Just watched it.
What. The. Fuck. What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCKERY WAS THAT???
Though I was thinking they were setting up Cas as the bad guy for season 6 all through these last 2 eps, and I have to admit, it's pretty interesting to see Dean's effect on Cas' reasoning techniques and self-justification. And how Dean's inability to trust people when what they are doing goes against his (fairly rigid) morale code. Or personal code. He really has a with-him-or-against-him mentality and he expects others to fall in line and when they don't... it's interesting.
Plus, dubcon up the ying-yang in speculation for next season.
But, but, but, no. What the fuck. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
Is it weird that I'm sad there are no more archangels? I was really hoping Chuck would appear, or Gabriel, or Lucifer, or fuck, Michael. Someone. Anyone. And I found myself really liking Bal at the end. I'm just....I didn't think Cas would go that far down the road. I think Dean's lack of trust in him really shook him. Cas was not made to rule.
OH MY GOD, this didn't happen. I reject this outcome. Season 5 got sidetracked when Lucifer stopped wanting the apocalypse, Gabriel never died, Dean and Cas are forever soulmates, Bobby and Crowley play chess and Bal can smooze up lounge singers. This is just a bad AU dream.
Team Free Love. Dude. Where is the love? WHERE IS THE LOVE?
I did like Jensen's acting, like whoa, in the whole scene with Lisa and Ben in the hospital and then Sam in the car. I'm glad Sam was angry about it, because he would be. I love the tears in the eyes thing. He looked really torn up. I'm not sure how I feel about the development, but I liked the acting and execution.
I really actually liked a lot of the camera work and shots. But I wish they'd showed the mental trauma of Sam being in Hell through more than what they did. I thought Jared did really well as hell!Sam, but the flailing? Holding his head? Pfft. He was taking in full sentences and apparently, driving a car? Where was the fugue states? The rambling? The tics? I was expecting more River-ish movements. But I guess that's what fic is for.
Fic is for fixing. Fix it, fandom. Now. Seriously. This didn't happen.
Cas was pulling a lot of Lucifer vibes. Far creepier too, in some ways. Marksha's so good at the bad guy, Cas just feels....wrong. It all felt wrong. Maybe because Lucifer was so tied up in Michael? That he didn't want to set himself up as God, he just really hated humans and was told/forced/wanted? to fight his brother. Cas at the moment has no equal.
It was wrong, and gah gah gah, didn't happen.
I loved Dean at the end. Reasonable Dean. Oh Dean, I wish you weren't so freaking hardheaded. I do sort of love you again, though. Finally.
