And Jeremy Carver is taking over the show, a man who has a history of taking such opportunities to the next level with his writing and understanding the characters and the story. So I am hoping that the does take advantage of this opportunity and give us something epic.
I was always looking at the last few episodes of this season as nothing more than the set-up for season 8. And the only fear I had was that things would be too fucked up in the end. Or that Cas would be lost entirely. None of this has happened. Sera left Jeremy this amazing sand box to play with, and I that's all I was asking for. So while I may not be too impressed by the episode, I'm very content with where the show is right now.
It's a strange feeling to go into the hiatus feeling okay, even optimistic. I'm not entirely sure what to do with myself now, you sort of get used to the pain. But it's nice.
I really hope that Jeremy will in some way address Castiel losing his family. But he has always portrayed the angels as characters in their own right. So I'm very optimistic there too. I think there was a purpose too behind having the line that some of them might be in hiding. I think we may see some of them next year, and I belive that they will get the treatment they deserve.
Like with depression: "nobody cares that you're sad just stop being such a downer for everyone else!" It's not helping, it's more damaging than people think and that's precisely what Dean is doing.
YES! This! I know that Dean is broken too. But there are lines that you simply do not cross, and Dean has crossed them several times by now.
As a whole, what I got from the finale was: things are still fucked up, not everything is going to be magically resolved, but they are heading in the right direction and with Carver next season I'm hoping for them to move forward.
If they weren't fucked up at all anymore, there wouldn't be anything left to tell. I finally feel like they are fucked up in a way that can be fixed, though, eventually. And I have so much hope that we will finally start working through all these issues next season. And as painful as that will be, it's something to look forward too.
