Supernatural 522

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...

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?
