Supernatural 522

[katikat]

Wow, I cried my way through the ep, seriously.

No meaningful words, I'm just too stunned:

* Chuck was God, hah!
* Cas is alive! Bobby is alive!
* Sam's... wow! What's Sam, actually? O.o Is he alive? Is he still Lucifer?
* Poor Dean. Why do I think that without Sam, the family life won't be enough?

It broke my heart, literally. I'm glad that it's not the series finale! I just can't imagine Dean without Sam...

Dean is obviously not happy in the end and he'll do everything to find Sam

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he didn't look all that happy, did he? I'm so glad that there will be S6!

[ckll.livejournal.com]

Dean was dreaming of that life but not without Sammy in his life.

[kayljay.livejournal.com]

Is he alive?

*That* is a possibility I didn't consider.

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I think that he is alive, that God saved him just like he saved Cas and Bobby. As Chuck said, it was a test and the Winchesters did pretty good :) I can't wait for S6!

After watching it twice, I'm convinced there should be an episode where Castiel and Bobby team up. I think they'd be fun to watch together.

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I'm just glad that Cas survived, that there's still the possibility of him coming back, even if just as a guest star :)

But the last 5 secs of the episode killed me. What IS Sam? Did God resurrect him like he did with Cas?

I'm still chuckling over the fact that Chuck was God from the get-go. Ha! Didn't expect that :P

[cdewilde.livejournal.com]

Chuck as God was my favorite part of the episode. I saw him in that white shirt and looking cleaner than...well, than we've ever seen him and before I could say it, he flickered away.

I hope he comes back, too.

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I loved that part. The way he smiled and then flip - and he was gone. Perfect!

[creedcascade.livejournal.com]

I think it was written as the series finale, but now they have a season to fix it! Oh, Cas has his mojo back. But, oh Cas (angel hugs)

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that there will be S6 too - this ending as a series ending would habe broken my fricking heart :'(

[fatranka.livejournal.com]

Dean is definitely not happy, living a normal life without Sammy. They need each other to be happy (and they're gonna get back together in S6!).

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Dean needs a family but he needs Sammy more. And that's just so cute in a very co-dependent way :P

[fatranka.livejournal.com]

Sammy and Impala are Dean's family. That's enough XD

[jellicle.livejournal.com]

Sam's... wow! What's Sam, actually? O.o Is he alive? Is he still Lucifer?
Sam might be broken, messed up for the powers plus Lucifer plus hell, but I think he's Sam in the end.

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I also think that he was human in the end, alive but maybe still having some powers. Man, I need to know how he and Dean get together. I suspect that I'll be digging up spoilers over the summer like crazy!

[jellicle.livejournal.com]

I definitely will. I can't stand spending 4 months not knowing. It'd kill me.

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

XD To be fair, he told us as much, in the episode he was introduced.

I am SO VERY HAPPY this is not the finale, or I would be forced to murder Kripke painfully. WTF, MAN? Leaving Dean contemplating how much he wants to die over apple pie, every day? So not on. :(

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if we didn't know what Dean was thinking, that he wanted to die and that he went to Lisa only because he had promised it, it would be different. But as it is, it's painful, not happy :(

But man, stalking Sam - can you imagine the boom of Wincest fics that will bring? \o/

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

We didn't even need the voice over, the beauty of having Jensen Ackles act (aside from, you know, the beauty) is that he's got Dean's emotional state written on his face in capital letters. Big, bold, capital letters. Dean is more broken than he'd ever been in his life, and the one single thing that kept him from putting a gun to his head is the promise he made to Sammy. And he would always honour promises made to Sammy.

Why yes, I am firmly camped in the field under the "Sam and Dean are soulmates" banner.

Absolutely. I look forward to it. :D

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I wonder if Kripke really did mean it like that, that Sam and Dean are soul mates. I mean, when Ash said it, he looked at the one, then at the other with a very pointed look. And then they looked at each other like O.o And they did share their versions of Heaven, so...

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Ha. I think when Ash said it was for the benefit of the fangirls (I'm not wholly sold on the Heaven being anything but a hoax), but on the whole I rather think Kripke meant it. Oh sure, there's the underlying litany of "family is what's important", but despite blood being so crucial to the show, family is more than blood. Bobby is not blood, Ellen and Jo and Cas and Ash weren't, and they were family. Gabriel is the most glaring example - the show is about the family you build, not the family you are born into, and that right there convinces me Sam and Dean are soulmates, whether by divine order or because they chose it to be so.

For me, Chuck's voiceover drives it home better than anything else: how many people in your life you can take to an empty field and watch stars with for hours on end, without saying a word?

[twilight-angel.livejournal.com]

It broke my heart, and it was absolutely breath-takingly amazing. I need to watch it a second time because the first time through was too much of an emotional roller-coaster, since I was convinced at the beginning that the Impala would be destroyed. But no! The Impala saved the world! :D

Is it time for next season yet?

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I bawled like a kid throughout the episode. Man, it broke my heart. And I'm so happy that it's not a series finale. That would have left me dissatisfied. As a season finale, it was a great cliffhanger! \o/

[twilight-angel.livejournal.com]

As a season finale, it was pitch-perfect. Although, at some points, it felt kind of like a series finale (mostly Chuck's story of the Impala and his narration at the end). If they hadn't gotten the sixth season, I don't think the finale would've been much different, except of course the end: either Sam would've been stuck with Adam/Michael and Lucifer (BAD ENDING), or else Sam would've somehow managed to separate himself from Lucifer (maybe with Michael's help?) and then the boys are happily ever after the end.

But I am so glad that there's a sixth season! Can't wait!

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Hm, I think that if this was the series finale, Dean would've jumped into the pit with Sam, that Michael would have ended up in Dean and they would have both landed in the pit. I mean, there had to be a reason for why Michael promised Dean not to leave him brain-damaged.

[twilight-angel.livejournal.com]

YES. Then Chuck/God saves both Sam and Dean from the cage because, IDK, they martyred themselves with no contractual obligations to Hell but aren't dead, so no free ride to Heaven, just back to Earth. (Using the idea that martyr automatically = Heaven a la the movie Constantine.) Sam insists Dean go place house with LIsa, but Dean's like, "Bitch, get in the car," and they go off and keep hunting, the end.

...and then eventually become gods of hunters (a la American Gods) because I'm obsessed with that idea. :p

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I wonder if Sam's rescue had something to do with Dean's amulet, if he has it with him? That would be quite a nice twist XP

Well, Castiel did say that Chuck's books become the "Winchester Gospel", so you might be on to something there! ;P

[twilight-angel.livejournal.com]

THE AMULET YES. No way did Sam not take that with him, no way. Oh, that would be so cool if he's saved, first, because of the Impala and, second, because of the amulet. Oh, Winchesters, exactly as co-dependent as everyone says.

Well, it's either the Gospel of These Guys Who Started and Then Ended the Apocalypse, or the Gospel of These Guys Who Then Became Gods. Granted, the second one? Way cooler.
