9.23 reaction

I had a huge reaction post written out but decided it was far too negative and started to make me cry so I decided not to post it.

I will say that I didn't mind watching the episode (made all the better because I had zebra363 with me) but in all honesty it left me feeling pretty much nothing. Empty. Blank. Perhaps a bit annoyed, frustrated and sad.

I love these characters too much to see them wasted like this. To have them at odds all season just so we can have "near" apology scenes and confessions of "I lied". :(

For a whole season to mean absolutely nothing. To have gone absolutely no where. *sobs* (and not the good *sobs* - only S8 and S9 have reduced me to tears over loss of the show I fell in love with).

I need more time to process. I'm sure I will shake these blues away and find something salvageable here.

Though I'm thinking until Carver leaves I'll never see the Sam and Dean I grew to love.

I'd say they've already created their spin off. We watched it this season.

(PS: please, if you loved it and want to squee please feel free. I need to know it's worth hanging on to. I need to know that this is just all part of a plan to build this show back to something we recognise. I need to know that they didn't make Sam say important stuff only to have it completely and utterly ignored for a reason. I need to know that this hasn't just become the worst, predictable, most boring, fan servicing pile of... )

I honestly have to say that I thought this finale basically lived up to this season. It was pretty "meh" to me. That said, I did like the brother moments. It did feel kinda flat to me though, and I don't know if it's because I read all the spoilers that the boys slipped in at Upfronts (Jensen mentioning Jared crying on his shoulder, the whole "eye opener" teaser, etc.). But it wasn't anything I wasn't really expecting, I guess. I did gasp when Metatron stabbed Dean, but that was about it. And I really felt for Sam at the end when he carried Dean back, was staring at him on the bed and was sitting in the dark, drinking.

I couldn't wait for Metatron to shut up, and I honestly wish they'd killed him but they just stuck him in jail (and I wouldn't doubt they'd cook up something to have him escape).

Even though I've become pretty disenchanted with the show this season, I will keep watching because I'm still pretty invested in it. I'm not ready to say goodbye to the boys yet, definitely. I'll just be a little more emotionally detached as I watch and keep my expectations really low.

Hey!

Yeah - a *meh* finale to match much of the *meh* this season.

I gasped at the stabbing as well. I wasn't prepared for Metatron to be the one to do the stabbing. I DID hope then that it was going to be Sam, but alas. That didn't happen either.

Such a shame he's still alive. No doubt he'll escape and we'll have to hear more of his waffle.

I'll keep watching too. Well, definitely the first few episodes. I am keen to see which direction they head in. Maybe we'll also see from more from Sam next season. We can but hope.
