SPN 5.22: Swan Song

May 14, 2010 09:13

This morning I rewatched the finale without a roommate hovering over my shoulder, wondering when this crap was going to be over so we could watch one of his Manly Mechanic Man Shows. (You know, the kind where they customize cars or poke sticks at snakes or maybe build bridges across hundred-foot chasms with nothing but duct tape ( Read more... )

supernatural, episode reaction

So maybe that's why I wasn't quite brought to tears last night? I was actually kind of nervous to start reading posts with anything negative in them yet. But now I'm glad I did. I'm glad b/c you know how to bring up some stuff, and then move on. Plus, you made some good points. Points that, like you said, I didn't notice because I watched the episode all by myself. Not with an outside POV next to me. I've been wondering for a long time what the point of Jesse was. I mean, I liked the episode ok. But it really does seem like the writers were just giving themselves a possible easy-out should they need it. I have no idea. I'm starting to wonder now if instead of going to Australia, Jesse actually believed/wished he didn't exist, and it happened ( ... )

Oh, wow. I hadn't even thought of that, but the possibility is both incredibly creepy and really sad. Ooooh, I wish that were canon, because day-amn.

Actually, I think I'm maybe glad they left the amulet for next season, because having that scene might've upped the yellow crayon factor.

I actually (heresy of heresies) don't want to see the amulet again. I want it to be lost forever. Because some shit you don't get back.

I just had this image of Ellen, Jo, and Bill Harvelle.

Yessss!

Because most of the hunters in canon don't actually do it the way the Winchesters do it. Most of them have a home base, day jobs, families... Of course, most of them are not so deep into the life, pawns of destiny and all that. But now, Winchesters aren't either! \o/

It's amazing what people are willing to excuse, when it's in the name of a cause. And by that I mean both the characters and us as an audience.Yes. This ( ... )

I wish that it could've been canon too! It would've been so creepy and sad, but it would also have resolved any questions of why we had only the one episode about him, and then we never heard from him again.

Hhhmmm, yeah maybe the time of the amulet is over? I don't know.

But, hey. New season, new showrunnner, new stories!

Yes! I'm really curious to see what Sera and the other writers have come up with. I hope it's not too off the wall, yet I'm ready for something new.

My favorite Sera Gamble episode by far was "Jus in Bello," which she claimed was the one farthest from her comfort zone. A lot of her others, the ones with sex or feelings or whatever, have left me cold or even made me cringe a little bit.

And yet every interview I've ever seen with her, I've absolutely adored her and her pretty hyacinth curls and her smile, and I've wanted to go get coffee and maybe go shopping with her. So, um, little bit of a girl-crush there. I'm really excited about her as showrunner.

I have to go back and look at which episodes she wrote. That's one aspect of the show I don't pay as much attention to. Idk why, maybe because I tend to figure that the writing process is so collaborative?
Sera has given me a similar impression. I'm really curious to see how she'll steer the boat.
