Sam: "...anything is better than this."
Supernatural always has the same finales which always leave you gasping. It's been the same over the ten seasons. Dean (Jensen Ackles) saving Sam (Jared Padalecki) and vice versa, getting saved by others, suffering the car accident, losing Dad. Yet season 11 was altogether different, now that the Darkness was unleashed at season 10's end, it was now on the brothers to end the reign and save the world once more. However this finale seemed a little bittersweet. If it was so easy for Amara (Emily Swallow) and Chuck (Rob Benedict) to just make up cos Dean talked about family and how he and Sam always fight, but make-up, then how easy would it have been to end that storyline quicksmart, instead of it wavering for an entire season. Granted there were stand alone eps, as there always were and have been, but it's surprising it took love of her family for Amara to wake up to herself. The bottom line is always love in this show and always has been. No matter if it's for mother, father, brother or any loved one. Yet whilst Dean got to play hero and save the world, he was the bomb and only him, though it did get to a point where it was pointless, since she already knew why he was here. But he also got to see Mom (Samantha Smith).
That was foreshadowing since they don't and have never visited Mom's grave in a finale, ever. Yet this time Dean and Sam wanted to go there, one last time perhaps and this from Dean who didn't even want to go there in the ep 2.4 Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things yet he did and here they did so. Also the way in which Sam touched her headstone, as if that would help her, little did he know she would be back since Amara tells Dean she'll give him back something he needs, as he gave her back Chuck. Instead of Dean saying goodbye to Sam in the Impala and talking as they always do, Dean was having a heart to heart with Cas (Misha Collins) when he was going for the beer run. So Dean found Mom and how easy was it for Amara to bring her back for him. Yet once again put upon Sam didn't get his wish for Mom to return (he must've wished this a thousand times and prayed for her since he didn't know her and prayer was his personal salvation) and helping Chuck, who when he recovered could've been the one to grant this. Is there some underlying reason for this and is Mom really Mom?
What did Sam get, Sam got that insufferable Valerie from The Vampire Diaries! Huh just when I thought she'd gone for good, we have to see her in my fave show as a Woman of Letters: The London Chapter! What does she do, she shoots Sam cos she was ordered. NO ifs no buts (hope she gets a good hiding next season and is sent off packing very quickly.) Okay she's a woman and we all know how a lot of us hate the female characters (most of them at least) but she wasn't necessary. It's like an injustice Dean gets Mom, Sam gets some lead. Come on the writers must've learned their lesson with Bela! These sorts of characters don't work and shouldn't last long at all. Toni (Elizabeth Blackmore) seemed as cliched as they come, yes she has a kid, mom has a secret, in her time off/spare time whatever she works for or is a part of the Men Of Letters. Don't get me wrong, nothing against women, but she seems so arrogant and uppity. Delphine Seydoux (Weronika Rosati) in the submarine ep The Vessel was also part of the Men of Letters and I'd rather see someone like her, or even her than another bureaucratic stuck up Brit! UGH!
Instead of their lives being in peril, the tables were tuned, it was Dean who was going to explode and Sam was going to be left alone again, that wasn't new. Yet it turns out Sam is the one in mortal peril (once more.) But Dean didn't call him or anything to tell him he was safe and all's well with the world and with him. Yet Sam, dutiful Sam, selfless Sam, Sam who sprang everyone into action one last time, has yet another mishap befall him, or so it seems. Sometimes I just wish we can now end this never-ending angel arc and go back to how it used to be. Just the two brothers on the road, no mention of other hunters, no turmoil in heaven and all the rest of it.
The Chuck/Amara story was doomed from the start since it didn't really have anywhere to go, either one gets killed, or the other or both, so where would that leave the world. Probably where it was when Chuck did a runner and let his creation fend for themselves, his big word "freewill" shouldn't have emulated and applied to him. He should've been there, especially to ensure there was no war in heaven, what sort of an example did that set. Sure the angels were not meant to be subjected to their own freewill. I mean look at Lucifer and what happened to him with his exercise of free will; he was cast out from heaven. Instead Chuck says the earth will have Sam and Dean as it always did, so God does another runner.
Let's go back to basics for season 12, like I've said already and stop pandering to the whims of fans. Sorry if you don't want to hear that, everyone has their own ideas and stories of where they'd like to see the show go, or what should be included, characters, plots etc; but writers of a show are there to do exactly that, to write and to create their own vision of where they want the stores to go. It was like that at the beginning, now let's get back to that! It is after all, "saving people, hunting things, the family business!" Let's make it so!
