I am Mr. Productivity today. Did my work, finally picked up the dry cleaning, went to Costco (chicken tikka masala; chicken, garlic, spinach and fontina sausages; chicken, red pepper and spinach sausages; boursin; pre-cooked chicken breast strips; apple raspberry juice; gluten-free deli-sliced fried chicken; gluten-free turkey basil meatballs), went to the regular supermarket for mangoes Patty needs for a recipe; and have otherwise felt like a functional, contributing member of society. You don't care, but I care.
I don't watch SPN. No time. Also, to be frank, what I know about the fandom makes me seriously uncomfortable. But I've heard about a bazillion spoilers for tonight, and guys, I ache for you, seriously. I loved CoE, but I hate to watch another fandom go through this sort of thing, especially when it involves a lot of people who don't necessarily want another CoE-like experience. But hey, I have no horse in this race, so if you want to flail in comments, go right ahead. Obviously, there may be spoilers there.
Meanwhile, I think I'm going to nap until Patty gets home. Then we'll make dinner and watch Buffy and Angel while the world explodes for the SPN folk.
I could have done without the very last shot -- it would've been better if it had been left ambiguous.
As for the surprise (at least it was for me) revelation in the finale, I am going to have to give it much thought, and re-watch some episodes to see if it hangs together. My immediate reaction, though, is glee at the audacity of the writers, plus I'm chortling over two lines from the ep which in retrospect are clues/jokes.
They were in the phonecall between Chuck and Dead. Chuck picks up the phone and asks, "Mistress Madga?" SPOILER As in Magdalene. END SPOILER Then when Chuck tells Dean things didn't work out with Becky because he respected her too much, Dean accuses him of having a virgin/whore complex.
Whoa! That hadn't occurred to me -- that Chuck might not be the Father but the SON. I like that! It kin of automatically puts Chuck on the same side as the Winchesters -- sons grappling with burdens bequeathed to them by demanding, unknowable fathers.
I still wish that the spoiler I had gotten that Papa Winchester would be back had come true. That would have added so much symmetry to the whole brothers fighting for an absent father thing.
