Picspam Reaction: Supernatural 5.21

Probably contains profanity, I don't remember. Contains loads of spec. Also a passing reference to Doctor Who episode 2.1 (TenDoc) just in case that's still a spoiler for anyone.

Actually, the only Firefly 'verse I've really seen is Serenity. Some Browncoat friends dragged everyone they knew to see it during the opening week. I've got the series on DVD but haven't watched it yet.

It has never really occurred to me that any of the popular supporting characters would die, because unlike Winchesters, the chances of their coming back are very slim.

It's been occurring to me since season 2, particularly with Bobby, since his character is of a certain generalized archetype that usually dies in fictional settings. Castiel's survival is looking more and more nerve-wracking as the clues mount up that he's got something to be done yet, and I'm pretty sure I know what that is. Although I could be wildly wrong. There are a lot of elements in play and only one episode left to resolve everything. ETA: And they're both the last surviving members of what little support network the Winchesters had.

I kind of wish they'd spread last episode and the upcoming one into two linked two-parters. There's a lot of ground to cover that could be covered in much more detail.
