Chat: morality (right v wrong)
A little change around this month - if you were looking out for the Ask the Author post this week, don't worry, it's still coming, just postponed to next week.
This month's roundtable chat is all about morality on Supernatural, right and wrong, where the lines blur. Sometimes people and events are black and white, evil and good, and everything is easy to classify. Sometimes less so. Much less so when vampires aren't trying to hurt people but hunters go rogue, when we don't know whether to trust demons or not.
The Winchesters themselves are trying to do good - hunt evil, save the innocent, make the world a safer place. But along the way there's some deliberate law-breaking (credit card fraud), some unavoidable law-breaking (grave desecration) and sometimes there's human collateral damage too. How do you think the writers are doing at showing this aspect of their lives? How do you react to it? Will we forgive almost anything if we're really invested in that character? Are we quicker to rationalise or accept behaviour habits in our favourite characters? What about the changes we see in Dean and particularly Sam over the two and a half years we've been following their lives?
As ever, these are just a few questions to get the ball rolling - feel free to discuss any tangents that interest you. And do jump in and chat on threads, answer each other.
