Yup. Dean had Cas erase their memories of Dean.

And yes, I loved the finale to bits.

The way he said 'I have plans for that demon' did not sound good. Downright sinister actually.

And yes, poor Sam. I have a feeling he's going to have those flashbacks a lot.

I tend to love everyone on a show (what that says about my mental health I don't wanna know), so regardless of who leaves or stays I'll always stick with the shows I love.

Ah, yes. I think this is a good way to be. I think I'm usually indifferent to almost everyone in TV shows. Supernatural, although it's been a disappointment to me for years now, is that show where I just cling to what I remember and wish for it to come back, and I don't know. I just want Sam and Dean again, without anymore integrated outsiders pulling away their focus. And I'm pleased that that might finally happen after all this time.

I mean, I can dislike a character on the shows I watch. But it never makes much sense to me to hate a character. I tend to roll my eyes when I go on a comm and see people bashing a character. I mean, for all we might love or hate them, they're just characters. They're not real people, so why get so worked up that your nearly foaming at the mouth?

I mean, it's one thing to have a good, solid reason to dislike/hate a character. It's another thing to be practically blind with rage at a character.

I mean, there's enough hate in real life. Why add it to fandom? Fandom should be a happy place.

Sorry 'bout the speech.

Aww. I agree. I mean, there are definitely characters I can't tolerate on the one show I cling to (Lisa and Ben) and therefore finally learned to avoid, but fandom is definitely really silly about things. They seem dividing over this change to Cas's character. I don't think anyone actually hates him now. I don't really get the character assassination, either. I think the writers made him more interesting. But I don't know, I was completely indifferent to him so I don't know how his fans feel. I was kind of hoping he would go away after a while because he took away from things I loved about the show, but I never hated him. Oh well. SPN fandom has always been a little bitchy. I suppose after seven years we should just accept it (though it is still a bit aggravating.) Some of us have stuck around for three seasons of things we don't much care for, so I don't know...they can deal with what I hope is bringing it back to the core of the show for what might be it's last season.

I agree, though. Fandom should be a happy place.

I'm definitely still in. I enjoy Cas but I'm in for the brothers and am really hoping they can spend next season together.

Although I am cruel and want more fallout from the wall coming down.

Yayyy. ♥

Ahaha although with the wall fallout, I just don't want it to cause conflict between them. I hope we do see the effects and such.

Oh, I definitely want the boys dealing with wall fallout together. Dean's lost too much (just in the last 2 episodes). I want next season to be all SamnDean (+Bobby).

♥ I appreciate all of this. And I'm really glad they've given this new element to Cas.
I'm sure Dean will fix the Impala, as the poor bb has been smashed a few times before. ♥

I'm with you on wanting the brothers together again. When Sam said, "I'm not leaving my brother out there alone" I nearly shouted out loud.

I feel like a real hypocrite, because I have affection for Mark Sheppard because of his care and regard for fans going back to Firefly, and I enjoy Misha Collins a lot and respect him for his galvanizing fandom for good, and refusing to take himself too seriously. But honestly, every time Crowley or Castiel appear onscreen I want to throw things. Seeing less of both or either will be absolutely fine with me.

And of course Bobby and Dean will take care of the Impala, and Sam will help.

I agree with all of this, basically. I'm so, so ready for change on this show, and I'm willing to take anything as long as we get our boys back.

And there's a part of me that's frankly really happy that so many Cas fans are pissed off. Now they know how Sam fans have felt for two years of them talking shit about Sam, how he was an awful person and did awful things and "Cas is more important than Sam now!!!"

Dude, I agree so hard. There is such a double standard when it comes to Cas and Sam and I don't understand it at all. Sam goes against Dean, all messed up and thinking he's doing the right thing, it's "OMG SAM I HATE YOU." Cas does it and it's "OMG POOR CAS. DEAN, STOP BEING SO MEAN." Yeah, I appreciate that Cas fans have their character and stuff, but it's not the Cas Show. It's the Sam and Dean Show. Cas has never been more important than either of the brothers, and I don't really get why they think he is or where this "Cas is so much more interesting than Sam and Dean" shit is coming from. Ugh. They can leave if they hate getting back to brass tacks so much, but I wish they wouldn't. I don't want ratings to fall, or for Show to suffer right when it's getting good again.

Right? When Sam pulled this, he was a horrible, terrible person and it was all about how they were right all along and Dean deserved someone better (aka Cas) blah blah blah, and now that Cas has done the same thing (actually worse, imo, considering what he did to Sam), it's all about how horrible Dean is and how if he had just hugged Cas none of this would have happened. No. The character was interesting, and had potential that the writers kinda messed up, but this show started out being about Sam and Dean and that's always going to be the core of the show. Everything else is secondary ( ... )

lol! (I didn't get to see the finale last night, but clicked on your spoiler anyway, and quickly skipped down to here when my brain caught up. Guess I was too out of the loop back then.) just gonna say something here, because I'm back in anticapatory mode and thinking about the finale again ( ... )
