it's gonna be a long summer
I've been slacking on the posting lately, but Supernatural finale! I must react!
I'd stayed pretty well unspoiled for SPN for the last half of the season, so even though I was preeeeetty sure Dean was going to hell courtesy of Lilith's handbasket, I wasn't sure. I almost think I'd have felt ripped off if he didn't, heh. SO much buildup over the season, and then they discover a loophole in the last day? Would've been an anticlimax, imo. So as much as I squirmed seeing Dean on meathooks, and as much as it kills me in my SOUL to know he'll be there all summer, I LOVE IT.
For the record? That brotherly bonding/singing scene was the most ridiculous, awkward, embarrassing moment I've ever had while watching SPN. I know a lot of people have an embarrassment squick, and usually mine doesn't go off often, but this pinged me so hard. Ouch. I just wanted it to be over over over. Why does Jensen Ackles make Dean sing off-key? We all know he can sing at least decently, WHY DOES DEAN HAVE TO BE SO AWFUL? :(
Sam crying over Dean's body? OH GOD. You know how Dean's chest got all shredded via hellhound claws? That was how my chest was feeling while Sam cried. Oh, Sammy. As much as I hurt for you, I am also secure in the knowledge that this will prompt you to become all badass and dark, and that is all I have ever wished for when I'm down on my knees praying to Kripke.
I am so interested to know what happened to Ruby, though! And Bela! And I don't like Bela at all, and Ruby only marginally. But still, I want to know if Bela's on some meathooks herself, if she's going demon-y any time soon, if Ruby's back in hell and paying the price for attempting to help the boys...
So, what was the point really of Ruby not telling Sam that Lilith held the contract? That they'd want to go rushing off half-cocked seemed a little (ahem A LOT) flimsy to me, and it didn't just feel flimsy like Ruby was being manipulative, it felt flimsy like the writers decided to have it be Lilith at the last minute and had to come up with a reason why Ruby wouldn't have told them in the first place. If she'd told them, it probably would have gone down exactly like it went down in the episode (them not trusting her, taking the knife, whatever), except she'd have months and not hours to explain to Sam what he could do to save Dean. From the sounds of it, Lilith isn't exactly easy to get your hands on most of the time, hence the whole "shore leave" thing, so the boys probably would have had to come back to Ruby for help eventually anyway, even if they had tried to go off half-cocked.
I am looking forward to a summer full of Dean in hell and Sam being badass and getting him out fics. :D
