Alpha and Omega

I have to say this season season 11 finale was an absolute pleasure to watch, as was the balance of the season. In Alpha and Omega, the most enjoyable was the entire principal cast interacting in close quarters. The writers must have had a blast. It was both hysterical and touching in a way that wasn't soapy, overly melodramatic or trite. Authentic I guess. Real and appreciated given the series often tongue-in-cheek disposition. While I have never been a big fan of all the heaven vs hell thing, preferring instead the monster of the week format, I cannot get over how well the writers pulled this off. Without giving away anything specific, I can tell you that if you've ever been a fan of the show and it's colorful cast of characters, this episode will not disappoint.

I have no clue why people seem to like season 11. It's total crap, not to mention just flatly blasphemous and poorly written.

I loved this, after 11 years it was a good idea to have a different kind of resolution to the big bad. The penultimate episode was more in line with the traditional 'big final battle' kind of finale, while this gave us something that isn't seen as often: a peaceful resolution where everybody walks away and nobody has to die (well, we know that, but it looks like the characters will have to wait a bit to find out that everybody has survived).

It was actually a pretty beautiful resolution that tied in well with the show's overarching themes of family and redemption. But that's not to say that it didn't still have high stakes and tension, because it certainly did. In fact, the stakes were probably the highest they've been since they boys' first Apocalypse back in season five.

And of course, despite the peaceful resolution to the season's arc, they still managed to set up the next season with a few dangling threads. We've got a potential new threat coming and one of the most shocking, out of left-field surprise cliffhangers that we've ever seen.

Overall, I think this was a pretty solid season with an interesting finale (even if the previous episode was the more epic of the two episodes - I'd definitely recommend thinking of them as a two-part package deal). I can't wait to start on season 12!

Supernatural reached a point that dug into a very primordial, pre-biblical, existential issue. God vs Darkness, creation vs nothingness, yin and yang etc... One can't go on without the other. In addition, fans know supernatural a little to well a little too much and they just want to see their ending. It is very hard -impossible- to transfer the vague idea of creation, genesis, and "the beginning" on to the small screen. I believe they did a good job, it was a great season, not perfect, not a 10 but hey...:

"Endings are hard. Any chapped-a$$ monkey with a keyboard can poop out a beginning, but endings are impossible. You try to tie up every loose end, but you never can. The fans are always gonna b!tch. There's always gonna be holes. And since it's the ending, it's all supposed to add up to something. I'm telling you, they're a raging pain in the a$$."

The writers were true to the ridiculous set-up from previous episode. I just don't know how much of this Series I will watch of Season 12. Technically speaking I should NOT continue to watch any of it. I started watching in the first place to see how this series managed to have 15 Seasons in the first place?? I thought I had a few Seasons ago. Just trying to figure out what the writers were hoping to accomplish in the form of entertainment. The whole God/Chuck, Lucifer/Castiel, Amara, Metatron characters were an out of the fantasy realm of absurdity.
