Let us know your thoughts on this last EVER episode of Supernatural.


I haven't seen it yet, but have read comments on line. So I have an idea.

Come on guys add some comments below and have a good old rant!

What did you like, or didn't?
Was the ending you had dreamed about?
What were you most surprised about?
What were you least surprised about?
Does it leave an opening for a movie or mini series down the line?
Does this mean a death on this show is actually final?
Did this really feel like a finale episode?
Some are saying is was an ending as bad as Lost, do you agree?
Were you happy with 15 years of this show ending, in this way?

I agree with Beauq81, I mean, I liked the concept of Winchester bros dying in the line of job, doing what they do best, but I didn't like the execution very much, it just felt something was missing.

I have mixed feelings about Dean dying alone, I swear they would go down together. Or maybe I didn't like because I it was too depressing to see Sam living his life he always wished, but without his brother. The segments with "Brother's in Arms" playing over after Dean's death, damn, those destroyed me, I couldn't help but weep. On the other hand, Sam growing old was unconvicing, specially the wig lol.

Anyway, I felt it was a satisfying, yet a bit underwhelming, ending, with the Winchesters finally getting the heaven they deserved after so many years of doing the family business. Besides Bobby, I also missed their beloved ones not there, but I understand why they couldn't reunite Sam and Dean with the other characters.

The road so far was great, and I'll definitely miss the series.

It was just a "meh" finale. Not horrible, not great. Definitely not as bad as Lost or Dexter. That said, I think the penultimate episode would have been a better ending point.

I felt like they could have ended on the second last ep.

Dean dying sucked. Also aren't there other hunters you'd think Sam and Dean could have retired.
Given the way it ended I can't see how you could make a film given half the team is dead.
I would have preferred one of their whacky eps.
Never watched Lost but it did seem like a filler ep except it was a finale. As mentioned the second last ep could have just ended it nicely.
I had lost interest in the show a while back anyway. Too many long drawn out boring story arcs. They started losing the plot a little.

I think I feel right about that, and often thought about the penultimate ending of them both driving along in the car driving towards the sunset, still alive, and Sam's hair blowing in the wind. Baby was in her element. It felt more natural to me rather than the last episode. But I still think they can come back with another series, movie even though they are both dead in heaven. Sorry for spoiling that for anyone. I also get why you thought that Dean's ending sucked, I felt he was cheated a bit when you look at Sam's longer life. I think its what Jensen was uneasy with too. I can see why now he went to see Eric.

reply

I would have preferred them both to live, get married or whatever, enjoy their lives. Dean getting killed like that is like a soldier being killed a second after the war has ended.

I didn't know Jensen went to the boss with it, makes sense. He seems like a fun happy kind of guy, he wouldn't have liked that end either.

I just feel it was wasted really.

Maybe the next logical step would be Sam's kid taking up the family tradition.

In all honesty, for me the real ending of the show was the last episode of season 5. As far as I am concerned, that's the "real" story of Sam and Dean Winchester -- the canon, if you like -- and everything after that was apocryphal. The show was just so much better those first 5 years.

That said, while I've still enjoyed the later seasons, and liked the last episode, I think episode 19 of that season makes a better ending to the show: the heroes defeat the Big Bad, the world is put right again, and they literally ride off into the sunset. Classic ending for heroes. Episode 20, was well done, but a little too obviously fan service, Dean just conveniently dying in such a way that he has time to say to Sam, all those things people never get to say before it's too late. Sam goes on to live an ideal, happy life and he and Dean meet up again in heaven, where they're reunited with all their closest friends and family, and it's perfect.

I also don't like what the episode implies about Dean: that he really wasn't all that good. That maybe he was only successful because Chuck/God was writing his story, and he just had plot armor. I mean, very quickly after he and Sam are free of Chuck/God writing their story, and it's all on them, Dean gets killed by a fairly low level monster of the sort he's killed dozens of. It just seems like a weak and unsatisfying end for a character who's taken on and beaten several of the most powerful beings in the universe.

Finally, die show die.
