SPN - 5.21 - 'Two Minutes To Midnight' - Insta Reaction/Meta

So I noticed way back in S3, Kripke's habit for completely giving away the finale in mid-season episodes. It was true for Scarecrow and Hunted. Remained true for Malleus Maleficarum. And for Heaven & Hell. So...

Oh my goodness, Ellen and Jo. ELLEN AND JO. I <3 your brain. Sam and Dean jumping into the pit TOGETHER. OMFG.

It makes sense, it really does. I've never really wanted them going off a cliff together, but worse would be one dying and leaving the other, so if they're going to save the world -- them going out together in the blaze of glory Kripke has often said he wanted to do, that would be pretty awesome. And it's not the end END, because there's S6 so they'll be okay, somehow. Have no idea how but whoa, I love your theory here. And you've been right about other stuff!

I watched that final scene with Dean and the rings, and my brain just couldn't get anywhere else. No way I can see Dean standing there and watching Sam jump into the pit alone. Not after this season. Not after Ellen and Jo, and word that Kripke's still completing this episode as if it was the series finale. If Dean's letting Sam do this? He's going with him. *whibbles*

I've never really wanted them going off a cliff together,
I was a pretty big proponent of the blaze of glory for years. Until living through S4. After that, all I wanted was lollipops and rainbows for everyone. Which I'd wager we're probably not getting this Thursday. I never thought I'd say it but thank GOD, we have S6, now! Lollipops and rainbows later! XD

Maybe people want Sam to think that he needs to drink lots of demon blood, just to see him feed his addiction? I don't know. Maybe he can find a way around it.

Happy birthday, btw! I know I'm a few days late. Hope it was a good one. :)

Dean jumping in with Sam would make my friggin' day! Just the... "guh* of it all...

And because we know there's a season 6 I would totally be up for it ending that way. I mean, come on! It's makes sense. S2 ending in Sam's death, S3 ending in Dean's... S5 could totally end with them BOTH dying... together!

Imagine the fic that would come out of that?! We'd have a whole hiatus to ponder over where they are before they are brought back to earth.

Hee! Can you tell I'm all excited for the finale...\o/

Oh and YES to all of this re 5.21. I especially loved that this is the Cas that is in The End. I love how it all looks like it's heading toward that future. Very clever.

Not long to wait now... \o/

Now what I really want to know about is this demon blood mention again. A vessel that wasn't prepared to house Lucifer, sure, it has to down gallons of demon blood. But Sam's had the stuff pumping through his veins since he was six-months old, yo, that has to count for something right? 'You didn't need the feather to fly Dumbo' line from last year's season finale was intentionally placed and I refuse to believe they aren't gonna use it. *is stubborn*

This is very perplexing to me as well!

All I've been able to come up with so far is that whatever the purpose of the demon blood, it was created by Lucifer, so it has to serve his purposes more than anything else. I don't think there's a chance of Sam in anyway using the blood to his advantage. It has to be designed to make him more suitable for Lucifer (likely physically a stronger vessel, but weaker-willed if anything).

I expanded on it a bit here: http://monicawoe.livejournal.com/12327.html

Dean is totally gonna jump into that hellfire with Sam, isn't he? With the amulet around his neck, after Sam gave it back to him in some sweeping, I know you don't want to see me do this, but have faith in me, speech.

I hope so. I'm really okay with that as long as they're together! (And as long as Bobby takes care of the Impala.)
