A little worried (SPN - related)
Okay, so. In wandering around the 'Net this morning, I ran across something that . . . doesn't really surprise me. I found that Lisa is going to be what I think is the season finale. Well, since I've said all along that until there is a definitive break between Lisa and Dean there will always be the possibility that she can come back, I'm not surprised that she'll be back for one more episode.
But I've also been seeing spoilers here and there (before I can "move along, nothing to see here") that there are going to be two (yes, I've seen that specific number) unexpected deaths in the season finale. And I'm dreading that they will be Lisa and Ben. (Of course, the fact that I'm expecting it means that they aren't "unexpected," so maybe I'm wrong.) I know a lot of people want Dean to regress revert back to his womanizing, random hook-ups, and one-night stands. The only circumstances under which I can see that happening (regardless of what Jensen himself says. Man, would I like to sit down and talk character with him) is if Lisa is totally removed from the equation, either by death or by marriage.
I'm quite worried that Lisa and Ben will be killed off for the sake of convenience, with no greater purpose than to eliminate them from the story. I can see where the writers might think that the Dean/Lisa storyline needs definitive resolution, but I hope, I hope that they give their send-off meaning. Ellen and Jo might have died in a losing battle, but they died protecting their friends, and that's not nothing. If the writers do gank Lisa and Ben, I hope there's a better reason--a character developing, character revealing reason--than simply "we got bored with it. Let's get rid of them."
*deep breath*
Okay, just writing that out makes me feel better. But if it does happen, I warn you: Do not be surprised if I become sullen and/or cranky and/or ranty. I really kinda hate don't like that Dean can never be happy or fulfill his dreams.
Of course, if Dean and Sam cease to exist, none of this is a problem, right?
(Oh!!! And then the season opener next season would be something along the lines of It's a Wonderful Life. What would happen to the world if Sam and Dean were never born?)
