I'm handling this a whole lot better than Wash, actually. Agency, rather than chance.
Yes, oh God, yes. And Jo's comment about this would be Ellen's last chance to treat her like an adult ... ouch. Very heart-wrenching.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want last week back.
That was...I guess I'm relieved Bobby's still alive. But Ellen! Ellen! She went out like a hero, but I despair that anyone other than Sam and Dean survive. The story is all about ripping the world away from them. At least when they lose each other they get each other back. They even got Dad back for a while.
And now it's supposed to be a heavy Mentalist.

AHAHAHAHA! Bev, in my DW/LJ post, I almost mentioned Wash, but I figured my Doyle vs. Fred cranky was enough J-WeeWee talk for one entry.
I cried. I don't often do that.

I shed a tear too, which is rare for me outside very predictable crypoints. Dean's two kisses, Ellen's tears, kick them in the ass...I got sniffles.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I actually didn't--just too gutted, I think.
Did they lose the Colt (again)? Even though it didn't kill Lucifer, maybe it could kill Death.
Unless the Horsemen are the other beings it can't kill.

There are four of them and one Lucifer. It's totally possible.

I was hoping God was one of the things it couldn't kill. But the Horsemen made sense. I wanted to see Peter Wingfield arise.

Maybe God doesn't count as a mere being?

Kneel before Glod. ~Stephen Colbert
Excellent episode. Touching and riveting. I just love when Castiel told Lucifer, "You are not taking Sam Winchester. I won't allow it."
Ellen was a great character; I'll miss her. As far as I'm concerned, they really did right by Ellen and Jo. As others have said, they died heroically. Two strong, ass-kicking women.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I cried, but I found it unforgiveable. Jo and Ellen died for nothing. That's not agency. That's the storyteller fucking with them.
All the women are dead. Okay, not Meg, but Castiel threw her into the fire.
I loved Jo and Ellen, and this isn't a heroic death for me, it's pretty meaningless.
Everyone goes out of their way to help the Winchesters, and what they get is dead. Except for Bobby, Bobby gets to live. But Jo and Ellen and Pamela and Bela and Ruby and Jess and Mary and Madison? They're all dead.
I'm sorry if I'm peeing in anyone's cheetos, but man, I'm so upset. And angry.
