The Fandom still hasn't gotten it - a brief blub on Supernatural 15x20, "Carry On"

[trystan830]

it's been two weeks. i'm fine now. i laughed, i cried, i'm surprised i have tv show that lasted 15 seasons, that's for sure. only a few of my shows made it to 6, 7 or 8 seasons. but 15 is amazing. and a very awesome shout-out and thanks to EVERYONE who ever worked on the show in front of the camera or behind it

I think that (similar to other big fandoms ((ie Trek, Wars, MCU, etc))) there are "fans" and then there are the folks who actually watch the show.

For example, I feel like the "fans" are the ones all complaining about 'why this' and 'why that'?, whereas the dumb schmoes who just watch the show actually understood that there was what was meant and what was got.

Personally, I thought it was perfect.
Did I like every bit of it: Hell No. I wanted another 15 seasons, damnit
Am I satisfied with how it ended: Absolutely.
Do I still have questions: Oh so many.

Sometimes I really think "the fans" give the fandom the bad name...

then add me in with the dumb schmoes! XD

oh i agree, it was a right ending.

did i want a different one? of course i did. i wanted it to end like this:
*they finish a job and head out the the car*
*phone rings*
*one of them answers*
"We'll be right there."
*open trunk, view is from in the trunk looking back at them, they toss in weapons.*
"C'mon, we've got work to do."
*trunk closes, cut to black, roll credits.*

but i'm not the writer, so i'm good with what we got.

[erinm_4600]

Perfect alternate ending, that.

I just need to know that one or two key characters are alive and well, and I'd be good. whoever green-lit that old-Sam makeup should be fired, though. Oh, wait...

[trystan830]

thanks. that's always been my ending.

LOL!! XD

who do you want to know about? (not that i know anything, but i could make something up?)

I wasn't angry about the limits placed on them by the pandemic, but I'd forgotten about it when I first watched so I was puzzled about why the limited number of actors used until I was reminded they did it under the pandemic. Once I understood, I appreciated that they did the best they could under the circumstances.

[trystan830]

yeah, i actually had to remind myself with episode 5x19 that it was filmed so much later than 5x18 was.

Once I understood, I appreciated that they did the best they could under the circumstances.
^this, totally.

I was disappointed we didn't see more people--but at least I understood why!

[trystan830]

yep yep!

once i saw how it was going to unfold, yeah, i would have liked to see lots of people there too. but yeah.

[moondropz]

It's calmed down a little now on twitter? But there are so many bitter people who wanted closure on seeing more people there(duh, it's a pandemic), and that Dean died-and it wasn't fair or right. Now granted I felt upset and still do over Dean's death? But I'm not taking it out on the writers or producers! These *fans* are so hateful! It's so ugly on twitter still. Toxic. I am not sure they were ever really fans. Now I'll catch hell for saying that, but whatever.

[trystan830]

nothing ever calms down on twitter! XD

These *fans* are so hateful! ..... I am not sure they were ever really fans.
nah, you won't catch hell for that in my journal. there's been toxic fans since day 1, remember? "No girl is going to ride in my Impala

[moondropz]

Truth!!!
I agree on the hateful fans. Since day one they have always wanted the writers to follow their own agenda. When it didn't happen they became? They lost their sh*t. Whatever. Pfft. But I have some very good friwends in Twitter. So I make a pass by when I have the time. It's also how I know when they lose it over stupid crap. LOL.
Yes, we've been friends for about 15 years now. I know right?!!! *G* I remember that verse! I enjoyed reading it! Pissy can just suck it. You do whatever makes you happy! And to hell with the haters! Yes, this!!!!
*HUGS*

[trystan830]

wow, 15 years!?! me and Bodge too, actually :D

You do whatever makes you happy! And to hell with the haters!
always! completely agree! :D

[marissaangell]

Okay so

[trystan830]

i've been with Supernatural since the beginning. i got hooked several episodes into season 1, and have been with it all the way to the end. i have the DVDs (that i'm not very actively wanting to sell (seasons 2-11 (minus 9)) and i love everything there is to love about the show - even the plot XD

but yeah, the FEELS are real. {{hugs}}

[marissaangell]

well then you got lucky. i was there at the beginning but my tech challenged life made me miss a whole decade so i'm back at the square one lol.
but i don't regret, it's made me more of a person i know i won't hate in the future bc i know what a challenge means and believe those are there for a reason

I'm having soooooooo much FEEEEEEELSSSSSS ijdk

[trystan830]

well.....if you're able to (a) pay shipping and a few dollars per and (b) have a DVR that'll play them, i'm selling my seasons 2-8, 10... and 11 on blu-ray?

(i've decided i really only want seasons 1 and 15)

if not, i totally understand.
