or, how i learned to stop worrying and love armageddon

Dark confession time: So, season 6 is confirmed. I sort of want 5x22 to be SPN's equivalent of "Dr. Strangelove" and Lucifer drops the bombs (or unleashes Croatoan or whatever) before any possible kicking of the bucket. Then every other episode, at least the second half of S6, is pretty much like "The End". Except maybe not quite as bad. Dean isn't some cold, apathetic hard-ass. Sam's still Sam and around. Cas isn't some tragic over-sexed and over-doped Last Man. Dean doesn't strip the Impala, etc.

Homebase eventually becomes Camp Chautauqua and they're still driving around fighting as many demons, Croatoan zombies or whatever other nasties while the gas holds out (hence the possible likening to S1/S2). Maybe also helping Cas try to find God. All the while holding it together as this dysfunctional, but still very real sort of family and the last bastion of hope for whatever humanity remains. Also leaders for whoever willing to believe in the supernatural and fight against it. Thus, Dean, Sam and Cas as the leaders of this small (but growing) band of human survivors. With the old religions fading and dying with the old world, here are also the first seeds planted for the future of the Winchester Gospel.

SPN gives us the post-apocalyptic story, even if they couldn't (or wouldn't) give us Apocalypse every ep.

But then I remember they have no monies and they can't do that. *sighs*

'Neither would I. To sit through all those seasons of Winchester angst and being told their relationship is unhealthy as is, to suddenly things back as they were in S1/S2 as if the latter seasons never happened? For them to suddenly deus ex machina their problems away? The angst can get tedious, but I want the story to continue on organically based on what came before it. A massive retcon just isn't my idea of good tv.'
So true. Although the people who want Season One Sam and Dean seem to be the people who don't realize how messed up and co-dependent Sam and Dean's relationship is; I heard one person say that if it does go back to Season One they're be happy because than Supernatural will be angst free. I guess they really are watching a different show than I am.

Yeah, they're way too focused on practical joke Dean-Sam, puppy dog eyed, emo hair Sammy and Dean clucking around him like a mother hen and forget how often they were crying even back then. The rel'p between the bros, though understandably not as bad as it is now, wasn't some picnic either. We see those co-dependency issues in S1. IIRC, the end of S1 is also when Dean first started noticing Sam's likeness to John (came to a head in S4's JtS) and one of the primary things in latter seasons that often bring Dean and Sam to loggerheads. Sam and John themselves point out how much they have in common in "Salvation", I think.

True, but some people will always see Sam as the woobiest woobie who ever woobied.
