growyourwingsI've been slowly rewatching S2. I just finished Houses of the Holy. This is one that I haven't watched to death. I liked it originally, but it wasn't one of those OMG! WOW! episodes for me at the time.
Didn't Kripke once say in an interview that SPN would not be dealing with angels at all? I can't remember if he said that before or after this episode--but I thought it was before the episode. At the time I watched this I thought this was Kripke's way of putting the whole angel possibilities to bed.
But my brain just wants to fill in speculation.
Didn't Kripke say recently (was it at LA?) that the SPN story is just as much about Dean as Sam? You could take that just to mean that Dean is one of the heroes of the story. But I found myself wondering while watching this episode if it isn't something more.
Remember how Dean has referred twice now to his mother saying Angels were watching over him? In HoTH you would think that he was just using that as an ironic demonstration about how wrong she was....that "nothing was watching over her."
But in HoTH Sam was asking the priest about Gabriel and how angels were more like warriors. And the priest said that the angels fought demons.
I couldn't help but think of Dean and Sam and how they fight demons.
And here's where I go TOTALLY out into left field. I really doubt this is anything, but I kinda want to write it down just in case it does turn out to be something and then I can say "YES! I so totally NAILED it!."
So if Sam has demon blood in him....
...what if Dean somehow has angel blood in him? Or is somehow an analogy to an angel. One that is watching out over Sam. One that fights demons (Sam?)
Kinda the Cain and Abel brother opposites (didn't I hear or read something somewhere that compared Sam and Dean to Cain & Abel?).
I don't know. This is not fully (or even partially) thought out. Just a random series of thoughts as I was watching the show. Knowing how frequently a show we've watched in the past can take on new meaning after seeing future episodes. After all we still have 2 years (right? right?) to go. Who knows if HoTH may mean something more before the end of the show.
