I love the nerdy references, like for example when Dean asks for “Wedge Antilles” (Wedge Antilles is Luke’s fellow pilot in the Death Star attack). Mostly those are the reasons why i watch the show. ---

Angels on earth signals the apocalypse. :smack: ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > Fair enough–I disagree, but everyone’s MMV. 😉 _shakes hands_ (Me, I’m just glad there are other fans to talk to on the SDMB!) Me too! Just looking up pictures of Dean and Sam on the internet all by my lonesome is, well, it’s kind of awesome, but I like to talk about the show, too. 🙂 **ouryL** - I think that was kind of the point. (Sam and Dean’s aliases are also part of why we watch the show. I’ve only seen them get busted on it once, in the first season - Dean called himself by a famous rock guy’s name, and the guy he was talking to recognized the name.) ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Am I the only one who was waiting, cringing, expecting Cassiel to say, “No, Dean. I’m Satan.” I’m worried that it’s still on the table. Can we skip this all together, do you think? I’d hate for it to later turn out to be the case given Anne Rice already did a novel using that plot. (Lestat, I’m not evil, I’m doing God’s work. You should help me with this noble plan. Psych! I’m really the devil. I had you going, didn’t I? Sucks that you’re even more damned now, though.) ---

Sam and Dean Winchester, you’re under arrest for identity theft and fraud.” 😃 ---

> [@Dijon\_Warlock](#): > > Actually, **Cassiel** is the Angel of _Saturdays_. This website agrees with you about Cas_s_iel, but adds that Cas_t_iel is an angel of Thursday. Since it’s a meta-joke based on folklore, I’m sticking with the interpretation that’s clearly just supposed to be funny.
