SPN episode reaction

[rivkat]

Okay, so I liked rageprufrock’s point with respect to Dean’s casual alcoholism continuing in the last scene: nobody thinks this is his happy ending, not him or anybody who knows him, which is why I can live with it for a summer. The fact that both Sam and Dean grabbed onto Lisa and Ben as Dean’s ideal is understandable. It’s just not going to work. Which I hope won’t suck too much for Ben, because I hope this is like night #2 of Dean’s visit, rather than four months later or something awful like that.

I still need the amulet back. Sam, since you apparently have powers now, get right on that, okay?

In general: hanging a lantern on your difficulty writing an ending—not an excuse!

ETA: Okay, I did a bunch of research on the Impala stories. I am of the opinion that she was built in Texas, but I don't remember whether all the Impalas were made in Texas at that point or whether the show could have gotten it right. Anybody?

So it is sucky after all? They have been steadily deteriorating by season, the finales, and with the sheer amount of 180s they did the in the few previous eps. I wasn't expecting much.

Mhm. I'll watch it later. Maybe.

At least I've been given to understand that some good fic will come out of this? I love me some dark!Sam, even if they shop antichrist!Sam down.

It's ... half great and half infuriating, and though they probably knew that, like Buffy, I'm not grading on a curve.

Good fic, yes, likely.

sorry, this last one was me!
