DEAN & MIRACLE | SUPERNATURAL S15E20 “CARRY ON”

jeffreyss

This ladies and gentlemen, and everyone else, are the people who wrote off Dean and Castiel in the most disrepectful way. You wonder why? Roll the video. You see nothing wrong with these clips? Oh… i feel sorry for you. If you honestly think these people love and respect both Jensen but especially Misha you are in the wrong. I am sorry but “jokes” and “funny” has its barriers. And the way Misha was treated all these years, the example above being only one from many, is just utterly disrespectful. For someone who works as hard as Jensen and Jared you are telling me this is the attitude he deserves? Saying he is “not as high quality” as the ‘duo’ of the show? I’m sorry but i cannot and will not have any respect for these kind of people.

Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins didn’t deserve this kind of attitude.

you see yourself the way our enemies see you (15.18 | 15.19)

While everyone is off crying in the corner and whining about how bad this episode was and how shitty it was that Dean didn't weep, let me put it to you this way:

1) 99% of Dean Winchester's coping mechanism is alcohol and shovels. He buries shit as deep as he can with alcohol and repeated layers of absolute trauma... and why? So he can keep going. If he lets himself really sit on what happened, really look at it... he'd die. He'd shrivel up in a ball and let the pain swallow him whole.

But he's not going to do that. Because doing that means Cas died for nothing. It means his sacrifice was in vain. So, he buries it deep and he gets up, and he keeps going. He tries to save the world.

2) "There's nothing and no one I'd put above you." - Dean, to Sam, what feels like an eternity ago. 15X18 saw him ignoring Sam's calls in the middle of a world-ending, Thanos-snapping, total rapture apocalypse. He didn't give a shit what was happening with Sam and Jack. He didn't give a shit if Sam knew he was still alive or not. He just lost Cas.

15X19 has Dean telling God that he will kill Sam, he'll give up, he'll wave the white flag if he just puts everything right again. If he just brings Cas back. He's certainly putting someone above Sam now.

3) The last time Dean faced someone he cared about who inherited God-like powers, terrible things happened. (I'm looking at you, God!Cas). He was scared to death. If Jack was truly absorbing all the wasted power around him, then be realistic. He was juiced up by Death, Lucifer, Michael, God and Amara. That's one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, two archangels, and two deities for anyone keeping track. He's an actual toddler.

If Cas, who already loved them all so much he'd do anything for them, could go dark side with that much power, what would someone like Jack do? The two year old son of Lucifer himself, who already killed Mary, who already killed innocents, and who Dean had been berating for months? He was scared. So was Sam. They didn't ask for favors, they laid on the worship thick. "Of course he's coming back. We'll get him (enter bunker fixtures here)". If I were Dean, I wouldn't have uttered the name of a single person I loved in Jack's presence until I was sure he wouldn't end up like every other god-level dickbag he's ever met.

He probably thought he was doing Cas a favor.

4) For the first time in his life, Dean Winchester knows he's more than Daddy's Blunt Instrument. And why does he suddenly know this after years of being told the same thing? Because he saw the truth in Cas' eyes. He saw the facts laid bare, he finally — FINALLY saw in himself what Cas has seen in him all along.

If his angel says it, believes it enough to suffer a fate worse than death for him... the least he can do is listen. To believe. To do everything in his power to not prove him wrong.

So he walked away. After wanting Chuck dead more than anything he's ever wanted in his entire life... he walked away. Weightless. Unincumbered. Without a shred of regret. He walked away with a fucking smile, because he really did win. He won against every demon inside of him that had tried to tear him down since he was 4 years old. He won against every heartbreak he'd ever suffered, every year in Hell he spent being tortured. Every mistake he ever made. He won, because in the end, when it mattered, he chose mercy. He chose to let go of his quest for revenge. He chose to lead with love. "Everything you've ever done, the good and the bad... you've done for love."

And why? Because his angel, his best friend, the love of his life... knew he was capable of it. Held him to a higher standard than he ever held himself, and he'd kill his own brother (see point #2) before he let Cas down ever again.

The path is clear. Dean's arch has come full circle, freeing his path in more ways than one. He now believes himself to be the man that Cas thinks he is, and only now — only after this final turn when he finally believes himself to be a man worthy of love — can he finally accept it.

Dabb gave us a gift in letting BuckLeming wrap up the mythos of this series. He let them write their bronlies ending, let them write the ending they can sell to ignorant countries that won't be happy with what he does in the true finale. And all that's left is 40 minutes... 40 minutes for Dabb to bring this entire, glorious, wonderful, brilliant story to a close.

And it won't be in violence. "Family don't end in blood."

It ends in love.

There were a handful of moments that struck me as intentionally authentic. Most of these, although not all, but most, pertained to one thing.

Because amid that messy, oddly flat, yet also purposefully crafted self-drag, the strongest emotional notes were ones that directly followed on Dean and Cas in 15.18. Even Sam and Eileen was abandoned (again, intentionally, and not actually what the show’s aims are). But Dean and Cas somehow maintained a sense of realness. Remember that Castiel is the unique spanner in the works, this Cas is the only Cas who broke the rules and also the only Cas in all the worlds who fell in love with Dean Winchester.

-Dean still wearing that jacket with the bloody hand-print

-Dean having to tell Sam and Jack that Cas was gone

-Dean passed out on the library floor after grief drinking.

-Dean yelling at God “You’re gonna bring him back” about Cas. Clear as a bell, demanding, right to Chuck’s face, an escalation from Dean’s isolated and broken prayer in early S13

-Lucifer trolling Dean with the Cas phone call in order to get into the bunker, and Dean leaping up, racing up those stairs 2 at a time. He moved so fast and his face when it wasn’t Cas...with added horror that it was Lucifer, but he was shook by disappointment too. He hoped with every cell in his body.

-Dean refusing to play Chuck’s game any more, no longer letting Chuck bait him, Dean telling Chuck he isn’t what Chuck wants him to be, Dean being the person Cas knows he is, that Cas told him he sees in him. Important Dean moment and Destiel moment.

-all the names carved on the table, which included Castiel and we all know who carved that particular name, right?

So the part of this ep that emerged most authentically as emotional notes pertained to Dean and Cas.

“You asked me what about any of this is real. We are.”

Chuck: You may have stripped me of my power... but I still won.

Sam: How?

Chuck: *points at Dean* You're still HETEROSEXUAL!! *points at the time left in the episode* Ain't no way you can bring Cas back now!

Dean: *smirking, pointing behind Chuck* Guess again, dicknose.

Chuck: *looks to where Dean's pointing, sees in BIG BLOCK LETTERS 'Next Week: 15x20, written by Andrew Dabb'* Noooo!!!!!!

It was always unfortunate the Buckner and Ross-Leming were going to have the second to last episode, because they are not talented writers. They have convoluted plots, overcomplicated timelines, so many elements people don’t give a shit about, and like to play into cheesy, lazy tropes that no one really enjoys. But Supernatural, the most meta piece of media in its class, made this last season about what makes a story valuable, and what makes it shitty. By making the writer the villain, and defining what he did and didn’t write, they are giving us a commentary on what parts of the show matter – and what parts we don’t need to care as much about.

So, let’s think a moment about what “Inherit The Earth” accomplished. In a confusing, cobbled together and rather rushed first 40 minutes it addressed and resolves loose end after loose end after loose end, finishing off with the defeat of the villain and the restoration of humanity on earth. Bam, bam, bam, story arcs were closed off and conflicts resolved, leaving us with very little mytharc left to address. But what wasn’t addressed by this episode? What didn’t come up at the end? The things we care about. Eileen, and Cas. What it is the brothers want for their futures.

How brilliant was it to assign all of the detritus that viewers care less about to the weakest links in the writers’ room, clearing the entire board of less-important (to the audience) unresolved plotlines with an episode left to go? In a one two punch, Supernatural took the stuff less important to the heart of the story and reinforced its unimportance by assigning it to Buckleming. They’re done. The big, dramatic conflict is over. The only thing left to address is the stuff we actually care about, and it went PURPOSEFULLY UNADDRESSED ONCE THE WINCHESTERS WERE FREED FROM THE STORY. Because that’s not for the Chucks of the writers’ room to decide – they can’t get their hands on the love, and the relationships. Because what else is there left to resolve?

No, guys, pals, friends, we should be cracking the champagne right now because this episode got all of the rest of the stuff out of the way. None of the B-plot can get in the way of the finale, which will focus on the heart of the show. Andrew Dabb will come through, and he won’t have worked on 15x20 alone. They left the love, the relationships, the romance, and the people that matter for the finale because this is the Winchester’s story now, and they will follow their hearts.

TØP Weekly Update #58: Hope We Catch It (8/17/2018)

Not too awful much to report on this week, as Tyler, Josh, and company wrap up production on Trench and get ready to launch into a whole new era for the band. Let’s get through everything we know really quick and get back to waiting for that album.

This Week’s TØPics:

Drop Dead Due Date Done

Tour Rehearsals Begin (Maybe)

“Jumpsuit” Deflates, “Levitate” Levitates on the Charts

Major News and Announcements:

Truthfully, the only real news from this week was this tweet from Tyler Joseph the Twenty One Pilots account announcing that the final version of Trench was due for submission to the label last Wednesday. The Clique immediately began speculating that Tyler was then going to leak the entire album nearly two months before its announced release date, because they’re desperate. (I mean, the guy’s definitely going to leak it early, just not that early.)

Other Shenanigans:

We did have one potential leak this week, as folks from around the world reported that their Apple TVs were giving “My Blood” a release date of September 7. A technical glitch? Perhaps. But Blurryface had five tracks released before the full album, and with seven weeks until the full album releases, it just makes sense to maintain the public’s interest and release one more track in the middle of that drought. Does that mean that there will be another music video? Will that date coincide with the band’s return to the public eye via interviews or TV appearances? I have no idea.

In other news, Josh’s social media revealed that he and Michael “Slowjohn” Gibson, the band’s production manager, were both in Nashville the day of Trench’s drop dead due date. Clique detectives figure this means that Twenty One Pilots could have physically dropped off the masters of the album at one of Warner Music’s headquarters in the city. However, since that branch tends to handle the group’s country artists (and Fueled By Ramen is headquartered in New York), the more likely explanation for this development is that the band is in Nashville, the location of their first tour date, to begin rehearsals for the Bandito Tour. With this much prep time going into it, I cannot wait to see what the band has in store for their biggest tour to date.

Chart Performance:

Unfortunately, the general commercial performance of the new music is not looking particularly stellar. “Jumpsuit” has fallen off hard at streaming, its sales are continuing to weaken. There is the silver lining that it continues to gain plays at radio from weak-to-weak, but it still has yet to get that real kick that could return it to the Hot 100 and empower it to continue the band’s hit streak.

One other bright spot: with only a day of sales, “Levitate” debuted at #10 on the “Rock” Sales Chart. Genre misplacement aside, that’s still a significant accomplishment. We’ll just have to see if it has the legs to show up on any charts after a full week.

That’s all we got for now. TØP’s been in a groove of following up every quiet week with some hype. Now that the music video trilogy is wrapped up and the album’s done, maybe Tyler will remember that little dmaorg.info project he hasn’t touched for nearly a month? Just a thought.

Power to the local dreamer.
