Well I'm a bit of an emotional wreck. Let me just say I never cared for Jo and I was always mostly indifferent on Ellen.

So in the entire scene from where Jo was all about sacrificing herself and Ellen didn't just put her foot down I was like NO! No, no fucking WAY would that woman do that.

Which just made her sacrificing herself too so much worse. She knew from the moment Jo was clearly dying that she was just going to go ahead and die, too.

Idk, man, I have never cried over this show before--and I have some serious effing investment in it as anyone who's reading this should know--but I've had to turn the episode off for now and just cry for a while. I'll finish watching in a little while, I guess.

When Ellen said "My good girl" I turned it off, because tmi that's what my mom always says when you're sick or hurt.

Anyway I am a bit fucked up here.

I really thought the surgery scene from Changing Channels was going to come into play and Sam would save Jo. Oh well.

eta: ok watched the rest. Samael shoutie. Ok, I won't even bitch about the cop out on that.

Oh man, like you, I never invested much in Jo (but oh, Ellen - I've always loved Ellen), yet that death scene absolutely floored me. I was crying (not just the odd tear, either, I actually cried, dammit). Actually I know I identified strongly with Ellen (because, d'oh, mother), and I was also thinking "no way will she let that happen". Until it became clear she was staying, because she knew she couldn't save her daughter, so it wasn't worth going on. Which, hey, I can relate to, entirely.

Anyhow, what bothered me more than "they killed the women" is "they killed those women"! I loved Ellen, always thought of her as the great survivor, and the ranks of the hunters are getting pretty thin.

BTW - are you guys saying there isn't a new SPN until mid-January?

Eeek

Yes, no new eps until January. It's the CW, they haven't figured out how to broadcast tv shows yet.

I have no problems w/ people being sad that Jo and Ellen specifically died, CLEARLY, since I feel the same. It was heartbreaking all the way around.
