I think this should be my last blog on the subject. I’m starting to feel calm again, regaining my composure after an emotional week following the series finale. Finding some consolation.
I have been reflecting, reading comments on fan sites, following the controversy about censorship and silencing. I’m not going to ascribe ill motives to the CW network, or argue that the principle stars of Supernatural: Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins are being manipulated and gagged with NDAs, and so forth. I’m sure Jared, Jensen and Misha are having conflicted and mixed emotions about the finale of the show. The show was a big part of their lives for a long time, and many of the fans are not happy with how the show ended.
We will see over time how things work out, and if there were any ill intent or manipulations, those will eventually come to light. The stars will eventually speak to the fans on social media and at conventions and share their feelings.
For me, I’m trying to wrap my mind around what happened with Supernatural’s finale and get a sense of closure, so I can happily go back to being a Destiel shipper without any angry feeling toward the show and those who made it. And maybe look forward to a reboot or reunion where that awful ending can be revisited.
As you know from my previous post, I wanted Dean to Live and Love Castiel, but that’s not the ending we got. So I have been thinking, why did we get the ending we got? What were the consequences of ending that way?
