Yes, I know it was aired weeks ago…but the truth of it is, I was kilt too ded to really describe my feelings for it with any sort of coherency. Yeah, like I’ve ever been coherent when talking about Supernatural. That show makes me crazy like a FAWX.
Here’s the thing:
I LOVED IT.
Every second of it.
I really thought they were going to leave us hanging with the les freres Winchester at odds, and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have stood it for the summer. I’d have just passed out in a pool of my own tears and not been heard from again until the fall premiere. I don’t like the brothers at odds — even as it makes for delicious emo drama angst, I can’t stand it! Sam and Dean should be there for each other no matter what, they are brothers!!!!!!!!

I loved that Sam was beginning to doubt. I never hated Ruby but I’m glad she got her comeuppance when it turned out she was bad. I’m glad Dean called his brother from Heaven’s green room to tell him he was sorry, even if the message never got through. I’m glad Castiel defied his superiors to help them.
Lucifer rising? Will they put him back in the ground? I’m not sure I like the idea of the final season being all about Lucifer walking the earth, but you know what? Supernatural hasn’t led me wrong so far. Any time it looks like they’re going to start in on something I don’t think I’ll like, they take me there or someplace else, and it’s all good. It’s better than good, it’s fucking awesome.
I spent the entire episode writhing in my seat. At one point Superman said “are YOU possessed?” I think he wasn’t even kidding. At the end of it, fade to white, screen goes blank, I literally SCREAMED. Just like last year, when they left Dean in Hell. But louder. With more angst.
Then I went upstairs and texted my friend at the retreat and just said “Oh my fucking god.” And she hated me because she wasn’t watching it until the next day. And then I had to CALL someone else so I could squee about it.
That is how much I loved the season finale of Supernatural this year. I turned me into a gibbering, writhing, screaming mess and I’m not sure I’ve recovered. I can’t wait for season five which is going to be so, so bittersweet, knowing already it’s the last one.
God. I don’t think I can stand it. Don’t get me wrong — I’m not of the mind they should just keep going just because *I* want them to, or any of us want them to. The J’s probably need to get moving on other parts of their careers, and I’d rather — MUCH rather — have the show end the way it should rather than be stretched out just ‘cuz. In fact, since every other year it was a question of “if” they’d return, not “when” I view season five as a sweet, sweet bonus to be cradled to my bosom and made pie. I will cherish every single second of it knowing it will be the last time I watch a new episode of Supernatural.
Gawd.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to survive it.
In other news, the Star Trek exhibit was pretty cool. I thought seeing the new Star Trek on the IMAX screen would be super cool, but even 40 foot Zachary Quinto was just too much. It was all too big. I know, right? Can you believe I’d ever say such a thing? but the IMAX just isn’t that great for seeing long movies…I mean, every seat was packed, they’re not comfy, they spilled all the popcorn beforehand so we couldn’t have snacks and getting out to use the bathroom in the middle was a nightmare. Even so, the third viewing was as exciting and delicious as the first two, and I still loved it. Just not as much as I thought I would seeing it so huuuuuuuge.
Also, I got to sit in Captain Kirk’s chair and on the bridge of the Next Generation’s Enterprise. Um, yeah, it was pretty freaking cool, too, I don’t mind saying. Don’t hate on me because my ass touched plastic that Shatner’s ass touched. Or maybe he never did, maybe it was just a replica. I dunno. It said it was the real thing. Either way, it was nifty and I had a great time. The only thing was, they didn’t allow photography, you had to get your picture took by wandering photogs and then buy them. Which of course we did. But I don’t know where they are, so I can’t upload them to show you. Sorry. I know you all wanted to see me in the Captain’s chair. It was really cool.
Did I mention how cool it was?
I’m not sure it was as cool as this:
But lemme tell ya, if they’d had a chief science officer there to accost it might’ve beat out Star Wars.

I was actually hoping they would keep Dean and Sam at odds cause I wanted it to go the way of the brotherly showdown. Yes, I know. I’m evil.
But GAWD and LAWDY was it an awesome season finale!
