15x19 Inherit the Earth

"We're finally free"

My eyes, my heart, my feelings... I can't take it anymore.

I've watched it and I still can't get my thoughts straight. I feel like I love it and hate it at the same time. I'm mostly confused. It feels like SPN just ended before the actual ending. They even had a freaking Montage. I'm not even complaining if this were the final episode, but there's still another and now I'm worried and terrified equally.

I cried. I'm crying. And I'm gonna cry some more. This show has made me feel things I didn't know were possible. It's been three weeks that I've had this sad feeling I can't shake. The end in near but I'm still processing it.

Jack's the new God. I like to think that if Kelly hadn't had an affair with the president while Lucifer was wearing him, there'd be no life on the planet.

I'm not mad about the ending. What I'm mad about is how rushed it felt, like 3 episodes crammed into just one with the flashback montage to explain how everything 'cause there was no previous build-up. At some moments, it felt like they skipped some chunks of the episode. I'm satisfied with the outcome, I'm glad the boys are free, but a better build-up would've been nice.

I can only wonder what the episode would've been like had Covid never happened. I'm guessing the final montage would've included the real characters and not just flashbacks.

There's one thing I'm mad about, though. And that's character development. I truly believe Michael was on the right side and wanted to help the Winchesters. Had Lucifer not appeared and messed with his head, he wouldn't have turned against them. To my eyes, his development was thrown to the rubbish. But hey, whatever serves the plot, right?

Adam has to be one of the worse-treated characters in SPN, up there with Kevin. I would've liked an on screen goodbye for his character but that's what happens when you rush something. Shout out to Jake Abel, though. His portrayal of a laid-back Adam in contrast to a carrying the world in his shoulders Michael was a joy to watch.

The whole Jack being God thing was something that was predicted since the beginning of the season. Me, thinking that the writers wouldn't do it cause it was way too obvious, I thought he would become the new Death. However, initial asumpsions were correct.

Jack is somehow absorbing God power from dead plants and archangels. I get it. But are you seriously telling me that a couple of God punches drained him completely of his power? Those punches almost didn't give the boys a bloody nose.

Also, I thought Michael was supposed to be the only competent archangel, yet when Dean told him that Sam found some enochian symbols in God's book, why didn't he ask to see them given that he could help translate them?

I still can't believe they brought both Lucifer and Michael back just to kill them the next minute. Bringing bs k Mark Pellkgrino was pure fan service. I'm not complaining, though. I've a sweet spot for him. Michael said that he hadn't fought like that in centuries but he barely did anything. A little stabbing and the rest was just getting hit in the face. Weird.

Also, why did Sam and Dean suddenly forget about Cas, Eileen, Charlie and Bobby and decided to have a toast for those they lost along the way? It's not like they got an actual God adopted child with them, right? He literally demanded Chuck to bring him back at the beginning. After Cas died in season 12, Dean spent the following 6 episodes grieving his death and now he just forgets he exists? And Jack? Cas is clearly a father figure to him so just bring him back and then go to be hands off.

I honestly think that God got a perfect ending by the boys deciding not to kill him. God decided to pose as Chuck because he enjoys front row seats. Well, now he's got the very first to live a life as a human. And I guess when OG Death said hell reap God too wasn't joking.

Also, that trunk scene. Stop hitting me in the feels. It always gives me the goosebumps. I'm not embarrassed to say that, as soon as "Running on Empty" started playing and the montage, I started crying. I swear that, no matter how cheesy that montage was, it hit me right in the feels.

I was waiting for Dean to admit that Jack was family and I was a bit angry when he didn't, but then I saw the names carved on the table and it hit me. That's the boys' way of saying that both Jack and Cas are family.

Writing this reviews has to count as therapy. For the first time in 15 years, I don't want another week to pass. I feel like there's not going to be enough tissues to help me.

How...did Dean get there so quickly? Were Sam and Jack just staring in awe for half an hour till he showed up?

Dean with the dog was cute, but let's be honest, who didn't see that coming?

So, we have both Lucifer and Michael back in the picture. I'm thinking each uses their perfect vessel to team up against God?

Wow. How convenient that Lucifer managed to find and capture a reaper. After we had been told that there are no more reapers. Sigh

So, Lucifer shows up for five minutes and then gets killed with his only purpose in the entire episode being to make a reaper who shouldn't exist become Death, kill said reaper, and keep the book open for the boys to later read. Second sigh

So, only AFTER Castiel and Jack sacrifice themselves do Sam and Dean carve their names into the table? Eyeroll

Um. What? So, what the hell is the final episode going to be about?? What, is it just going to be some reboot or spinoff setup or something? Even if this were the finale, it still wouldn't have been satisfying. This was kind of rushed and so simplistic that it should have been at least two episodes so that it didn't feel absurdly easy and lacking in weight to finally beat Chuck. But then again, Supernatural has always had a history of underwhelmingly and anticlimactically ending big baddies...
