I was all, "oh, come ON." Because it just was so teenage temper tantrum-ish. It's not like Dean learned anything he didn't know before about Sam. I mean, given that he didn't toss it through all of season 4, *this* being the straw that broke the camel's back just seemed very petty.

I know!

It was the sheer pettiness of it that made me SHRIEK WITH RAGE.

I have since come to better terms with that moment, after months, but I can still remember the incoherent rage it spawned in me when I watched it.

And yet this is also the show that brought us the end to "the End" with its awesome dean & cas friendship scene and sam & dean forgiveness scene, which is *still* making me go "awwwwwwwww".


How does that work?

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey, I love the show even if it made me incoherent with rage. I mean, if it got a reaction like that out of me? It's doing something right. If it wasn't good, I wouldn't have cared. :)

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

Heh, the fact that we're actually talking about this stuff makes us like super-die hard fans compared to the average viewer but...sometimes I do wonder.

The show has its high points and its low points for sure. But sometimes I look at its flaws and its strengths and wonder how it can elicit such reactions from me. What is it about the show? While certainly it's better than a lot of shows, it's also not (I must admit) up there in the ranks of truly great television. And yet it's the one I love best. I can see all its flaws and it often drives me insane (especially when it's just falling short of its potential) and yet it's also managed to take over my brain in a way nothing ever has before.

How did this happen? Why am I here? What's up with the fan fic?

::::has a fandom-related existential crisis::::

Yeah, I had to write a fic that fixed that. Not only Dean having it back, but Castiel apologizing for calling it worthless. (After being gently chided by God herself.) Because that was so fucked up.

I can has link to story please?

Here it is!

THANK YOU!

*runs away to read and likely mem*

[inyron.livejournal.com]

I'd like to second the request for a link to the story! I sought out and read a bunch of fic responses to the amulet scene, but I must have missed yours.

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

It's sorta buried in a longer fic. Not in Kansas Anymore: http://archiveofourown.org/works/104149?style=creator

[inyron.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That was a great fic.

That's why we love Show though, right ? It makes a feel things, granted lot's of times it's the overwhelming urge to kick something or spontaneously burst into tears like the finale. Only show on TV that does it for me, maybe forever.

Plus. I haven't been commenting on them but your "30 days" have turned into one of the things on Lj I watch for, so thanks for that.
Plus, plus. Haven't said hi in forever hope your summer is going awesome!

I screamed. And Cried. And angrily ranted to all my friends that watch the show (which are all Dean!Girls ((I feel so misunderstood!))) that Dean was a worthless asshole that deserved to be drawn and quartered by elephants

Yeah, that scene kinda made me mad :S

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

Word.

Yeah, I think that may have been his equivalent of fucking a demon and drinking its blood.

But I'm not sure which makes me angrier - that scene, or how it didn't show up in the finale. Maybe it'll come back S6, maybe not, but either way, Sam would have given it back to him in some fashion before he said yes to Lucifer. And we should have seen it. Don't even tell us Sam doesn't have it, either.

Unless it's like the sole thing keeping him together in the Pit or letting him escape from it, I won't forgive it.

ETA: Oh, and while there was also screaming for me through this episode, it didn't end there. My SPN comrade-in-arms (we fell in the love with the show and fangirled it together every step of the way), brosedshield, was currently out that night, and when she came back in with her parents, I ran out of my room to clutch her and start screaming incoherently - without spoilers - and ended up on the floor, rocking back and forth as I wailed. Her parents were a mite concerned.

I think the experience braced her for the episode, though, because she wasn't as broken, just angry for how they tried to pack so much in and the only thing that was really felt was the boys' death scene at the beginning.

Oh yes, agreed 100%!!!

I'll agree that there was incoherent shrieking at the TV, but mine was more aimed at the writers than at Dean (at least once the first shock had passed). I sort of saw that as Dean's absolute lowest point, and thought that he was not thinking clearly at all but rather out of incredible, almost suicidal pain and despair. And I think Dean really believed in that moment that he wasn't as important to Sam as Sam was to him. He's wrong times about a thousand and not for the first time, but depression is so not a reasonable place. I still wanted someone to give Sam a hug after that, though.

I'm still kinda pissed they didn't fix it in the season finale, and I'd be holding out hope for seeing it in season six, but they never dealt with the voicemail of doom, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wasn't angry at Dean, per se. I was angry at the situation. I've hurt for both boys all through the seasons, because they break my heart. I've never actually been angry at either one as a human.

I don't think we're ever going to see the pendant again. It was a symbol of Sam and Dean's old relationship, and they've moved past that now.

Oh, boys. *wibbles*
