SPOILERS - Supernatural season finale - SPOILERS

Turn back now if you failed to note the SPOILERS text in the headline!




Wow... just finished watching the season finale. I really had my reservations about how they were going to pull this off on a tv budget with any semblance of good taste. I'm not a "Lostie" and after that last episode of Lost a couple of days ago, my attitude turned very pessimistic and started to bleed over into Supernatural for me as I doubted where they were going to go with this storyline. I was wondering how they could possibly pull this off even with artistic license.

(Quick edit - I don't mean to bash Lost - just giving an idea of where I was coming from in going into this episode I'd been anticipating.)

I was glued to my seat from the opening scenes to the end. Having Chuck write and narrate the events including the history of the Impala was brilliant. Including his "internal" thoughts as a writer in this episode - which would have been the series finale if they had done it as originally planned - completely tied it up nicely by just simply admitting that fans would gripe, some holes would be ultimately left unfilled and some strings left untied but that "the end" was never actually "the end."

The way Chuck disappears... very cool. I wonder if that means he was "god" all along (?)... maybe it's a crazy thought but they've never had a character disappear that way - at least not to my memory. It seemed like that's what they were subtly implying.

And Dean driving up in the Impala blasting Def Leppard and interrupting Michael and Lucifer at their "final battle" was absolutely classic.

Thoughts? Anybody hate it? Love it like I did? I thought the writing was razor sharp myself on this episode.

i thought it was fantastic as well. I got the seem implication about god, though all along i was banking that the dad would appear as god. So much for that though.

In a way i think its too bad theres another season, just because how well this one ended. But im a sucker for more monster of the week episodes, even if the season seems tacked on to the bigger story.

I am going to miss Cas though. With this story done i highly doubt he will return, but i would be more than happy to be wrong.

It was fantastic! I agree that this should have been the end. The wrapped it up so nicely. This may have even taken the place of Angel as my favorite ending of a season ever. I am just not sure what else they can do having destroyed the four horseman and Putting the devil back in the ground(maybe).

I was also still stinging from LOST, and with Jacob and even MIB playing some major characters in Supernatural as well, it's kind of easy to carry that over to a degree.

BUT, Eric Kripke is IMHO a much better writer than Damon Lindelof. So I had a feeling that even if this episode stumbled, there would be lots to chew on and lots to enjoy.

I loved the episode. The Def Leppard moment was really cool. They always use classic rock in just the right way. I also felt a small pang of regret that a 6th season might somehow sully this very nice wrap up. It would have been a solid ending for a solid series IMHO. But I will welcome it back next year.

I think he was God too. I'd been waiting all season for God to show up and after he disappeared that way, I just kind of laughed. Very well played, either way.

I really enjoyed it, I thought it was nicely done. I also thought chuck was God however if he were, wouldn't Dean's necklace have "glowed white hot" in his presence?

I seriously was thinking they changed their mind about the sixth season till the very last bit. It played out like a series finale with the wrapping up of characters...

Cas's "exit" was unexpected to say the least, just a snap of the fingers.. lol

I loved every second of it though... And I do also think Chuck was actually God all along. The whole "he helped more than we knew" line.. the stupid grin and vanish.. as for the necklace, well Chuck's little rant about the fans never being pleased and holes in the story.... :lol I think he was talking about us..

I'm so pumped to see how it goes with a sixth season but if it was done now I'd be very satisfied..

:thumbsup Fantastic!! This is by far one of the best shows since X Files (IMHO). There "worst" episode was still far better then most shows "good" episode. I can see how when they wrote this it was the final but it was left open for more. Chuck was God :lol I thought about that a few ep's back but brushed it off as a in your face, behind your back. So when he vanished I openly laughed and said "Oh sh@t he was God!!" I read that the sixth season will head in a different direction... duh. How could it not? I too will miss Cas, Bobby and a few others but await excitedly to who will be introduced next. So when does this come out on DVD so I can pick it up and re-watch it all over?
