That's where I am, too. This isn't the finale I would have written; mine would have been not--I'd have stopped at 15.19--for me, that ending was perfect.

But I can accept this, if I don't think about it too much. If I concentrate on things like the actors' performance, which was note perfect in every way.

Two points you brought up--1.Jenny? The instant after the mimes were revealed as vampires, as the black-clad legs strutted into view, I actually expected Kate, from the same episode, and 2. Wouldn't Dean be in a lot more pain? From someone I know who survived a stabbing, it feels like you've been punched, there's no feeling of penetration, and very little pain, unless you move so that the blade (or spike, whatever) moves inside you and does more damage, or you remove the blade.

I do hope at some point Sam offered Garth or one of the girls the key to the bunker--all that knowledge sealed away when it could be useful rankles, a bit. It hurts to think about Sam grieving through the decades, as you say. And their reunion, while sweet, had a lot of bitter in it.

But it's done, and it wasn't awful. I guess now it's us who'll have to carry on.

[sylsdarkplace]

I agree that 15.19 would have made a better ending.

The performances were amazing -- to the extent that they were performances. With the way that Sam's hands were shaking in that death scene, I'm pretty sure that was Jared right there.

Yes! I hope Sam passed the bunker on to other hunters.

Overall, I am happy with the episode, which I had been dreading. It was okay. I can't decide if I should watch it again or not. I might like it better or worse. LOL

[fufaraw]

I neglected to mention that they used the living room set from Bobby's house, with the stained glass windows flanking the fireplace, above which hung the framed photo of Sam, Dean, John, and Mary taken at the one dinner they all had together. They even kept the red wallpaper--Sam had to scramble (I imagine) maybe even use some of his sources to find replica wallpaper for his own house. Another callback.

[sylsdarkplace]

Good catch! I wasn't watching that closely.

[anniespinkhouse.livejournal.com]

I knew I'd seen that wallpaper and stained glass somewhere!

[meus_venator]

Me too! I remember it but not from where because I thought it was kind of reminiscent of Bobby's place when I saw it.

I'm glad to see others who didn't completely love or totally hate this - I was starting to think I was the only one!

This isn't the finale I would have written; mine would have been not--I'd have stopped at 15.19--for me, that ending was perfect.
SAME. I may be taking a cue from the HP fandom's "epilogue, what epilogue" and saying "finale, what finale" in my head a lot, especially when it comes to writing fanfic.

But I can accept this, if I don't think about it too much. If I concentrate on things like the actors' performance, which was note perfect in every way.
Yeah, they did an incredible job. There was a lot I liked about this in execution, most especially J2's work.

I guess now it's us who'll have to carry on.
Well put. <3

I am certain that Sam did return to the bunker on occasion, when he needed some small thing and Dean Jnr likely has the key and contact with their friends. My headcanon is that Sam did pass knowledge to him, at the very least as a Man of Letters since he did have the tattoo.

[sylsdarkplace]

That’s right! He did! Okay, this is fitting more into my cynical theory that the finale was all set up for a reboot. Somehow, some way, Dean Jr. is going to have to spring his dad and uncle from heaven.

[anniespinkhouse.livejournal.com]

Or time travel back to fix a loose end. The antichrist? Or some such.

[meus_venator]

I don't care as long as they can come back if/when they want to.

[locknkey.livejournal.com]

Yes, that was my take on Dean jr.as well. He's got the tattoo so must have some knowledge of hunting.
