On one hand, I could probably write an essay on how Sam and Dean Winchester’s constant, explicit positioning as tools to be used instead of as a people (”Daddy’s blunt little instrument”, the pre-natal selection as the chosen one by Azazel, the vessels for Michael and Lucifer, the necessary ingredients to God’s story) makes for a good commentary on the consumption of young male bodies for military power and patriarchal violence.

On the other hand, this season the Winchesters got trapped in THE DINOSAUR DIMENSION.

S8 really is the “Christ I want to punch Dean Winchester’s dumb self-righteous hypocritical face” season, isn’t it.

Rowena claiming God can’t kill her because she’s pagan and doesn’t believe in Him is a delight.

Like by this point she’s already chilled out with God’s evil twin and been killed by Lucifer and then resurrected I think so she’s got no excuse, just pure moxie.

SPN literally just did a somber, closing-episode scene of sending a corn snake to Snake Heaven.

Love that Rowena just says “I’m the most powerful witch alive and no one else on Earth could do that very specific magic thing you need done”

and Team Winchester is just unquestioningly like “Rowena is the most powerful witch alive and no one else on Earth could do that very specific magic thing we need done, we have to defend her with our lives no matter how much we hate her”, none of them suspecting that pathological liar Rowena’s full of shit yet again and there are many other witches who could do the very specific magic thing that needs to be done.

Who’s the bigger idiot, the person who tells a self-aggrandizing lie that could be caught out in two minutes if someone bothered to check, or the people who don’t think to check? Bear in mind that this is the apocalypse and a few billion lives are at stake.

You know, SPN is a campy shitshow, but I do think it’s both narratively interesting and bold af to theme your entire final season around: “we didn’t expect to make it this far honestly, what do we as fictional characters do now that the story has ended and we have true free will?”

I mean, if you’re going to want happy endings in your minority representation, maybe don’t watch shows where literally every character dies.

Sam: I fucked a demon.

Dean: I fucked an angel.

Rowena: Hold my beer.
