The final scene in Don’t Call Me Shurley was one of the best I have seen in a long time on Supernatural, or perhaps on any other show. I had a feeling that the episode was going to be a good one, but I was certainly not expecting that ending at all. I am still basking in the glow that was this 20th episode of the 11th season.
I know that “basking in the glow” might seem a little extreme, or over the top, but it has been a while since I have received some major feels from a message we saw in a TV show. I am not sure what the writers intentions were with that final scene, but I can tell you what I got out of it. I don’t go to church on Sundays, but I do believe in God/higher power, and the power of prayer. We live in a very scary world, and I bet a lot of people wonder why bad/horrible things happen,or why God allows it to happen, and I certainly don’t have that answer. I honestly don’t think any of us could answer that question.
While I listened to Chuck/God say he was disappointed in what he created, and that he just gave up, it did make me wonder if that truly is the way of it. I loved how the whole scene unfolded, with Metatron telling his father not to give up on humanity, because what he created has not given up. I loved it, because it seemed to restore a faith in God in just once instance, and the look on Sam and Dean’s face said it all.
