Alas, poor Novaks; I knew them, Balthazar

I'm finally getting started on my Novakfest and I have issues. :(

Like, what religion is Jimmy?  Clearly the Novaks are Protestant of some sort, but I've no idea what denomination.  I say Protestant instead of Christian because they're definitely not Catholic.  And then I think not Lutheran, either, but I'm not sure.  Lutheran could work, or any number of other Protestant faiths, which unfortunately I'm not familiar with at all.

And then also, how old is Claire when Jimmy says yes to Castiel?  My instinctual response is 12/13, but I can't tell!  It could be a bit younger, I suppose, and then I figure she could be as old as 14 or 15, as well.  I can't find anything about the actress's age, which would give me a better guess, so.  I'm stuck.

Oooooh, those are very very good points. I love your theory about angels knowing pop culture to the extent their vessels do. They could rectify it, of course, by watching tv/reading/listening to news, but angels as a whole I doubt would be a fan of sitting around researching human contemporary life; demons might be more inclined to watch some late night tv.

My one thing to add would be that Jimmy sells ad time for the radio...so I'd be surprised to find him *that* far removed from pop culture.

But, I'm thinking definitely evangelical of some sort; just maybe not to quite that extent.

We don't know what plays on the radio station(s) Jimmy sells ad time for, though.

This is very true. It could easily be The Evangelizing Hour with Pastor Bob, or something :DD

From discussion over on the LJ side of my journal, I'm leaning towards them being Baptist, right now - it can be pretty evangelical or quite not, and a lot of what I'm reading about it seems to fit the Novaks.
