So you know how I said I'd stop talking about politics eventually?

[apocalypsos]

Okay, first go look at that.

I CANNOT DEAL, I SWEAR TO GOD. IN A GOOD WAY.

Look, here's the thing. I get why a lot of people don't want Sam to go evil, I do. But I want him to go evil SO MUCH. For many, many, maaaany reasons. These include:

1. Sam is hot when he's evil.
2. Sam is hot when he's pissed off.
3. Sam is hot when he's using his powers.
4. Dean is hot when his heart is breaking.
5. Dean is hot when he's pissed off.
6. Dean is hot when he's kicking ass.

That's pretty much the superficial overview of a bunch of other more intellectual reasons like how much I enjoy conflict in fiction and how much I like it when creators and authors get heavily into the "go big or go home" philosophy of storytelling and a lot of other things that just ... look, I'm just dying for Sam to go evil. Waaaaant. *grabbyhands*

And okay, I'm torn, because there is a part of my brain that wants it because I want to see Dean hauling Sam back from the abyss in the end or whatever, and yet there is a LARGE part of my brain that would have absolutely no problems if the series were to end with Sam the Big Evil Cheese in Hell, cackling evilly as Dean is all dead and the world is ending and whatnot.

I am such a bad fan, I swear to God. *hangs head*

A big part of me wants to see Sam as the big cheese in Hell with Dean as his sex slave, but I guess we'll have to settle for what they'll actually do on TV.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I've come to accept that TV will never give me what I want when it comes to series finales, which is inevitably, "Rocks fall, everybody dies!" I think I could even root for that ending for certain seasons of Top Chef and Project Runway.

That is totally the finale I want for Heroes. Or even the next ep.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Well, hell, at least one of the four million apocalypses they keep threatening us with should actually happen sooner or later. Theoretically, at least. *grumbles*

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

If you hear a threat too often without actually seeing it deployed, it's hard to care anymore.

SPN has earned its apocalyptic threat by not overusing it.

Ever see Sledge Hammer!? You'd likely be happy with its first season finale. (When it unexpectedly got renewed, the producers had to claim Season Two was all flashback...)

THIS. \o/

Not only are you not a bad fan, you're my HERO. This is the only storyline that would save the show from utter repetitive, predictable mediocrity in the end. Just as your version of the last ep of "Dexter", season one, was the rightful ending of that show - and IS, forevermore.
In short, Kripke better hire you as a writer, yesterday. In fact, why don't you apply for the job. Pretty please?

1. Sam is hot when he's evil.
2. Sam is hot when he's pissed off.
3. Sam is hot when he's using his powers.
4. Dean is hot when his heart is breaking.
5. Dean is hot when he's pissed off.
6. Dean is hot when he's kicking ass.

THIS. I have so many reasons beyond those why I went to see Dean vs. Sam, but those factor in.

Speaking of evil!Sam, what do you think that little glimpse of yellow-eyed Sam was at the very end there? My friends swear it's just a hold over from Dean's hallucinations, because Sam had just asked what he saw. Me, I'm reserving judgment, because I want evil!Sam so badly.

I must be a terrible fan as well since I completely agree.

Plus I'm a sucker for a good redemption arc and going total darkside and having to come back for that on top of all of Sam's other issues? Dude. That is just an evil cherry on top of the evil free-for-all sundae.

I think, having looked at that post, that I am ahead of the curve with my "supernatural is trying to kill me" tag.

At this point I'm not sure if there's any way this plot could go that I wouldn't like, but I'm probably going to jinx myself.

I could NOT agree more. Evil Sam is so ridiculously brilliant and you can just SEE how much Jared loves playing it, his whole demeaner just changes and he RELISHES it. I can't WAIT for some hot evil Sam.

[goodbyebird]

My Sam icons seem to agree with you ;)

In my head, Sam dies during the series finale and Dean is left standing, only he has to take care of Sam's kid. I swear I've got no clue how that squirmed its way into my brain, but there you have it.

There's something to be admired to the 'rock falls, everyone dies' approach, but most people just don't go for that. I guess the closest I've seen, was the Angel season 5 finale. That came with a big, fat rubber stamp saying "WE'RE FUCKED".

[fyrdrakken]

Also Blake's 7, which is by now fannish code for "everyone dies in the series finale." But that's decades old, and British, so not quite as widely known.

Oh, man, I want Sam to be evil SO MUCH. Provided that the show actually follows through, of course, but they've been promising it to us for YEARS, and Sam is AMAZING when he's about to killinate people.

Yeah. I'm a bad fan, too.
