Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

True, but I care for the story So Much Less in NCIS: LA. Honestly, I like them being cute and married and I don't care about the rest. Frankly, it makes for easier tv. I can't care about everything the way I care about SPN.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I tuned into that one time over the summer, and absolutely cannot remember one moment of it other than Linda Hunt's scenes. When I can find men as pretty as Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J completely forgettable, show is messing up bigtime.

Thrive to spite them

I finished S5!

Of course I watched this in one big gulp so I haven't had time to really think about it.

I liked Swan Song. I liked it as both a possible ending to the series and also as a continuing.

I am confused about certain things like Chuck disappearing -- is he God? If he is why didn't he just stop things?

The only theory I've come up with is the whole Michael v Lucifer thing got way out of hand and, uh, Dean and Sam were chosen because they could resist. Not sure why God couldn't fix things...but whatever.

At least Cas and Bobby are still alive and that's good. And if God can bring them back and he bring back Jo and Ellen?

anyway I'm excited about the new season.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesus, no. I can't even remember how I managed to care about both Buffy and Angel at the same time. At least they were both Jossverse.

If he is why didn't he just stop things?

Choice. Though he stacked the deck. I'm 80% sure he was God. I'd be 100%, except the retcon is kinda clumsy. But everything in Swan Song certainly seems to indicate it.

I loved Swan Song. I get the impression that fandom at large hated it, but I'd love to know how the viewership at large felt about it.

I loved Swan Song.

Me too.

I just rescheduled social plans I had on Friday to Saturday. That may not be the first time I've done that on a SPN night.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I really liked it. Close to loving it for the Impala backstory alone.

I thought at the time that God being Chuck was kind of an anvil. I was surprised at the debate.

If he is why didn't he just stop things?

Because God was only playing the part of Chuck. We can't know His mind. And He let's bad stuff happen.

Lucifer has a point. God made him, so how is it fair to punish him for acting as God knew he would act?

Bad shit happens to people all the time as a result of their actions. Why should Lucifer be immune?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I was thinking in terms of Lucifer fulfilling God's plans, and then still being punished for it. **discussion in the SPN verse, not my personal beliefs.

Did Lucifer fulfill God's plans any more than Dean did?

I only watched it live the once. I plan to rewatch this week. I think I'm a little frightened.
