SPN Season Finale

[oselle]

I should probably wait to digest the episode and maybe watch it again but...I don't really want to watch it again. I thought it was slow and draggy and dull and at times annoying.

Dean gets yet another bitch-slapping about what a whiny-ass little titty-baby he is, and this time from Bobby. Is there anyone on the show at this point who hasn't told Dean he's a self-pitying jerk? I mean, seriously, is anyone left?

Meanwhile the real whiny-ass titty-baby goes off and murders some helpless, captive innocent because he thinks he got a nastygram from his brother. I'm not saying this to piss off you Samgirls. You Samgirls should be pissed off at the show for making Sam into the biggest fucking tool ever. I'm glad the episode ended with Sam and Dean reunited because I think by now Dean -- forgiving, loyal Dean -- is just about the only creature in heaven or on earth who could tolerate Sam's presence.

Dean spends half the episode uselessly pacing around in what I at first thought was an anteroom at The Vatican. I was literally afraid that the pope was going to make a cameo appearance. There was a creepiness to those scenes that made me think the "Dean's still in hell" theory was going to come true, but no. Just more dickishness from Zach, now with beer and cheeseburgers and "70 sluts." Sigh. I know, okay, I KNOW they put all that in there specifically to show what a dick Zach is and how he doesn't understand anything about Dean and has a very shallow and low opinion of him but you know what? All that just made Zach look really stupid and a stupid angel with apparently the worst powers of persuasion ever is not very intimidating.

Lilith supposedly knows she's the Last Seal and yet she still shows up at the pre-appointed place at the pre-appointed time. In lingerie. Sigh. Whatever.

Sam was always "the one" but Azazel had to recruit a whole "army" of demon kids and then stage an apparently unnecessary showdown?

The stuff with the dead nuns was grotesque and not in a fun, gory way. And ya know what, Kripke, ya fuckin pervert?? Even in 1972, most of those nuns would have been middle-aged and elderly women not nubile young things. But old bags aren't as much fun to slaughter and splay out, are they?

I didn't hate it all. Castiel continues to rock and I loved him throwing Dean up against that wall and the look of sheer bug-eyed terror on Dean's face when he thought Castiel was going to kill him. And then Castiel slathering that sigil on the wall with his own blood -- awesome. Castiel's in some seriously deep shit now.

Chuck putting his hand on Castiel's shoulder and Castiel giving him that glare of disapproval -- fantastic. Castiel's apparently a one-human kinda guy. And Dean's a heckuva lot prettier than Chuck.

They had their cake and ate it too with Ruby didn't they? YES she was evil but YES...she really did care for Sam! Whatever. She's dead. I hope she stays dead. I suspect we'll have Anna around next season to provide some requisite simpering and skin.

Overall, the most exciting thing I saw tonight was the first commercial for My Bloody Valentine...on DVD May 19th!! YAY!! Jensen in 3-D! Jensen in beater! Jensen flippin' out in mineshaft! Bring it on!

OMG! Bobby's speech annoyed me so much, I though I was the only one. It's a minor thing because this show gave me Castiel chosing Dean. I didn't realize how much I needed something like that to happen in the show. *is overinvested*

I agree with what you say and now I hope that we'll see some major bridges building from Sam as well. If he lets go of his pride, I can look at him and see him grow. Because, you see, Dean, when it comes to do the right thing by his family, always comes trough and that's enough to satisfy my Dean's love forever and ever.

I may hoe that this will be next season theme between Dean and Sam. Both wanting to kill Lucifer, together and working through re-building that trust and bond this last year has nearly completely broken.

Please, Kripke? Give me that?

Castiel choosing Dean

This is a very big deal since Dean seems to have so little help right now. And Castiel really sacrificed himself to help Dean...if the other angels get hold of him now, I think there's going to be something far worse than a visit to "bible camp" in Castiel's future.

Me, too. I love that Castiel chose Dean.
