Supernartural Finale

[kingstoken]

I'm torn about this one, I think it was beautifully done, but at the same time this not the ending I wanted.

I really just wanted them all to be happy and together. The scenes of Sam being alone in the bunker looking at all the names on the table hurt so much. This is such a sad ending, especially for Sam, like he is forced to live, with his entire family being dead. I was a little afraid that he might commit suicide when he was in Dean's room, and I think the only reason he didn't was because of, one the dog, and two the fact that someone called and needed help. Like, I know we are supposed to be happy for Sam, because he got to live his normal life, have a wife and a kid, and grow old, but it just didn't feel right.

Dean's death scene made me cry, and I was determined I wasn't going to do that, I wasn't crying so much for Dean, because he seemed accepting of his end, I was more upset for Sam, who was losing so much.

I will say I am very glad they addressed the heaven situation, and they implied that Cas is alive and in Heaven somewhere, although I would have liked to see him. It was also nice to know Bobby wasn't spending eternity in heaven's lock-up.

Overall I think this one is going to have to sit with me for awhile, and I may feel better about it after I've had some time to reflect, or I may just reject it outright, we'll see.

I loved the finale episode I still break into tears when I see a gifset of the barn scene or their reunion in heaven. I am also loving the whole parallels of Dean/Sam and Jack/Rose from Titanic Sam and Rose both lived because the ones they loved wanted them to and then when their life came to an end were reunited.

It wasn't perfect but it was really well done, Jensen and Jared were amazing in the episode. Which makes it hard to see others on twitter/tumblr doing their best to tear them down, attack the episode and doing their best to get it to get the lowest rating of all the episodes. It is heartbreaking to see certain parts of the fandom turn and be so horrible to J2, the writers and the rest of the cast because they didn't get the reunion they wanted. Jim Beaver was bullied off of twitter.

They did their best but with the virus and restrictions, they could only do so much and bring back only so many actors. I am glad that it ended centred around Sam and Dean that is how it started and that is how it should have ended. Would I have loved to have seen Dean and Sam reunited with John and Mary again? Yes but that is what fanfics are for. I would have also loved to have seen Ash, Jo, Rufus, Pamela and Ellen back, Sam and Dean walking into the roadhouse and being greeted by all those they have loved and lost but again that is what fanfiction is for.

Thank you for your thoughts, I'm still very torn about the finale, but I do agree that they were trying to finish the series under some very trying circumstances, and I think under normal circumstances you would have seen lots of other characters in heaven, including Cas, and maybe Jody, Donna, Alt!Charlie, or Eileen during the montages with Sam down on earth.

I did hear about the twitter bullying and the awful fan behaviour, which is such a shame, like you can dislike/criticize something without being an asshole to the cast and crew. I don't understand where the impulse to berate the creators comes from, like I really disliked the Game of Thrones final season (along with many others), but the only thing I did was discuss it with other fans on Dreamwidth or over on Tumblr and Reddit, we complained to each other, got our emotions out, and then moved on the best we could.

P.S. Your icon is very pretty.

When they killed off Ianto from Torchwood I was utterly heartbroken and I shared my thoughts with friends and fellow fans but I never got the whole attacking writers/actors over what has happened. Would I have loved for Ianto's fate to be change? Yes but since it never happened I moved on and live in fix-it fics. I started Game of Thrones but it wasn't really for me and I saw lots of posts about how people didn't like how it ended.

People are going to have a difference of opinions that is just human nature and that is fine. I love discussing things with people whose opinions are different from mine, to see it from their side. But hating and bashing the cast and crew is just crossing a line. I feel so bad for J2 they put so much into Supernatural and to see some doing everything in their power to tear it down is just heartbreaking.

Thank you I got the icon from tumblr aborddelimpala made it. I fell in love with it the moment it appeared on my dashboard, the hardest issue was choosing which background colour to pick.
