"You do anything for a long period of time, you kinda feel it when it comes to an end."
—Jensen Ackles

Fifteen years. Wow. Congratulations, Supernatural. I didn't expect I would have time for this, but this is the end. The end of a show I used to think, used to hope, maybe would never end. Fifteen years and somehow it feels both too soon and well earned. Now that, quite surprisingly, Chuck was beaten before the series finale, I'm sitting here in my room one day before it's all over to contemplate life without the Winchesters in it. Or, more accurately, without any new stories featuring them. They'll always be in my life, as SPN is one of my favorite series of all time. I will be rewatching some day.

Drowning
Season 15, Back Half Teaser


"No doubt, endings are hard. But then again, nothing ever really ends...does it?"

It's almost time for the "final ride," as Jensen put it a few hours ago. The end of this series is going to hurt more than most. Being on for 15 years, I wouldn't want it to be any other way. That hurt means it mattered. Like Fringe, Buffy, and Angel before it, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. this summer, we'll be saying goodbye to something special.

Season 12, Episode 4 Recap

"Maybe she starts walking and she doesn't stop. You know, she obviously has zero interest in keeping this family together."
—Dean to Sam about Mary

Project Intro: Well, things have not gone to plan. I gave myself a project for the 2016-2017 TV season. I was going to tweet every episode of my five favorite dramas and then gather those tweets into post form, sprinkling in more commentary here and there. The only one I managed to finish was The Walking Dead S7E8, which took weeks, as is the usual for me when I get hung up on one amazing episode. So, the whole summer passed me by and I had nothing to show for it. But I'm not giving up on this project. I'm just turning it in past due, trying to avoid a two-season pile up by May. Good luck to me.

My how Sam's changed over the years. Yet he still looks baby-faced; they both do. Cuties. If only I could find time for a rewatch of all these seasons. I just need to quit my job, which I will actually be doing to better focus on my small business, hopefully soon. I badly need more freedom.

Those were great, but my forever favorite names will always belong to Castiel and Crowley in "The Foundry" (12.3) as Agents Beyoncé and Jay Z. For more names the boys have used in their unofficial investigations across the country, check out Supernatural Wiki: Aliases.

This is so sweet and desperate and has got to hurt the heart of every fan. I hope Mary gets back to her boys soon.

I want more of Castiel and Crowley together. Their contentious relationship, with Crowley's sarcasm and Castiel's impatience with him, is the funniest thing.

"Coroner says signs of stigmata with a side of scrambled brains."
—Dean to Sam

Blech. This is one of the grosser ones. Also, lol. Also, it's giving me Fringe feels.

DDean climbing the fence, while Sam just walks around it. A giggle-worthy moment, followed by sad Dean lashing out at their absent mom. I loved that humor and anger in the same scene, so close to the surface.

The Foundry
Season 12, Episode 3 Recap

I'm still mourning them as I knew them. My baby Sam. My little boy Dean. Just feels like yesterday we were together in Heaven. And now I'm here, and John is gone, and they're gone. And every moment I spend with you reminds me of every moment I lost with them.
—Mary to Sam and Dean

Dean tries to deny it, to avoid the conversation, to pretend that everything's alright. All these feelings about Mary being alive and home are big enough. To add on top of that that she doesn't know what to do with herself, how to process not being dead anymore and having missed so much, is overwhelming for her and her boys.

Mom, I am thrilled that you're back. I'm so damn happy I can't even stand it.
—Dean

"Mom, for me, just having you here...fills in the biggest blank."
—Sam

This tweetcap is best read along with a rewatch of the episode.

Before anything else, I have to say that once again Jensen and Jared have done a beautiful job. They both conveyed such a depth of emotion at Dean and Sam having their mother back that it was overwhelming. For that reason, I couldn't pick just one quote to start this post.

Season Opening Track

I'm always behind on Supernatural lately, I think since the beginning of season 11. I used to be able to watch it live, but suddenly my family had different priorities. Any new, mind-numbingly average series would always get watched first, relegating Supernatural to the level of a background noise show you put on when you're making dinner or paying bills. We would eventually get to a new episode of SPN days after it aired, and once it was three weeks. Early this season, I made a plea for Supernatural, and from then on we started mostly watching same-day again. Not quite live, but close enough again to feel right. Why did I not do that last year?
