A little worried (SPN - related)

[feliciakw]

Okay, so. In wandering around the 'Net this morning, I ran across something that . . . doesn't really surprise me. I found that Lisa is going to be what I think is the season finale. Well, since I've said all along that until there is a definitive break between Lisa and Dean there will always be the possibility that she can come back, I'm not surprised that she'll be back for one more episode.

But I've also been seeing spoilers here and there (before I can "move along, nothing to see here") that there are going to be two (yes, I've seen that specific number) unexpected deaths in the season finale. And I'm dreading that they will be Lisa and Ben. (Of course, the fact that I'm expecting it means that they aren't "unexpected," so maybe I'm wrong.) I know a lot of people want Dean to regress revert back to his womanizing, random hook-ups, and one-night stands. The only circumstances under which I can see that happening (regardless of what Jensen himself says. Man, would I like to sit down and talk character with him) is if Lisa is totally removed from the equation, either by death or by marriage.

I'm quite worried that Lisa and Ben will be killed off for the sake of convenience, with no greater purpose than to eliminate them from the story. I can see where the writers might think that the Dean/Lisa storyline needs definitive resolution, but I hope, I hope that they give their send-off meaning. Ellen and Jo might have died in a losing battle, but they died protecting their friends, and that's not nothing. If the writers do gank Lisa and Ben, I hope there's a better reason--a character developing, character revealing reason--than simply "we got bored with it. Let's get rid of them."

*deep breath*

Okay, just writing that out makes me feel better. But if it does happen, I warn you: Do not be surprised if I become sullen and/or cranky and/or ranty. I really kinda hate don't like that Dean can never be happy or fulfill his dreams.

Of course, if Dean and Sam cease to exist, none of this is a problem, right?

(Oh!!! And then the season opener next season would be something along the lines of It's a Wonderful Life. What would happen to the world if Sam and Dean were never born?)

Maybe they mean ep 21 instead of 22. Jensen mentioned them being in 21, his heavy episode, but maybe they're in both. I try to avoid specific spoiler stuff, but can't not watch the shiny in interviews.

The more I think about your "cease to exist" theory, the more I like it. Which I kinda hate because that kind of leaning forward leads to disappointment when things don't turn out the way you hope/want, which is why I'm generally against being spoiled out the ass. You can't help but have expectations or preconceived notions about things.

I'm at the point of the season where I'm gonna stop watching Directors Cuts and early video snippets. Do you know how HARD it was to NOT look at the western footage released earlier this week! It was brutal!!!!! But I wanna have some suspense and surprise about some things, you know.

IS IT FRIDAY YET?!

I don't' know what ep number it was, I just saw the title. It makes sense that they would be in the Dean-centric ep, and not the Sam-centric one.

You know I try to avoid spoilers, but I'm so totally with you on not being able to resist the shiny in con vids. (Interviews I can speed through and only get snatches.)

I've never been one to watch directors cuts or preview clips. I figure we only get 42 minutes of new show each week, and I don't want to already know how 2 - 3 minutes of that is going to play. :-)

This Friday will be a very busy one for me (after which, I'll probably have more thespic ponderings), but my mom has assured me that she and I will find time to watch Show. Heh.
