EPISODE REACTION POST: 5x22 SPN FINALE
Look, guys. I'm still a little buzzed. I had four wine coolers in a matter of... not that much time, and I haven't eaten anything in over 15 hours. So I'm a little woozy. But I really don't have that much to say about the episode, so just take a look at what I think because I'd love love love to know what you guys all felt about it.
1) I've seen the episode once; it airs in Hawaii at 8pm, and I'm going to tape it but probably not watch it. I'll watch it again with my bf, when he gets home from work. And those two times will probably be the only two times.
I didn't love this episode. In fact, I can hardly say I even liked it. It's unclear whether this is an unpopular opinion or not yet, but I was disappointed. It just seemed... rushed. Confusing. Sloppy. Like they had to wrap up the apocalypse storyline, just because Kripke had said so much earlier in the season that they wouldn't leave us hanging on it.
2) I want to say that I've never cried so hard at a death than I did at Castiel's. I told you guys, I would be devastated if he was killed. And I was. I don't even really know what happened after Bobby died, and I only tuned back in right after Adam and Sam fell into the hole. I have NO FUCKING CLUE what happened there, I was frozen in shock because of the deaths of Cas and Bobby.
When Cas came back? I was relieved. But pissed off. I think it's bullshit that Cas is apparently some all-powerful angel again, that he can even bring Bobby back to life. WTF is this shit? God's just like, "Oh, well... I'm not going to get involved, but I'll totally bring Castiel back because his vessel is a hotass." WHAT THE FUCK. It made no sense to me, I wasn't pleased about it, and I'm really bitter that they killed him off and brought him back in a matter of minutes. It was a mindfuck of the worst kind, and I was NOT appreciative of it. I know this makes me sound like a fucking idiot, but after the past few episodes (5x20 not included, SORRY), I was expecting so much out of the finale. And I got let down.
3) So... Chuck is God? Survey says... Jesus, I don't even know. This is just like, a ridiculous turn of events. We all fucking know that it wasn't your plan to have Chuck be God all along, Kripke. WE ALL FUCKING KNOW. That was just so weird. God is a boozehound who loves strippers and has a really random, bizarre affinity for our bb Cas? OKAY. That being said, I FUCKING LOVE YOU, ROB BENEDICT. I HOPE THEY DON'T ABANDON ANGELS AND HEAVEN IN SEASON SIX, I WANT YOU BACK.
4) No, really. Don't abandon angels and heaven in season six. Castiel may be alive, but... Going back to heaven? And just like that? That really irked me. His relationship to Dean may be strained sometimes, but after everything they've been through, after Cas having experienced being human, after sacrficing everything for Dean... Cas wouldn't just leave like that. I don't believe it for a second. That infuriated me, and not ju5st as a Dean/Cas 'shipper, but as a Cas fan. I feel cheated, like everything they built that character up to be has been shredded. That wasn't Cas as we know him. That was Cas from the beginning of season four. FUCK THAT.
If Misha's not in season six, I think it'll be one of the biggest mistakes SPN's ever made. Aside from this episode.
5) That whole scene between Michael and Lucifer was fucking POINTLESS. They didn't even fight. They didn't do ANYTHING. "Oh, hey, bro..." "Hey, man, you know we gotta fight, right?" "Yeah, it sucks, even though I'm evil, I still love ya." "Yeah, me, too. Oh, wells." "Wait, wtf is that, oh what, Dean?!" That scene had so much potential. I was looking forward to the HUGE MICHAEL VS. LUCIFER SHOWDOWN THAT SPN'S BEEN BUILDING UP TO FOR, OH, THE WHOLE FUCKING SEASON, AND THIS IS WHAT WE GOT? WHAT THE FUCK. We got YELLOW CRAYON-ED. And I think we all knew that was gonna happen, but fuuuuuuu, I just wanted so much more!
6) I feel like this could have been an okay, if not rage-inducing, series finale. But as a season finale? I don't think it worked. Sam (Lucifer?) lurking outside of Lisa's house, with a Dean who looked about ready to off himself (which could be early foreshadowing of him wanting to leave that life) was great, though. I don't know what it means, and it's pretty much the only thing keeping me interested (aside from the return of Cas) in season six.
7) Here's what I'm envisioning: Lucifer beat Michael, maybe? He's still in Sam's body, and he's still going to try to start a party in the U.S.A. and all other countries. Lisa and Ben get killed, Dean gets all revenge-bent, but is like, OH FUCK BUT IT'S MY BROTHER. Cas comes back down to help, along with Bobby and Crowley (please? SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHERE THE FUCK WAS CROWLEY IN ALL THIS?), and they battle.
But. Knowing our show, it'll probably just be like, "FOUR YEARS LATER" and Sam and Dean are just hunting MOTWs again. Ugh. Also? If this finale means that Twitter!Cas abandons us for the summer, I am going to cry all over again.
THANK GOD for deancasbigbang because I'm not even going to lie, in my head? This episode pretty much doesn't exist. Except for "assbutt." Yep.
