can’t say i disagree about some of this… especially the michael dean. i’m interested to see where that goes, but i agree it didn’t feel like they adequately laid the groundwork for dean’s decision (though honestly i felt the same way about dean killing death or whatever a few seasons ago). all the meta writers were talking about it throughout the season, but i still didn’t really see the “hints”… how would a casual viewer feel about the finale if they don’t have (1)

the benefit of reading the meta writers who predict and harp on why/how/whatever of dean saying yes weeks before hand? (2/2)

I think about this, too. In some respects, it’s an easy prediction to make because as soon as they showed Michael and his wasteland world you could probably guess he wanted out. But at the same time I really hate things that are “shocking twists” just for the sake of shocking twists. In my opinion, meta should be a supplement. It should be there so you can get a better understanding of references that were made or how themes were laid out or things you might’ve missed. You should’ve have to rely on it to understand where the story is going or make a guess as to what’s ahead. I don’t know how casual viewers feel about the season 13 finale, but my inclination is that it probably felt like it was out of nowhere. 

And I totally agree with you on the killing Death thing. The didn’t do very well with building up Dean’s loss of control imo. If they did that better, summoning Death and killing him would’ve made more sense.

I don’t like the Dabb era. I just really, really don’t. I don’t see why so many people in a certain circle seem to think he’s some kind of genius when he drops plot threads all the time and bumbles his way through the B-plot and saves all the ammo for the end. Like… it’s just freaking lazy imo. Michael and Dean should’ve met waaay earlier in the season for the finale to have any impact. Yeah, we’re getting something we were kinda introduced to seasons ago, but there should have been more build up to Dean actually saying yes instead of it just happening right at the end. Jack’s storyline just kinda… fell apart. I get they wanted to go with a nature v nurture thing but they didn’t have the juevos to do it so Jack stayed pretty static and that was… meh. Don’t get me wrong, I like Jack, but he stayed a cuddly little baby and hasn’t grown. I wanna see him grow. Asmodeus was a total failure as a plot. He did nothing interesting and the poor actor got stuck chewing scenery the whole time. And all this doesn’t even touch the fact that they whole BMoL thing is still, technically, unresolved because congrats they got driven out of the country but they still exist and are still doing exactly the same thing they had been. Has saving the world become “saving the world only if it’s in America because anything else is hard and we don’t have the frequent flier miles”? 

So yeah. Not a fan of Dabb era.
