Angel ,'Not Fade Away'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Why so adamant that it has to be Bobby, Plei? No more father figure?
Yep. I mean, it's something they've been building toward/teasing us with since last season. This season, we've seen the loss of the mother/sister/potential future other. Time to remove the last of their human family.
Bobby's is the only death that's going to pack that emotional punch. He's the only thing they have left, human-wise.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Bobby will die.
I'm not as upset about that as I was a few months ago, somehow.
I'd be impressed if they get the stakes for next season high enough that I feel one of them dying makes sense.
Yeah, me too. Unless they stretch the god apocalypse over into next season, which I hope they don't.
I know that Bobby has to die. I do get the narrative reasons for it. I just don't WANT it to happen.
Aaargh! TWOP people agreeing that Dean shouldn't have made the deal to raise Sam in AHBL2. ::closes window::
Way to miss the point of show.
Exactly, ita. How do you watch this show and not get that it's about both of them, about their relationship together, how they sacrifice for their brother?
Boggles.
Even when it's not working, it's about it not working. I don't get not getting it.
I mean, I could skim past the people saying that Castiel was Dean's one true friend, but even that was getting tricky. Keeping Sam dead means that it's just not Supernatural.
There's no version of Dean that would have made that decision, not even End!Dean, I'd wager.
Nope. That's, like, the central thesis of his character: "I take care of my little brother." Full stop.
Man, I need hiatus to be over.
I could skim past the people saying that Castiel was Dean's one true friend, but even that was getting tricky.
Not to mention that Castiel wasn't around during AHBL II, and as we've seen (during Croatoan, and during AHBL itself) Dean is prepared to kill himself rather than go on living without Sam. They just don't work without each other. As we keep repeating in various ways on this thread, that IS the point of this show. And it's why we love them, in all their fucked up, codependent glory.
The Epic Love Story Of Sam And Dean.
You might not like it, but it is what you signed up for, so don't pretend it's not happening.
Not some "brotherly bond that never was and never shall be" crap. It's there. It's the light that's casting all the shadows.
