I'd love to think that (though it would make more sense in some ways if it were because Cas is inaccessible so whatever he did snaps back), but I really don't think they'll bring back hell trauma Sam. or alcoholic/suicidal Dean. Those were Gamble's, and they were out when she was out. We might get Carver style crazy-to-rescue-Dean Sam, though, and he's also a good thing.

But they've been downplaying blatant Sam and Dean emotion so hard that I find bringing back stone one utterly unimaginable at this point.

*insert Evol Singer conspiracies here*

what? so the show runners ship cas/dean instead of Sam/Dean? As my boy is so fond of saying lately, 'who ordered a poopoo platter?'

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

I don't think that -- it wasn't like the Cas/Dean was particularly emo, either. The vibe I'm getting is more that the show is backing away for the moment from the whole relationship melodrama for anyone, and going into more of an action mode. Carver might well change that up.

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

I want you to write all the fic of this.

Seriously, Obi Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope. I want emo messed up Sam and Dean fic with ALL THE FEELS. I want it with slightly crazy Sam. And sex. And I know it doesn't fit your current verse, but I kind of want Sam to bottom.

NOT THAT I AM DEMANDING OR ANYTHING. JUST GO BE MY FIC SLAVE.

[checkthemargins.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't you worry. I am already on it. Plots forming in my brainz already. And I can get Sam to bottom, totes. I'm all over that. I can even do it kind of angstily, which is my thing.

In fact, Sam might get pretty effed up in order to tear open Purgatory by brute force and get his brother back. He'll need lots of bandaids.

[fourtenpm.livejournal.com]

They don't have the budget for action! Unless they got more from the network? And they are gonna do frigging MotW in frigging purgatory?

Man, I am all nerves, I wanna laugh for no reason, and I wanna smash things. I am getting into the conspiracy theory too!

SUPERNATURAL IS STUPID!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

I totally get you, here. I'll keep watching, but man. They've gotta bring back character growth and some damn connection.

[cassiopeia7.livejournal.com]

But Sam (eventually) gets to rescue Dean, though. Surely that's a good thing?

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

I think they're in a holding pattern on character and emotion arcs in the interregnum between showrunners. Which in a backwards way gives me hope, because I liked the Gamble era and I like Carver's eps, I just feel like they've ended up with a gap between them. And the plot set up is rife with emotion, so it's not like people can't write ALL THE FIC.

[kazminka.livejournal.com]

I just feel like we're right back at the end of S3 where Dean's stuck somewhere and Sam's gonna go on a massive rampage to get him back. And I'm worried we're gonna end up with S4 Sam back and demon deals being made and what not and we've been there and done that, you know? I love a rampaging Sam who's gonna rip shit up until he gets his brother back but it's been done. Plus how long can they really keep them apart with Dean in Purgatory like that? It's gonna get real boring real quick if we have to watch him run around getting chased by red-eyed monsters because what else is really going on in Purgatory. And WTF was that with Cas at the end???

hahaha...apparently I had more feelings about this ep than I thought I did. Sorry for spewing this all over your journal :D

*Joins you in Evol Singer conspiracy club*

I believe he was also responsible for the Year That Wasn't between S5 & S6.

It really does feel like there was a whole lot of stuff set up to happen this season, and then it didn't.

I am so angry right now that someone inadvertently spoiled me about the purgatory end because I was expecting it all the way through the finale and couldn't enjoy ANY of it.

I hate the boys being separated but I am cautiously hopeful. As you say, they boys have been together all season and there's been so little emotion that maybe separating them will generate some at long last. I also love the desperate do anything to get Dean back version of Sam, so I'm hoping we'll see him back too.

Meh, I don't know, I'm still too pissed off about being spoiled to have any real thoughts.

[glovered.livejournal.com]

Aw, really? This means they will spend forever trying to get back to each other, and there will be longing and desperation, and maybe weird run-ins with past monsters! And Sam talking to people, but missing his brother. IDK why but I'm really happy about this.

[secretlytodream.livejournal.com]

As much as I don't want to, but I think I'll have t agree with you here :( Out of ALL SPN finales, that's the worst :\

[petite-madame.livejournal.com]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, SHOW?
Bad quality? Awful plot (when there is one)? Brothers being dumb and needed to be explained everything by secondary characters? Brothers NOT being together most of the time? Pacing, what pacing? Too many fillers and practically zero mythology? Emotions (what is that again)? AHgHHHHhHhHhHHHHH!!!!

And I don't want to talk about the production design and the photography. It's filmed like a bad episode of Angel! I miss the greenish tones of the first seasons.

[obstinatrix.livejournal.com]

CLEARLYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

/O\

AUUUUUUUUUUUUURGH IT IS EVERYTHING WE TALKED ABOUT AS BEING THE WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME.

[obstinatrix.livejournal.com]

:/ I guess? But, you know, this all just feels like a rerun of the S3 finale but without any of the emotion.

[obstinatrix.livejournal.com]

Word. I mean, it might be cool if they had the budget to really do Purgatory, but they don't! They just don't. Purgatory is going to be a forest in Vancouver, which will probably be the forest from Wendigo and we'll all be unable to take it seriously. Calling it now.

[obstinatrix.livejournal.com]

DDDDDD:

[obstinatrix.livejournal.com]

D: I had been kind of spoiled, in that I had seen speculation that this was what might happen, and then checkthemargins and I wailed and rended our garments about it but I thought it was spec with no actual source. And then BAM, no, worst nightmare. Gnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnargh.

All my eggs are currently in the basket of 'last time Carver showed us Sam-without-Dean he wrote the greatest episode of all time', but I don't know how hopeful I am.

[obstinatrix.livejournal.com]

Having had a night to think about it, I think I could be okay with this, but it will absolutely depend on how long they're apart for, how well they do it, and whether I actually feel any connection to it at all.

[obstinatrix.livejournal.com]

Siiiiiiiiiiigh. Yep.

[obstinatrix.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. And the thing is, I might be able to forgive it more if it looked good. It used to be a beautiful show when it wanted to be, and recently it's all just looked like a school play as shakily filmed by someone's dad. All the sets are horrible, the direction is clunky (lots of people just...standing around) and just. I miss the days when it had this beautiful ode-to-America vibe, all wide outdoor shots and sky.
