Supernatural - Analyzing Dean's Vampiric Vision

Share on Reddit

So, in last week's installment of Supernatural, Dean is turned temporarily into a monster, and becomes a pawn of the Alpha vampire's will. During his short time spent in the nest he was investigating, he witnessed firsthand the incredible influence the alpha has over his subjects: the ability to telepathically transfer messages in psychedelic visions, as well as the ability to render anyone under his power unconscious (and I'm assuming there's a few other strings the main vamp can pull that we haven't yet witnessed). We get to witness one of these visions as everything gets super blurry and Dean falls to the floor, gone. His eyes whirring behind their lids, as well as every other vampire in the warehouse (and possibly every other vamp in existence).

The vision is a quick one, so while watching, aside from getting the creeps from it, as a viewer one doesn't really get a good look at what's actually happening. So, after watching it repeatedly, I was naturally inclined to come up with my own assertions/questions/ideas about what is taking place in this vision, and why were even shown this vision.

Question #1: What was the point of the Vision?
I believe first and foremost, the point of the vision was to be awesome, scary, and show some aspect of the alpha vampire without actually having to show the alpha this episode. I also think it basically shows the spread of vampirism (is that a word? Oh well, I'm using it..) from the alpha--I believe from what I've seen and put together that the alpha is that rather creepy, well-dressed man caressing the children's faces: This leads us to #2.

Question #2: WTF is with the man and his scary little counterparts?
From what I can tell, the girls are twin sisters that are from a family of prestige (read: money), and the man that is caressing one of the girl's faces is their servant/slave?/butler, who just happens to have (mutated? become? always was?) a vampire, who corrupts them with his blood, and then as they become his subjects, he tells them to go out, kill, spread the disease: (cue the blood cells, the red lines expanding through a map seemingly of Illonois, many graves, and eerily, the sight of school desks and the man looking into the horizon...) "GO FORTH MY CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT!!!"

Question #3: OMG will we get to see this vision again or some sort of expansion on it? Will we meet this man and the two sisters? Will we see the full story? Does anyone else feel like this is a huge step in the right direction of going back to the roots of evil in the world? If they can make all the alphas of the monster community this scary, and this awesome, I will be extremely happy about it, and will brand this season MUCH better than season 5.


---------------This is the line where the questions get really spacey---------------

Question #4: Is there someone above the alphas pulling the strings? What if these alphas are just pawns themselves in some gigantic conspiracy by some unknown power that we've yet to see? (I could see this being a really good idea, but also an awful idea...)

Question #5: What was the first "monster" ever? The alpha of all alphas? Is there even one? Is this even a good question?


Ok everyone, discuss!
