Queer Subtext in Buffy’s “Hush”

I was a huge fan of Buffy.

In 1997, when the show had it’s first run, I remember spending an entire week anxiously awaiting the pilot episode after seeing an extended promotional spot for it. Within the first ten minutes of episode one, I was hooked, but…

Carver’s not Whedon in more ways than that and I suspect that’ll play in favor of all fans who want to see Dean and Cas’ endgame realized of being both alive and together/not getting stuck forever on two different planes of existence in the series finale, perhaps right after confessing their feelings.

(Note that /even Joss/ couldn’t kill his darkhorse character in the end, but he sure hit fans hard because in my experience he can be a bit sadistic sometimes just for the effect per se, without it being a /strict/ means to another end. I might end up being wrong of course, but not everyone’s like that).

MAN. If I hadn’t already known Marsters would be back the next season in Angel, the Buffy series finale would have broken me, maybe worse than [REDACTED]. And that is by God SAYING SOMETHING.
