I've been winchestered

John : What do you mean, you felt something?

- the entire mess of a season leading up to it (I’ll leave that for another time as I’m doing a rewatch of season 15)

- the method of Dean dying - I spoke about that in another post and actually I’m fine with that right now. I like the tragedy of it.

- Dean dying younger and Sam and Dean separated for years with Sam living a happy apple pie life without his brother.

I’ll deal with the third one here.  As I’ve said before, I’m happy with people to have different interpretations over something, because sometimes it gets me to think about things in a different way.  

I had two different experiences yesterday, one extreme Sam fan came at me on one of my posts because I dared to suggest Sam wasn’t completely happy without his brother.  I didn’t mind their opinion being different to mine, but I did mind their attitude about it as if anyone not having the same opinion as them was wrong.  Uh nope GTFO with that.  

And then another post came along that got me to think about the episode again in an entirely different light.

I know the show was never going to show Sam putting a bullet in his brain and I understand that but looking at that last scene with Sam as he’s turning the lights out, you know he’s not ever coming back.  Sam went on that last hunt and died on that last hunt and I can believe that the scenes of Sam growing old are Dean dreaming as he’s driving, he’s happy because he’s dreaming of his baby brother having this life and family.  I see his face when Sam appears, he knows instantly and he’s not surprised in the least that Sam got there shortly after he did (yeah time works different in heaven, but not THAT different).  I see Sam a little uncertain;  Dean will know he didn’t do as asked (Sam hasn’t aged a day) and he’s a little worried about his response but Dean knew his brother wouldn’t listen and he’s happy he’s here.  

ETERNITY. TOGETHER.
