Thanks as always to the usual suspects _sharvie_ for her awesome beta skills and to maichan808 for her valuable feedback. Thanks so much ladies! *hugs* Also special *smishes* to secretlytodream for being plain awesome!

Vid notes:

Even though I have had limited vidding time it doesn't feel right if I'm not tinkering with something. I've had this song sitting in my "possibilities" folder for a long time now. I wanted to make some sort of apocalyptic vid and it wasn't until the episode "The End" aired that I was able to get the footage I wanted.

Therefore this vid is somewhat self indulgent. I adored the way they filmed the shooting down of the zombies (more cinematic than telematic), so I just had to play with it. Then of course I had to indulge myself with these lyrics:

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only the friend the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes.. again.

Of course, I know SPN won't end this way (mainly because they have already given this to us), but I do love the idea that this is how it is supposed to end - no matter what they do. And yes, I can't wait to see what they do do to escape this outcome...

It's a simple little vidlet, but comments are still warmly received. :)

Came across this from spn_the_end, and my only (tiny) criticism is that it's not longer. ;)

"The End" is my favourite song by The Doors, is one of my favourite songs period, and ever since I saw 5.04 it's been running on loop in my head. If I had any talent for/knowledge of vidding, I would have tried my hand at it, and I'm really, really happy that someone else was thinking along the same lines.

The scene in which the army types mow down the infected victims was gorgeous and cinematic and very reminiscent of "Apocalypse Now," (which is another part of my obsession with the song), and you really captured the atmosphere. Especially loved the first few seconds of this vid, focussing in on the helicopter.

Thank you. :)

Hi there. Thanks so much for popping in. And you know, I would like to have made it a bit longer but I really wanted to end on that particular lyric... so it had to end there. :)

I really glad this worked for you - the whole idea behind that opening sequence was as a shout out to Apocalypse Now. That opening scene might be one of my all time fav of SPN (Cinematically), so I was eager to play with it.

Thanks again for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. :)

Okay, after an unforgivably long time I actually got around to your master list, and "500 miles" made me giggle and tear up, and I have come to the conclusion that you are awesome and made of win, and may I friend you? :)

(Holy run-on sentence of *doom*, Batman!)
