Quick Reaction: 15x20 Carry On

[hells_half_acre]

My final quick reaction. I've drank a lot of wine, just to make it special (also, I just wanted another glass of wine).

So, I'll do my disclaimer, just to be extra sentimental: I've written this up after drinking a lot of wine and taking very crappy notes. Nothing is meant to be 100% accurate, but I do my best. Don't correct me unless I specifically

Thank you for giving such a graceful take on the episode.
I was sobbing during Dean's whole speech, and rejoiced when Cas was mentioned.
I'm still settling into the idea that Dean never got to have kids or a life outside of hunting, but I feel like heaven has been changed in such a way to free them both of hunting forever. Honestly tearing up thinking of them at complete peace forever rn.
I'm really interested in seeing the pre-covid script and all the other characters we might have gotten a glimpse of on earth or in heaven!
All I have left to do is wait for the fandom to write the next chapter. It's a good feeling.

Yes, I think there will be a ton of good fanfic to come out of this.

So far, from what I've seen, Dean was supposed to be greeted by more past-characters in Heaven then just Bobby, and perhaps Cas was supposed to actually appear as well. It'll be interesting if they ever release the original pre-Covid script for it.

I freaking loved it, that the winchester name still goes on, but that Sam and Dean, are at peace, finally ❤️

[hells_half_acre]

Yes, they left a good legacy, but they were able to rest and be proud of themselves.

It's a good ending. After I knew I wasn't going to get MY ending, I at least wanted an ending that would make for great fanfiction, and I think this one does.

Hey, I've been quietly reading your reactions and rewatches for a while, and I wanted to ask, what exactly was the ending you had in mind?

[hells_half_acre]

Hi! Thanks for quietly reading my reactions and rewatches! (I will get back to rewatches soon - I have now purchased a new DVD player)

The ending I would have written is one where Sam and Dean become 'Urban Legends' themselves, but not the bad kind. Instead they become this story of these two heroes that will show up when you find yourself in over your head and in a desperate situation, and they'll help you and then disappear into the night... the sound of a gas-engine fading into the distance, even though it's been decades since all vehicles became electric and no one even sells gas anymore.

Again, they aren't restless spirits though, they're like a new type of angel or god... a supernatural being that isn't a dick. Their heaven is helping people on earth for all eternity with their brother at their side.

Dammit, reading your review is making me ugly cry all over again

[hells_half_acre]

I think it was just the covid-restrictions that caused them not to show Eileen, though I know Sam has since said that we're free to imagine Sam's partner/life however we want, and that it didn't necessarily have to be Eileen or that Sam could have married a man, or not married at all, or whatever. So, I respect that interpretation too - but they did put a dark-haired woman in the back of that one shot, so I'm going with Eileen, personally

First of all, thank you! Thank you for your reviews! The last three or four seasons your posts added a lot to pleasure of watching the series, and I'm very grateful for that.

This episode... It feels like a fanfic.)) Sometimes, even like "my first fanfic". It's easy to unsee it if you don't like this ending and I wonder if it's done on purpose or by accident. In general it's nice. And of course I cried!))

The thing I don't like though is the Impala doubling. I object! ))) Impala is as unique as the brothers, how could her soul be at the same time with Sam at Earth and with Dean in Heaven? Nah, they should have killed her soon after Dean.))

[hells_half_acre]

Thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed my reviews and that I was able to add to your enjoyment of the show!!

I had the same thought about the Impala doubling! Maybe the reason that Sam was crying in the Impala on earth is because he could feel that her soul was already half in heaven.
