This makes me curious..

[ash48]

I've been working on the S4 motel rooms (those high pitched dolphin noises you hear are me when I come across a room that is made of awesome) and I noticed this room divider. It's made me curious because I just cannot fathom the significance of it (probably because there isn't any! *G*)

In most cases the room dividers are in keeping with the theme of the room. But this room divider is very distinct and yet, as far as I can tell, it's completely random...





Episode: 4.07 It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester

Initially I noticed that the centre design looked like a place for a key. That made me look at the rest of the divider and much to my excitement (shut up!) I noticed the other patterns were actually keys. (\o/) I mean... what the? Someone actually made the decision to make this. The motel is called The Moonlight Motel. I would have expected a moon themed divider or something like that..but keys?

Of course I could meta!wank and say this episode unlocks Dean's hell memories and Sam's powers or that this episode is the key to ....ummm.... halloween or something (?) but I think I might be pushing it. ;)

I totally accept that it could mean nothing (which is likely) but based on previous examples there's usually some meaning behind this stuff.

In the meantime...let's drool on the colour scheme of this motel.





Not only is the outside purple and green, so is the inside. I adore this colour combination. It's so out there and is often used in horror genres. (well, it's more often pink and green but purple is close enough. *g*)

Ok. Back to it. If you have any idea what the keys could mean feel free to tell me. Even if it's meta!wank. :DD (I'm going with that this show is the key to my heart...*g*)

Maybe it had something to do with Sam meeting the Angels? Keys were used in old paintings to denote St. Peter and him being given the "keys to heaven". Keys are seen as power, something to protect, so it could be in reference to Sam being backed into the corner to use his powers in front of Dean to save Dean? Or, wasn't the Samhain raising sorta a "unlocking"? He hadn't been brought to earth for thousands of years or something like that? I forget now, it's been a while since I watched that ep. Maybe they were playing off a perversion of the St. Peter thing but with Samhain and Hell?

I agree though, it was definitely for something, keys are SO random on their own to be thrown into set design!

Ooh...keys to heaven eh? I like all the ideas here. Samhaim was "unlocked" if I remember correctly and so were Sam's powers - (in a way).

There have been some great suggestions as to what they could mean - It makes me think that they were definitely there for a reason. :)
