Supernatural season 5 : the end

[alexandral]

I am fully back with "Supernatural" love because the season 5 was quite good. Both my daughter and I watched it with interest (and isn't it great to have someone to watch things with me - we seem to have similar tastes!!!) . To be honest, the ending of the season was quite week and very anti-climatic, but there were plenty of good episodes in the season. The best episodes for me were the ones with the Four Horsemen, and the episode 5.21, the one with Death, Pale Rider, is most definitely one of the strongest episodes of the entire series.

Death gives Dean his ring, he is not keen on Lucifer and wants him back in the cage.


This episode included one of my most favourite blue grass songs, "O Death", in a fantastic interpretation:

1. This is the actual scene that used the song (episode 5.21) from Youtube, for some reason unembeddable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1EzU9sLQ6I&feature=related

2. "Oh Death" sang by Jen Titus:

3. "Oh Death" sand by Ralph Stanley, which won him a 2002 Grammy Award in the category of Best Male Country Vocal Performance. He was 82 back then.

My daughter and I watch Supernatural, too! I'm all caught up but she's only seen through season 4. We are need to watch the season before season 6.

Thanks for the link for the O Death scene (so chilling!). I can't believe I didn't realize that's the Ralph Stanley song! Have you seen O Brother, Where Art Thou?

OMG, love the version by Jen Titus, I think I have to look into her songs, because she has a fantastic voice.

Yeah, I thought the same about the ending of s5, but I guess, considering SPN was supposed to have only 5 seasons and since Kripke & co kept telling the fans that their 5 years storyline arc was going to end by the end of s5, I think that ending was understandable. They may have tweaked the last scene in order to leave an opening for s6, which iirc, is supposed to be more like s1, more about monsters and hunting than angels and demons, which is fine by me. I keep telling myself that if SPN hadn't been renewed, they might have killed Sam off and let Dean have his semi-happy ending. I might have been happier if s5 had ended with a cliffhanger, with Sam in Hell and Dean with his new family. It seems so...anticlimatic that Sam was back. With new powers? How did he escape? Gah!

Eeee, I'm with you that that episode should've been the season finale. I can't wait for it to start up again!

I had never heard the song before I saw that ep of Supernatural, but I immediately went out and found a copy of Jen Titus' version. LOVE it.
