'To Keep Each Other Human': The Restoration of Balance in SPN 5.18 [META PICSPAM]

[zimshan]

So, I swore to myself I was done with color meta after that behemoth of a post last Thursday. And then the show had to go and air an episode that cashed in on so much of the season's color interactions...and I just could not resist. :)

I think my poor brain is kinda dead right now. Two major meta picspams in two weeks is really not a recommended course of action. *holds head*

Lovely! I think you guys are onto something with red white
and blue = team free will.

Hee! It would put to rest the whole mysterious patriotic/flag theme this year, that's for sure!

Thrilled you enjoyed this!

Btw, I just wanted to check: you haven't sent an email about the vid yet, right? Wanna make sure I haven't missed anything, as screwy as my inbox can be. I've been experimenting how to manage a mp3 edit before the bridge, which is still a work in progress, but I'm aiming for a final cut by May 1st. :) [ETA: Scratch that, sorry, just saw your email. 'Tis totally fine. Really. (As you can see, other things have been occupying my brain abit too! XD)

I've been waiting for this post, and it didn't disappoint. I'm still hoping, like you, that the boys will get to save the world together, with their love for each other and their trust in each other.

[zimshan]

Aw, happy to know it didn't disappoint then! :)

On one hand, how could it really be any other way, right? Or so I keep telling myself. musesfool wrote this finale spec fic, The Bloodied Fist of Hope, a title which I keep thinking captures fandom pretty aptly at this point. I fully expect they're gonna kill us epically again before the finale, but Kripke's gotta know how much we all desperately need a victory for the brothers in the end.

I'm amazed and my head hearts. How you do it... The analysis is fabulous and I just soak it up. I have to stop staring at Ackle's lips and pay more attention!

Thank you so much.

[zimshan]

Hey, they're a pretty set of lips, it's hard to look away. :D

No, really, my head hurts, I'm sure following it all hurts just as much, and I need a hiatus just to shut off my brain for a bit now. But this episode, man, it totally deserved it. So happy you could enjoy what's here!

Love, love, love this. Love beyond the power of loving. I love how I got to enjoy such a deeper meaning to the show from your first post and notice the colors while I was actually watching it and I love the Team Free Will conclusion.

It's great to be at a point where I love all three of them.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. It was a great read. And you are freaking brilliant.

I'm still just kinda boggled that this random observation of TIE colors spawned all of this. I never would have figured when I posted that first color meta that the show would actually intersect it with a narrative arc's turning point. It just seems maddening. And yet, the caps do exist.

But I am always glad to spread the color fever. ;)

And it will be interesting to see how they take this, leading up to the finale. I'm curious as to whether someone else will adopt green now that Zachariah is dead. And whether we'll get more Team Free Will=red,white,blue clues!
