Editor’s Note: @Dryzley posted this theory and all the associated questions about Supernatural‘s 14th season on Twitter recently. I thought they were intriguing and warranted more consideration than can be reasonably fit into 288 characters so I transferred it all here for you to ponder and discuss. October 11 isn’t that far away!
So every season the [Supernatural writers] pick a theme. It might be about family, relationships, choices, destiny, or secrets. Throughout the season, every episode has something that connects to that subject. I have been pondering season 14 and I think it might be about “Identity”. The season will start with a lot of characters in unknown territory.
1. Dean or Michael. How will Dean handle his time/exposure to being controlled by Michael? How will Dean be changed/influenced by it?
2. Sam without Dean. Sam will be thrust into a new role he has seldom experienced – Leadership. Will he be able to make the “Big Decisions”? Will the new AU Hunters follow him? Will he try to be a Parent to Jack? A brother to Castiel? A protective son to Mary?
3. Castiel without Dean. Castiel will be fulfilling the role Kelly wanted for him – a Father to Jack. Will he try to be like a brother to Sam? Will he try to help heaven?
4. Jack without Power. Jack has no powers – He will be a human teenager/young adult. How will he cope? Will he seek out Castiel for support? Will he turn to Sam?
5. AU Bobby. How will he adjust? Will he have feelings for Mary? Will he develop a friendship with Sam? Will he have some secrets that could cause problems?
6. AU Hunters in New World. What will they do? Try hunting monsters? Try to live quietly? Will they have PTSD problems?
7. AU Michael. How will he look at this world? Will he pick up any of Dean’s personality traits? Will he need to find a source of power? Human souls? Will he feel a need to be “The Only Michael” & do something with Adam/Michael [still in the cage]?
So as the season develops, we may see the characters dealing with some of these issues. If so, this could be a very exciting storyline/plot.
What questions would you add to the list? What alternate theme do YOU think season 14 might pursue? Let’s Discuss!
The words “Season Eleven” just about says it all (insert your own “This one goes to 11″ joke here). In one way you’re just shocked that your favorite show is still on the air and that you have something to look forward to on your Wednesdays each week. On the flip side, the show isn’t…
Aaaannndddd we’re back! Right, exactly where we left off, Supernatural picks up in the heart-shredding, creepy moment that it left us oh, so many months ago to learn what exactly happens when a Nephilim enters the world with the Winchester brothers there to bear witness. Hint: chaos, drama and pain. The premiere of season thirteen…
THEN: Cas and Dean argue in the bunker, Cas defending himself because plans change. Cas kills Belephagor (in Jack’s body). Rowena talks Sam into killing her and falls into the pit to hell. Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
This week, I’ve been musing about family dramas. There are many great examples of the genre in television, films, and novels. I wanted to review an episode of Supernatural that had some poignant family drama, so I picked the premiere episode of season five. This episode has incredible drama between our favorite brothers and also…
I’ll confess, my idea to update my angel meta by looking at what we learned about angels and how the show used them in seasons eight, nine, ten, and eleven turned out to be much harder than I expected. That wasn’t because of any depth or complexity in what the show presented. On the contrary:…
Thoughts on “The Devil You Know” Season five of Supernatural has been quite a mixed bag of episodes ranging from the phenomenal to the low-level mediocre and everything in between. For me, The Devil You Know fell about smack dab in the middle of those two, perhaps a little closer to the phenomenal than…
