Thoughts and emotions after watching 5.22

[amber3444]

I have different feelings about 5.22 - it was breathtaking, affecting, dramatic, and in  so many aspects interesting, but my attitude towards it varies whether I consider it as only a season finale or the possible ending  of Sam and Dean’s story - the entire show as  Kripke has mentioned.

First of all I want to warn that this pretty much long post

I actually wonder if Kripke was lying when he said that this is how he would have ended it. A perfect ending to me would have been an epic battle between the two BROTHERS (pffft to Adam). Even if both boys jumped into the pit (Sam still could have gotten back control by looking at the Impala), they could still find a way to continue things the next season.

Lisa was brought back to the story so suddenly for it to really have been planned out from day one, or whatever. Even Adam had a sudden return.

Adam was the only major let down, for me. Sure there was some minor stuff, but that was the biggie!

But CAS LIVED! I can forgive Kripke almost anything because of that lol

I wish that Kripke didn't mean it to be the end, but with all his "Thelma and Louisa"€previous referrings I suppose he really might plan something like this, and here arises two problems - as a creator he might really want his characters to drive in the sunset (as he definitely enjoyed this type of episode finales), but as a writer and producer he might not want his story to be dragged as long as other people could want (if he made the open finale), that choice is always tough for writers. Just may be he was afraid that CW would have gone mad and decide to turn his "child"€™ to another "Smallville"€ with other writers

I liked Adam as character but not as vessel that much. Michael should be a powerful actor/character and frankly i wouldn't mind if Dean would be.

I disliked the whole idea of the third brother greatly, but frankly speaking in 5.18 Adam seemed somehow in his place and the part of lost, puzzled brother worked well for Jake which with Michael was not.

And I sincerely didn't want any Michael!Dean VS Lucifer!Sam thing, but after watching 5.22 I wished it still began like that with Dean and Sam returning the control with the help of Impala.
