I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There so doesn't need to be a remake of Being Human. But I guess it gives him something to do with all the S6 waffling. Is S6 for sure yet?

Because books.

Not as far as I've heard. Rumblings, but no announcements.

I was reading some stuff that made it sound like Kripke was making more peace with it, but I've been mainlining stuff that was written over such a wide time period that I was getting all confused.

What is definite, right, is that the Js are signed?

Because books.

I think they might be contractually obligated or something, but again I'm not sure. And you're right, there are so many rumors, and it's been discussed for so long, I have no idea where anyone actually is in negotiations at this point.

I'll watch a sixth season, for sure. I just want it to be worth it. I watched Buffy S7 and only very rarely felt that way. But at this point, even with the huge-ass big bad they have to defeat, I'm not sure they have enough time to wrap up the entire series in 12 more episodes.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I want them to defeat Lucifer this season. Let the last season deal with the fallout from defeating both sides in the apocalypse, plus the personal fallout.

Like anything else, though, that fallout would have to have a direction, a purpose. It couldn't be simply 22 episodes of the boys licking their wounds and learning to trust each other again.

Without some common foe, though, it's hard to imagine what that might be. Finding long-lost family might have been cool, but we already know YED killed them all, so.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know, a season of the boys hunting lesser bads, saving one person or family at a time instead of the whole world, and in the process rebuilding brotherly trust and bonds sounds pretty good to me.

If the plan was to end in five, I'm sure it was to defeat Lucifer this season. If the plan is to continue to six, there's only so much of a cost at which that can come, which is a bit disappointing.

It's the kind of a series which can totally end with one or more principal deaths, but to live through defeating Lucifer and die at the end of season six is a bit lame.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'd kind of love this. This season has been good, but it would be nice to get back to the human stories that made me love the show in the first place.

More boys always sounds good to me, but I think in execution it would be a little too Seinfeld for me.

This.
