Friday! It's the new THUUUUUURSDAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
Supernatural Season 6 Premieres today! Are you ready? I know I'm not! WAH! \o/
Non-spoiler-influenced theories for season 6
-Of course Sam and Dean will be back together and hunting things. Eventually. The story hasn't come full circle yet, and to do that, that's where they have to end; where they began.
-Sam. Dunno what he is, why he's back, whether he's whole or parts or other or what. I do know that with Sera in charge there is definitely one thing Sam will be: Naked. Or semi-naked. Or sweaty. Or combinations thereof. Frequently. (And I will blush and hide in my shirt collar until the plot comes back. Frequently. XD )
-Lisa and or Ben will likely be grievously imperiled in some way at some point. Hoping neither of them get killed, but this show has a bad track record with the survival of Winchester allies. Also because while the whole Apocalypse thing might be dealt with, all the nasties the Winchesters have been fighting aren't going to just go, "Aw shucks, Dean's retired, let's not bother him in his new normal life in his stationary, relatively undefended suburban house".
-Speaking of evil thingies with grudges, Meg's gotta be pissed. She hitched her wagon to the Morning Star, so to speak, and now her boss is dead. Again.
-If Ben doesn't want to go with Dean when he goes off hunting, I will be faintly disappointed. If Ben does something unbelievably silly like stowing away in the Impala whenever Dean and Sam take off together, I will laugh myself silly. And also cheer. Plus it makes sense from a character arc standpoint to have the boys have to deal with a kid in a hunting situation to gain perspective on their own lives. Much as de-aging Sam and getting Colin Ford and Jensen Ackles in the same room for many scenes would be unbearably awesome... I don't know why that couldn't happen, actually. It could happen. Handwavey magic stuff happens all the time on this show. I want this to happen. Are you listening Sera? Please make it happen? I'll stop teasing you about the inevitable naked Padalecki if you do? *smiles ingratiatingly*
-Bobby's soul belonging to Crowley will either be handwaved away (not likely) or come to a crisis point somewhere just pre-hiatus. Guess which one's most likely.
-Castiel is not going to find being the 'new sheriff' of Heaven easy, and will involve either the Heavenly Roadhouse crew, or just Sam and Dean in some form of crisis of angels, possibly creating a minor arc in the season.
-MOAR TIME TRAVEL! Because if anything's been fixed, time travel can still break it, and there are bound to be apocalypse factions in Heaven and Hell still trying to end things permanently. So as long as it's available to anyone, time travel will continue to occur. YAY! \o/
-Sam will return Dean's amulet. *shakes fist*
-Chuck will turn up, completely human, with no memory. Because he's not God, and prophets are just potential vessels of God, and Chuck happened to get tapped. And if God shows up still looking like Chuck, it'll be because God's not done with the vessel yet. *is obstinate*
-All the stuff still on the wall from last season is still on the wall. Including Jesse the surfer antichrist, cupids and vampires and all that other stuff.
-The series (which will probably end this year) will end with Sam and Dean, in the Impala, driving off together, classic rock playing, to hunt more evil things. On some level or other. Because that's how it should be.
