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?)

I don't think it's Lisa and Ben - primarily because the quote says "UNEXPECTED deaths." Half the fandom would love to see Lisa and Ben slaughtered in some garish, bloody way, so you couldn't call it "unexpected" - I think even *Dean* has it in the back of his mind that something could happen to them at any moment.

I'm going to keep my money on your proposal that the "unexpected deaths" are Sam and Dean ceasing to exist (or being shoved so far back into the past that they can't be retrieved, and everyone believes they're dead).

This show is going to end up so far from its original concept, you won't be able to see it with the Hubble Telescope.

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 know a lot of people want Dean to regress revert back to his womanizing, random hook-ups, and one-night stands.

Honestly, I blame the show for wanting to regress Dean backward, and I'll leave it at that.

I think the confusion about the "finale" comes from the fact that the CW was initially advertising 6:21/6:22 as a two-part finale when they bumped it to make room for the two-hour Smallville finale the week before. Kripke, OTOH, made it perfectly clear at the Paleyfest that 6:21 has nothing to do with 6:22, and wished it wasn't airing on the same night.

Lisa and Ben are only scheduled to show up in 6:21, and I'm anticipating nothing more than another eye-rolling round of "No, this time we're really over, as opposed to the last three times we said we were over."

But I doubt they'll kill off the Braedens - I don't think any of the producers care enough about them to kill them off, not even Gamble.

Your idea about the Winchesters never existing at the end of the sixth season is an interesting one. Goodness knows killing them off for the gazillioneth time would frankly just bore the audience into a stupor since it's not surprising at all.

Of course, if they get a seventh season, they still have to bring them back into play, unless the seventh season is going to be a year-long AU with the Winchesters existing in a different 'verse from the one they were living in before they were extinguished from that reality.

THIS! If not this i don't see a point in the show's message.
