Roman 2,860 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thanks for having me @A Gaga Lad I quit watching the show in the middle of season 9. I remember seeing the teaser for the next episode and thinking, well, this is the point where I can't bear this nonsense anymore. I agree on every word about Eve and Abaddon. Amazing female characters who were put in a trashbin too soon. Especially the former. I still follow the show though, reading spoilers. The final thing about Death I read made me happy I had stopped watching because I'd literally punch through the screen if I saw that. He was the most haunting character of the show whose first appearance in season 5 in that car still gives me motherfuсking goosebumps, truly. God's return and that Darkness woman hyped me pretty well but the season finale made me go meh. I still love seasons 1—5 immensely, and I really need to rewatch them 'cause I saw them in winter 2012, like, I stormed through five seasons in two weeks or so... I was the biggest fan, I'd follow Jensen Ackles until he loved me (sorry ) Wow, a simple gif made me soo fuсking nostalgic. Sorry for this little ranty post ahaha mdr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miel 15,009 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Yeah. Eve was set up as this amazing character, but... like... ??? Also, there was so much potential narrative connectivity with the Leviathan, and they just let that go. Eeeeep 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bye 3,947 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm in the minority here who liked how the Darkness storyline ended. I mean throughout the entire season I was like: she hasn't done anything bad why are Sam and Dean working to defeat her? That is until she started killing and revealed she wanted to destroy the universe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's too much like Hellblazer/Constantine--a major inspiration for Supernatural Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is most definitely NOT apocalypse end of world material Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the emotional climax somewhat made up for it. Jus in Bello and No Rest for the Wicked had more exciting fights the Darkness fight just felt hollow to me especially when the combined angel smiting did less damage than some dozen demons physically attacking Amara. I wish they took more notes down from Buffy's fight/assault scenes. Whedon really knew how to do them. Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I'm currently rewatching Buffy and Angel with my boyfriend (he's watching both for the first time) and the fights with powerful baddies aren't the best either. My boyfriend always says: "that's it?" I justify it by the TV format and low budgets (unlike something like Game of Thrones). What SPN and shows like Buffy should be focused on is the emotional climax as you mentioned which was really done well in S5. In these series an emotional payoff is important as big budget supernatural CGI fights are close to impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Initiative, battle against Glory and against the First Evil (Buffy), and the Beast, Circle of the Black Thorn (Angel) were amazing though but I know what you mean about budget Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
