As I have discussed before, I have Supernatural theories on the Sam-Max-Meg dynamic. Or rather, arc.

In part of the whole big conspiracy-theory arc, it's pretty damn obvious that Sam and Meg and Max are connected somehow. Regardless of their biological origins, I reckon in some aspect they're cuckoo babies - they're not just thematically similar, they're all part of the same 'generation' in the grand scheme of things.

That said, one of the things I love lots about the show is its ham-fistedness. It's not subtle at all in its 'subtext'/foreshadowing/semiotics.

( visual evidence )

The other parallells with Max are pretty obvious... like, their names ('Max' is 'Sam' reversed); and with Meg, too - Meg Masters for frick's sake. (Gee, I wonder who Meg's daddy could be?)


I keep getting excited about where the show is going, but also a bit terrified at how easily I can see it jumping the shark. I mean... I dunno. I may seem like a Sam fangirl, but honestly I am just as much a Dean fangirl. But my love for them is completely different. (And I freaking love that this show can cover all bases for me.) I love that Sam's everything I heart in a fictional character. All his wacky character-development and -arc, the way he's constructed, back story, all that... as a fictional character, I'm totally in love with Sam. He hits my buttons. On the other side, Dean gets me going in an entirely different way - Dean's meta-position in the text gives me a big fat intellectual hard-on. He solidifies (and at the same time, fluid-ifies) the entire discursive structure of the text. I just... nnng. Dean. Do me, and my brain plz kthx.

So anyway, shark-jumping. If Dean's position in the text is degraded and he gets sucked into the sub-level of the fictional text, its authority will be severely compromised and the shark, it will be jumped.

So. *crosses fingers*
