I have a theory...

I wonder how long it will be before "I have a theory" is no longer followed by "it could be bunnies" in my head.
Imagine a Supernatural musical! Ok, way off topic there.

I have a theory...

("They've got those hoppy feet and twitchy little noses...")

That Sam came back with residual vessel issues (RVI...there's probably a prescription for that). That is, I think it is Sam, not Lucifer, but that he's...demon-touched, I guess?

There's also a possibility that he's actually possessed by a climber who rode him out of hell.

And one of my students today suggested that he could be Michael, which is interesting, though a pretty dark-horse long-shot if you ask me.

I'm sticking with RVI. In fact, I'm working on a proprietarial formula... *grins*

"What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?"

ETA: I meant to add that while I think your interpretation of Chuck as Christ is impressive and totally logical, I suspect Kripke would have to be suicidal to actually attempt it, given the current theocratic push in parts of this fair nation. *sighs*

A lot of people have said (or wondered if) Chuck was God. Do you think people in general would be more upset if they thought he was Jesus? Hmm.

RVI :) Yeah, I think they make an ointment for that.

Speaking of vessels - it looked to me like Sam pulled Michael into the pit. I wonder if he could have brought himself to do that if Michael was in Dean. I further wonder if that's actually part of the reason they brought Jake Able back.

I think whatever Sam is, he's supernatural, because of the way the light flickered out. Maybe a ghost, but I'm hoping he's "new and improved" because it would add an interesting dimension to season 6.

OOOhhh! - me like! I've been circling around the idea that we had an antichrist so where is ouyt christ?

I also propose that Chuck was God as author - as referenced in MATEOTB - only Vonnegut did it epically with Kilgore Trout.

Related to that, there's the concept of Christ as the Word of God: "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." (John 1:14).
One of Christ's common styles of preaching was telling stories (parables). Some spn episodes have a moral lesson (well, usually more like moral quandaries), which would make them parables.
Just sayin' ;)

See that was also kind of in the back of my mind how the whole five season arc has a parable feel to it - very much a test of faith.
