I hope soooo! D:

Oh they did didn't they?! I'd completely forgotten about that - well, at least they corrected the errors in the ways for the other seasons. But, if they forget this season, -cries-

My thoughts exactly. I was hoping for a music in the opening last episode, but I can be alright with the fact that there wasn't as long as they have Carry On in the next. They better.

From:

I know! It seems like they haven't even really been using music lately; or maybe that's just me. :/ Butttt they BETTER BETTER BETTER have used it this time or there's gonna be quite a pissed off mob on their doorstep.

From:

It's not just you. They have used a lot less of the classic rock music lately, as far as I can tell, and really they've relied on it less all season. I don't know if it was a conscious decision, if it was "well, we're writing the Christian-Judeo apocalypse, so Journey/Blue Oyster Cult/*insert band here* really doesn't cut it..." or if it was completely by accident and sort of happened as they wrote/filmed episodes, but there's definitely been less of it. I think it's hard to find a song to fit storylines when they get this far into theological or cerebral realms. I don't know if you've ever watched Buffy (you should, you should, it's beyond amazing *waves tiny flag and refrains from going totally psycho over it*), but whenever they headed towards their season's end apocalypses, the use of non-original music tended to fade away, and then if they DID choose to use a song at the very end, it had that much more impact.

Have I ever mentioned that I ramble a lot?

kaythen. :D

Um, so yes. I think you're right. But maybe they're saving a killer song for the finale. Or maybe they're just going to satisfy us by using Carry On. Because THEY MUST.

<3

From:

Yeah I was actually just talking about lack of music in the beginning clips montage but now that you mention it I do notice also a lack of rock songs played, overall. Mostly now it's just show-made music. Regardless the reason, I still miss it and I really hope they go back to using more in Season6. [If they don't I'll also be sadface.]

I do understand though - the song has to kind of fit the theme or whatever of the episode and I'm sure it'd be hard to find songs that fit this kind of realm of..weird? I dunno haha. I still miss all those songs though - rewatching old eps only further accentuates it more about how little they're using now.

[I've actually never, ever watched Buffy. It was on in the 90's right? Yeah, I wasn't even ten yet. :p]

I understand that impact thing! I think when we hear Carry On we're all just going to go WOOOOOOOOOOOO HELLS YES! haha at the return of the Show - in a respect.

It's just..it's tradition ya know? They better not have forgotten! In fact even now whenever I watch a finale from a previous season I ALWAYS watch the beginning clips to hear that song. [When going from season 1 I'd forgotten it was in Salvation and not the finale so when I went back through to watch that finale clip thing I was all D: NOOOOOO haha. But, now I remember they did indeed use it, just not in the finale.]

Have you ever noticed how much I ramble, too? ;] It's all good, we both ramble.

THEY MUST USE CARRY ON; THEY MUUUUUUUUUUUSTTTTTTTTT! It's part of the finale I'm also looking forward to! THE TRADDITTIIOONN! lol

From:

I still miss all those songs though - rewatching old eps only further accentuates it more about how little they're using now. SAME.

I didn't watch Buffy when it was on. At first, I was too young, and then I just thought it was stupid. In 2008, I caught a few episodes of Angel on TNT and was surprised by how much I liked it, and a friend of mine here (who is incredibly intelligent and whose taste I trust implicitly) went, "YOU NEED TO WATCH BUFFY." And I was like, "Ehhhh, I don't really want to? I don't know if I'd like it? I like stories that center more on boys than girls?" And she basically went, "STFU and watch it." So I gave it a chance. And fell so completely in love with it that it will always out-rank SPN for me now (and saying that? is huge and srs bsns for me). The first season is a little silly and cheesy because they didn't know quite what kind of a show they wanted to make, and even the second can be until about halfway through. Then it just...transformed itself into this very epic journey about heartbreak and finding your place in the world and trusting your inner strength and fighting off all the monsters (literal, but mostly metaphorical) that life throws at you. More than anything it's about growing up. It's such a beautiful, smart show and Joss Whedon is a complete genius in the way he managed to craft all of it. In its lower points (and over seven season, there are some), and at its most transcendent, it's the best use of supernatural themes to cover real life struggles and hurt and triumph that I've seen. And frankly, if it wasn't for Buffy? We wouldn't have Supernatural, we wouldn't have Dean and Sam. I think her path made it possible for the Winchesters to be successfully put on TV. ANYWAY, I could really write a thesis on how much I love BtVS but look at how much I've already spammed your journal. xDDD

Meanwhile, I now find it very necessary to go play Carry On.

From:

Spamming is totally fine, bb! I literally have nothing else to do so reading your comments/replying to them is how I'm spending my afternoon - which is totally fine! ;]

I will definitely need to give it a try then! I've heard soooo much about it but just never thought to actually watch it, myself. I may have seen a few eps in passing, now that I think about it, but never none in full. It sounds like my kind of show though.
Heh, if I do ever watch it I already know it won't surpass SPN for me - I think no show could do that - at least for a while. The love I feel for this show is so great and AMAZING that imagining any other show getting that love is just unimagineable.

I do too, now! haha Unfortunately the only copy I have of it is kind of a bad one. :/

From:

Bweeee. That's how I'm spending my afternoon too. :D

I think Buffy is a good way to circumvent Winchester withdrawals. *nodnod* I always feel like I'm over-selling it because I love it so much. You still got monsters and some hot guys. hehe. if I do ever watch it I already know it won't surpass SPN for me. I completely understand that and it's kind of funny because I'd never done a re-watch of SPN, so most of the episodes I've only seen once when they aired live, and having that span of distance changed my perspective a little bit. I'm re-watching it for the first time right now (I'm almost done with S2) and it's inching it's way higher and higher in my heart again. I think I've had some trouble with the writing and OOCness that's happened on occasion in SPN, but the boys? As I'm re-watching it, I'm remembering why I used to always say SPN was my favorite show ever. I love these boys. Such ridiculous, enormous amounts deep in my heart and I'm sure it's unhealthy in some way, but I think you totally understand what I mean. The boys are everything when it comes to SPN and I really think I'll never love any characters the same way I love the Winchesters.

(I can send you a high quality copy if you'd like.)

From:

I feel like I oversell SPN. xD I know, like every show, it has its plotholes and flaws but by the way I talk about it you'd think it was God incarnate on a tv show. I love it so much I'm just able to overlook all the little issues. [Not that it has a ton, at least to me.]

Yeah, IMO, you really need to see the old episodes first if you ever decide to watch the show because that's when it's really shown how much the boys care for each other and how much they mean to the other. [It's obvious still in more subtler ways nowadays but it was REALLY apparent back then and, IMO, you're missing so much if you don't see those.]
[Oh S2, my fave! I always cry at the end of AHBL and beginning of AHBL Pt 2. Every single time. :( ]

I do agree that this season the writers have made them a little OOC at times, but I think it's just because we have new writers who aren't fully aware of the show [like us ~~fanatics~~ fans are] but with Sera coming in big next season I have high hopes since she's been there all along. ;]

Oh God I understand you so much, no explanation needed. Before SPN I have NEVER loved a show this much, ever. [Well, I digress, I did for American Idol s8, last year, but that was a reality show so it doesn't count. ADAM LAMBERT FOREVAAAAAA!] So just the fact that I am SO in love with one now is really new to me [specially since I'm a rather new fan of the show, as well] and I'm not used to adoring fictional characters so much that I literally cry when they feel pain or laugh when they're happy. To me - and I'm sure as it is to j2 - they're real people and I dont want to see them get hurt or go through rough times [but with SPN, unfortunately that's pretty much all they go through :p] but be happy.
I just...adore those two boys so much on such a highly ridiculous level that even I know it's ridiculous. My dad used to give me grief about it but I think he's starting to get used to it. It's like "Yes, I know they're not real and yes I know they're not really going through that but STILL!" And
I don't care what anyone says - I have never seen a show anywhere or time where two characters love each other so much that they would literally sell their soul for the other in a heartbeat. That, right there, is why I love them so much; because of their complete and utter committment to each other and for family itself.

/longwinded

Oh that would be awesome! I would really appreciate that. :D

From:

The old episodes are the foundation of the show. They had fun back then. They researched things and traveled around and snarked and really had to prove how much they loved one another. Not that I don't appreciate the Apocalypse storyline, because I do, but I miss that sometimes. I miss the way they sparkled with life at the beginning. The show has spent so long torturing them and I really want next season to give the boys some happiness. They deserve it at this point, damn it! xD

(I had forgotten how amazing S2 was. I'd actually forgotten a lot of it in general, a lot of detail other than the over-arching plotline. I guess that happens when years go by and you watch a ton of other stuff in the interim? lol. So it's really like seeing some of it with brand new eyes and I'm just loving it SO.VERY.MUCH. And I understand crying because I am an enormous weepy.)

I have a lot of faith in Sera. *nodnod*

I've never watched AI. xD But I tend to become a fan by osmosis of contestants later, and Adam Lambert is.really.amazing.

I'm not used to adoring fictional characters so much that I literally cry when they feel pain or laugh when they're happy. Oh honey. Welcome to my WORLD. I've been doing this with fictional characters for a long time. When I connect with something I tend to feel it so deeply that it becomes a part of me, and that's actually really cool because you'll never lose it. Those feelings will stay with you (or at least they always have for me and you seem similar in that way), and no matter how far you travel from it or what happens in your real life, when you need to feel that or need to find it again, it's always going to come right back to you. When someone criticizes someone else for connecting in a complete emotional, soul-affecting way with a fictional story, they've just never had the wonderful experience of feeling that way, and that's a shame, because it's kind of a miracle. ♥

Carry On (http://www.mediafire.com/?omjdo5d3xqz). Tell me if for some reason it doesn't work. :D

From:

I know, I feel the same way. I loved those beginning episodes with MOTW and just driving around having real no set plan. I miss that aspect of the show. I, too, like the Apocalypse storyline fine ~~would like it better if it werent for Castiel~~ but I'll be SO glad when it's over with this season.

(Yes! S2 is the best, at least to me. My ultimate favorite season ever. I adore a lot of episodes in other seasons, of course, but as far as storyline and just overall greatness, for me S2 takes the cake.)

Me too! I think she can really do this great and I don't understand why so many people are nervous about it.

xDD I normally don't watch it either! But by some chance I saw advertising for S8 and went "hey, I've got nothing else going on, might as well watch" and my God I'm so glad I did. -miracle-

I mean, I'm like that with celebs but SPN is the first show that this has ever happened to me with. It's all so new to me, feeling so strongly for characters that aren't even real. I'm not complaining though! I really love it - most of the time. haha[Of course I cry at movies and all that but it's not exactly the same thing.]
I know what you mean, just this morning I squee'ed "ONE MORE DAY I'M SO NERVOUS!" to my dad and he goes "It's just a tv show, remember it's just a tv show." I just kinda 0.o at him and "You don't understand." lol Which he doesn't; I'm so completely enamoured with that show and those boys and I dont even think he fully understands it. In fact I know he doesn't. It it something magical though - when something fictional is able to pull you in and drag you down and in with it. I love that feeling now. <3

Ohh it did work; thanks so much! :D

They're gonna use it.

The better use it.

OMG what if they don't use it?! D:

They have to use it.

*wibbles*

From:

:D

:/

D:

*nods!*

If they don't use it I will seriously start crying. And I don't need to be crying anymore than I know I will be - and that'll just be the opening sequence! lol I'm only worried because it seems we have some new writers this year [hence some OOC-ness on the boys behalf at times] and I'm praying that if they get a new whoever-does-the-opening-clips that he at least KNOWS the tradition. -wibbles with you-

From:

wutendeskind.livejournal.com

Is there a reason we're worried about it? I don't think we have to worry.

From:

Because worrying is who I am; it's what I do. :p

Mainly the worry is because they don't seem to be using songs in the beginning clips montage much anymore - just hoping they dont forget, is all. ;]

From:

canyon_deye.livejournal.com

They'll totally remember it! :D There's no finale for SPN without Carry On My Wayward Son <3 omg even thinking about that song is making me super excited for the finale!

From:

THEY BEETTTERRRR! :|

I AM TOO! ONLY TWO MORE DAYS NOW I'M GETTING SO STOKED! -dies-

From:

They've actually used it every season, it's just in S1 it was episode 21 rather than 22. And I've been in love with them using it since then, because you are absolutely right, it's so perfect and it just...feels right when they use it at the end. I'm sure they probably will. Why break with a tradition they know most of the fans love?

From:

I knoowww I'd totally forgotten that. -smacks self-

But it is! I don't know what exactly it is - probably the lyrics duurrr - but it just fits Show so much! It's like...made for Supernatural, I think.

PLEASE LET THEM HAVE REMEMBERED, PLEEASSEEE!

AMEN.

I WILL CRY IF THEY DON'T !!! D:

SAME HERE. AND MY DAD'LL GO 'OH GREAT, CRYING BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS.' LMAO

[Love your icon, too. xD Yellow Fever is one of my favorite eps ever.]

From:

HAHAHA YOU NEED TO SAVE YOUR TEARS FOR THE END!

[Thanks! I LOVE that episode, too. :D]

From:

xD I AM NOT GOING TO CRY UNTIL THURSDAY SO I CAN SAVE UP ENOUGH TEARS TO JUST SERIOUSLY GO WILD. LMAO. Funny thing is that I specifically asked my dad to take those hours off of work - for a bday present - to stay home and watch it with me so I won't be alone and he is, so when I told him I'm probably going to be all emotional he goes -_______- at me. xD [He hates it when I get all emotional crying-like. :p]

[It's one of the greatest. Hurt!Dean to the max. -loves on-]

From:

Awwwwww. Your poor dad! LOL At least he can hug you and try to make you feel all better when it's over. I can only imagine what Kripke is about to do with us. *head desk*

[YAY HURT!DEAN!]

From:

Hopefully. Either that or he'll just ignore me and go straight to work. xDDD [Which is probably what he'll do.]

Oh god I don't even want to think about it!....Nvm I totally do! -squees- It's gonna be bad/sad though, I can feel it.

From:

LOL I'm sorry. XD

I can feel it, too. GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

From:

venacavaa.livejournal.com

Amen.

If they don't use it, Season Five will essentially not exist for me.

There is no other song that fits Supernatural so well or that I, personally, associate so strongly with the show.

When I hear that song, no matter where, some kind of Supernatural montage plays through my mind. I'm so ~~lame~~ badass like that.

From:

;]

Same. It's partly what, to me, makes the finale. It's just so much apart of the show now that not using it is essentially sacrilegious to all that is Show. To me, anyway. /drama queen

ARE YOU ME?! I do that too! Every single time I hear that song [and a few others] I always associate it with SPN and little clips of different episodes run through my head.

From:

scorpiod1.livejournal.com

AGREED! If they dont' use it, I will cry sad single perfect tears. ;__;

On that note, I really miss all the classic rock in this show. Like the end of Nightshifter, that rock so hard when I first saw it :)

From:

JUST LIKE DEAN! D: But yeah, me too.

I do too! I hope they start using them more again S6.
Oh God yes, I still rock out at that part whenever I watch the episode. :p

From:

written-within.livejournal.com

Oh, I hope they do. I'm quite positive they'll use it, it's just a MUST and it means so much to the show. Kinda like how you can't hear "Back in Black" without envisioning the Impala. XD And I've noticed the lack of classic rock this season too. I do understand though, with the dark Apocalypse and all those songs just don't fit the mood, but with the speculations of S6 "going back to basics", hopefully we'll hear that beloved music again!

OMG TWO MORE DAYS!!!

From:

I'm pretty sure they will too but there's a little part of me that maybe thinks they forgot. xD
I realy hope they go back to using more rock songs in S6 too! -starts praying-

I KNOW OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! /dies

From:

savedean.livejournal.com

I would LOVE that. That song, plus the show together, my god. The effect it has on me still hasn't worn off <3
