QUESTIONS / SUGGESTIONS

This page is a repository for quizzical and strange things that bug us sometimes on Supernatural. OF COURSE, we all still ADORE the show, but here's a venting forum for anything that just gets under your skin! Have at it, my fellow fans. (Don't forget to put your name next to what you add...)

FYI, these are meant to be rhetorical questions -- like "How come the word abbreviation is so long?" and do not require an answer or an explanation.

But feel free to comment and add the Hmm ideas of others!

1) How come every grave that the Winchester boys dig up,
no matter how quickly, is a perfect rectangle with smooth walls? (SuperZu)

[respond]

2) How come the demon girls always have perfect make-up? esp. season 4 Ruby. I find it hard to believe a demon sits in front of a mirror every morning and reapplies eye-liner and mascara!?(Tabby)

[respond]

2) We never see Dean enter a barbershop, but his hair just keeps getting shorter and shorter and shorter...
I'm half expecting him to enlist in the Marines any day now. lol!
(of course, he'd still be gorgeous with his head completely shaved *g*) (SuperZu) 3) On the other hand, Puppy always needs a haircut! (SuperZu)

Jared actually was not allowed to cut his hair- both Sam and Dean's haircuts are intentionally done to accentuate the difference between them and make Dean look older.

4) The boys get beaten up, sliced, shot, gouged, and otherwise mangled constantly...yet they have no visible repercussions (although, thank goodness for THAT! Right?). (SuperZu)

Because it would be too much effort with make up probably- but keep in mind, that in "Monster Movie" Dean mentioned having scars and things before he got 'rehimenated' so I'm sure its something we are just supposed to imagine- it is not like any particular scar has plot importance.(ApplesTheCow)

Most of the time, a lot of their scars would be hidden by their clothing. Most of the damage to their face and hands isn't bad enough to leave permanent marks. Plus, there is rarely any indication of howmuch time passes between episodes, so any scrapes would have time to heal. In reality, it's like ApplesTheCow said: it would take to much effort to recreate every scar. (AHCampbell)

Some reasons they have no scars. When Dean was raised from Hell, any bodily damage was healed(even his virginity(4x05)), also cas has healed them multiple times(5x22,6x07,etc.) (Bullet73145)

5) I think Dean might like some current music. Maybe some Nickleback or Greenday... How come he never catches any on the radio? (SuperZu) Also, considering that Dean is a huge Led Zeppelin fan, why doesn't he have any in the car? (TheLostWinchester)

He gave it to Lucas in "Dead in the Water" - lol!

Or maybe because it's too much money to license? Lol!!

6.) I wonder how do the boys take-off the blood stains in their shirt and the mud in their pants? I have not seen them go to a laundromat to do some laundry.(deanna0918)

this thought was answered in S04018

7.) How do Dean keep the Impala shiny? I have not seen him go to a car wash nor seen him clean the car and the car is still clean and shiny as ever. Especially on the episode, It's a great pumpkin, Sam Winchester, we've seen the Impala gets egged and on the next scene, it was shiny as if nothing happened. (deanna0918)

For that particular episode- good point. (By the way in "Providence", the car looked dirty in the close up as it was compared to all the fancy cars- so it isn't always clean.)

Dean loves the Impala, so he probably cleans it alot. Plus, it would be pointless to just have a scene with Dean washing the car. (AHCampbell)

In Dead mans blood(1x20), John says to Dean that he wouldnt have given him the car if he knew he was gonna let it get so dirty, and that he should touch it up. Being one to always obey his father, that probably became a habit for him. (Bullet73145)

8.) If Demons are afraid of salt, how come Ruby eat fries? (deanna0918)

This is sort of explained in John Winchester's journal By Alex Irvine. On page 48 John writes '... MUST BE ROCK SALT- IODIZED SALT IMPURE, WILL NOT WORK.' Iodized salt is pretty much table salt, and thus what is used to salt french fries, which would make it okay for Ruby to eat. (Simply_Savvi)

If that's the case why are they always running to the kitchen to check for salt everywhere they go?? Iodized/table salt are what most people have in their kitchens...Guess we're just supposed to overlook that... (Medic04) They must have forgotten because in 'The Devil you know', Dean was going for a salt container clearly marked TABLE SALT to ward off the Hellhound! (Superhotties)

9.) The boys get most of their money from credit card fraud, right? Where does the credit card company send the cards? The boys don't really have a house... (DeansGirl666)

The cards might get sent to the hotels they stay atMaybe a dead-drop mail box service somewhere? Or a regular post office box rented, used once and abandoned? (CarolC)

10) OK, I know you've all thought it but I will put it on here anyway... Our boys are ripped especially Sam, yet we never have witnessed any form of workout. Not even a dumbbell lying around... which is too bad. (DeanIsTheMan)

Ep 6:3, Sam is shown doing a bodyweight and pullup workout the morning after a night with a call-girl. You can get very strong and ripped (but not hulky) with bodyweight routines, and pullups are the bomb for upper body development. Some bars are portable and fit any normal doorway. So, that works for the guys' lifestyle. (CaroleC)

11.) One thing puzzles me - in the episode 'Heart' (Season 2) we see Madison wearing Sam's blue and white, vertical-striped shirt. Unless she took it off, Sam most likely shot her when she was wearing it. How come Sam is wearing EXACTLY the same shirt in 'Red Sky At Morning' (Season 3)? (fierce_huntress)

Maybe he bought another one :D (Castiella)

12.) Rewatching some episodes lately so I'm catching some stuff =) On the season finale of season one, Devil's Trap how did they draw the Key of Solomon on the ceiling? Do they make stencils that big? (DeansGirl666)

A scaffold and a lot of Sharpies? CarolC

13.) Season premiere of season four: Castiel was shot repeatedly with a shotgun and stabbed with a knife by Dean and Bobby and there was no blood, right? Yet, when Cas gets into a fight with the Angels or Demons, there is always blood... do Demons and Angels have special blood drawing powers? LOL (DeansGirl666)

This is a reoccurring inconsistency - In Sin City Ruby gets shot but no blood is drawn because she is a demon, and then later two different demons get shot by the same gun and bleed a lot - its not "special blood drawing powers"... it is just a big and continuous inconsistency.

Or maybe it has to do with the difference between mortal and angel weapons.(TheLostWinchester)

Maybe they can heal themselves, really fast, but sometimes they don't have the time or energy.(AHCampbell)

Being that a gun is a tool of Humans, it shouldnt do any damage to the being, but will do damage to the vessel. But if a demon engages in a fight with an angel, its extra strength would actually do harm to the being. (Bullet73145)
