One of the worst finales to a series. All character arcs, build ups and growth abandoned so the brothers can regress to their season 1 self. Sam never mentions Eileen and Dean never talks about the circumstances of Cas's death. Other characters? Who are they? Only Sam and Dean make up this show. Family DOES end in blood.
Gave up on kleenex half way through let it run baby! Loved every minute, wish it didn't have to end!
This was quite a let down. So Dean battles countless demons, vampires, deities, literal God and the Devil...and he gets got by a rusty spike in an old barn?? I wouldn't say it was on the level of Game of Thrones bad; this finale was more a weak effort rather than terrible. Mind you, the final season has been a bit so-so, with the second half being particularly sub par. The concept of them all ultimately ending up in Heaven is a nice one, although arguably unnecessary for the show's finale; the fact they did this feels a bit "and that's that, guys, we're not having any spin-offs or films". Personally, I think they'd have been better off fleshing out and properly crafting last week's plot across a double episode and giving it chance to breathe, while also bringing back a few familiar faces like Crowley and Rowena to help see off Chuck, who I feel were sorely missed from the show's final outing(s).
I loved this episode!
It was kinda quick, the circumstances which culminated in the end. But it was amazing. It was everything I wanted in Supernatural.
I have to admit, Deans death was stupid. How come a man that was beaten by God and didn’t died could a little push from a vampy through a nail in the wall got him KAPUT.
I understood the symbolism.
This means that after EVERYTHING they are now free. Both of them never really died before because they were pawns, they were needed in Gods plan. They aren’t anymore, there is no one to protect them, and that death, it was an unfortunate occasion. Afterwards, Dean being in Heaven and seeing Sams life on earth really got me so emotional, it was what Sam wanted in the beginning of the show.
Ugh dudes, pls just think that a show with 15 years has ended. Stop focusing on “bu huu I wanted this finale” - be glad that you got a ending that both characters were happy. That’s everything I wanted for both of the throughout the 15 years of episodes.I just wanted them happy.
And finally they are.
Season should have ended with episode 19. This was a serious let down.
Honestly, Im not gonna say anything. I'm way too mad.
ACTUALLY IT'S GONNA BUG ME IF I DONT. HOLD MY BEER CUZ IM GONNA RANT.
WHAT :clap:THE :clap:FUCK :clap:.
SERIOUSLY, I don't even know where to start.
They just got all of Dean's character development and shoved up their ass. Boy finally, FINALLY, has control over his life; he's not being controlled by his dad or Chuck or whateverfuck supreme power, his life is his own and he was ready to LIVE it, for God's sake he got a freaking dog. And for what? To be killed by tetanus. The whole season was about defying "destiny", and they killed him the way that was supposed to happen since season 1. I'm sorry but that's just lazy.
DONT GET ME START ON CASTIEL CUZ IM GONNA BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT TIL THE DAY I DIE, mf sacrifice himself to save dean's life, just for him die weeks later, WHAT'S THE POINT??? But serious it bugged me so much the fact that they didn't even knowledge his sacrifice, they didn't mourn him or mentioned him. Boy got sucked to mega turbo hell and all that was said was "well too bad". Castiel deserved better. He really did.
I'm not even gonna talk about Sam cuz I'm still offended by those wigs. But what was the point of making him and Eileen a thing, if at the end he wasn't gonna stay with her? Serious.
It just feels like these 15 years of character build, stories, arcs didn't mean shit because at the end they went with the path that was been there since season 1. Dean died young, on a hunt, without a family of his own, and Sam got to live his apple pie life with wife and kids.
WHAT WAS THE POINT.
This finale was soooo painful for me
I finished the episode and was still crying (ugly real crying not just tears)
I feel empty
I feel sad
I feel relieved as well
IDK how to feel now that it's actually done!! I started watching Supernatural when Season 2 first aired.. I was still at school and my face had not even a single piece of hair
now I'm a university graduate and work in a full time job with a beard that covers my whole face
time feels weird.. Supernatural wasn't just a show, it was for a very long time a part of my lifestyle, I get excited waiting for new episodes every week and now there's no more to wait for
that's kinda depressing to think about
Sam, Dean & Cas, I will forever love you guys and the memories that I have of you will live with me until my day comes
Carry On you know, Saving People, Hunting Things. The Family Business.
Thank you, Supernatural.
Thank you, Jared Padalecki. Thank you, Jensen Ackles. Thank you, Misha Collins.
Thank you cast and crew.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, a hundred million thank you for this. For creating this show. For showing me what family really is. For teaching me lessons in every episode. For the laughs, the tears, the heartbreak, the family. This show will live forever in my heart.
15 years. More than half of my life I've been watching this show. I still remember the first day I watched it. I was barely 12 years old and I got hooked instantly. This show has shaped my personality and has become part of me for 25 years. 15 freaking years that, no matter what shitty thing happened, I could always find my way back watching an episode. 42 minutes when the world felt better. 42 minutes when I could forget of all my problems and was carried into this safe bubble where everything would be ok. This show is my home and it's really sad to see it end. But it will carry on forever.
I'm truly grateful to the cast and the crew, past and present for giving us this magnificent show. A show to laugh, cry, enjoy, suffer and, above all, a show that I felt at home with. To me, Supernatural is not just a show. It's a lifestyle. I breath Supernatural everyday. Not a day goes by without me quoting the show, watching an episode or just thinking about it. I'm truly honored to have given the opportunity to witness it grow. Sure it had its ups and downs. Not everything was what it should've been, but it was a constant reminder that, for 42 minutes, life was gonna be OK. To me, SPN is a window into the normal. A window that I'll never, in a thousand lives, will close.
This show has changed my life in so many ways that I can't express. The music, the scenery, the writing, and a ove all, the characters. Two of the best fictional characters I've ever seen. I will forever carry Sam and Dean in my heart. Especially Dean. He's always been my favorite. I identify with almost everything and it's so damn sad to see him go.
But I guess I should actually review the episode a little, cause otherwise, I'll just start crying.
I was scared to watch the episode. I really was, maybe for all the wrong reasons, who knows. I was terrified. Like I knew anything was going to make me cry and I wouldn't handle it. Well, I did good through the first 15-20 minutes. Then, I feel as if my heart just stopped, my eyes knew what to do and there the tears came. I don't cry easily. My family even checked up on me because they were worried about me.
So, the first few minutes were great. A look at the boys' lives living free and that damn dog. Jesus, seeing Dean with him brought a smile to my face I couldn't get rid off for a few minutes. Also, the pie fest and Sam putting it in Dean's face, I'm pretty sure that was more Jared than Sam.
Then some creepy vamps appeared and everything turns to shit. A freaking nail. I'm was as mad as everyone when I first saw it. But giving it time, and watching it more than just once, I started to interpret it as freedom. Chuck's no longer around to lend them a hand and to write their stories so it was a matter of time. Then the barn scene happened. It's not like I was using my heart anyway. Freaking Dean Winchester, I swear. That scene must have been the best and worst 5 minutes I've experienced in a long time.
I always imagined the boys having a life, but let's be honest, that wasn't gonna happen. I figured Dean would die first and Sam would get the life he always wanted and deserved. Dean couldn't have done the same without Sam.
Then Dean went to Heaven. To Bobby. To the Roadhouse. To the Heaven he deserves. He had everything: Baby, the original license plates (I can't believe I cried for some damn license plates) and even the green cooler. Then, "Carry on my wayward son" started plating and I lost it. I seriously lost control of everything.
We saw Sam living a life he deserves with Dean Jr (again, why do I have feelings?) and married to, who I'm gonna say was Eileen (I'm sure they wanted to get her to Vancouver but because of Covid they couldn't so they just blurred another woman). Also, we saw that his kid had the tattoo, but I don't think Sam raised his kid to be a hunter, only that he made sure he was protected.
I didn't need a second rendition of Carry on, but the cover, the moment, the shifting was so fitting I started crying again. Seriously!
And then, as soon as Dean's ride in Heaven ends, Sam appears. In "Dark Side of the Moon" Cas said that Dean's ride will always lead him to his baby brother. And there he is, in the bridge. With the same clothes they both were wearing in the pilot. And their final words on the show are their names. Excuse me while I go cry some more.
Those parallels killed me. The same as when Dean told Sam "Look at me" when Sam was dying at the end of season 2. And then, the cherry on the top was having Jared and Jensen thanking us for these 15 years. It was such a heartwarming moment. And the pan out with all the crew standing in the bridge. That scene brought warmth to my heart and tears to my eyes.
I'm sorry for anyone who reads this. I'm not expecting anyone to mae¡ke it through to paragraph 2, but I needed to write this. It's become therapeutical.
I know I've said it way too much but thank you forever. I will always cherish this. This show has been my al time favorite and it feels like I'm saying "see you soon" to a part of me. Thank you Dean. Thank you Sam. 15 amazing years, a heart full of love, and a room full of SPN merchandising. Thank you to everyone involved for giving me a home and a family where I could feel loved.
From the bottom of my heart: GRACIAS!!!
SPN may have ended, but the family remains and...endings are hard but, nothing ever really ends, does it?
OK, I agree with most comments. Theses last episodes were not worthy of the whole show. We were all expecting a huge final battle, not some leftover vamps. But it would have been amazing if anything was related to their first case ever. Like ending a cycle.
Not gonna lie tho. I cried like a baby when wayward son came up.
AND LOVED that the actors themselves thanked us for sticking around.
"Singer and Kripke. FBI."
Heh. Dean's end is pretty anticlimactic here, but well done. The post stuff (essentially a VERY long epilogue) is bittersweet, but fitting. Some folks will be upset that every plot point isn't addressed, but this ending seems appropriate to me. Things started and now end with the three main characters: Dean, Sam...and Baby.
Grade: B
OK, to be honest, I have mixed feelings. It wasn't all that bad - as Dean said, you knew this was always how it's going to end. And it really should, this is Supernatural not some rom com..
Well actually it was a com in some episodes, which I really loved. Trickster, the one Dean was afraid of everything, Scooby!!
But back to the ending, I liked the fact that they finally managed to create a heaven they deserved, and at this point, after all the times we've seen the brothers die, dying felt more like a choice. So yes, I was expecting this end for both of them.
The only thing I'm wondering about is how much effect COVID-19 had on the last episodes. We see very few of the cast, when the perfect wrap up would be to bring almost everyone together (at least the big ones) for a proper farewell. I would really like the last episode reshot, not to change anything on the way it ends, but to involve more loved characters in it. Also the acting could have been better.
I really loved the actors' thank you in the end and the "Carry on" song was very heartwarming throughout the episode.
Thank you Supernatural for all these years, you will always have a special place in my memories
P. S. Was it a pwn that Dean loved to drive the "Impala" and ended up being "Impaled" :)
Miracle was the best part of this episode.
So, let me get this straight. Jack brought back the people murdering monsters? Then one lame vampire accidentally kills Dean? I love Dean so watching him struggle with leaving Sam as he is dying made me cry. His job of taking care of his brother is finally done.
I know they couldn't do a lot of cameos. Jensen and Jared had to spend weeks in quarantine to finish filming. Apparently, it also forced them to use a $5 wig from the Halloween store on Sam.
Overall, the episode is a emotional trap with no point other than to quickly slam the door on Supernatural. Disappointing!
Agents Singer and Kripke. I see what you did there. Nice one.
Just… PERFECT. I have no other words. This is the ending that I'll remember for a long time.
I know there are simplifications done for the sake of the episode containing everything needed to finish the series in style, but it doesn't matter.
I don't even remember when I started watching the series, it feels like it always has been around. I'm going to miss Supernatural.
Not all characters merit 15 seasons, but these did. Now it's one last time, with or without feeling. The series had its ups (oh hell yeah) and its downs (do I need to be specific?). Today it ends. Everyone knows the climax was in the previous episode, so this is just the last wave goodbye, and it keeps its dignity, such as it is. It's OK, Sam and Dean. You can go now. Goodbye.
not even gonna lie, i cried lol. my heart. i feel like they could have maybe done more w the other characters, but still a good ending.
Even though I think they chose kind of an odd way to end this show I will miss it. Even though my favorite characters were already gone and I ended up liking Dean more than Sam by the later seasons of the show, I loved it.
I read a lot of opinions about the last episode and I have to say I definitely like it at least it touched me or whatever... In my opinion, the previous episode was a bit in rush but overall it was a great season finale(which I think was not enough to a series finale)
Rather, the 20 parts tried to give a kind of final conclusion.
As I see Dean's death was okay, at least that he died when he was hunting, the solution was a bit crappy and a little artificial, but somewhere the character required it just it was not as cathartic as it could be.
Sam and the montage of his life were beautiful a bit foggy and rough, and I would be happy to see a couple of hunting scenes, not only Dean Jr., but ultimately it was okay.
The end and the heavens were especially beautiful and quite touching, nostalgic. Overall, I think it was a nice conclusion to the series and the long journey the boys have taken.
(PS .: It would be cool with more cameos)
WHAT. THE FUCK. JUST HAPPENED?!?! They had the perfect ending! Everything wrapped up, victorious, no tears, flashbacks included! And then they fucking ruined it! And now I'm sobbing my eyes out on Christmas! According to Doctor Who that's enough to kill a villain so DIE YOU HEARTLESS WRITERS DIE! May your frozen hearts melt!
It's been a ride. 15 years! I started in season 2 after my mum kept bugging me to watch the show. It's been with me at so many important stages of my life. At university I watched it alone, around season 3 I watched them with my mum and then season 9-10 and later with my wife. It was a real 15 year period in my life where I'd rely on the Boys being there most weeks.
I thought that ending was amazing. I've been thinking a lot about life recently - that it inevitably leads to loss and pain. The way the montage showed that Sam had so much love in his life, but he was profoundly sad when he thought of his brother teared me up like nothing else. I didn't cry at the dying speech - but that, man. That montage was beautiful.
I loved Jack's conception of heaven. Heaven makes 0 sense to animals that have evolved to be finite. Our psychology would be driven mad by infinite time. Relationships wouldn't work, love wouldn't work. Those are adaptations for survival. So when Bobby explains how time passes differenty, Dean goes on a drive in a beautiful forest road (heaven is in British Colombia turns out!), and then Sam is there to greet him. Tearing up writing about it now!
I've forgotten so much of the show. I have a bunch of season 1 episodes I can watch fresh and I'll start my re-watch soon. I like to re-watch real slow so I think the boys will be in my life another 15-20 years. I'll be in my 50s then. Crazy to think.
I really enjoy this journey and I didn't expect this final so I guess is good. It is a pity that they have to do it while covid because it affect to filming. I don't like the final of Dean and he deserves better but is different. The wife of Sam could be Eileen but we don't know It.
So goodbye Winchester's brothers. We will miss you and we can see the show again since first season again.
damn. it's actually over.
I don't know but this was the finale or happy ending I expected.This wasn't what Winchester Brothers deserved !!! Even though this worst finale,this will be one of my favourite tv shows.
Goodbye winchester brothers we'll miss you!
I knew from the previous ep this one will be weird. Everything ended in E19 sooo... barely started and a death in the first mission?! So am I suppose to think the brothers were shit without God and they would pretty much die as teenagers or even earlier? Nope! I hope I can forget about this episode. Sam had a kid, you dont know with whom, couldn't afford to bring Eileen for a minute? And also Dean just dies immediately and Sam has a long life and we're suppose to be happy?
Piss off. This was not the ending the series or the characters deserved after everything.
I was actually thinking “Yeah the show has made me cry before but honestly I can’t imagine it happening again. I’m prepared.”
Me at the end: :sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::heart:
Y'know, I was kind of generally annoyed at this episode for existing, but then the dog jumped onto Dean's bed, and I couldn't help but smile.
What.
The.
FUCK.
What the actual f*ck?!
Throughout this episode, I started off mad, then I was disappointed, then I didn't have the energy to be anything, and now I'm mad again. I couldn't even feel anything but annoyed at Dean's death because it was so unnecessary, and we didn't even SEE what killed him, and it was just an obvious way for the writers to force an emotional reaction from the viewers. Why the hell did they think we wanted to tune in for an extra week just to watch our characters die?
Y'know, if they had bothered to ask Jack to bring back Eileen and the other hunters, maybe Sam wouldn't be so alone.
So... Wait, what? Cas is around? And he never stopped by or...? WTF?
I'm just. I don't even know what to say about this. I... This was not a good final season, and this finale episode was just made to tug at the audience's emotions and nothing more. Sam got kind of a happy ending, though he clearly suffered over the loss of his brother and EVERYONE else he'd ever known. We didn't even get a cameo of Jack or Cas. It makes no sense why the other hunters weren't brought back. I don't know, maybe Chuck had returned them to a world that didn't exist anymore, so it wasn't possible to bring them back? I'm just...deeply disappointed but not even as much as I should be because Supernatural has been declining in quality for years. With each passing episode of this season, it became clearer and clearer that the ending wouldn't be well-paced and well-written like we deserved. It's not the worst season of this show or even the second or third worst. But it is one of the worst final seasons I've seen of a show that has lasted so long. Really, they should have just dropped the idea of Chuck as the big bad this season and just made this a collection of monster-of-the-weeks with a familiar face starring in each episode, building up to a final farewell to the Winchester brothers who happily and without regret sacrifice themselves for the greater good. And then Jack and Cas visit them in heaven, and maybe Jack (and perhaps Cas) continues hunting with the possibility of teaching the next generation of hunters. Or they rebuild heaven, creating more angels who will encourage free will and peace.
I'm honestly not even sad Supernatural is over. With writing like we've had for the past few seasons, it was only a matter of time. I just think we deserved better than what we got. The characters deserved better than what they got. I give this episode a 4/10 because the emotional ploys didn't work on me, leaving me bored and annoyed at this episode that served as a poor finale (I'm especially bitter that last episode gave us a rushed conclusion to the biggest plot of the entire show, but we got a full episode of two guys dying this episode). The season overall, I give a 5/10. Maybe a 6 if I'm feeling generous, but right now, I'm not...

I can't believe it has been 15 years! A truly heart fealt thank you to cast and crew, present and past. Supernatural has been a part of my life since season 1 when I thought 'this looks like fun' and has continued to entertain, tear at my heart and make me laugh out loud. You will be missed but better to burn out than fade away. Carry on my wayward friends ...............
This has to be one of the worst series finale I have ever seen. It was really poorly written and poorly paced. There was no point in making this episode, the last one was fine as a series finale.
This being said, I'm gonna miss Sam and Dean.
Just can't stop crying! (Tears of sadness, tears of joy!)
You know, one thing's remained constant throughout this show for me, and that was the feeling I wasn't alone while watching it! I don't mean just this episode. I may be mostly alone in this life, in reality, but what little dopamine I expressed -- either in my emotional reactions, or in a truer free-form way, both afforded some sense of greater connection with all of you, and the world.
It's been a great ride, and some great adventures!
I'm a mess! Been crying with this painful lump in my throat. Well done. This is how you end a series.
This was just such an unnecessary episode. Leaving it at ep 19 would have been acceptable, instead they conjured up a quasi happily ever after that they pulled out of their ass. Leaving more questions then a wrap up should.
No reference to the reappearance of the people they “cared” about, not even a phone call? What killed dean? They couldn’t go to the hospital? Jack brought everyone back but not Cass? Wait cass is back just dgaf about them anymore? Is Sam with Eileen or some rando? No check in to see how old god is going. Not catch up with jack, is he alone now he’s god or what? No reunion of the whole family
Plus we’ve seen the long teary speech between brothers and drive in a car a thousand times before so don’t tell me they just ran out of time to show it all.
Like a lifetime movie all emotion no substance nor sensical to the story line.
SRYSLY?! WTF?! What a cringe episode... :thumbsdown:
Oh hell no!! This was just awful. What a let down.
AAAAnd they doubled down on the botched ending... I'm not in the loop with the series production but you better hope that there is a good excuse for them having to resolve the story like this. I don't mind that they did what they did here but it doesn't work if you play this after last weeks episode. The trajectory for this was all wrong and it's missing a lot of in between! Kinda hard to fall for the manipulative writing when you have to doubt what is being presented to you. And Sam growing old was not only cheesy pandering but a huge joke that had me laughing because of the unbelievably bad makeup.
Rushing an ending for a show after 15 years is NOT appreciated.
should’ve rewatched the six feet under series finale instead
i've just rewatched season 1 to 5 and then watched all the latest episodes and i've been crying for the past 2 hours cus it's just so touching to see the story coming to an end showing sam and dean just being human, ordinary, since they are finally free to go on with their lives without any other power controlling them. especially dean. his end was just human, shit happens every day vibe just like all the other hunters we've seen in the show. and let's be honest, he's been tired of losing people, saving the world and all that without ever catching a break for so long. it was just so beautiful to see him in heaven, driving the Impala and the words "there'll be peace when you are done ... don't you cry no more" blasting throughout the scene cus that's what finally happened for him. and sam got to live a long, ordinary life with a family and probably being the kind of father john never got to be for him. the ending with the two of them, finally in peace, was everything i wanted it to be.
This series finale of Supernatural was so......ooof. Not good. 15 years for this episode. There was a couple of things it needed to do to be considered a good finale, but honestly, the penultimate episode is a much better farewell. This one was so forced and so unnecessary, and paced horribly, and inconsistent with the rest of the season/series.
I get why everyone is pissed, cz I'm pissed too. But in the end and deep down in our hearts we knew this was coming. One of them is gonna die and one of them is gonna have to live a full life and bring the next generation Winchester out into the world. It was a given in my opinion. Or on the other hand they both die and we still are pissed off about it. The writers just had the audacity to not mention anyone in this last episode of the effing SERIES! Like, WHAT!? WHY!? Why wasn't Cas there to welcome Dean? Why didn't the other hunters come back? Why didn't jack come to meet Dean and Sam? What happened to Judy and the girls? Just why did they had to die anyway? Why did Dean die like that? Why did I ugly cry when Dean was dead and then again when Sam was on his death bed taking his last breathe and then again when Carry On was playing?? WHY? WHY?? UGH!!!
I'm just happy its finally over. But seriously, so many questions were unanswered.
Fo real? After 15 seasons, a gazillion deaths by both characters, the "most caring person in the whole world" ends up dead while his brother has a kid and names him "Dean"? What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu@@??? I'm in the mood for killing a writer or two right now!
Dean deserved the same or more. He grew from an loner, hard-core self-caring man into a family leader, a person that deserved and was owed a long life, a big family and someone to inherit his love for burgers and beer, pool and fights. Not fair at all. I love Sam's character too, but he was not the only one that was worthy of a future.
And for those who think Dean would always be a hunter, rewatch Season 6, Dean's life with Lisa and Ben Braeden, and tell me again he did not deserve a happier ending than driving through Heaven.
Friggin' finale, "Carry on" my ass!
Calmer now, I will always love Supernatural. And obviously, I am team Dean all the way, although Sam and Cass do fight for a second place. Will miss the show, will miss the witty-comments by Dean and the frowny Sam-looks. Thank you Supernatural for 15 years of entertainment and expectations!
I always longed to see Sam and Dean with their kids but I did not expect to end this way. F.
I’m sad!!!! I didn’t expect that end!
Just sad this episode was so stupid most parts. I always thought both can have a family or at least Dean and he hunts eith his son like the beginning with the show from s1. And then get killed from a super strong monster......
To be honest, this episode even tho it was reaaaaally emotional, was so unnecesary. The previous one gave general sense of "good" ending considering everything, but this one just disipated that feeling. Being the last episode of the series, they could have afford to spend some money in a couple cameos at least (the wife of Sam is not clear if it was Eileen resurrected by Jack (also never explained what happened with that) or some other woman. Just appeared in the background in one scene and that's it). It would have been a good touch that, for example, Jodi and Donna were in Dean's funeral. After all, they were kinda family.
Anyway, i loved the series so much, they gave a kinda good ending (even tho i still think Dean's death was really stupid), but they should have finished it in the previous episode. They even could have made a double-episode and would have had more sense; but alas, it was a good run.
The previous episode is the true final episode for me!
I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FEEL! Why did I watch this at work?! How do I explain why my eyes are so red now?! FUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKK!
That was really nice! Obviously they had planned to have a lot of cameos of old characters which wasn't possible which was a bit of a let down but out of their control. I thought the ending was exactly what it has always been heading towards and was how Dean would have wanted it to be. Without Chuck or anyone controlling them of course they're going to get into trouble.
Who cares about the ending?!
The truth is... 90% of the audience continued watching because the two main actors are so fucking hot. I love Ackles as Dean, the perfect "macho perv".
Anyway, after the 5th season the series went on a rollercoaster with good and bad moments (most of them very bad). But we love the characters and would lick the 2 main actors to death!
personally this ending was amazing to me. i think the writers were a little too nice tho. woulda been funny if sam died first and dean had to deal with knowing sam never got the happy family he wanted!
sorry to all the side-character lovers, but this show was never truly about them. it was always sam & dean, and cas wasn't even introduced until season 4, why would they spend half of the final episode talking about everyone else?!
and no dean did not die by tetanus... he died from being impaled by a rod ... lmfaoo
It’s like the writers of Six Feet Under wrote the finale. Decent finale though since you always knew Sam could have a normal life. With Dean in his life, he’d always be a hunter.
So it is disappointing yet fitting. Episode 19 would have been happier though. Maybe HBO Max could bring them back for a movie in like 5 yrs.
They don’t have to stay dead. It’s Supernatural where they both died multiple times. This ending is at least better than the 2 series finales of the X-Files.
this season was a crap but this last episode was (almost) perfect to me. i cried like a baby, i really love it
It was a proper end, so long boys !!!
I forgot same hair looks so fake and they could have done it better XD. And also the acting was not so good some scenes :0.
And also his son did not hunt anything? XD
I can't even tell how not ready I am for this...
Review by MillieVIP 10BlockedParentSpoilers2020-11-20T20:55:11Z
Thank you, Dean Winchester.
Thank you, Supernatural.
Obviously I also want to thank everyone else involved, specifically Jared Padalecki, the other half of the show. I'm not going to lie to you, I was nervous for all the wrong reasons before watching this. The past couple of seasons has not been anything like the show I once fell in love with, but when I joined the "family" 10 years ago, it was done. I would never abandon this show. It has been something so unique, so comforting, so familiar - such a safe space. Good or bad, I always knew I could come back here and meet the characters I loved more than anything.
Dean Winchester has changed my life an unmeasurable amount. I identify a lot with him, and is the character I have, undoubtedly, loved the most out of any and all fictional characters I've ever encountered.
Guess I should actually review this, then, huh?
First of all - MIRACLE :hearts:︎ I was so happy they kept her around. The first few minutes are so jam-packed with feel-good TV you just know shit's gonna hit the fan sooner rather than later. It's a monster-of-the-week type thing, a nest of vamps kidnapping kids.
Then the big fight happens, and Dean gets impaled on a rebar that goes through his back.
The speech that happens next is so painful to me I can barely breathe as I watch. The "stay with me", the "I love you so much, my baby brother," the "tell me it's okay," 'cause of course Dean will fight tooth and nail for his last breath until his little brother says he can let go. That Dean's job is done. He has protected his little brother, as he promised, and now he can rest.
Shit man, just yank my heart out, will you?
I've personally always wanted the brothers to die together or not at all in the finale. That doesn't happen. And surprisingly, I'm at peace with that.
Dean goes to Heaven, which is "nearly perfect". There's one puzzle piece missing, because Sam isn't there - but he will be. Time passes differently in Heaven, Bobby says (oh yeah, Bobby's back. For once I don't mind them bringing him back for the millionth time). Bobby asks Dean what he'll be doing now, to which Dean answers that he's gonna go for a drive, as he finally spots Baby. The speakers blasts Carry on My Wayward Son, and you thought you were done crying but nah.
We see Sam's life and Dean on the road, back and forth. Sam has a son now, named after Dean, and we see him raise him throughout the years, aging, going grey (the wig is atrocious but fine), while Dean is still driving down the same, long-stretching dirt roads, still as "young" as always, time seemingly standing still.
Then, as they move to a cover of CoMWS (which is beautiful by the way, my GOD), we see Sam die of old age in his home, surrounded by photos of Dean, their family... They cut to Dean, who's slowing the car down to park on a bridge, and as he gets out to look out over the river below, you can see him sense a presence, before he grins and goes "Hey Sammy" (that's my cue to cry again by the way). Sam responds with Dean's name, they hug, and that's that. It fades to black as they stand together on the bridge, looking out over the river.
Their final words in the show are each other's names. And if you remember from "Dark Side of the Moon" back in season 5, when Castiel says to Dean that he needs to follow the road in Heaven, which will lead him to Sam... The fact that they implemented that here as well, with Dean driving seemingly forever, until Sam dies and his trip ends as they reunite. It's just so achingly beautiful.
I know this review is a mess. I don't expect anyone to read it honestly. But this show has been my life for so long I felt like I owed them this.
We've had our ups and downs, dear show, but you'll always be home to me. Thank you.
