Random Saturday Night thoughts

-What if there's a redemption arc next season for Lucifer? What if they try to get him to un-Fall? And it works?

-What if God hasn't 'left the building' but is stepping back to see what the Angels do when left to their own initiative? What they do when given the opportunity to develop and exercise free will? Who stays true to the ideals of Heaven and who goes for the big showy power grab? Maybe God's down-sizing?

-I'm fighting with the plot-bunnies. As usual after a finale, there's a big new bruiser in town and it's scaring the crap out of the rest of them. I'm letting it run for a bit. So far it's feeling like episode 5.01, with about as much resolution, and I'm nervous to post any of it because the last thing I need is another WIP. Not a whine, just a situation report.

You know what I think is going to happen? It's a
"It has happened before...it will happen again" situation. (HAI, Ron Moore!)

Season premiere and perhaps 2 other episodes where the boys (and Cas and Bobby?) run around frantic because Lucifer is out. I would say, probably also worrying about Sam going darkside. Then...they'll ignore the whole situation for the bulk of the season, while they pursue ordinary cases with some tenuous connection to the Hell problem. Episode 20 will bring us back to the freaking out. Lucifer will be defeated in 22.

Pardon my mild disdain for the whole thing. I'm one of the (many?) folk who think 4.22 was a lightly seasoned dose of *meh*. And I'm still pissed at Jim Beaver for heavily abetting the "Bobby dies" foiler. I was all prepared for it, and when it didn't happen, I went "Uhhh...HEY!"

Bunnies? #200 is at 13,000 words and still growing. Might be your guy's twin brother.

I've got a very different idea of what's going to happen, but I'm kind of twisted that way. And really, I doubt they'll actually rehabilitate Lucifer, but it just struck me as a different way of dealing with things and it amused me.

And I'm still pissed at Jim Beaver for heavily abetting the "Bobby dies" foiler. I was all prepared for it, and when it didn't happen, I went "Uhhh...HEY!"

*grins* They really love messing with you spoilerphiles don't they. The thing with the casting call for Castiel being for a demon, and now this? ;-)

I didn't hear the foiler or see it being pushed, but I still think it'll happen. It's part and parcel with Bobby's place in the story, traditionally, especially if they're drawing on the Hero Cycle. I hate foilers as much as I hate spoilers, because it makes me expect something to happen and not engage with the episode until after it does, so I'm glad I didn't hear this one.

Mine's not so big yet, but he's mean and full of plot-hooks I'll probably never write, and people will not like me for posting it and never continuing past the point it stops, whenever it stops. But I don't post fic so people will like me, I post it to share my brain-disease, so that's all good. ;-)
