I would terribly miss the guys if there's no SPN next season, but seeing them die would fit tonally with the show. I just would like them to die winning. Just because. It's the world they're trying to save.
Next season they'd go back to random mythological creatures? I can't see how that wouldn't be a letdown.
I agree, Amy. That's why I wish they would just come out and say this is the end, that's it, we're going out with a bang.

Oh yes. They had better save the damn world, die or no die.
So, the problems I'm having are with the mythology. I really don't like the Lucifer as younger brother story, I see why they are going that way for the parallelism, but I don't like it. And the idea that this raised death is a bigger badder death that has been "chained up" doesn't work for me at all.
And I don't understand burning the group picture in the least. That's not mythology, I just don't get it.
Hey, are we placing bets on whether or not Death is going to be an attractive (probably brunette) woman? Anyone?
Burning the picture was Bobby's emotional reaction. Deep down he must not have really believed the people he loved were going to die.
[Edit] And Jilli - Heh.
It's not a reaction I can really comprehend, I guess. All of them standing there watching it burn just makes me go "Huh?".

I saw it as the only way they could have a funeral without bodies to burn. They're standing there, giving them as close as they can to a hunter's send-off.
That's their ritual. That's how they say goodbye and godspeed to family.

Yes.
Man, I am so worried about Bobby, now. He's going to end up dying a terrible death, isn't he? There's just no way around it.
That makes sense. I would never have made that connection, but that is probably just me.
