As we were edging towards the season 5 finale, I swear...I was just dumb enough to think they were going to stun all of us and go full-blown apocalypse with Season 6. They were totally setting us up for it -- the virus was being unleashed, Dean had irrevocably said no to Michael and Sam had every intention of going to Detroit to say yes to Lucifer.
"The End" was a gift that could have kept on giving. Jared could have finally gotten to play Evil!Sam, not Evil?Sam. Castiel could have stayed in the show for a reason. Bobby would have been killed off and Dean could have worn a glorious THIGH HOLSTER all season while kicking ass every single week. Alas, they refused to take a chance on doing something that daring, in fact, I'm sure it never even crossed their minds. Instead, Kripke went full speed ahead with HIS series finale, and damn Season 6 and everything that might come after it. Seriously, the mind boggles.
