Supernatural Seaon 5 Finale
Warning: Spoilers Ahead. Read at your own risk!
I need to rant a bit about this lovely little episode, and I am getting no sympathy/support from the family as we function on different levels: I am a reader/writer, I connect with the characters from my favorite books, fanfics, tv shows, movies... The family: not so much, I believe the response i got was "its just a show"... hence this little rantish like post so I can express myself.
.....
Last Warning! Dont come cryin to me if you read my spoilers!
.....
Am I the only one who loved the sleeping Cas? That was freakin adorable. My jaw dropped and I gasped when Cas died, along with Bobby. But I have a soft spot for the both of them. I was so glad when Cas was brought back as an angel by God and saved Bobby.
I loved when Dean came blazing onto the scene with music blaring! I giggled. Michael and Lucifer must have been so confused. lol. It was definately a Dean thing to do, especially going to make sure that Sam didnt die alone. The Dean/Sam brotherly love throughout all the seasons showed. And the fact that he wouldnt leave, even while being beaten to death...it definately reminded you that Dean had gone to hell for his brother, that he would do anything for him.
And the backstory told by Chuck was great. The flashbacks pulled you in and made you connect to them (pshht, like you hadnt already from episode 1). I loved how that was all brough together and it allowed Sam to take control. I cried when Dean had to watch Sam go into the pit.
What I didnt expect was for him to pull in Michael too. That was something I didnt see coming. It was a great twist. And then Cas came back and healed Bobby...and I waited for Sam...and waited...and waited..and then realised it wasnt happening..and I cried again ('cause while I love the brothers equally now, I started out as a Sam girl).
And Chuck....was God..? Thats kinda what I got out of that. I loved his line that 'things dont really end'. It gave me hope...as did the very last scene...but I will get to that in a minute.
---What bugs me though is Dean and Lisa! I know Dean made Sam that promise...but I cant see Dean as an apple pie life sort of person. That just isnt who he is! He cant sit home and watch the game while there are other supernatural things out there killing people. I know he earned the break and shouldnt have to fight anymore...but that just isnt his character. And I have a feeling that if they werent doing a sixth season, they would have left it that way. It just doesnt compute in my head.
Thank god for that last scene with Sam showing up...I was also thinking that if a sixth season hadnt come about, they would have left it at Sam being dead. ....though the way the streetlight went out when he came makes me leery. Is it Sam...is he a demon..? They said drinking that much demon blood would have an effect. ..is he evil? Is that what draws Dean back in, saving Sam again/making him "good" again. Or does he not go see Dean at all...? Try to let him have the normal apple pie life? That would suck. I would much rather Sam be evil than that.
--- My Ideal Ending:
Have Sam be normal and go fit in with Dean. Be Uncle Sammy to Ben and call Sarah Blake or something. And let him and Dean still take hunts but have a home as well. Make that the season 6..sorta like the hunts from season 1 (the good ole days with windigos and ghosts, lol). Wind it down, give them the happy life (not happily ever after, cause thats for disney..but a good life. They disserve it.). And end it nice. As much as I love them, no season seven. (look how bad some shows get when dragged on, I dont want that for Supernatural.)
We wont get that, cause even I can admit that doesnt give any big season plot.
..Anyway so ends my rantish like post. I just needed to get it out..and I imagine i'll put up another one come tomorrow nights season finale of Smallville...
Hats off to you Eric Kripke. It was a brilliant show. Looking at it objectively, the twists and deaths were brilliant and completely in tune with the show (even though my inner fangirl was quite angry).
So heres to a great season six. I look forward to it..fall cant come soon enough! I supose the fanfiction will get me through.
To anyone who comes upon this and read it: Your opinions? Guesses for season six? I'd love to have a discussion. None of my friends really watch Supernatural so i'd love anyones thoughts.
--And appologies, this probably wasnt the most coherent of posts, but I had to get it all out.
