I don't like this. I don't like this at all. I don't know why I don't but I don't and I don't like where it ended.

Had he ended the series here, I would be screaming bloody murder.

I trust Sera to do something with the next season that will make me ok with it all but right now I do not like this at all and am very very discombobulated and crying and unhappy about Show.

And I say this as someone who loveloveloved the end of S3 with Dean going into the pit. That was right and it fit and while I have really loved this entire season (which I just mistyped as serason, ha) almost 100% completely, I am not at all pleased with how it ended.

Can anyone say anything to make me okay with it?

Maybe I should've allowed myself to be spoiled and had some forewarning? Would it have helped?


In good news, Chuck was renewed. So, there's that.

I have two reactions:

1) WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?

and

2) LOL ASSBUTT.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

1. No. Clue.

2. Yeah, that was a lol.

I think I feel exactly the same way.

The best I can say is that the whole very end felt like a bit "but of course all is not as it seems" ending. I kept expecting a big twist where we learned there was some big fake thing in there, and now I feel like that's the point for next season.

I'm sure it isn't and I think S6 will be wonderful because I trust Sera but did Kripke really plan to leave it here and with this and that's *it*????? And my brain is just stuck there at the moment.

What left me just feeling really apprehensive was I think partially the meta "God writes it and it comes true!" feeling. When Chuck talked about tying up loose ends, that's exactly what bringing back Bobby and Cas and then quickly dispatching them felt like--tying up loose ends the way you do at the end of a TV series. The kind where everybody hangs out all the time and then suddenly have dumb reasons to separate because it's the series finale and they want it to be sad.

So everybody felt like they were in an illusion to me. But on a good note, hopefully an illusion to be shattered when everybody thinks "Wait a minute, I'm Team Free Will. I don't want to be in this ending! I've got other things to do!"

Obviously designed to be a mindfuck but at least there's a season six.

p.s. I initially typed 'season' as 'sex'.

"And then they woke up."

Lamest ending EVER. Nonplussed doesn't even begin to describe my reaction. Season six better make it right.

[tahirire.livejournal.com]

THAT'S NOT WHAT IT WAS! ARE YOU SERIOUS!? !

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Well, re Bobby and Cas, yeah it sort of was. I'm just befuddled about whether Kripke had always planned to end it just like this because that justngoes against everything I thought about Show.

If it was meant to be the two of them in the plinth together, that'd be different. But this is just... It isn't where they are supposed to end.

I know, I kept expecting Dean to jump after him. Er, them. I mean, both his little brothers down a pit and he's not chasing them?

I want to write AU fic now.

[roguebitch.livejournal.com]

Okay, that was probably unnecessarily mean. Sorry.

That's my shorthand for authorial cop-outs. Or when I dislike the handling of an ending.

Neil Gaiman. "A Doll's House". Rose, writing in her journal, complaining about literary handwaving.

I could maybe say something to help you be ok with it if you said what's bothering you?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Well, I know there is and will be an S6. But if there hadn't been, wouldnKripke have really ended it with this, with the boys apart for all eternity? I wasn't watching Show in S1, so perhaps this is his tweak on Giant Truck of Doom and Uncertainty ie We Are Mindfucking You! but I want some sort of hope for togetherness and saving people and hunting things for both of them, and I'm just realy upset that Kripke hadn't planned to end it thatbway, but rather with them forever separated.

Well, I know there is and will be an S6. But if there hadn't been, wouldnKripke have really ended it with this, with the boys apart for all eternity?

NO, of COURSE not! They would have gone into the pit TOGETHER AND SAVED THE WORLD. S6 is the only reason either of them are still alive, DUH. *headdesk x a billionty*

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

maybe?

I want to have that faith and I don't. But there will be an S6 so on one level it doesn't matter but it just made it so hard to watch the last five minutes. Had the episode ended with sam and Adam going into the hole I migt be feeling better about it right now. Isn't that weird?

[tahirire.livejournal.com]

Not so weird. :)

[tptigger.livejournal.com]

Honestly I was trying to figure out why there were 15 minutes left in the episode at that point.

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

WHAT THE HELL, HEIDI.

My heart has been RIPPED OUT. I can hardly feel ANYTHING.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Would some popcorn help?

[effervescent.livejournal.com]

Hm, it's funny, I actually found myself thinking that all of this wouldn't feel so cheap and meaningless if season six hadn't happened. It wouldn't feel like a reset button was hit in the last five minutes of the episode.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

That is really interesting because I don't feel like there was a reset button at all - well, for Bobby and Cas, but not for the boys and they're who I watch for.

[tptigger.livejournal.com]

*is too busy bawling to make sense of it*
And honestly, I feel like if this had been End of Show, then the only difference would be no Sam at the end....

[hufflepuffia.livejournal.com]

I just finished it and for the last 5 minutes have been muttering "What is going on What is going on What is going on?" on repeat......


WHAT IS GOING ON???
