So I think their purposes never meet because the YED wouldn't want to raise something who is stronger than him would he?
Hm, that's an excellent point! YED was one ambitious dude and his generations of psychic kids and the opening of the devil's gate don't really fit with Lilith's 66 seals plot. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but I would really want them to pull those two plots together somehow to create a continuity between YED and Lilith. :)
I thought that they probably had to die because they were family's friends and maybe hunters, you know
I was thinking about that as well, but then all of her friends died and given that Mary presumably left the hunter's life behind when she married John, I'd say most of her friends post-1973 would be non-hunters, who would pose no real threat. So I'll eagerly await the resolution to that plotpoint. LOL
This means that things that HAPPENED ALREADY can't be altered, so Mary has to die, etc...but things that have not happened YET can still be changed.
Well, that doesn't really sit well with me because if time is fluid then all of time is. When Dean travels back to 1973 his own past becomes his future and hence should be changeable again, even within your theory. Also what bugs me is that usually destiny is a term that refers to the entirety of a person's story, past and future alike. It's about the life being directed towards a certain, inevitable goal. I dunno, to only restrict the inevitability of destiny to the past, irritates me. LOL Time Travel really is a mind-bender. Overall though I think that the show will stick with the premise of free will and choice.
