By who?

Laga, I can just see it now:

Dean doesn't bring Sam back from the dead and goes back to Lisa and Ben. The interwebs explode in a horrifying mass vitriolic venom directed at show creators. Fan outrage aside, from a narrative perspective, I can see how that might be satisfying. Then again, why not Mary who opts not to save John? I can see it now, the boys just disappear "poof".

I haven't thought that far ahead yet. But there was so much stress on The Natural Order of Things. On the other hand, that kind of meddling with fate ges back to Mary at least.

Somehow, for a million reasons, I can't see that happening. But I don't find it narratively satisfying either.

It also goes back to Faith. I don't think there's an easy reset button in this universe, and I don't think for a minute the writers want to get rid of Castiel or other newer characters, either.

But I don't find it narratively satisfying either.

I personally wouldn't either. It just read to me as tying a neat narrative bow on their theme this year.

For the most part, I do agree, I see it as a very unlikely scenario.

I would stomp my foot and pout, I assure you.

Well, since they're not planning on ending with this season, currently, I can't see how they could make that choice.

I know there has been speculation here before about how the show should end and I can honestly say at this point, I don't know what would be a satisfying end for me.

In some ways, the way Angel didn't end seems right for a show like this. In other ways, these boys have been fighting for so long, seeing them freed from that would be such a joy. And yet, I don't see how it can happen in the world they're in.

Theresa, my brains aren't very spicy, I'm afraid.

I'm staying at a remove from show this season. I don't know what to think about it, much less how to feel about it. I'm still invested in Winchesters and to a lesser degree in Mr. Singer. I haven't really recognized either brother this season so far, other than Dean in 6.1.

I'm waiting for the payoff when Sam wakes up with his soul. I hope we get our delayed reunion scene, just a little one. I hope Sam's grateful to be out of hell. I don't have any faith at all he's going to avoid scratching at that wall, but by the same token, I don't think we'll see what happens to him onscreen when the wall comes down--I think we'll see Dean's reaction to it.

On a meta level, I'm tired of Jensen carrying the emotional weight of the series. I think it's high time--past time--they gave Jared a pivotal, relevant, cathartic emotional scene. I want to see what he does with it. Jensen's a really good actor; I think Jared's good and getting better all the time, but he needs opportunities to stretch.

I dislike Samuel intensely. I am captivated by the idea introduced here lately that JDM-John should come back and give his father-in-law whatfor over dicking over his grandsons. If Samantha-Mary comes with him and rips a strip off her dad's hide for the same reasons, that would be icing on my cake, I could probably coast a long while on that happy. Not gonna happen, but it's nice to dream.

I have no idea and not much interest what happens to or with Meg. I'm over her. To be frank, I really would like it a lot if the demon identified itself so we could stop calling it the name of the blonde college girl it possessed in S1. I think Miner(Minor?) has done an excellent job with the character, but she doesn't have Aycox's onscreen presence, and thus is less than interesting for me.

I think we've wandered far afield from show's roots and original purpose. I maintain interest and some investment in the course of the Winchesters, but there's some distance there now, too. I'm waiting till I see how the season ends before I come to any final judgement on it.
