Itās cursed speculation time: worst case scenario
Iām drunk Chuck and this post is my design for the ending. Or, I am Gabe from āMystery Spotā and i am here to teach you a lesson.
Disclaimer: I believe with my whole heart that nothing from this post is anywhere near what we are getting. Itās me being sarcastic. Itās a joke. I think Iām being hilarious, please donāt take it away from me. None of this should be taken seriously. On the opposite, the solemn goal of this post is to show that you should put all the negativity aside and stop worrying. We are up for a happy end!
You can check my opinion here and here.
Light, camera aaaand action!
Cas is not coming back. He just isnāt. The best season arc ever written in Supernatural? Oh no, you are just seeing things again.
Has been to empty before, bounced back twice? Naaaah, this time itās different. This time itās for good. No further explanation, just take my word for it.
Regarding Dean. He is not feeling this way about Cas, he canāt reciprocate and he wonāt, this was a strictly brotherly relationship for him all way long. The looks? The jokes? The prayer? The parallels with Cain and his wife, with Sam and Eileen, Charlie and Stevie? The despair every time he loses Cas? Heās just a flirty little drama queen, sweetie, and you are delusional.
Sure, he is brokenhearted by the loss of a friend, but never mentions to either Sam or Jack what has really happened in the bunker. Why? Castiel is gone, thatās enough. No reflection on the matter whatsoever, they wonāt ever speak of him again.
Character development who? Dean is still an angry man with his rock music, his car and his daddy issues, with āDONāT DESERVE - DONāT CAREā tattooed on his knuckles.
Casā confession goes in vain, as well as his sacrifice. Dean doesnāt get the message.
Dean keeps the jacket on as a reminder how hard he fucked up with the whole kill Bill(y) idea. Itās the coal fueling his anger, you know, the only thing Dean Winchester knows.
Thereās also guilt, caused by the idea that, at the end of the day, Dean is the reason Cas is dead. Silly angel puts another brick in the wall of his self-hatred. The wall so high he soon wonāt need Falcon 9 to reach Mars.
Forgiveness? Redemption? Learning, discovering new things about himslef for at least the last five years? Uh-huh, thanks, but no thanks.
Jack who? Something definitely went wrong with Billyās plan of taking Chuck out, but we just pretend it never happened. We need Jack to sacrifice himself somehow, for the only acceptable ending, so he simply goes supernova. Again. But this time doesnāt miss.
What about Ruby? What about āyou made it loudā? What about Lucifer attempting to get out? āLast time it took all the archangels to cage meā anyone?
Just sweep it all under the rug and forget it ever happened, for godās sake, itās not like every second of the show has to actually mean something.
The issue of Jack dying is also never addressed ever again, it just was meant to end this way. No biggie. His troubled relationship with Dean? Their touching conversations with Cas and Sam? The characterās arc screaming āIām perceived evil, but I donāt want to beā not finished? Come again?
The show is about family. The Winchester family. And following the logic of never ending brothersā deathly ping pong, it all ends with one of them dying during the fight. To save the second one, of course.
Which one? Dean always throws scissor, so itās kinda predestined.
How? Heroically, given his unhelthy and unhelpful tendency to put everyone but himslef first. He didnāt even have to die, we see it clearly later, itās done just for the sake of the Winchesters early seasons dynamics. Dibs on dying first!
Bobby? Eileen? Charlie? Another twenty humans? Sorry, kinda forgot to write them back into the script after theyāve vanished.
Letās say they are not dead, just away. Thatās a happy thought, right?
Everyone we cared about for years is either dead or gone, monsters are still lurking under the kidsā beds, but at least God is dead. Thatās a win!
Fifteen years, a few apocalypses, a handful of deathes - yet no reflection, no regret, no lessons learned. The message from the creators: no matter whatās the journey, you still end up where you begun.
The last Winchester takes Impala, salts and burns the dead, and finally drives back to Stanford, following the dream of finally doing law after the exhausting years of killing, being killed and all the side effects.
And to celebrate the beginning of his normal life, Sam hits a dog, for crying out loud.
