SPN questions that have been bugging me...

ash48and so I wondered if my knowledgeable flist could shed any light...
1. Was the demon in Croatoan (Duane Tanner) Meg? I admit to never thinking it was but I've come to realise that others think it is....?
2. When Ruby told Sam "You didn't need the feather to fly, you had it in you the whole time Dumbo", she's referring to Sam not needing the blood to be able to exorcise Demons yeah? So if that's the case why does Sam run out of "juice" when exorcising Demons? As in he wasn't able to exorcise Ruby after getting rid on Lilith. Is it because he is mentally exhausted? Spent his mental energies? Did he only think he needed blood in order to use his special skills. If so, does than mean he could actually exorcise demons now (and in S5) and doesn't because it would betray Dean's trust and just be too "darkside"? I'm thinking yes. But would he be able to without the connection to blood.... Hmmmm...
and finally (and this is because I am getting all wooby because I am in the middle of making a Sam vid and it's breaking me heart just a little...).
Why is Dean so hard on Sam with the choices he made after his death? I suppose that's rhetorical, because I know Dean has issues he's dealing with as well (and Sam choosing Ruby over himself cut to the core), but Dean copped out after Sam's death. He didn't want to live with the pain of grief. He couldn't live without Sam, so he bought him back.
Yet Sam had to suffer the terrible grief of losing Dean. He didn't have an out like Dean did. Now, sure Sam made some bad choices, but holy crap. I think Dean making a deal with a demon was a pretty bad choice as well. So yeah, cut your little bro some slack Dean. He was hurting mighty bad and the choices at the time helped him survive. Don't forget, you chose not to live with those feelings.....
(And that last one isn't really a question, just a rant. I know the way each of them have handled each others death is the whole point (well mostly) of S3 to S5. And I love it really! Just thinky thoughts...)

Date: 2010-01-04 12:22 am (UTC)Yeah. I've been having this conversation with
The demon blood thing, oh, isn't it a mess?
Oh yay. I'm not the only one who thinks so! (and I'm definitely getting that vibe from some of the responses here that lots of other peeps think so too).
Sam doesn't actually need the blood to use his powers, but I do think that the blood was addictive
Yes. I think I've come to that understanding too. Sam doesn't need the blood - and as
but I think there was a turning point at Head of a Pin,
I have to say I've never contemplated when he started drinking it. It only came to light at the end of S4, so I suppose I figured it was some time toward the end. Though there's an episode where Ruby comes to Sam and says something like "I know you don't like it, but you need it" - something like that, and at the time I think we are meant to think that she's talking about using his powers, but I think she's referring to drinking her blood. This suggests that he has had it before. (Actually I'm going to have to check up on this, because I have no idea which ep that's from, but I think this might help pin point when he might have started drinking it.....) Hee! Watch this space.... I'm curious about this now. But I have to dash in a minute so I can't check it now...)
but I also understand the grief and undeniable pain Sam was in from watching Dean being pulled apart by the hounds and by his own memories once he got back.
I'm so glad you said this because it's one of my main focuses on the Sam vid I'm making - watching his brother die like that (and his guilt for letting it happen) being the main catalyst for basically all his choices in S4.
Hee! And questions at the end.... oh yes! There's certainly A LOT of unanswered questions! ggrrrrr.
I'll be back.......
