CAN I TELL YOU FIRST? I DIDN'T GET HOME UNTIL 10PM FROM WORK AND THEN FOUND OUT MY DVR NEVER FUCKING TAPED THE SHOW. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK COMCAST?!
I read like 2.5 reaction posts then had to stop.
Because I've come to realize that I can't deal with them. They all get me riled up (good and bad) and while it's fun to talk about the show, I just ... I don't know. I have so many mixed feelings right now it's unbelievable.
I was going to count out the good and the bad with little comment, but I'm just kind of blah about the whole thing I don't know. There was way too much handwaving for me to be really okay with what they gave us, and there were moments last night that I LOOOOOOVED and ones that I hated to the point that I just stared at the screen in anger. Which made me realize that is exactly how I've felt this entire season. Episodes were fucking killer and others made me want to kill myself.
Either way, here are my two, three, four cents on the final scene.
**
DEAN IS NOT HAPPY. And he never will be unless he's doing wreckless things about/with/for his brother. I still can't go into Wincest but I am 100% committed to the idea that Dean is 100% committed to his brother in a non-sexual nature, and is truly codependent. His *~essence~* will wilt away to a shell of a man, quite like him sitting at that kitchen table, staring off into space. HOWEVER Dean will remain with Lisa and do his damnedest to make it work. I think he WANTS the responsibility of a family and a child, ESPECIALLY now that he doesn't have the responsibility to watch over Sam. HE SAID IT. Watching Sam is who he is. Now that he doesn't have Sam, he's going to take care of someone else.
**
Is Sam even alive? I mean, seriously. That lightbulb popped out and he's standing there. What if he's an angel or a spirit or a demon. The crux of a dozen episodes about ghosts/spirits is that they're born out of a ragey death. What's more ragey than falling into a bottomless pit with Lucifer riding your ass?

I commented to karabou on this, and it keeps making me laugh/giggle. Re: amulet
OMG If this was an angsty, trashy romcom, whenever Sam shows up at Dean's doorstep, Dean will be all O_O and Sam will be all :-\ and yet ;-) and go "I forgot to give you something" and hand it over. PFFFFFT Why'm I laughing so hard at this? I have no idea. God I hate this fucking show, it's ruined my entire life.
Well, shit, Sera's in charge and she's all about the epic bromance, so maybe it will happen.

I'm still not buying Lisa. Beyond even how Dean feels about her and Ben and the insta-family, how is it that she's so tired to him? I still didn't get, back in 99 Problems, why she was so emotional about what he was doing and saying. If it were me, I'd be super confused and insisting he come back to figure out what the hell he was talking about, but not all cry-y and emotional. And then here, too? I dunno.

Overall, I miss our boys just being boys and hunting. I'll always say that S2 is my favorite ever, and yes we had heavy shit going on but it just wasn't ALL SHIT ALL THE TIME. And I miss the boys being together and caring for and about each other. I'm so sick of all the angst and how every other episode Dean is telling Sam he trusts him, then the others he doesn't. And I hate that every other episode Sam is whiny about how no one trusts him, then the others he does crazy shit to make everyone look at him funny.
