"Would your mother and father still be alive if Sam hadn't been born?" (or however it was worded) "Yes."
First of all, no, because we learned last season that Mary made a deal with the yellow-eyed devil before Sammy was even close to being consummated.
Secondly, I interpreted that as Gabriel-as-Trickster's bias against the Winchesters and Sammy in particular as he is an angel.
As for the chosen-ness of the boys, I see what you mean. I accepted it without pause on Buffy, but when it was first introduced here it felt...to fitting to be...fitting, if that makes sense. In much the same way that I felt Gordon's becoming a vampire was too on-the-head if you will to actually be ironic or interesting or something.
Part of me wonders if this has to do with the writers trying to make up for the fact that Sam and Dean are but two hunters in a world of hunters and Sammy is but one of many YED children ('member how pissy fans were back in season two?).
Yes, but what did you think of Dean fisting car!Sam?
