This song is calling to me...

[ash48]

Actually, this song has been on my vidding list for a while. I imagined it for Sam once, but now it's definitely speaks Dean. I don't know what's going to happen in the finale but if the thing I think might happen then this song would be even more perfect.

Only problem is it's incredibly long (and even with trimming it would be long) and very dark. But with those chorus lyrics...*thud*. The tone of this song also fits how my heart is feeling about the show atm. There's a darkness that's grating but with an underlying desperation and passion. And wincest too (my hubby pointed this song out to me a few years ago and said - I think these lyrics will suit your show. Hee...and he doesn't even watch it).

And thanks for chatting to me about the last episode. <3 I am mindful of being ranty due to frustration - being negative isn't exactly fun. I'm not sure whether to feel comforted that many felt the same way or sad that many did. With news that this season is the highest rating one in 4 years means they'll probably stick to what's working for them. Angels and demons and brothers at constant odds might actually be a drawcard. We'll see. By all accounts the finale is meant to be pretty big so...yay?

I think any song that calls to you is one that should be made. Great song, perfect for a dark and angry vid, about where everyone is right now. Long vids though can be hard, I know I'm very unlikely to tackle anything over 2 - 3 minutes these days, but you have a huge amount of source and maybe once you started laying down clips and getting a story and a theme going, you never know, don't let the length put you off, trim where you can and I think you'd be fine.

And season 11? Really? I honestly don't know about that, a lot depends on this season ender and a lot depends on how they handle the hornets nest they poked with a huge stick at the beginning of season 8 getting some logical resolution next week, I know them announcing a different direction would add to my interest, I'm mightily sick of the angels and demons and yet I still want to love this show, I've loved it for so long it's hard to let it go, but if this formula is making the ratings, I don't see much chance in getting out from the Heaven and Hell wars and the Winchesters bit part players in their own show.

Honestly I think they've picked up so many new fans with Tumblr style attention spans, those of us left who relished the beginnings and depth of emotion that resonated for us in the show are mere drops in the ocean.

Maybe, I can watch show but withdraw attachment and wallow in the older parts of fandom? Might work for me better.

Long vids are very hard and I haven't made one that would be like this one in ages. I'm not usually in favour of vids over about 3mins because I think it's hard to keep a story or a theme going for that long. Maybe I'll break it down into sections and it won't seem so daunting. Or something.

And yes, S11 would be quite a thing and I'm not sure how well they could pull that off. I am assuming it will be S10 that will tie off many of the wound/storylines that have been opened since S8 so maybe S11 will be something new once again.

I was watching an earlier episode yesterday - Bloodlust I think - and noticed the time they took in allowing a scene to play out and get those real depths of emotion. I do think they've lost that touch, but maybe, so you say, that's what the audiences are wanting now.

It's something I'm hoping to be able to do. I suppose a lot will depend on this finale and where it picks up in S10. I'm hoping to still love it, but maybe all good things do come to an end.

I've lost hope in getting what we've lost back - the engaging serious and scary stories, lightened by situational humour, just aren't in this show any longer. I'd watch though until the end, even with the sluggish plots, the retro fitting of canon and the dire angel wars IF only I could like the Winchesters again, felt drawn to their plight, could worry about them, sadly that's what I'm missing most, even their most intense scenes these days feel flat and engineered to a formula and I feel I can see right through it and it sucks all the emotion out.

Anyway, we have a season finale and a whole hiatus to get through yet, hopefully it won't be one full of hate for one brother or the other and fandom will settle into anticipation for next year. *fingers crossed*
