SPN S6 From CW

[frahulettaes]

SUPERNATURAL: Season six will be a season of mystery and shadow. Heaven and Hell have been left in complete disarray since the apocalyptic events of season five. And now, monsters, angels and demons roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape. And so Dean Winchester, who has retired from hunting and sworn never to return, finds himself being pulled back into his old life – pulled back by none other than Sam Winchester, who has escaped from Hell. The two reunite to beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn, but they quickly realize that neither are who they used to be, their relationship isn’t what it used to be, and that nothing is what it seems.

So, it starts like I said it would but without Dean being with Lisa. Fine. But, the writers have said the Apocafic was done done done. So, is the continued lawlessness the set up for finding Dog? Because that? Is still apocafic.

Grrr. Arrrg. I wish Joss were writing/directing/casting this season.

Yeah, I'm really glad we're not having to wait til mid season. The rest? I don't know. It's supposed to be a return to a "simpler time" (I'd heard), but this summary does make it sound like the end of the world kinda sorta happened. Partly. A quasi-apocalypse. Whatever.

I just came from reading a theory/hope that Dean actually died in that field, along with Bobby and Cas, and so Dean and Sam are in heaven in that last scene of 5.22. Of course they're both trying to be all self-sacrificing by letting the other alone, but there are still things to hunt in their heaven because that's a part of their souls. And then at the end of the season it turns out they've been dead all along.

Not necessarily something I'd want to see, but still vastily superior to the Dallas/Newhart "it was all a dream" scenario, IMO. (All this in reference to them going to the trouble to say in the summary "all is not as it seems.")

Yes, agreed. I like the wild west proposal with monsters out of control and the hunting becoming necessary. I'll be very surprised if they don't use my proposed opening, but it looks like they'll put Dean in a much more damaged position. I don't know. Also, I'm not fond of the move to Fridays.

[chemm80]

"Damaged" how? Because of the "sworn never to return" to hunting part? Also, I don't think anything in this precludes Dean being with Lisa when Sam shows up to get him. In fact, it kinda sounds to me like something Show would do, in that it would make it more like the Pilot if Dean actually has someone/something to leave behind when the hunting life and his brother begin to call him back. *shrugs*

[frahulettaes.livejournal.com]

I took 'sworn off hunting' to mean, seriously not re-visiting that pain and also, he just couldn't go about it without Sam. Just thoughts, not determining. But that speaks to damage to me. He's just lived through the apocofic. I think it follows, if my thoughts are close, that that sort of bitterness is not exactly conducive to home life. I wonder a bit about how much lisa would be willing to accept in her home with ben.

[chemm80]

Well, yeah. I could totally see Dean feeling like he has to get out there and do something about the crap that's going down (plus subconsciously wanting to be with Sam, his "real" family), and Lisa telling him that she can't have Ben exposed to that, that if he's going, he should "stay gone."

I posted a rec to Nothing Else Matters by heartbeatroad this morning. Did you get a chance to read it? Because I think it's one of the best codas I've seen to 5.22 and it has some soothing things to say about what next season could be, and also what PTSD Dean could be like, and how that meshes (or doesn't) with trying to have a normal life with Lisa and Ben. Very well done, and if I had any thoughts about what Lisa and Dean's home life would be like before reading it, this story blew them completely out of the water. I'm starting to think of this one as my own personal canon already.
