In working on the entry for
Croatoan in the Super-wiki, I did a bit of research on the other demon names that Sam says are associated with 'Croatoan' in John's journal.
What I found linked the names - 'Deva' and 'Resheph' - back to Zoroastrianism and Mesopotamianism. I put a brief summary of my findings on the page for The Demon,
here.
I'd be interested to see what folks with better research-fu came up with on this stuff!
Also, I know I ask this every so often, but you guys always come up with the goods - I've seen/heard of draft scripts and sides for season 2 episodes kicking about. Can anyone send them to me, for uploading to the wiki?
You can email them to hope@oscillating.net, or just comment with a link to where I can find them. If they're for future episodes, please just label the filenames with the episode number, so's I can avoid the spoilers :D
Thanks!
