DAMN YOU, KRIPKE!!!!!

There, I feel better. No actually" hold on" *rubs ears gently while humming to self in attempts to calm down" Nope, it ain't working. This is the OMFG that the CW should have been promoting.

For the record, this is my first Supernatural live season finale. I didn’t get into the show until the beginning of season three, so I was able to watch the past two cliffhangers back to back via DVD. This is my first summer of agony, and dammit, the pain is deep.

Dean died and went to Hell!!! Sam is more powerful than Lilith!!! Ruby is banished somewhere!!! Bobby is just plain awesome!!! You’re all sick of the exclamation points!!! Okay, now that I’m calmer (breathe, breathe) I must take time to do the proverbial drop at the feet of the Kripster himself, the writer of this masterpiece, and bow down in his glory. This was better than his other scripts like "Devil's Trap"In My Time of Dying", "All Hell Breaks Loose Part II", and "The Magnificent Seven" (okay, any script was better than that one).

All season, this show harped on the "Dean's going to Hell" story line, and we fans just assumed they would come up with a way to get him out of it. So, imagine our surprise when it actually happened. Kripke went there! You magnificent bastard. Sam didn't go darkside either and even the expected shot of Sam weeping over Dean's mangled corpse blew us away. Sure, there’s that whole ˜Dean-hanging-on-a-hook-in-Hell-screaming-in-agony-Sam's name" plot twist, but you wanted us to curse at you all summer, didn't you Mr. Kripke?

Season finales are the toughest sells to fans. Expectations are usually sky high, so many leave disappointed. I was not one of those people. This makes up for all the crappy finales I’ve had to endure in recent times (yes, Heroes, I'm talking to you). Great finales can be done on a low budget. All you need is a well-paced script with great lines, two actors who can pull off the heavy emotional angst in a believable yet heartbreaking way, and a director who knows the perfect angle to capture the devastation of losing someone that you love. Bravo!

Let’s Start From The Beginning

"Carry On My Wayward Son". All is right with the universe. I love consistency, since that song appeared in the montage opening the last two season finales. It was great to see a complete season three reel for once, reminding us that this was a pretty awesome season, all nitpicks aside. The season three DVD set is available for pre-order on Amazon and my name in on that list.
