The Winchester Family Business

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS NOT HAPPENING...

Kripke, I hope you rot in... Damn you, Kripke! [The episode was mind bogglingly stupendous!!!!!] *runs offs to go insane*

Me likey...Damn you, Kripke!!! (And thank you very much)

I wondered if Chuck would be God (granted, only for a very short period of time) but I really liked that Chuck was the voice of Kripke and I could sense the change in the character from the beginning, much more confident in his writing.

The Impala was fabulous, all those little bits of a childhood that make a home...we've always said it and Kripke delivered, the Impala is home.

When Dean was left with nothing, Castiel blown apart, Bobby dead, Sam in the hole, there was Dean, battered and bloody and leaning against what's always had his (their backs) the Impala.

I'm thrilled with how it ended...most notably because Sam is still alive. Is Sam the devil back on earth? I don't think so. I think as Chuck stated, it was a test and both brothers did well. I think God restored Sam and Sam is watching Dean. I wonder if it starts next season with Dean trying to adjust and Sam trying to figure out if he should reup with Dean or let him be happy.

Bobby lives!!!! BOBBY LIVES!!!! And he's hunting a rugaru...wheee...Bobby will be back next season. The door is greatly opened for Castiel to return and I don't mind that either.

Kripke, you're right, beginnings are easy, open lots of doors and start lots of threads...endings are hard because there are always untied bits...thank goodness (and yes, you to CW) for a sixth season.

I love the dual moments when Dean is telling Sam that it's okay. He's here and he's not going to leave him and then Sam regains control and tells Dean that it's okay. He's here and he's got him....beautiful.

I love the use of all those shots from the past, every single one of them...if that's what it took to get another song than I loved it because it brought so much together to closing this storyline.

Hellatus is here...damn network schedules...and the reality of producing a show and the fact that time is needed and blah, blah, blah...I loved it.

Somebody start the clock, Hellatus begins.

Scurries off to take a look at an article I'm preparing...

Oh. My. Gosh. elle2 you summed it up perfectly; I was nodding my head as I read your comment. I really loved Chuck narrating because the whole time I was picturing Kripke in his place putting his own touches on his creation that is Supernatural. Very creative on his part. He is an incredible writer. God, what a finale. Onto a new beginning in the fall, and DAMN YOU KRIPKE YOU'RE AWESOME

"Damn you, Kripke!" and thank you for your brillance
Can't imagine where the show will go without you! Jared(Sam) rocked Lucifer btw.I guess I will have to rewatch all the seasons to bide my time until Sept season....

The amulet was something I really missed. I think the light was Sam appearing outside. I hope they don't start s6 off 3 months later. Hate to see Sam and Dean that sad for months. Guess that was the cliff hanger!

Really nice if Adam came back too, but he said he was happier in heaven with his mom, so maybe that's where he is. Seems God fixed everything...until next Sept.

I wonder, Was Chuck God the whole time? Or did they just decide to make a character we knew God and said lets go with Chuck? However if Chuck has been God all along they told us when they introduced him when after meeting Sam and Dean he makes the announcement he is A God... Such awesome show

Oh my... apparently Kripke is God, hee. Amazing, beautiful ... swan song indeed. Crying buckets.

Ardeospina, I wondered about the light as well... If it is Sam and he's okay, would he let Dean go on believing he's dead so that Dean can go on living a normal life? But yeah, all that demon blood, status post Lucifer possession, wouldn't be surprised if Sam came back a bit, er, radioactive. As for Chuck (so perfect!!!), I figure God can keep the amulet on ice if he wants... That's what I tell myself anyway!

So many amazing details, like the look of shame on Sam's face when he's about to drink the demon blood, the way he asks Dean not to watch...

Wow, Sablegreen-- Sam back as a demon... there's a chilling thought.

Actually, I like that idea better than Sam not telling Dean he's alive. That's too sad. Sam leaving Dean to a normal life won't work, Cass already told Dean nothing has change...ie, no peace.

Hey, Bobby still needs his soul back--bring on season 6!!! And please excuse me while I squeal over my Ohio moment--he'll be hunting just outside DAYTON!!!! Previously for me it was when Sam & Dean posed as med students from Ohio State (which was where I graduated med school, in '05) and of course the Impala's new plates. I can live with a rougarou terrorizing my town (even if the Midwest is pretty far from the bayou, I think loup garous in the swamps were a variation on werewolf legends :geek:-) Not that anyone should care about any of this, I just had to share...

Wait, maybe if he died and came back he already has it back? Aargh. Must. Stop. Posting. Piecemeal. Thoughts.

Yep...it feels sucky... So sad for both boys. Really wish they had driven off in the impala together looking for the next monster to hunt, but glad they didn't leave Sam dead for the whole summer.

Happy aniversary, Alice. I think you made the right choice.

I love our Show.

The Epic Love Story of Sam & Dean was what this finale was all about. Ditto on what everyone else has said(except the ones complaining about it if any.)

I do love my show. And i love you Kripke. Damn you!
I am not coherent enough to put it my thoughts together.

So. Damn. Good.

Where’s that cigarette? I remember you mentioning it a couple of summers ago, Mr Kripke, and after last night? It has to be smoked.

‘You’re gonna let me say yes.’
‘No. That’s the thing. It’s not on me to let you do anything. You’re a grown - over-grown – man. If this is what you want, I’ll back your play. ‘
‘That’s the last thing I thought you’d ever say’.
‘It might be. I’m not gonna lie to you though. It goes against every fibre I got. I mean the truth is, you know - watchin’ out for you? It’s kind of been my job, you know? But more than that… It’s kind of who I am. But you’re not a kid any more Sam. And I can’t keep treatin’ you like one. Maybe I gotta grow up a little too. I don’t know if we have got a snowball’s chance, but I do know if anybody can do it, it’s you’.
‘Thank you’.
‘So, if this is what you want…is this really what you want?’
‘I let him out. I gotta put him back in.’
‘OK. That’s it then.’

Mr Padalecki? Kudos and a half to you, sir. A tour de force. A couple of quibbles notwithstanding, seriously dude. Pretty much every scene, particularly the mirror one was brilliant. Bravo, bravo and bravo again. You’ve come a long way. And Sam. All those demons surrounding him all his life…oh Sammy. And holy crap. The ending? What? What?

And Mr Ackles? Despite the obviously horrendous headcold you had, thou rocketh like no person hath rocketh-ed before. I teared up five times…but especially when Dean said ‘Well, then I ain’t gonna let him die alone’. That was the only thing left he could do for his brother. *sniff* And when Lucifer is beating the ever-lovin’ CRAP out of Dean and he keeps saying ‘Sammy, it’s OK. I’m here. I’m not gonna leave you’. Dean Winchester - not raising a hand to defend himself, not lifting a finger to save his little brother. And at the end when he says to Lisa ‘If it’s not too late, I’d like to take you up on that beer’. Broke my heart.

(By the way, did anyone else think Jensen looked just like Jeffery Dean Morgan when he said ‘Yeah’ when Lisa asked Dean if he was OK? No? Just me then).

"In between jobs, Sam and Dean would sometimes get a day, sometimes a week if they were lucky. They’d pass the time lining their pockets. Sam used to insist on honest work, but now he hustles pool like his brother. They could go anywhere and do anything. They drove a thousand miles for an Ozzy show. Two days for a Jayhawks game. And when it was clear, they’d park her in the middle of nowhere. Sit on the hood and watch the stars for hours without saying a word."

Mr Kripke? You MAGNIFICENT bastard.

Love that you heard how we were upset we were that either Cas or Bobby might die so you killed both! And then brought them back – ‘new and improved’… (What?) Sal Moriaty… and including your own inner monologue about endings being hard. And those clips of the Winchesters' childhood worked and narration worked and the memories from the series beginning in the pilot SO worked and the Impala-as-their-home and the Kripke-as-Chuck-as-God/the Trickster and bringing Sam back before not after hiatus? Genius. If I had a hat on, sir, I would it take it off to you. Ms Gamble, you‘d better gird your loins. A tough act to follow.

And now we fans will languish for week after golden/grey week of summer, each quiet Thursday evening/WAY-too-early Friday morning for those of us on this side of the pond, sadly lacking that certain Supernatural something in the air. How long is the hiatus? Wake me up when September ends…

Alice, happy anniversary

Wow, seems that everybody was here, so I'm gonna join, too

You know what I did? Watched TwoMinutesToMidnight last saturday - just ones - then went through the week trying not to think about the finale, also avoiding every preview, trailer, spoiler, comment, and then, today, re-watched TwoMinutesToMidnight and then watched SwanSong. I'm telling you, it was hard, but so worth it!!!

What a finale! If it had been the series' finale, it would have worked. I mean, the narration, the flashbacks - just beautiful! And they found a way to bring out all the things that matter in life: "I'm not gonna let him die alone", "It's okay, I won't leave you", just to mention a few. One quote especially sticked with me: "Peace or freedom?"

I am so glad everyone survived, am so looking forward to see everybody again next season (yes, I do believe there will be room for angel Cas, too). Regarding next season: I have a slight feeling, that the things said in the Sam/Lucifer dialogue in front of the mirror - with Jared's brilliant performance! - will have to do with the ongoing Winchester story. Sam's reappearance in the final scene just strengthens this feeling. Well, have to wait and see.

Yes, family wins! It's Kripke's guideline from the beginning, and he's surely proven his point.

I was wondering how this myth arc would wrap up, at one point I even believed that it would move on to S6, at least for just a couple of episodes. But, the Supernatural-team did such an amazing job! So, at this point, if anyone from the Supernatural-team happens to read this: thank you for adding so much fun to my life Same goes to the TWFB-team, always enjoy to stop by and read and glad to be part of the family
