SPN finale

[schmevil]

No doubt some of you will disown me, but I'm generally satisfied and would have been happy with it as the series finale (with some adjustments obviously). It was... pretty much what I expected. With a couple of surprises good and bad, along the way. It would have been more satisfying if the season as a whole had been stronger, but yeah.

I MOSTLY agree with you. I will be annoyed if they really stick to the Dean/Lisa thing because I think it came out of nowhere and was poorly characterized. I also think that trying to play happy family totally removes any of the S1 vibe they claim to be returning to.

Jared was excellent. Boy needs a haircut, though. Keep the length, just do some shaping. (Probably Sam had other things on his mind rather than staying pretty, though.)

They've opened the Dean/Lisa door, so now they've got to deal with it. I'll be terribly disappointed if they manage to work something out. Dean is NOT ready for a functional relationship. He wants to die right now. He's not in any place to step up as a partner and parent. If it's dysfunction free, I'll be pissed.

Not sure we know what they mean by S1 vibe though - are they referring to the structure, the emotional arc? It'll be interesting to see, one way or another.

Also, yes. Jared was awesome. :)

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that S1 vibe just meant...saving people, hunting things.

Yeah, Dean in a relationship? Right. Especially now that he thinks Sam is dead? Dean would be the worst SO ever.

I kind of feel bad for Lisa, no lie. She has no idea what she's gotten herself into.

I *hope* that's what they meant, but that ending... huh.

[13chapters]

Lisa...idk. I need more info on Lisa before I can feel one way or another toward her.

This is why I don't like her storyline at the moment. We don't know enough about her!

Eventually Dean will realize that he doesn't even know how to live a storybook ending, that he's using Lisa, and it will all fall apart. I think.

There's no way they can be realistically happy - not for a whiiiile, at least. Dean has thirty years of earth trauma to work out + thirty years of hell. If Gamble starts the season with them as a functional family? I will be pissed. Until then I'll be giving the show the benefit of the doubt.

Also, ha! The meme is hating the hell out of this ep.

[13chapters]

Ugh, I knew they would, so I closed that tab. I don't feel like dealing with them right now.

I'm afraid of saying this "out loud", but sometimes I think we're taking this too seriously. You gaiz, it's a TV show. You know I love it and all, but...blah. Calm down.

[schmevil]

Dude, no. We do take things to seriously sometimes. I'm not saying that to shame fans. I don't think fan passion is a bad, or unhealthy. But when it's tying you up in knots... it's like alcohol: know your limits, and take a break from the fan rage when you've reached that limit. ;)

PS. Agreed on the haircut. Needs an outtake where Sam tries to go to the salon right before the Apocalypse, but the trip keeps getting derailed by zombies, a wendigo in like, minneapolis, etc etc.

Finally he's like, GOD I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO DIE WITH BAD HAIR D:

[13chapters]

write it!!!

[schmevil]

Sam likes this idea. He looks so cheered up from the apocalypse!

IKR? I love this icon, isn't it adorable? It's my "this is a good idea!" icon.

*smishes that Sam*

I think it's 'too soon' for that kind of crackfic though. Maybe in a week or so.
