SPN owns me. Mind heart body and soul.

[ultraviolet9a]

This show... it's like a crazy rollercoaster ride through heaven and hell at the same time. And it owns me because it ties me up in knots and then unties me and then ties me up in new shapes like a fucking origami or those pretzels Ellen ran out of.

And...omg. DEAN YOU FUCKING MORON! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? But I'm glad you did, because it wouldn't be you if you didn't, and right now you took over my heart, you handsome devil, you.

And OMG! *Snoopy dance of joy* I KNEW Bobby felt this way about the boys, like they were his own! That's how I always saw Bobby in my head and I knew that Bobby would act wth Dean the way he did when they went to the yard, because BOBBY. I love you, Bobby. Totally. And they way his palm was on Dean's face killed me. It killed me, the tenderness of one move revealing so much. Jim Beaver, you rock.

Also? I can't believe the YED is dead. I can't. It's just...totally.fucking.awesome. Revenge.YES. YES. With the best line ever, oh Dean. THANK YOU, KRIPKE.

Jake? I'm usually not a bitch? But your death? Was way easy and not as painfilled as it should have been. Cuz you gave in to the darkness. Not to keep your family alive, but to technically get more money. You could have shot the YED on the spot, and you didn't. And right now I'm too pissed off at you to feel sorry about you and contemplate how human nature is fragile and maybe the whole situation was so fucked up that giving in to the dark was the only sane solution you could see ahead of you. (Those things I'll think of later. Right now? Rot in hell, you bastard.)

The thing that broke me? As soon as the gate was open, I KNEW  John would show. I just knew it. The fact that we won't see him again in all likelihood just makes me weepy, but he looked as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Closure. A serenity we never saw on him. And the thought of him having an afterlife and finding his love...just...makes me more weepy. *sigh* God, this show is wrecking me, honestly.

So. Army of demons out, but gate closed. Ellen and Bobby, am glad they're alive. Looks like they're going to be playing a major part in season 3. Speaking of which.

APOCALYPSE. Yei! I LOVE that sort of setting. I love that they writers chose to close the gates, instead of giving the common "oh, gate is open, woe is me what shall happen" ending (though that would still be interesting to watch.) 200 strong demons on the loose? You kidding me? Have you got any idea how much brilliant fic that will spawn by the fandom? I can't wait to read it. I mean, they'll have to track 'em down now, won't they? Ye Gods, the brilliance of it.

It's like...it's a new era in a way. Loose ends tied down. We don't care anymore about psy kids because Sam is the only one of his generation alive. YED dead. Roadhouse burnt down. The army on the loose AND a way to give Dean more than a year (Oh, Dean, baby *hugs him*)

Just....man, the Colt thing...they should add more of those. Hell, even flashbacks with Mr. Colt would be made of awesome.

(But...you know? I have this tiny tingly feeling that the year ahead will be the last year for the show. Or else why would they have Dean have only one year left to live? :(  But no more of that. I got to celebrate the moment.)

This episode...just.... give them an Emmy, people. They deserve it.

Ok. Now I'm shutting up. I got to go find some chocolate and a handkerchief. *teary sigh*

Hugs to you, people, I'm kind of thinking we all need them.

I am in love with last night's ending, because it was closure but it was also a new beginning. A fresh start, with plenty of room for happyjoysquee and also angst. And I feel like they're in a good place where they have two roads that can be taken: the boys can find a way to save Dean and have many many more seasons of boy!angst and man!love, but there's also a chance at that much-coveted Blaze of Glory that I want so badly for them if (and that's a big IF) S3 is it. And that's a good thing, because I hate happy all-tied-up-with-a-pretty-bow endings to shows.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Yeah...it's like...something shifted, no? End of an era. And I get the feeling of closure that these boys feel. It's like Dean won't have to worry about his father anymore. John leaves in peace, no regrets. Now it's about his own life and the army running loose. Different setting.

And no, I'm not a fan of pretty bow endings, not to shows that don't have the potential for it. With the life they lead...*sigh* I don't want a Blaze of Glory either. A vague ride into the sunset would suffice. For now. I think. *sigh*

I had the exact same reaction to Dean. I mean, I'm all for the non-stabby death of my boy Sam, but SHIT, DEAN, you don't do that! You don't lay that crap on your brother! That said: Yay! He saved Sam!

Next season is going to be so cool, but I don't think we've seen the last of the YED. I mean, the last of him, yes, but not the last of Clan Yellow Eyes. There's a vacuum now, and Meg, for lack of a more official name, is still out there and now has another reason to hate some Winchesters. Killed her brother. Sent her to hell. Killed her father before his evil plan could come to fruition. I'm willing to bet she steps in, inherits some Yellow Eyes, and takes right the heck over where Daddy left off. And yes, Sam's generation of psy kids seems to be down to him (omg I'm totally convinced he's still going to end up leading the demon army), but there's still at least one younger generation that we know of--Rosie from "Salvation" and her year.

OMG. Just OMG.

Also: JOHHNNNNN!!!! I love him so much. And Bobby!!!

Sigh.

The SPN crew makes it really hard for me to keep the lines clear. I started off as a Sam girl, then John took over, and though John is still the supreme ruler of everything ultraviolet, right now Dean is covering lots of ground too. Blurry lines, man. Really blurry lines.

I'm not sure if Meg is strong enough to be like the YED. Sure, maybe she'll spawn plans and all that, but she ain't strong enough. Her daddy, he was immune to holy water. She wasn't. She has centuries before she can reach daddy's league.

I think there are always psykids. People blessed/cursed with some sort of innate ability that the Demon chose and then gave blood to. Unless he chose children randomly and passed on the abilities with the blood.

I think Rosy will be safe for years and years to come. Maybe she'll end up like Missouri? :)

And yes. OMG doesn't even begin to cover any of it.

And oh John. OH John. There'll be peace when you are done, baby. *hugs him and starts crying*

I hope Bobby sticks around.

(Man, I got this weepy mood and it won't go away. This show is ruining me.)

I KNEW Bobby felt this way about the boys, like they were his own!

You know all the scene withBobby and dean in the junkyard? Pure gold, I say. JA and JB played each other off so well. All those raw emotions, all those raw feeling, and the affection just bleeding through Bobby's eyes!

I have so much love for the episode, the gate to hell and the devil's trap and the iron railroad.
Also Jack, you are right he copuld have shot the YED rith there and be free of its threats, instead he chose to go evil.

John *loves* Are you happy with his coming back? I guess you are, reading this. And in that case *squee*.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Platinum gold, that scene. It just...it just...ah...hard to put in words how good that scene made me feel and how it held my heart.

So much love for the episode...

And yes. Jake is a darthvadering bastard.

And...JOOOOOHN. I'm all squee that he came back in the way that he did, but I KNEW it'd happen this way. I had guessed from episodes back how he'd come back as a ghost/soul when the boys needed him and as soon as Bobby said this is a gate to hell or sth I was like JOHN!

Of course, now that that is tied up we won't see him anymore. :( But I love him. Yes I do. And my baby had peace at last. *huuuugs him*

Yeah, baby!

I want to come back and add something thinky and profound, but you've meanwhile said pretty much everything I would have. (Again! LOL!) This review/meta is definitely going to my memories. This ... was Kripke's love letter to us all, and omg, I am so ... just ... yeah. This was like a grand symphony rising to the epic crecendo, and ending on just the right chord. Wow. I'm still digesting, I need to see it again (Amazon Unbox, here I come), but I am a very, very happy fan. :-)

Thanks for this awesome review! You speak for me to a T. :-)
Cheers ~

Erin

*hugs* Oh baby. I love Kripke. I love the SPN team. They just know which button to push.

I'm glad we obviously share the same buttons! :)

[daydream03.livejournal.com]

And...omg. DEAN YOU FUCKING MORON! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? But I'm glad you did, because it wouldn't be you if you didn't, and right now you took over my heart, you handsome devil, you.
Ahhh Dean claims another fangirl! Welcome aboard-LOL!
You summed it up PERFECTLY- every word could have been mine! I wanted to post more on my page but since I get to see the show before anyone else I didn't want to spoil it for anyone.
I knew the second Dean started to push Bobby away, my boy was planning on a deal. I wanted to grab him & just shake him. I mentally screamed NO!DEAN!NOO! so intensely I think I permanently broke something in my head. No lie.
THEN
I came sooooooo close to tears watching the scene of Dean talking to Sam. I don't cry & blamed it on my allergies when my daughter looked at me *g*. Just tear my fucking heart out, throw it on the floor & stop it into oblivion.

I got insanely happy when Sam woke up because he's Dean's reason to live. I could have hugged Sam & never let go.

Bobby was to easy on Dean for trading his soul.

Jake was a pawn, plain & simple. We all know that Sam would NEVER open the gate, because he knew, Jake didn't have a clue. Sam would have told the YED to kiss his ass & open it himself. Sam would have been dead either way. Theory- Sam was killed to distract Dean, giving more time for the YED & Jake.

I said "Hi Dad" when John grabbed the YED... the look on his face was priceless. So much was said with out uttering a sylable. Aww hell I even wanted to grab John & not let go either. Since he climbed out of hell, can he get to heaven?

I'm really worried about what Sam's going to try & do to 'save' Dean, which I believe isn't going to happen. I think both the boys are going to go out in a blaze of glory come the end of season 3 & ultimately the series.

This coming season will quite possibly kill me...

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Ahhh Dean claims another fangirl! Welcome aboard-LOL! I've been claimed by the Winchesters from the very start. :) It's just like with Dean it was more a brother/best friend attraction for me, whereas now it's simply a Dean attraction. *pets him*


And *hugs* this show really does emotional stuff to us that are almost...supernatural. Pun intended.

Also? Bobby? I bet he'd have throttled some more but Ellen showed up.

And yeah...i got the bad feeling that it's going to be a three season show. Please let it not be so *keeps fingers crossed*
