Hmmmm

Back online and feeling very thinky about something highly insightful that Mark Sheppard said at Comic-Con, which--as it isn't a spoiler--I'll quote here:

"Crowley is what happens when people aren't paying attention."

For those of you who don't know SPN, Crowley is (we're told) a demon who was once a Scottish tailor and who somehow clawed his way up the ladder to become head of the Crossroads Demons and Lilith's right hand. He helped Sam and Dean thwart the Apocalypse for the express purpose of staging a coup and becoming King of Hell, which he promptly remodeled into a Screwtape Letters-style bureaucratic nightmare. He's been at the back of much of the nefarious goings-on of the last two seasons, and now he's clearly up to even more dirty tricks, but what they are, no one knows (yet).
Crowley is what happens when people aren't paying attention.

I see a sermon and a political stump speech both in there somewhere, at minimum....

That little quote was probably my favorite to come out of Comic Con because it said so much in so few words.

That's pretty amazing.

Didn't go to Comic-Con sadly but that quote is amazing, not just for that character but for life I'm general. I want to meta that sentence so much but I can't even think of a Bible verse to properly say what I want it too.

yes please. ;P I do so love it when people pick up on and expound on statements like this.
