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.
