Marion Lichty: Random #3


Supernatural is a series about two brothers, who are trying to save the world from demons and monsters.  One particular episode called Changing Channels from season 5 is about the brothers being trapped in TV Land by the angel Gabriel.  Gabriel traps them there and makes them play certain roles in whatever show they were stuck in, in order to survive the game.  Once the brothers realize it is Gabriel they devise a plan to catch him using holy oil.
The most obvious religious aspect is the angels Casteil and Gabriel, even though they are is in human form.  During this episode the brothers must learn the lesson or moral to the TV Land game.  This is similar to the parables in the bible.  Both teach a lesson through an event or story.   Even though the brothers are still not going to do as Gabriel says, they still understand the seriousness of the upcoming events. This particular episode is a fantastic, funny episode that definitely shows the concept of the moral of the story.
