SPN Finale Poll (Short and without spoilers)

[ht_murray]

I've been reading a few finale speculation threads. I'll be honest, none of the theories will make me a happy camper, but that's beside the point. The thing that worries me the most about some of these ideas is that they expect the season 5 finale to end on a cliffhanger.

Please, say it ain't so!

Honestly, at this point, I just want the show I've been hanging with for 5 seasons to tie things up so I finally know what happens to the characters I'm invested in. I don't want the emotional espionage of a cliffhanger, but I suppose it's still possible. I was really hoping the finale would tie up all the major plot points with regards to, at least, Dean and Sam, at the end of the finale so we could start fresh next season. Am I the only one who was expecting/hoping for that?

What do y'all think? Will it end on a cliffhanger or will things be pretty much neatly tied up? I'm thinking I'd prefer a season 2 type finale, but this isn't about what you'd prefer. It's more, what do you think we'll get? Has anyone heard from TPTB that it's gonna be a cliffie?

I'm leaving the comment box open if you want to express your feelings, but please, if you're going to include spoilers, put that in your subject line, thanks.

I'm the only one to vote so far? LOL

The finale will probably tie up the apocalypse storyline but leave us hanging when it comes to what happened to Sam and Dean. That's what I think, anyway. I mean, Kripke might be jumping ship but he's still an evil bastard, right?

Are you spoiled?

I'm expecting cliffie as this has been the MO and I think K. may really want his our heroes going out in blaze of glory moment. Being SPN they have numerous ways to bring them back. I just really don't want Dean/Lisa next season and I suspect we may get that, but really it's all speculation.

One of the things that has kept me coming back is the constant surprise. No matter the speculation show has managed to add twists I could not see from miles away. This is a rare thing for me in any show.

After this Season, I don't trust these writers as much as I can throw them so I'm definitely taking what they said about wrapping up this storyline with a grain of salt. And obviously, things had to be reconfigured for a Season 6 but I still think they will actually tie up this five-year plot. And that would mean no cliffhanger from it.

So, what I'm imagining is them leaving something open for Season 6 on a much smaller scale. Say, Horseman Death still being out there. Or, Bobby's soul at risk. Something that carries over but is separate from the apocalypse/Lucifer.

At least that would be my spec.

I'd like a season two-esque ending; one that ties up the apocalypse crap and let's us know what's coming in season 6, but I have a feeling it will be a cliffe:(

I'm voting both!! I think the season 5 arc will be finished, but the aftermath of it will be a cliffhanger. Like, where do we go from here?

I'm praying for no loose ends. Because if it's a cliffie, it's going to be the cliffiest cliffie in all Cliffiedom and I don't think my heart could take it!

At this point, I don't think I'd be biting my nails over a cliffie. Don't think I'm invested enough for that to happen anymore. Seems a bit like I'm just going through the motions with show, waiting to see how it ends and what will happen to the characters I once fell in love with. The last few episodes have been wonderful for me and I've really enjoyed them but I've also begun to watch in a more a causal way in which I don't focus too much on them getting the characters, plot or continuity right. This probably sounds weird but I actually find the characters to rather, I'm not sure, flat? Not flat, but like something is missing that was there before (perhaps it's the quality of the writing that has gone down)...

Uhm, the point... the point is, well, the points is that I love the characters because I used to love them and I love the show because I used to love it and, while I'm happy to be watching, I don't think I care deeply enough to be bothered by a cliffie. I'm completely spoilerfree but I'm hoping for it to be tied up. In some ways it might seem a bit rushed (due to the fact that they pulled the whole "random plot point" twist two episodes ago) but on the hand they've been dragging this storyline out forever and I don't really see where they can go with it from this point. It needs to be over so that we can start fresh. It's tired. Plus, I've heard gossiping about the show not returning till next year, so a cliffie would be annoying. Also, starting fresh creates more incitement for new viewers to join. Conclusion: No idea.

Wow, sorry for going on about nothing. I've been studying for exams all day and my brain is mush :/

I voted with what I think will happen rather than what I want to happen, especially based on how much it seems like they still need to cover in so little time.

Honestly, I don't know.
On the one hand, I love evol cliffies. On the other hand, Show rarely delivers after, so...
The thing is, I have no idea how they're going to keep going after the Apocalypse... *shrugs*

I truly hope that we'll get our brothers of seasons 1 to 3 back. I want it so bad it's not even funny.
