SPN 6.19
I'm not going to compare the writers of SPN to Umberto Eco. I'm not.
Mostly when I say that I felt like the coming together of the random bits that this season has seemed to be composed of feels kind of like a reward for the die-hard fans--the ones who didn't leave, who might've at times been disgusted but, for whatever reason, kept plugging away and managed to get to this point. The payoff.
Maybe just a little teeny tiny bit like Mr. Eco's well-known Name of the Rose, and less well-known but even-moreso Focault's Pendulum, which are brutal terrible attacks on the readers and which have payoffs that are just just about transcendent.
Okay, it's Supernatural. It's not gonna be transcendent. But it should be fun. Looking forward to it, hoping Castiel is redeemable. I like to think that on some level he still wants to cleave to Dean and the Winchester way of looking at things, even as he argues against it--that scene where he argued against saving the kids made me hope that somewhere inside he wanted to be able to follow Dean's moral compass, since he's never really had one of his own.
Also, here's a question: was Sam's soul actually in hell? *bounces eyebrows*
