crowroadJust thinking about the concept of home vis a vis SPN, because while it's obviously been riding around with (rattling around, settling around) the boys for the whole run of the show: what now?
Thinking about Season 9 and the bunker as home/not home (I know, maybe I shouldn't think about that-- "Slumber Party", when the wall opened and bunker was a book opening into another book, that revisionist history of Oz.)
The bunker as a place is another conversation, or Lebanon as a place, or Lawrence, or any and all of their places at once. (This is the show that made heaven a place/places, if not necessarily a desirable one, rather than a concept. I think. Heaven as home's an old idea but I don't think that's exactly what they're saying.) Probably obvious that some of the things I love most about SPN are its places. Imaginaries, I know--Vancouveramerica. Or: their America; all those towns and cities and suburbs and exurbs and in-betweens and unincorporateds. Mostly the in-betweens, haunted or not; theirs.
But as for books opening into books: I think I would like some non-linearity with my series finale, to contain all that time and all that dimensional shifting and drifting and jumping and traveling, all those rest stops and roads, without going epic. To contain more time and space without having to show it all, if that makes sense--as an homage to all the places they've lived, and will always.
