Happy birthday, Theresa!
Thanks for the link, ehab. I can't get to LJ from my work PC, and searching and linking from the phone is a bitch.
I can't decide how I want Sam to play out. But there are months to ponder that. Hopefully not too many.
I'm about to start obsessing about whether or not Misha will be a regular next season. Hopefully someone official will say something soon. And according to spoiler rules, it will be up for discussion 4 weeks here after that.
Man, I loved that finale. Just the montages alone...the idea that the boys drove a thousand miles for a concert, or would drink and stare at the stars in silence. I adore them to pieces.
the idea that the boys drove a thousand miles for a concert
For Ozzy. Duh.
Sorry for any confusion I called by calling out Pyromania instead of Rock of Ages. Pyromania was the name of the album and that is what was stuck in my head. Rock of Ages was my high school boyfriend's FAVORITE song and for years I couldn't hear it without thinking of him. I'm glad I'm past that now. And even if I weren't - now it is connected to the boys!!!
For Ozzy. Duh.
But they did it together! They went to ballgames! They did
stuff,
you know? The whole episode was a fic-feeding frenzy.
It was like what they should have had in Heaven, all wrapped up in a lovely fast montage.
I'm still agog at how well-done the Chuck voiceover was done. I was panicking from moment #1 that the Impala was going to buy it somehow, so I'm glad they didn't go there. But canon validation of the home, and putting Weechesters in it? ♥
"They were never, in fact, homeless" made me cry so fucking hard.
I think if it had ended with S5 they would have driven right in the pit (a la Thelma & Louise).
A small part of me sees the beauty in that. I'm not sorry we've got S6 though.
I'm not at all sorry for S6, but I think if I could erase that image of Sam standing there, or instead put a little smile on his face, I would have been okay with this being the end. I know Sam's in hell*, but he saved the world, with Dean's help. That's the sort of sacrifice you can't just wish away.
And Dean's in a different hell, even with Lisa, but I can see that as a little more like childbirth. It's still new, so the pain is still really fresh and really horrible, but it would ease as time went on. And I think he would find comfort, eventually, in knowing Cas was doing what he could to keep an eye on the world, and Bobby was doing what Bobby always did.
But yeah, very happy for S6 because I am a greedy addicted whore who will always want more boys until someone forcibly takes them away. And very curious to see how they play it out.
know
that. But my read was very much that it wasn't Sam there, or not our Sammy anyway, and that the light signifies something is off. Also, world didn't end, so I'm thinking that Michael and Lucifer cancelled each other out down there? Actually, I don't really know how to explain Sam standing there, so I'm ... waiting. But I still think his journey, from the pilot to this episode, wrapped up beautifully with his determination to choose his own fate despite all the odds, and with Dean there every step of the way, backing him up.
"They were never, in fact, homeless" made me cry so fucking hard.
Oh you and me both. Yay for my little Weechesters. You did have some happy kid times. Also, no wonder Dean loves the car so much. It was not just a memory and from his dad, it was his home.
But they did it together! They went to ballgames! They did stuff, you know? The whole episode was a fic-feeding frenzy.
This was HUGE. It means they were doing stuff in between the hunting and not just going from one monster hunt to the other and sleeping in between. They were living life. Together. Oh boys.

I like this idea.

Already there.
I think if it had ended with S5 they would have driven right in the pit (a la Thelma & Louise).
That's good. That's the first that I've thought about all three of them going together. If it had been the series finale (and in many ways it was for the five years) I definitely can see where changes would have been made. They had to leave somethings dangling for next season though.
Plus with an ending "Fans will always bitch."
I would not be okay with that ending if this were the series finale. I don't want Dean settling with Lisa. I think it's weird and broken and unfair to both of them. I have to keep thinking of them as temporary. This will severely colour my fic consumption over the summer.
In fact, my personal initial interpretation of it had him sleeping on her sofa because he's too broken to even start up a sexual or intimate relationship with her.
Also, no wonder Dean loves the car so much. It was not just a memory and from his dad, it was his home.
The car-bashing scene just got more emotionally charged...
Mo Ryan's review is up.
The car wasn't just a car, it was literally a vehicle for Sam and Dean's relationship; it transported them through their childhood and into their difficult youths and into their sometimes fractious adulthoods.

She accidentally calls Lisa Cindy and seems to believe confidently that it's Lucy!Sam standing outside.
Yeah, she thinks Sam is Lucifer. I'm pretty adamant he's not.
