re: "I'm proud of us" in 9x23 vs "I'm proud of you" in 15x20

Jensen: In fifteen, Dean knew he was hanging it up. He was gonna hang it up, and he needed [Sam] to continue. But not continue to find a way to get him back, none of that. So he needed-- Dean needed Sam to understand uh, how proud of him he was in a way of like-- it was an "I love you and I always will but I gotta go now." Whereas, I don't think in nine Dean was ready to go. He was like, I didn't-- yknow, up to this point, let's see where we go from here, but up to this point, if this is the end, then I'm really proud of what we've done. But then it was like, "no this is the end for me. And don't try to save me. Cause I'm-- I'm tired. And I'm ready to go. But I need you to know something. And that is that I'm proud of you."

i have seen every and all episodes of supernatural except for one - the very last one. i have never watched 15x20 ever because back when it aired, i heard spoilers about what happens and i thought to myself "if i don't watch it, it doesn't happen"

till this day it has not happened. and i'm glad about it whenever i read a post about that damned last episode. but i will always be wondering about it. maybe... one day... i'll watch it. just maybe.

I can’t do this alone

I don’t want to do this alone.

Congratulations to Destielers for 15x18 and Wincesties for 15x20 🎉

I’d love to congratulate us Sastielers but the writers didn’t even let Sam have his gay goodbye with Castiel *sob*

breaking news: jared shares information about a lost spn episode that never aired

[ananke-xiii]

thinking about how sam got chuck's ending: grow old, get sick and just die, which, ofc, is very much something pertaining to humanity rather than divinity and that is the whole point of it. but it's also the ending of the show's super-supervillain that we don't see but we see sam's. and they're (allegedly) the same. i don't know how i feel about this.like

[eighth-heroine]

finally finished supernatural….. i was crying the whole way through episodes 17-20 ESPECIALLY 20 dude it should’ve ended with 19 😔 that was a more climactic episode than 20, i feel like 20 was more for the emotional aspect than the story aspect

(spoilers under cut)

everything about dean’s death and how sam dealt with it i was sobbing

like how the dog was following him around bc he didn’t know where dean was PLSSS the way dean’s room was exactly how it showed him fucking it up that morning PLS good lord i cannot

the single toast…. the way sam jumped at the toaster…. the way he had to bring miracle on a hunt bc there was nobody there to take care of him…. the way he turned off all the lights bc nobody was there…

also got me wondering if he ever went back to the bunker at all bc it never showed him there after that but i assume he moved his stuff out and cleaned dean’s room? i mean obviously he moved into a house but if he stopped hunting then did he need to clean out the MoL lore stuff?? would he bring those books anyway because he likes reading?? did he stop hunting altogether once his kid was born?

so many unanswered questions tbh more than if it had just ended at episode 19

I rewrote the ending montage of 15x20 so that everything is almost the same but also, I think, a lot better -

...

DEAN: Enters Heaven. Finds Bobby outside of the Roadhouse. Has their conversation. Bobby points him towards the Impala, which is waiting for him on the road. Dean stands.

...

SAM: We see Sam standing next to a burning pyre; the wrapped body burning on it can only be Dean. As he stands in shocked silence, the first notes of "Carry On My Wayward Son" start to play. The song continues, a montage, as we watch what happens next.

...

SAM: Grieving Dean. He looks around the bunker. It's empty; no Cas, no Jack, and now no Dean. Sam decides that he refuses to isolate himself anymore. He packs his things and leaves. He gives the bunker one final look before closing the door. The bunker lights goes dark behind him. He'll pass the key on to someone else.

...

DEAN: He walks away from Bobby and the Roadhouse towards the Impala. Runs his hand over the black finish as he walks slowly to the driver's door. He opens it and gets in. He's in Heaven now, and he's supposed to rest; but he didn't want to die, and he's not ready to stop living- changing- growing. He starts the car and drives. He has a lot to think about.

...

SAM: He knocks on a house's front door. He looks nervous; he's holding all of his personal effects in the bag on his shoulder. Everything he wanted to keep of Dean's, Cas's and Jack's is in the trunk of the Impala. When the door opens, Eileen is on the other side. They look at each other, both silent. Their expressions are of unbearable sadness and infathomable hope. After a moment, they embrace. Both are crying.

...

DEAN: He's been driving for a long time. He doesn't know if it's been moments or years. The scenery shifts from mountains, to boundless fields of yellow grass, to dense and lively forest, to a desert, to an ocean cliffside. He's been thinking; thinking about what he wants. What he thinks he deserves.

...

SAM: We see Sam and Eileen host a dinner party with Donna, Jody and the girls. We see Garth visiting with Bess and their kids. Sam and Eileen look happy. There are photos of everyone they've ever loved hanging on the walls throughout their home.

...

DEAN: The Impala rumbles to a stop on a bridge overpassing a mountain stream. Dean gets out of the car and walks to the rail to gaze out over the flowing water. He hopes that Sam is doing well without him, but Sam's happiness isn't Dean's priority anymore. Dean wants his own happiness. He's had time to think, and he's ready to go find something of his own, something he wants for himself. He can't be alive anymore, but that doesn't have to mean his journey is over. Thing is, he doesn't want to travel it alone.

...

SAM: Sam and Eileen have a baby. We watch as they raise it. The baby grows from an infant to a young boy. Sam smiles with fondness and sadness at a framed photo of himself, Dean, and Bobby sitting on the hood of the Impala while he carries his son to his bedroom. When Sam tucks the little boy into bed, we see that the child's personalized headboard reads "DEAN". We can assume that Sam is going to live a long, happy life.

[The last notes of "Carry On" plays as the camera rises, panning up and away from Sam and Dean Jr., before returning to Heaven; to Dean. There is no music anymore, just the ambient sounds of the rushing stream and the forest.]

DEAN: The camera is on Dean in profile. He's still looking out over the water, arms braced against the railing. He looks content, and a little determined, but not fulfilled. It's not over, yet.

Suddenly, though we hear nothing, Dean seems to sense a new presence behind him. He straightens, and a knowing expression crosses his face. The camera pans to follow Dean as he turns around. There, in the middle of the bridge, standing next to the Impala, is Castiel.

Castiel gazes at Dean with a warm, soft smile, and even softer eyes. He's been waiting a long time to see Dean Winchester again, but the wait was worth every single moment. Dean is every bit as beautiful as Castiel remembers.

CAS: "Hello, Dean."

The camera is back on Dean, showing his head and shoulders with face centered in shot. He stares past the camera at Cas for a moment, eyes filling with wonder, before a broad smile breaks across his face. He looks to be overflowing with love. This might be the happiest we have ever seen him.

almost certainly a mistake but ive decided this is the 'no skipping' watchthrough . not bugs, not the truck one, not the damn dog one. experiencing every single one of these godforsaken episodes with my own eyes

[viktorbf]

jacks goodbye speech wouldve hit so hard if the entire episode hadnt been dog shit

[liamgallaghermpreg]

.

[jensensitive]

it's really hard to pick a worst thing about the finale but definitely up there is how the idea that Dean's love of cas was just Chuck's influence would be an entirely valid reading of it

[waterlilyvioletfog]

I don’t rank season finales by how good they are I rank them by how likely I am to rewatch them.

S3 Dean dies, Lilith is perfect

S13 Poorly directed but I enjoy myself. This was the first finale I watched live so I’m biased.

S2 Sad monologue sad hugs and Dean killing Yellow Eyes is perfect. RIP Jake I’m sorry you got put on White Serial Killers With Daddy Issues Show

S5 Lot of like. Weight? To this episode? I find it comfy.

S9 Dean dies, Metatron is perfect

S1 Terrible Time With Family!

S7 Dick’s shit gets wrecked it’s a fun time

S12 Mary punches Lucifer no notes chief

S11 Again, I’m just enjoying myself

S4 Mostly just me flapping my arms in alternating distress and excitement

S14 The first act or so is hilarious and I loved the whole thing my first time through it’s ranked low bc of retrospect

S10 Mostly dumb but I appreciate this for Death-Dean purposes

S8 I will be honest I skimmed through this ep the first time through and I’m sadly uninterested in watching it in full. I am aware that it’s great. I’m just not gonna rewatch it.

S6 I skip the ending of s6 after tmwwbk every time I rewatch bc I’m a coward.

S15 I don’t need to explain this.

i think i might scrub down my kitchen, make a bowl of popcorn and start my newest oddball idea for a spn episode run of opener/finale only for every season.

[chrispineofficial]

i always think i can get through 5x10 abandon all hope with my shit together and i’m always wrong

[cherubcircus]
