Here, let me babble at you like I know what the hell I'm talking about. Really, I'm just going to bounce a few things off you and you let me know what sticks (What do you agree with and disagree with?). Also, this is all based on what very little I remember from Sunday School.
Yeah - there are several theories on this - but let me give you the quick run through. Eric Kripke is the creator of this world. He is the writer of this world. Much like God is the creator/writer of our world.
And Chuck is clearly the character representation of Kripke. Chuck is Kripke - Kripke is Chuck - Kripke is the God of Supernatural - Chuck is...yes, God.
His disappearing at the end signifies that he is something more than just a prophet. Prophets are just men, after all...men who were touched by some heavenly hand and given these visions, but they are still just men. They don't just disappear after they have finished writing their bible.
Some people think that The Impala was God, and though that would have been very cool, I don't think it's true. There were some good arguments on that, but I'm still not buying The Impala as God (I feel like The Impala is like The Velveteen Rabbit, he was so loved he became real - or something like that. It makes more sense in my head, lol.)
Let's go back to Chuck...So, Chuck is something. Then the debate becomes is he God or Jesus? Rob Benedict, who played Chuck, gave pretty much the same theory that I just gave you, the same theory that most everyone online who believes Chuck is God was using, about Kripke = writer = Chuck = God. But then I thought what if Chuck was something else and so I went reading. And I found a very compelling argument that Chuck was Jesus.
In the last episode, when Dean calls Chuck, he answers the phone and says, "Mistress Magda?" He is waiting on a phone call from a prostitute named Mistress Magda. Jesus was in love with a whore named Mary Magdalene (<--and I doubt I spelled that right). Rob Benedict gave his speech about Kripke/Chuck/God and then said that he also heard a theory that Chuck was Jesus and it made him stop and think, and he didn't even pick up on the Mistress Magda thing, but now that he thinks about it, that also makes sense.
Sera Gamble has been asked about Chuck being God and she said that she thought it was obvious who Chuck was, but because of the speculation going on around the internet - which she highly enjoys reading - she doesn't want to say, because she thinks every theory she has read has been awesome.
Then on the special features of the dvds, Kripke kind of let it slip. He said something about revealing big things at the end of the season, like blahblahblah "Who God is," blahblahblah etc. He didn't say, "we will reveal who Chuck is", or "we will reveal the truth about Chuck" - he said "who God is," - although I suppose he could have meant that they revealed that God is The Impala - I really don't think that is what he meant.
If you had asked me to put money on this, even before Kripke said something that seems incriminating to me (though maybe I misintrepreted that statement, I was thinking about Misha while he was talking, cuz I do that sometimes, lol) - I would have put money on Chuck being God, but I would have been happy to lose the bet if it was revealed that Chuck is Jesus (I mean, that whole God has done everything he can, he can't help you anymore bullshit, it would be like God can't help you anymore, I'm not permitted to tell you that he sent his son, Jesus, to totally take care of that for you though - right?)
The Impala is just Home - and isn't that enough?
What do you think? I've been thinking about it all summer, and having this discussion probably more than is neccesary, which is why I have all this ridiculous information - but I am never tired of discussing it. So, Chuck, The Impala, God, Jesus, Prophet, Angel, Home - what do you think?
no subject

I'll stop babbling at you now. :)
