1x22 “Devil’s Trap” “I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up.”
This will forever be one of those lines that for the casual viewer may sound like a throwaway line and a nice little detail about Dean’s childhood. It will always however be one of those lines that will always be among the most tragic ones too, because god knows we all know why Dean dreamed of becoming a fireman at a time when his father was already hunting, but he was too young to grasp what his father was doing. Because even when Dean was a small child he wanted to save lives, protect others and not just from anything, but from fire. Because that was what ripped his family apart as far as he as a kid could make any sense of. Because he didn’t know about monsters, about angels and demons. What he remembered was that there was a fire and that it killed his mom and in many ways his dad and most of all his childhood too…
So there has been a bit of “what if humans were the weird ones?” going around tumblr at the moment and Earth Day got me thinking. Earth is a wonky place, the axis tilts, the orbit wobbles, and the ground spews molten rock for goodness sakes. What if what makes humans weird is just our capacity to survive? What if all the other life bearing planets are these mild, Mediterranean climates with no seasons, no tectonic plates, and no intense weather?
What if several species (including humans) land on a world and the humans are all “SCORE! Earth like world! Let’s get exploring before we get out competed!” And the planet starts offing the other aliens right and left, electric storms, hypothermia, tornadoes and the humans are just … there… counting seconds between flashes, having snowball fights, and just surviving.
