SPN season finale - to freak out or not to freak out - that is the question

[agt_spooky]

I know I said my LJ was going to be a spoiler free zone specifically for the two-part season finale, and it's still going to be, but I have to ask a question.

I've seen just general comments about the spoilers that have been released. No one's given away anything that's in front of a cut, but people seem to be completely and totally freaking out and not really in a good way. And it's really making me nervous and making my willpower start to crumble.

I can't give in! I can't! So I'm asking you, those of you who have read the spoilers - is fandom in general going to hate the finale because of what spoilers have been released so far - or is everyone freaking out for nothing? What's your opinion? Can you put my mind at ease or should I be worried?

I don't know that fandom is going to hate the finale, per se--but we're going to HATE LIKE HELL the wait between the finale and S3x01. Heh. And all freaking out, I think, will be justified. (On fandom's part, that is.)

Hey, nice icon. [wink]

but we're going to HATE LIKE HELL the wait between the finale and S3x01

See, now that's cool! That's what a season finale should be like - leaves you wanting more immediately. Though I thought that Kripke was wrapping up the "special children" story line. Makes me wonder what the ending of the finale is going to be now!

Ok, I feel a little better now. :-)

I don't think the fandom will hate the finale, but I bet that waiting for Ep22 will kill us all.

Said that, I totally trust Kripke!

*hugs*

Given the dynamic of the show, I'd say you shouldn't worry. However, I broke down and looked at the spoiler (if it's the one I think you're talking about) and I'm totally freaked. I know they'll make it work, but da-amn.

Depending on what is freaking people out be part of episode 2.21 or 2.22, people will be freaking out for a week or a few months, but only to know how they'll solve that.
But I honestly don't think this is the "I hate this show" kind of thing, but more along the lines of OMG! thing.

Yeah, I went back and re-read the spoiler--and I didn't realize when I first read it, that the season finale was going to be a 2-parter. So. Still don't know/think we'll hate the final ep, but waiting will be a bitch... *g*

Believe it or not, I've decided to stay away from the spoilers too. (CHRISTO! Nope, still me.) And it was precisely because someone on another board read the spoiler and posted that she wished she hadn't, so I thought, "Hey, it's only 3 months, I can wait it out."

But this is the exact same question I had about it, so thanks SO much for asking!

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Ah, so the spoiler everyone is freaking out about is actually from ep. 21 and not ep. 22. Interesting! Well, at least we'll only have to wait a week to see how it's resolved, and not months until next fall. Because yes, we all know SPN is coming back for season 3!

I've got faith in Kripke, too, so if you say that as well, it's putting my mind at ease. Thank you!

and I'm totally freaked. I know they'll make it work, but da-amn.

Ah, crap this is killing me! LOL! Ok, so the spoiler that you read, is it for ep. 21 or 22?

Ok, phew! Thank you! I'm kinda confused now, as I thought this giant spoiler that everyone was freaking out about was from ep. 22, but now it sounds like it's really from ep. 21. I'm hoping that it's from ep. 21, so we only have a week to wait to see how it all turns out!

[jellicle.livejournal.com]

It's not clear yet if this is going to be a scene from 2.21 or 2.22, so until we have it clear, or until the episode airs will have to wait on the edge of our seats.
I personally can't wait!

Believe it or not, I've decided to stay away from the spoilers too

WHAT?? After you were teasing me about it?? Christo!! LOL!

But this is the exact same question I had about it, so thanks SO much for asking!

You're welcome! Are you following the responses here?

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

AH! No wonder people are freaking out! No one knows if we'll be waiting a week or months to find out the resolution. Great, now I'm nervous, too, and I don't even know what's going to happen! LOL!

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

I don't it for sure but Kripke said he didn't want cliffhanger in the finale of the season. So I guess that whatever will happen in ep21 (and I'm spoiled about it), will be fixed (or at least our boys will be able to be in S3) in ep22.

Yes we'll have S3.

*hugs*

[dairwendan.livejournal.com]

Yep, I am.

I feel better too.

[dolimir-k.livejournal.com]

I believe it's 21, which is the only reason I'm not totally freaking.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

don't it for sure but Kripke said he didn't want cliffhanger in the finale of the season.

Right, I'd heard the same thing, so it sounds like this spoiler will be in ep 21. Which is good!

will be fixed (or at least our boys will be able to be

Wait, what?? Our boys are broken and need to be fixed? Good lord, you're not making it easy for me to NOT read that spoiler! LOL!

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, this must really be a doozy, if people are worried about how this is going to be "fixed" and everyone hoping that it's in ep 21 so we don't have to wait till next fall to see the resolution. :-)

[anakin415.livejournal.com]

If its true.... and what some think will happen does.... I will have a special hatred for my man Kripke. I love him and will love to hate him as well.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

ARGH! See! Your reaction is what I've been seeing! He must do something really awful to the boys, is all I can think, if people are having this kind of freak out over it.

Great. Now I'm worried all over again!

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

The boys are always broken and in need to be fixed :DDD

I am also remaining as spoiler-free as I can (and man, has it been tempting, omg!), but I do recall in a Sera Gamble (I think) interview from awhile back that she mentioned that she had written the first part of the season finale (ep. 21) and that Eric had written the second (ep. 22), and that the wait between the first and second parts would be horrible for us. So ... hearing that we're all going to go crazy over ... whatever-the-hell it is that everyone's talking about isn't really shocking. *whimpers*

Thank god that the final two episodes are the weeks right AFTER finals week for me, otherwise, I would probably die of stress from the combination of SPN and academia, lol.

I took a peek at the spoiler and wow, I'm so HAPPY I did. Now it's like, I need to see this ep NOW! I think that at least one fanfic that has already been written will come true in this ep! So exciting :)

[anakin415.livejournal.com]

I am sorry, lets just hope its all wrong because I wouldnt want to put a time line on things here then again... we knew it would be coming.

I think I gave too much away if I did sorry

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

A timeline and we knew it would be coming? Hmmm...the only thing I can think of that would fit is that this time Dean really does make a deal with The Demon to get John back, therefore giving Dean ten years to live.

Ok, I need to see this episode right the hell NOW! I can't take the suspense anymore! LOL!
