Schmucknatural
So... Let me get this straight!!!
After turning a schmuck neurotic writer
into "God" (but it's really a... Chuck)
and making him the bad guy on top of that
(hey - once they started having angels on the show,
most of them were dicks - right?
And those weren't necessarily
the fallen ones either... ugh!)
they wrap up his (His?) story
on the penultimate episode of the series
(SEASON 15 - episode 19)
only to have something titled
"CARRY ON"
for the actual finale...
An homage to British comedy?
It felt so, at first:
with Dean (the older bro)
identifying their latest targets as
"Mimes? Vampires?
VAMPMIMES!"
and then one of them turns out to be
a returning character from the past:
Jenny - but she gets her head axed off
immediately!
But then Dean buys the farm too
(AGAIN - oh, did I forget to type
SPOILERS ALERT here?)
get this?
GOD wasn't powerful enough
but VAMPMIMES get the job done!
Episode 19 ended, actually,
with the two bros saying to themselves
(like, who else would they talk to?)
"now we are FREE. No one
writing our story. No Chuck.
We get to write it ourselves!"
Well... NO!
Some doofus named Andrew wrote
"Carry On" here...
And he followed up on big boss Kripke
and several other so-called scribes
and their horrendous imagination!
And the "Carry On" of the title
is actually swiped off the classic song
of course:
KANSAS is not the only song
desecrated for the occasion
- they also do it to some Dire Straits
and Van Morrison!
The latter's ode to ordinary life
highlights the fact that,
without some "Chuck"
writing their tale,
they couldn't last more than
ONE SINGLE EPISODE!
Is this pathetic or what -
was this unintentional,
accidental or an admission,
really and in truth...?!?
AFTER ALL...
This is the series that nearly
got the axe (like Jenny did)
after only ONE SEASON...
REMEMBER...
Season one ended with a car crash
and the two bros and their dad
looked dead - DEAD...
Some possessed truck driver
had driven his big hog
right into their precious "Baby"
and, meanwhile, network execs
were simply NOT possessed
with enthusiasm over the idea
of greenlighting this thing for renewal...
It could have ended right there.
But no - it did get renewed
-somehow-
and saved over and over again
over the course of time
and wound up lasting
fifteen long seasons as we know.
BEFORE "CARRY ON"
THE CW AIRED...
THE LONG ROAD HOME
A recap of the whole series,
basically - and the only true
return of several characters
beloved by their fans
(Mary Winchester,
the boys' dad...
Cassiel and that awful Crowley;
any show that gets people to love
a character named after Aleister
is AWFUL alright!
The only thing worse would be
an Adolf... maybe!)
and even there... EVEN THEN...
these hardcore fans were let down!
ME - I always felt let down by
Eric "Creep" Kripke -
he who claimed to have been
a lifelong fan of urban legends,
of television classics such as
the A-Team, Knight Rider, Kolchak...
He gets a chance to make a show
and explore all those interests
-including Biblical lore-
and is, for the first three seasons,
sensible and smart enough
to have a "no angels policy"
- but then he loses all good sense
and does such outrageous
things with the lore...
This last episode should have been
one thing and one thing only:
the two brothers did die
in that season one car crash.
Dad died with them.
And the 14 other seasons
were delerium as they
saw it flash before their eyes
as they were dying...
in excruciating pain.
Possessed - probably.
In the car wreck.
That would have topped
everything else seen on TV:
Bobby Ewing's return,
the infamous "dreamed season"
of Dallas' widow...
Newhart's implied
entire series imagined
in a nightmare Bob had
sleeping next to his
wife from the previous show,
Suzanne Pleshette...
All the crappy twists seen on
GOT...
EVERYTHING!
And that's the most pathetic thing of all yet...!!!
