatus and we are very grateful to you Alice, and Elle2 for all your efforts. Many thanks to both of you for this friendly place we fans can visit.
I was betting in “uncle” Bobby to number one on this, and I was right!
Great as usually Alice 😀
And only 17 days to go…
😯 Cheers Bevie, I feel reassuringly bitter and twisted now … Still, we know how fab he is so stuff ’em all!
I love these lists! Hellatus has just disappeared in the blink of an eye with these fun top-tens. Thanks for the goodies Alice.
Don’t feel bad about technical difficulties – On Sunday morning my neighbourhood was without power for about 6 hours because a squirrel walked over a power line – viruses and power outages; these things happen.
Looking forward to the Winchesterisms!
Alice, isn’t it kind of sad that out of the 10 unsung heroes, seven of them are dead? Missouri Mosely and Chuck (God) are still alive, and Bobby did die, but he was bought back. Let us not forget that Anna turned out to be a backstabbing female dog.
