28 Days Later comic
Initial launch story will be firmly based in 28 DAYS LATER continuity with the first arc focusing on Selena. Bridging the gap between 28 DAYS LATER and 28 WEEKS LATER, a few key questions will be answered along the way: what happened to Selena after 28 DAYS LATER? How did Selena happen upon the machete she wields in 28 DAYS LATER?

So, Supernatural fandom. What's up with all the horrifyingly OOC fanmixes? Are you aware that Dean is nearing 30, with Sam close behind him, and they spend their life on the road, out of touch with the finer details of popular teen culture? And for those reasons, in addition to taste, (Dean particularly, though Sam too, if only to avoid the inevitable mockery) would never, ever be caught dead listening to a My Chemical Romance/Iron & Wine /Arcade Fire mixtape? No, really. Really, really. STOP. As elspethdixon pointed out, SPN has one of the best soundtracks known to man. Learn from it. As Dean dispenses his manly tears, so too employ your emo and your indie: sparingly, and for deliciously pretty dramatic effect.

But fanmixes. It brings up an interesting question: is it better to select songs that could be part of the canon (the official soundtrack, listened to by the characters), or songs that describe your feelings about the character? I like both kinds of mix, but I wish mixers were more committed to commentary, so I could figure out what they were going for. Liner notes people!

Btw, bless you Wikipedia, for listing this important information about Dean Winchester:

Specialty
Combat
Hunting
Driving
Torturing

Dean Winchester: for all your driving and torturing needs.

I don't want Castiel to fall. I like your second scenario there. I really want this to play out with there being corruption in heaven, possibly involving Zacariah (who's a little sketch), and Castiel, with Anna's support, being the one to root it out.

Are you spoiled for the upcoming episodes? I read an incredibly vague but interesting one that's on topic re Sam.

I am not but please, spoil away!!!
I am intensely interested in speculation.

Ok, so Lucifer is going to rise either at the end of this season, or some time in the next. The season finale is supposed to feature the brothers 'battling' each other. Dun, dun, dun.

The speculation is that Lucifer's rising involves Lilith's death at Sam's hands.

OH!! Yes, I have heard that Lillith may be the last seal!
A small part of my brain wondered at the obvious handing off of Dean's necklace when he met up with Sam again.

And I heard a theory about the first seal, Dean, having Lucifer inside him. References in the show to Lucifer being in his 'rotting prison' and such?

Re Lucifer: That's an interesting theory, but I sincerely hope it's not true.

It just feels wrong to me.
