Yes. This sums up my take away as far as feeling out the overall sweep of the narrative--OK, its last word has been to tie its heroes up in a familial love knot, kill heaven and hell (their reps, anyway), and tear itself a new A...U. Could be a cosmic clusterfuck. Could be a narrative clusterfuck. Or both. In a way it's bold, like taking a grenade launcher to your own text. Breathe air into it like those Bunker fans kicking to life. Sort of.
I am weak to postapocalyptic AUs. Weak. Even if it's a narrative/worldbuilding clusterfuck I am guaranteed to get something out of it. And I really want to know why the AU demons sprouted horns. Mutation? Adaptation? Cosmetic
( ... )
One other interesting thing is the mirroring with Sam and his hunter posse storming the BMoL in their compound and the vampires doing the same in "The Raid.'' Same motive--survival of the species. I feel like there's something in that that could be capitalized on more, tapping into that rich vein (heh) of how vampires have served as multifaceted mirrors throughout the series.
that story that connects a diverse people to a land (but leaves out the diversity) Yeah, exactly

I'm so with you when it comes to postapocalyptic AUs, even though seeing it on screen felt a little like watching a fanfiction come to life, kinda too surreal to make me buy it, but Im still really excited for it!
Also, your point about the British vs the American hunters clarified a few things for me. As a not-american, I something felt that the story was less morality against following orders, free will against fascism, but more the American way as the only right one and your historical references helped me to put some of these impressions into place:) On the other hand, maybe you are right and that's simply too much interpretation, I mean, they wanted to explore the other branches of the Men of Letters and for the sake of a story there had to be conflict, meaning they had to be evil or at the very least different from the hunters wenn already know. In any case, thanks for the witch twins, season 12;)
So I'll take away Dean's tears and Sam's fire, maybe the passel of hunters (including the ones who set them to knocking on heaven's door in the first place, and Jody); I'll guess I'll take that blaze-of-glory metaphor/not-metaphor, if it means they might write their own endings.
Winchester love, said the joker to the thief: I'll take that.
I too love post apocalyptic landscapes, and I'm squeeing over all the possibilities that lie there, like all the characters that we could see again and how this dimension has warped them and why!!
