Show! spn 5x22

[roxy]

Still thinking about it. At first I was upset and may have abused my ancient TV set, but after niece and friend and I discussed it, I had to step back and think. The best way to watch Show? With someone who loves it madly. I wanted to have every single question resolved but have to live with the fact that I might not ever get some questions answered...but that's okay. :)

Why wouldn't you get some questions answered? Have they decided not to do a season six after all?

I had very mixed feeling for this episode as well, which is a first for me. Usually I just either like them or love them. This one...I'm not too sure.

It's Show. *shrugs* I love it unconditionally, and I always come around in the end.

I did bawl like a little, wet, angry baby, though. So much Pain! Holy fucking fuck! I am gutted, just like I was last year at this time and the year before (oh, Lordy! remember that season three final? *whistles*) and the year before *that* and. . .

Supernatural is a cruel Mistress BitchFace, but when you catch her at the right moment. . . well, that's when it's more than TV. *pat pat*

*clings*

I cried, no lie. Thank fuck no one else was around. It was just so....

IMPALA BACKSTORY! LOVE WINS THE DAY!!
Oh, man.
*twirls you*

It was so fucking awesome and now, now, now.....four months and we get *another season*.
YES!

I've been sort of retrospectively watching it with everyone on my flist who has posted positive reviews and love. I left the ep feeling disappointed, and other people's happiness with it has helped me feel better about it.

Mind you, I still want those answers, too, and somehow Kripke's handwaving, via Chuck, of the difficulties of writing an ending and making the pieces fit and satisfying the fans was distinctly Joss manqué and not actually the Jossiness he was aiming for and therefore fairly lame and annoying and condescending.

But Dean still loves Sam, and Sam still loves Dean, and if it was utter retconning fanservice to show them carving their initials into the Impala, and utter crap to say that Dean left a plastic toy soldier in an ashtray of a completely totalled car, it still kind of made me smile, you know?

Yeah, mixed feelings. Definitely.
