In the finale of season 10 of Supernatural Dean tries to take control of his fate, while Rowena, Crowley and Cas attempt to complete the spell to cure the Mark.
Well, that was disappointing. And boring. And I'm not happy.
The only time I got excited was when I saw Julian Richings' name in the credits.
After the season 9 finale I had hoped the writers had started to realise how predictable this show has become and wanted to change that. Season 10 has now proved that this is not the case. They are still following the same formula they have been using for the last 10 years. That Sam and Dean will do anything for each other, which now includes destroying the world. Because it does not matter if hundreds or thousands or millions of innocent people die, as long as I have you by my side. Fuck this shit...
Sam was feeling so guilty when he freed Lucifer, but now he's willing to sacrifice the world just so Dean is cured? What?? And apparently it is not enough to know that curing the Mark will have horrible consequences, Sam needs to know exactly what will happen. I believe Dean said that the spell would have consequences of the biblical proportion. Does that not sound bad enough?? This makes no sense. And why would Cas go along with this? Come on, Cas! Be smart and don't just do what Sam says.
Now, about Dean's plan to summon Death to help; that was smart. A hell of a lot smarter than Sam's plan. But of course once Death told what removing the Mark would mean, I knew that was exactly what they were going to do. Dean was never going to kill Sam, even though things looked like that for a while. But I really wish he had. That would have been something new, something different. Death taking Dean away, Sam in Heaven and Cas trying to solve the situation. But no... Instead Dean kills Death. What?!? That will have huge consequences on the universe! So is Dean now going to take his place? Because permanently killing Death without a replacement seems like a thing that should not be possible.
But Sam giving Dean the photographs was a surprisingly sweet moment.
Oh, and since when do witches have enough power to hex an angel?? I call bullshit. But Cas better not kill Crowley like this. He was just getting back to being evil, I wanted to see that.
Now that I have ranted about the episode itself, lets take a moment to talk about season 10. All in all, I'd say it's better than season 9 and has some really great episodes, but I have complaints. I have already said how disappointed I am with the writers sticking to the same old plotlines. Lies, secrecy, not communicating, doing anything they can for their brother. Boring.
I wanted more Demon Dean. I get he needed to be Dean so we could have the masterpiece that is 'Fan Fiction' and that's okay. But there was no exploration of his powers. He's a demon, a Knight of Hell, he should be able to do things, wreck havoc, but no. He just sings karaoke. We didn't really see him being evil or anything. Dean struggling with the Mark was worse, he did worse things then (which seems like a weird choice) and I wanted more. And curing the Mark like that was just boring. Also, if it took god and all the archangels to beat the Darkness the last time, then what hell can the Winchesters do? Chuck's not intervening anymore, all the archangels are either dead or locked in the Cage, and there's nothing as powerful around. Feels like a pointless battle.
Like I said last week, I'm too invested in this show to quit, but I'm not terribly excited for season 11. It would have been better to end the show with season 10 and have Dean kill Sam and then have Death take Dean away. That would have been one hell of an end, and I think I would have been okay with that.
