Talk:Alastair

Alastair died from immolation by Holy Light. 74.12.10.107 21:06, 6 December 2008 (UTC) Joe

Quote Change?

I was wondering if we could change the opening quote from:

"You know... I haven't been up here since Poland '43. Truth is, I loathe it. It's chilly. No stink of blood or sizzle of flesh or the wet flap of flayed skin. I don't know how you stand it." -Alastair

to:

"Forget the angels—it's Alastair I'm scared of! ... Practically the Grand Inquisitor Downstairs. Picasso—with a razor." -Ruby

Although the current quote offers insight to the creepy, psychotic inner-workings of his mind, the one I'm suggesting better defines him and what he represents from an outside perspective. It really says something when Ruby couldn't care less about Angels if Alastair's in the picture. Damaijin (talk) 23:39, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Knight-of-Hell?

Immune to the knife, could go toe-to-toe with angels...what do you guys think? FTWinchester (talk) 13:03, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

I seriously think he could have been I mean he was powerful. Even Lilith if I'm not mistaken was afraid of that knife but he pulled it out. The only thing that confuses me is the eye color.MrAnonymous (talk) 18:35, January 31, 2013 (UTC)MrAnonymous

Blame the eye color difference on the writer's lack of continuity. Abbadon should've had white eyes like Lilith and Alistair. L4D2 Ellis (talk) 18:38, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

@L4D2 Ellis Yeah I remember in Bobby Singers Hunting Guide he mentioned that from what he had heard there were four demons with white eyes and Alastair and Lilith were two of them. So I guess they forgot to make Abaddon a white eyed demon. Unless eye color doesn't actually hold the significance we think it does.MrAnonymous (talk) 18:51, January 31, 2013 (UTC)MrAnonymous

Would that be Bobby Singer the character or the writer? I'll have to admit that I'm not that into the fandom. We were led to believe that eye color held significance to a demon's rank. Seeing as two of Hell's most powerful demons had white eyes. I really think that the producers ignored continuity on that one. L4D2 Ellis (talk) 19:05, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

It's the character. I bought the book along with John Winchester's Guide to Hunting surprisingly there is a lot information in them that ties up loose ends and explains plot holes. I hope we learn more about these knights and Men of Letters to be honest.MrAnonymous (talk) 19:26, January 31, 2013 (UTC)MrAnonymous

It's entirely possible that the writers didn't forget and that it simply doesn't matter what eye color a Knight of Hell has; they're hand-picked by Lucifer and given some new powers regardless. Eye color can still hold significance, it would just be irrelevant when considering a demon's capacity to become a Knight of Hell. It's like how you can pick both boys and girls to play on your kickball team. 70.245.30.130 21:41, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Eye color became more confusing as we progressed into the story. Somebody from tumblr also kindly reminded me that Sam Winchester had black-eyes, and he snuffed two of the White-Eyed demons out. 

The book Bobby Singer's Guide, I don't trust too much to be canon. It said Samhain was a 'blue-eyed' demon. I took that as a grain of salt. Eye colors still generally provide us much insight on how powerful a demon could be, but we are getting so many exceptions now that it didn't seem as structured as we once thought. FTWinchester (talk) 22:52, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Well the thing is, Sam was not a real demon so I just chalked that up to that being a side effect. And I don't trust Bobby's book to be canon either.  L4D2 Ellis (talk) 22:57, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Alastair statement?

In "death takes a holiday" Dean tries to get back to his body but Alastair catches him and states "i'm inside that angsty little noggin of yours" and then he is captured by the angels on castiel's orders. What does Alastair mean? does he mean he's actually inside dean's head so he can track him or is he just messing with him? i suspect its the latter but its a bit of an odd thing to say. but if its literal then how does that work if deans in his astral form? any thoughts?

No, definitely not "just" messing with him, Dean. He could've been reading Dean's soul--mind--, when Dean's in astral form. Well, not actually inside Dean's head, but he can read what's inside. -- ImperiexSeed, 5:00 PM, February 13th 2013

Ah that would make more sense. i wasnt sure if it was something similar to dream walking but no reading his mind would have made more sense.
