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.
I can't care about everything the way I care about SPN.
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.
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?
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 get the impression that fandom at large hated it, but I'd love to know how the viewership at large felt about it.
I only watched it live the once. I plan to rewatch this week. I think I'm a little frightened.
We just watched it again. I don't hate the episode. The only thing I don't like is Chuck being God but maybe he's more like Jesus or The Holy Ghost.
The love! So much love! So little epic battle!
And the Impala!
Of brotherly love!
Stargazing and Ozzy concerts. I go fuzzy thinking of it.
