Hopes and fears for Supernatural Season 6

Now that Season 5 has concluded, what are the things you hope will happen in the sixth and possibly final season of Supernatural? And what are the things you wouldn't like to happen but fear may happen that season?
 
my hope is that some of the loose ends are tied up in a satafiying way(ie:bobby deal for his soul, why sams back, why ash couldnt locate the boys parents in heaven) and that it has a strong story arc and a strong ending, my fears are that it will be a letdown and feel tacked on.
 
Without knowing what they have planned for s6, I tentatively say that they need to just finish up any remaining stories and conclude the brothers' journeys. Bring their lives full circle, as it were. And the actors need to stick to their six-year deals forcing the show to end before it becomes Smallville.

That said, they may come up with something that's worth exploring for more than a season. So I stand ready to retract what I said above. But I doubt it.
 
If they take away Dean's happy ending I'm going to have to hit some motherfuckers.

Dean deserves a chance at a real life but if he gets a ready-made family that's going to drastically change the dynamic of the show, so it will be tempting to just do away with Lisa and the kid one way or another. They shouldn't do that. After all that struggle, after all that hardship, Dean deserves a little happiness.

I completely agree. But him getting that at the end of the show would have been better. Now it's an obstacle. Maybe he can just go on 'business trips' with Sam and kill things. Then be back for little league or football practice.

One thought I had was that they're going to kill off the girl, and have the season be Dean's quest to 'save' her. Which means we could have a little kid along for the ride.

I honestly don't know where the show goes from here. Without knowing what Sam's fate is, what the status of the supernatural or spiritual realm is and all that it's very hard to even hazard a guess. I assume it's mostly business as usual, with Bobby hunting Ruguru's and Dean living a seemingly normal life must mean the world is as it was. I do hope, though, there's some mention of the aftermath of the near-end of the world. As much as some TV preachers call everything a sign of armageddon, there must of been some talk of this around the world. I never got the impression any normal people were thinking this way, though.

With Sam, there's a bunch of neat possibilities. He may be returned, but maybe his experience was so bad his memory is wiped clean and he's basically starting over. Could explain his expression during that last scene. Some angel dropped him off and said, "here's your brother you don't know. Go say hello."

Or, he could have all of his memories plus some of Lucifers memories & knowledge and he knows something dangerous is afoot and vaguely how to stop it. So he goes to get Dean, but sees him happy and has reservations. He could spend a third of the season on his own, trying and failing to stop whatever. And then either Dean finds him or he is forced to go for help, etc, etc.

Dean was tired of that whole life back in season four. Maybe the start of season six could be a reversal of the pilot where Sam drags dean back into the life.
 
One thing I've been thinking about is that there are some...slight questions still raised for me from season 5 that' I'd like answered.

While I guess story wise his was complete, I'd like to know more about Jesse the anti-christ and what became of him. Not easy for boy his age to get along alone for long without adults figuring out something's wrong. Especially being chased by both demons and angels he'll have his hands full. Like I said, I KNOW his story is complete really, but I'd still like to hear more than just that he 'showed up suddenly' in Australia.

The whole threat of demons wanting Dean's had on a stick. Again, maybe it was cleared up because it was by Lucifer's orders and was really a ruse to use Dean to get Sam to say yes but I just don't see the demons letting Dean off scott free. After all he's done to their kind they should still be gunning after him even if it's not Lucifer's orders anymore. Maybe they'll be even madder because he did have a part in preventing Lucifer from taking over top-side.

Other than that? I want Sam to get his happy apple-pie life too, darn it! If Dean's earned it, so has Sam. He did save the world after all.

Jesse is a reality-warper at least on par with the archangels. No one is going to notice anything odd unless he wants them to, and he can make them unnotice fairly easily.

Really, I expected him to show up for the finale. there wasn't any point to introducing him if he wasn't going to be used in the end.
 
I just want them to stay true to Sam and Dean's characters. Don't ignore the growth that's taken place. Small and intimate like Sera Gamble said.
 
I have no idea what the writers are planning or have in store. I would have preferred the show come to an end this season but since it didn't I just would like Supernatural to not do a season long arc like in season's past and go back to season one with monsters of the week storylines but not like a lot of the ones we got this season but ones that are entertaining and not so tired with creatures that are interesting and not just a macguffin. Let's have a better balance of character and plot. Let's cut back on episodes feeling so uneven and all over the place. I'd also like for them to just get back to basics and not so much hand-wringing and angst. I think we've covered that ground extremely well and there were a lot of times this season that felt like it was becoming repetitive. I think the brothers have worked through their issues and now it is time to move passed that.

I also want them to cut out all of those damn comedies they've become enamored with. Treat it like a serious drama with a consistent tone and not this back-and-forth whiplash of parody and grim drama. Bring back the soundtracks. Don't have some earth-shattering crisis since the series will never have the budget for a large recurring cast, on location shooting, visuals, big epic episodes etc to do justice to the Idea anyway. Bring Back Loretta Devine as Missouri.

I just want to be invested and entertained with consistently good writing which I didn't think I was treated to this year. I'd like the Season One feel back in this show.
