Wild Speculation. Join in.

Caution Supernatural fans, Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen ALL of last season. Avoid the comments as well.

And for those who have, this is to be speculation about what the frak is going on before all our ideas our made AU.


Okay, new season starting so I figured it was time for us to have some fun speculating. new season starts what, Tuesday? *reminds self to get VCR hooked up and tested*

Anyways, so what are everyone's favorite theories so far? Hmm, hmm? Specifically -

1. What in the hell is John playing at?



2. Okay, so exactly why is Sammy being targeted? I mean, if they wanted to kill him, why not just make him spontaneously combust in the crib already.



3. Feel free to offer solioquies about Dean. The altar to teh hotness is over there. *points*



4. So, do you really think that Sam did NO ghost hunting in college? I mean come on, I totally see him doing something some halloween. *looses demonic plot bunnies*



5. And anything I'm forgetting.

Let the speculation begin! And feel free to pimp out.


My own: Hey, it's my speculation meme, I can force you to read my theories if I want! *pouts*
--So my favorite theory is that John's dead and he's haunting his sons as he attempts to mend fences with Sam. And that Dean totally knows. Probably a complete load of BS, but hey, when the only people to talk to him have been the two who can see ghosts and are psychic, well. *shrugs*
--Sammy with the bullseye. Dean's said ghosts are "attracted" to those with ESP or whatever he has. So maybe ghosty in the hat just came to satisfy his curiosity about the baby. But then decided to torment the family. And now is trying to drive Sam insane so he can possess him? *shrugs* Hmm, maybe Jess was pregnant? I dunno, this thing confuses the shit out of me and they haven't given us enough clues. *hates on hiatus break*

Other interesting theories to be added to Come on, get to replying. Slackers.
Most cracktastic: from kurukami - Perhaps children with a reservoir of psychic power draw spirits and the like as an oasis of fresh water draws someone parched of thirst, for reasons beyond what we might understand. To increase their own power, to break beyond the bounds of what parapsychological limitations their classification might have placed upon them. (You know, geographical borders and whatnot.)

Evil spawn: from ignipes - A theory I'm rather fond of is that little Sammy isn't John son after all, but the son of some EvilFieryCeilingDemonSpawnThing. Or something. That's why The Ghost of Mummy Dearest told him she was sorry (though it would have been helpful if she had, you know, explained). Because cheating on your husband is one thing, but cheating on your husband with a Creature of EVIL!!!1!! is something else entirely. Maybe Sammy's being targeted by this thing not to kill him, but to get rid of people around him. (Or at least the ladies around him.) And being targeted by other things just because he's such an easy target. ;) She also offers up a plot bunny for the college question.

Perhaps they can use that power to barter in, I don't know, diabolical bazaars, far removed from this plane of reality. :)

John's dead and he's haunting his sons

That was totally what I thought in the episode with Missouri. But I think I've missed several eps, so I can't really speculate any farther than that.

Yay! Supernatural speculation! *dances*

A theory I'm rather fond of is that little Sammy isn't John son after all, but the son of some EvilFieryCeilingDemonSpawnThing. Or something.

And being targeted by other things just because he's such an easy target. ;)

I also like the idea that John's actually dead, too. We know that dead things can make phone calls, so...maybe. But, wow, if that's the case AND Dean knows...that just makes Dean's fucked-up psychological state even more fucked-up.

If John isn't dead now, I wouldn't be surprised if he died at some point in the future and the boys went after what killed him, whether or not he becomes a ghost after that. Just because that's the sort of plot arc that can be sustained in the format that the show is following.

So, do you really think that Sam did NO ghost hunting in college?

I'm surprised that nobody has yet written a fic in which Sam visits the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose and does a bit of hunting there. (Or maybe somebody has and I just haven't found it...?) I mean, really, it would be great. It's so close to Stanford, well-known for being haunted, and has their name! It would make a brilliant Sammy-hunting-at-college story. *ponders*

I could go on and on about my Grand Unified Theory of Dean, but I won't, not yet. ;)
