Yeah, I am conflicted. It's not the show I fell so hard for but I'd like them to have a good end and not just wither. Maybe they can commit to a good end.

If not, I hope people involved onscreen and on set are making bank.

I certainly hope so. I assume they've done pretty well so far, but they've also sacrificed a lot of other opportunities to stick with this show. (Or I assume they have, anyway.)

Hey, Tessa the reaper is in an episode of Veronica Mars!

Cool. I hadn't realized.

Did you guys see yesterday's xkcd? It was rather supernaturally.

I knew Mrs. Tran was still alive!

I am so bored with the angel battles. Blah, blah, blah...lets get back to the family business.

Was everybody spoiled? Is that why there was no cry of "Kevin!"?

I did *love* his grumble of, "I spend weeks trying to make you guys hear me, and where do I finally break through? In the middle of a Dean Winchester pity party."

I am *so* glad that Sam walked away. I was terribly afraid that when Kevin told them to "get over it. At least you guys are alive and can still work stuff out," that the brothers would just be like, "Bygones," and things would go back to their version of "normal." Sam has unresolved issues dating back to losing Dean in S3, demon blood addiction in S4, hell PTSD, remorse for Soulless' less-than-upright hunting, not saving Dean--again. And Dean has to, at some point, acknowledge that Sam--to quote Meg Mark I--isn't "luggage," and he doesn't get to put him where he wants him and expect him to "stay." They got stuff to deal with. And I hope like hell the writers are actually going to write scripts that let them get it out, and deal with it. On both sides.

I wasn't spoiled about Kevin, but was very happy/excited to see him and to see mama-Tran. And then there was angel blah-blah-blah. Which hadn't been a problem for me in the past. I just hit my tipping point.

I didn't get to watch till this morning, and I wasn't fully caffeinated at the time.

I completely agree about the end, though -- you could see when Sam was answering Kevin that it was lip service. It hurts that Dean has to learn the hard way, but he clearly does.

It was great to get some resolution on Mrs. Tran, but I am sort of tired of the lack of permanence of almost anything on this show. Kevin's dead! I get bringing back his spirit in this case, to save his mom, but at the same time...whatever.

Also, so tired of the angel stuff. I said to S. this morning after it was over, I had no idea what was going on with the angels and I really didn't care anymore. It would have been so much more compelling (for me anyway) to keep Cas human and have him adjust completely, for good, with all the bumps and bruises associated with human life.

Sits in Amy's corner.
