Most rewatchable episode of season 5: and the winner is...

[caranfindel]

Closest poll yet, guys. We were within one vote of having a three-way tie. But the most rewatchable episode of season 5, by a nose, is...


The End!



It was a hard choice for me, because I love this one but I also love Swan Song so much. In the end (ha ha) The End won my vote because when I watch it, I watch all of it. In Swan Song, I tend to skip the Lucifer/Sam mirror thing. But there isn't a minute of The End that I don't want to watch: Dean breaking Sam's heart on the phone, his awkward conversation with Cas, running from Croats, Dean meeting Dean, Future!Cas meeting Dean, Samifer /o\, the adorable Dean/Cas conversation when Cas brings him back, and the reunion with Sam. It's all so good. Normally I wouldn't pick an episode with so little Sam as a favorite, but in this one, his absence is necessary and meaningful.



And I know I said this earlier, but the three leads do such an amazing job playing not quite their normal characters. Look at Jared's face. That is not Sam.



And there's the thigh holster too, which is also kind of important.







Thanks for voting!

And, to be fair, even though Sam's only in it for a few minutes, those minutes are fantastic. Jared knocks this one out of the park - it's one of my fav Sam scenes ever...it's just so good.

I was on the fence about which I loved more - this or Swan Song, and I still am. They're both so good, but this is definitely a worthy winner... :-)

Even if the rest of it were mediocre, this episode would be worthy of rewatching just for Jared's performance as Lucifer. But as it is, he's the frosting on a very, very tasty cake.
