Guys unfortunately I have just learned I put way to much energy into being a sexy prince of darkness, flirty lush of a vampire cause it turns out I can delight my boyfriend just by saying

“I think I might lay on my tummy.”🥺

On episode 6x22 of Supernatural

a.k.a. the season 6 final.

Holy shit. I honestly don’t know how to feel about this episode. I don’t know where to start. What a shitshow. I was sat at the edge of my seat the whole way through.

Ok, I guess the beginning is as good as any place to begin. Sam wakes up and can’t remember anything. They actually had me fooled for a while, since it’s been so long since the first time i watched this season. But I’m always here for some inner story in the mind and in dreams. I’ve always liked how SPN does this. Our minds are twisted things.

The wall was meant as a protection against the trauma from Hell (and soulless!Sam), and in this ep, we see that represented as three seperate entities carrying different memories. I especially liked the scene with hell!Sam. I was surprised to find myself agreeing with hell!Sam, as he begged Sam to turn around and leave. I felt like Sam was underestimating the impact the memories from Hell would have on him. Or maybe he didn’t. It’s definitely in-character for him to disregard his own wellbeing in favour of other’s, in this case Dean and Bobby. Either way, it’s an interesting moment for his character.

As for the rest of the episode, Dean and Bobby didn’t really play the main roles. This part was still mostly Castiel’s. And oh boy. It was grusome. He has fallen completely of the rails, and the Cas we all know and love is all but gone. This Cas embodies more of the Cas we see in early S4, the soldier, fighting for what he believes is right without much deep reflection willing to do whatever it takes. Difference, now he’s his own boss. And the whole, “humans and demons are below me”.

I theorised before that Cas was in over is head with Crowley, and that having a plan and directions to follow was easier for him, and I still believe that. I just also believe Cas went out of his way to sever that connection in the end. He betrays Crowley in a heart beat; even the king of hell is just a lowly demon.

(Sidenote, Mark Sheppard is brilliant in this episode. I love Crowley so much, and in this episode, we really saw Crowley at his best (or worst, depending on how you see it). Snide comments, snark, calm and collected in the face of death, and with a survival instinct few can match. I like the parallel to s5 when Crowley went to S and D because he thought they were his best bet on surviving the apocolypse, except this time it was Raphael being his best bet on surviving Castiel.)

Then there is the final scene between Dean and Cas. This was horrible to watch. I want to say that this is completely out of character for Cas, but honestly, I think this is a side of Cas that has always been there (well, to some degree – some of it is def feuled by the souls). Cas still thinks he’s doing the right thing, and that is a powerful thing. I think it still hurts him that Dean didn’t have his back, and that this is partly a reaction to that. As in seen in the end, Cas tries to force them to support him. And when they don’t-- well.

But I stand by what I said last time: this is a good season. Excited to continue on the next one. It’s been so many years, I almost feel like I’m watching it all fr the first time!
