saoneSpoilers ahead for the season 5 finale...
That sucked.
For the first time I'm actually tempted to write some kind of 'fix-it' fic just to try and curtail the apathy that's starting to creep in towards the entire show and everything associated with it.
I just... really?
Five seasons, 100+ episodes and Kripke's time in the Captain's chair goes out like that?!
Castiel gets his powers back and immediately goes back to being heaven's bitch, I guess hoping to stage a coup which should be pretty interesting since most angels seemed to have wanted him dead. Dean is living in suburbia with a character he had a one-night-stand with over a decade ago, who's only pertinent feature seems to be that she and her son are ready to unquestioningly accept Dean into their pre-made nuclear family. I know Dean just lost his brother, but at some point I hope he remembers that to the rest of the world he's a dead, mass-murdering, serial killing, bank robber who spent a good deal of time on the FBI's most wanted list, and, you know, comes up with some contingency plans in case someone calls America's Most Wanted. He could do it over the dinner he's enjoying while Bobby (father figure, and the last bit of family he has) is out hunting alone. Hope you enjoy the pie, Dean.
And then there's Sam, or not!Sam, or whatever the hell that giant, flat-haired creature was on the sidewalk. Who wants to bet next scene would have been of him walking stoically off into the night and leaving his beloved brother to that wonderful new life of his?
(Which would fit in with a theory I've come up with for next season. I won't get into it because I hope I'm wrong. Really, really, really hope I'm wrong. Stupid show.)
Oh, but it's all okay, because, guess what? Chuck, the prophet, is God. Yes, the alcoholic, burnt out author who's waiting on a phone call from a dominatrix is God. Eric Kripke made his avatar on the show, who had spent many months literally screwing a fangirl, God.
Even Joss Whedon never got that bad.
Here's a question... if Chuck was God, then why didn't Dean's necklace ever get hot around him? Did I miss the part of 'The Monster at the End of the Book' where Dean said "Holy crap! My amulet's burning into my skin when I'm around this Chuck guy!"
Here's another question... what happened to Crowley? He was so gung-ho the last two eps about stopping the apocalypse, and then, 'poof', gone.
Wait, I forgot, those are plot holes, andKripke God said plot holes don't matter, and fans whine too much.
Uh huh.
So... Fringe on Thursday nights anyone?
That sucked.

I think I'm gonna go watch 30 Rock and think happy thoughts.

Of course, he's also in Australia right now. If my agents are successful in procuring him for me, you Yanks will never see him again *g*
They should go the Xena/Buffy route and have Sam and Dean work out their "homoerotic codependence" in a musical episode *g*

Ha! That would be so horrifically bad... I don't think the SPN writers could pull off a good musical ep.
