10 Seasons...I've given you 10 seasons!

Sometimes I wonder if a show has gone on for too long.  While I NEVER want to say goodbye to my fav characters, there has to be a point where we let go.  Go out with a bang...end on a high note...SOMETHING!

Now granted it isn't the last season, we have confirmation of Season 11 (HOLY CRAP!) and I am happy for that, truly I am.  But because I love these stupid, cheesy characters so much maybe this should be the end...I mean how many times can you overcome the end of the world/evil/each other?!?

If you haven't figured it out I am talking about Supernatural.  Yes I know its silly, yes I know it is tweeny, yes I know its cheesy...no I don't care.  I started watching it around Season 3 or 4.  Then I went back and watched 1 - 3 on TNT reruns (and later on Netflix).  I honestly came across it purely by accident.  After the insanity with splitting Angel and Buffy onto different networks, I really didn't watch much else on the CW (except Smallville).  Wasn't it like the WB before...  Whatever, one day I was home sick and turned on TNT (I think), I watched maybe 5 hours of this crazy (sometimes VERY scary) show about two (attractive) brothers who fight evil.  I was immediately hooked.  I set my (HOMEMADE) DVR to record all the new shows after that.  And its been a wild ride ever since.

**SPOILERS for the Season 10 Finale**

Which brings me to the other night.  It was the Season 10 finale and all I have to say is WTF man?!?  Season 10 has been brain melting so say the least.  Yes I am used to losing fav characters but they effing killed Charlie!  Why?!?!  Was it really necessary to kill her off?!?  Maybe I just have a bit of a girl crush on Felicia Day but still *le sigh*.


Moving on.  Dean is still suffering with the Mark of Cain and REALLY pissed at Sam (and Cas) for lying while trying the help him remove it by bargaining with Rowena who is pretty bat$hit...really can't trust that B...oh and because of the trying to get the mark off, gets Charlie killed...Dean not happy.  So we start off with Dean working a case alone (wonderful).  Sam is still "I will stop at NOTHING to save my bro" and Cas is all "Sam this is a bad idea".  The Mark has Dean 10 kinds of not caring when he "accidentally" (totally not an accident) gets his "partner" (another hunter killed).  He realizes "oh $hit I am losing control" and drops off the map.  Sam goes to find him leaving a very concerned/confused Cas to finish the spell with Rowena.  Which by the way entails finding the forbidden fruit, the golden calf and someone Rowena "loves"...she doesn't love anyone...WTH!?!
I sense sarcasm
Cas then enlists the help of Crowley...can I just say I love Crowley!  He is one of my favs because he is evil but he still has some sort of conscience...and he is flipping hilarious.  All hail the King of Hell.  Now he hates his mum but he is willing to help Cas because although he wont admit it he has a soft spot for the Winchesters (and Cas too I think).
Crowley: "Who summons any more? Couldn't you call?" 
Castiel: "You're not in my contacts list."
Me: *snorting with laughter* Best exchange EVER!


So everything goes sideways (of f**king course).  Dean decides he needs to just die so he summons Death.  I also love Death.  I sound mental but he is a great side character!  Dean says "kill me", Death says "sorry boo, no can do.  The Mark will not allow it."  Plus apparently removing The Mark (and not passing it on) releases some big bad evil into the world called The Darkness which was only defeated before by God and ALL of the Archangels (dammit, half of them are "dead")...you know the whole "let there be light and there was" thing.  Cue Sam somehow finding them (after he finds the HEART WRENCHING note that says "She's all yours" with the keys to Baby *gross sobbing*).  Wait did Dean call him...too much happened. 
So we find out that its not Dean's death that needs to happen (because it really can't) but it is Sam's Death (WTF...no no no no no) because he will NEVER stop trying to save his big bro (oh for crying out loud!)













Now we are at the point where Sam gives a teary speech after getting his @$$ kicked by Dean. No really, it was really great and when he shows Dean the pics of them as kids with their Mom, so good.  And honestly Mr. Padalecki gave a wonderful performance.  So Dean is all "close your eyes Sammy"...holy $hit he is really going to kill him!  And he swings...and f**king kills Death!
Dammit Dean, you can't just go around killing DEATH...didn't you see that Family Guy where no one can die because Death has a sprained ankle!?!?!?  It didn't end well!  Suddenly things start happening...we flash over to the Scooby Gang  and they have found all the damn ingredients (including someone bat$hit loves) and they completed the spell.  Sam...why didn't you call to stop them?!?!  Or tell Dean what they were doing after you found out what would be released into the world?!?!  Oh right, because you wanted to save your brother...AT ANY COST!








So the spell works The Mark is removed...yay...maybe...probably not.  Then all hell breaks loose...quite literally.  OMG y'all caused the apocalypse...AGAIN!  Lightening is striking all around and WTF, smoke streamers come shooting out of the ground.  I swear to G, I said "Smokey!!!!" In reference to the still unexplained smoke monster from Lost.
Wait for it...waaaaait for it....


The boys run to Baby and in the midst of backing up get stuck in a pot hole!  Are you kidding me?!?!  They fight EVIL and their downfall will be an unmaintained parking lot?!?!  Flash back to the Scooby Gang, Rowena isn't NEARLY as helpless as she made herself out to be.  She freezes Crowley and Cas.  Crowley says something about her not being strong enough and she's like, really?!?  Then  Cas looks down or up...can't remember and his eyes are blood-shot, red, bleeding and he looks primal.  Crowley is still "stuck"...Uh oh!  Cas pulls out his Angel Blade ($hit $hit $hit!) and we flash back over to the Winchesters.  What...what...WHAT?!?!  Did you just f**king kill Crowley!?!? Dammit writers, this is why we can't have nice things!









So the boys are STUCK in a pot hole with this wall of Darkness heading there way.  Sam is yelling "Dean!" which is obviously going to get them "unstuck" while Dean is panicking, flooring the gas pedal. The way the scene is shot I swear I was like "It's like Thelma and Louise!!! Now they just need to grab hands and scream as The Darkness overcomes them!!!" Writers you missed out on an EPIC ending by not doing that, just saying.
*Screaming*
So now we wait...we wait to find out what the eff happened to Cas? Did Crowley live? Can he really die, since Death is dead...?   But he's a Demon soooooo.  What happens when The Darkness overcomes them?  Also, I feel like The Darkness is like The Nothing from The Never Ending Story, they should totally make THAT reference next season. 

I just hope that having The Darkness and Death being well,"dead" allows the writers to bring back all our favs/love to hates (Michael, Lucifer, Chuck/God, Gabriel, etc).







Of course if they all start reappearing I think it would be safe to say its the last season and they ARE going out with a bang.  Give the boys the heroes exit.  Let them go to heaven and FINALLY be free of their burden(s), if anyone deserves it..its them.

  It should totally end with them in Heaven...Sam doing pushups while Dean eats pie.
