I find myself surprisingly OK with this finale, and I think it's because (like Dean), I'm finally at peace. I genuinely love this show, and watching it get trashed by Badd for years now has been really difficult. The fear of how royally he would ruin the ending has been a dark cloud over my heart since "Don't Call Me Shurley". Now I can let go of that and go back to happy rewatches. My heaven will be returning to so many amazing and wonderful episodes of this great show, and I think I can be OK with that.

Top 10 worst episodes of the series. Dabb takes a lot of heat and justifiably so, but Buckleming ... geezus.

One of them had to die. They would have gone on fighting monsters forever otherwise. Dean's death gave Sam new life, a new life he never could have had otherwise. I'm not sure what the fans wanted from this. Certainly it wasn't amazing, bc Dabb, but the overall concept and tone are really the only way it could go. Either you have two brothers continue to live in isolation killing monsters until they die of old age or you separate them with finality. And if Dean had to die, I'm glad it was on a hunt, and not one of Dabb's trash story arcs.

Dabb should go to prison. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Dafuq was that?

It's such a weird feeling to know that Misha and Jensen gave everything to that scene, and that it's one of the more important things to happen in the show's entire run, and just not connect to it emotionally because of how poorly everything has been handled for years. Between the plot line being the exact same plot as other seasons (one character goes right to the edge of self-sacrifice but is stopped at the last second by another) and Billie scraping her scythe on the bunker walls like she's Freddy Krueger, it was all just so laughable that I couldn't connect to Misha's big moment. It all makes me sad.

Every few days while listening to a playlist at work, Rob's "Fare Thee Well" cycles through, and each time it makes me immensely sad. I started thinking about it, trying to understand why I have such an emotional reaction to it, and now I realize why. That was the moment. That was when Supernatural ended for me. With isolated exceptions, everything since that moment has been garbage, and hearing that song now is like re-opening a wound. I miss our show. 😞

LOL. I immediately decided it was because Dean can't be duplicated, and his name should simply be retired. Every year on his birthday, all of humanity calls themselves "Dean" in his honor, and then the name goes back in the vault until next year.

So, is J'onn just carrying around everyone's entire memories in his finger? Barry's the "Paragon of Love", but we don't see a second of him checking on Iris? And did they really build a technobabble widget AT STAR LABS without Sisco? I can't believe I gave 5 hours of my life to this thing.

So the Dawn of Time is like a rock quarry or something? This was easily the worst of the crossovers. None of it made any sense. How bout those wraith thingies? Just punch in their general direction, and they disappear? Oooooh, scary.

And a young blonde walks by and says, "I'm looking for the AARP office. Do you kind old gentlemen know my grandpa?" [SERIES ENDS]

Garbage. It was so obvious Kane was the bad guy at the outset that I thought it was going to be a subversive trick. Nope. It was just shitting writing. Dean giving up his cell? Shitty writing. Dean not immediately recognizing that Kane was the baddie? Dean being loosely tied to a chair he can just wriggle out of? The monster being able to bust through the door with ease but never doing it for years until Dean shows up? Kane keeping the monster IN HIS F***ING BAR! Shitty shitty writing. The only redeeming quality was getting an episode where they acknowledge that Dean is a badass and women think he's sexy, instead of turning him into an idiot and making lazy jokes about his age.

The only redeeming quality of the Dabb regime is the in-show acknowledgement that he's a shitty writer.

Just so I'm tracking Dabb's logic here: God is too weak to melt the gun himself (or just take it off the table entirely, God-style), but powerful enough to bring Lilith back from The Empty? Is that the bullshit I was supposed to swallow this week?

I'm really in shock over this. It was so, so good. It's hard to know how to react after so much garbage, but I enjoyed every second of this. I know we may get a dozen crap episodes after this, so I'll just savor it.
