Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please read with caution.

Supernatural is truly ending. Chuck, the Lord himself, is the final villain. He is raised the stakes so high to the point that “death” is not even the problem. What’s waiting for Sam and Dean (feat. Cass and Jack) at the end of the road? The Winchesters dying seems like a blessing if that’s all that happens to them at this point. I will mostly write about the season finale, but I’ll also voice my thoughts on the episode before regarding Sam and Dean trying to trap Jack.

I do feel for Jack because he can’t feel for himself. His soul burned off and being a kid doesn’t help much. The emotional scenes between Jack, Cass, Sam, and Dean were heartbreaking to watch, but the gun execution scene (season two finale callback to killing Yellow Eyes) was choreographed amazing—a bit slow, but I enjoyed it.

The tension, acting, and writing ramped everything so high to the point that it makes sense this is the end. I feel The End coming, and both Sam and Dean are tired of it. They personally attacked Chuck, the writers, and the fandom for enjoying the suffering they endured for the past fourteen seasons. I recently listened to a RPF podcast my cousin shared with me, and this anger is incredibly just plus it’s an amazing callback to when they met “Chuck, the prophet” during season four.

The foreshadowing is on-point especially re watching the scenes. Everything Lucifer (season 5, 11-13) and Michael (alternate) said about their Father is right. He is not the Almighty Lord everyone thinks he is, which was made transparent when Dean refused to execute Jack like Yellow Eyes. When Dean refused to follow His version of the story, Chuck released all their former enemies from Hell. The Woman in White, Bloody Mary, and the killer clowns!

Chuck killed his grandson too, but I didn’t count Jack out. Billie, the new Death, visits The Empty where Jack is immediately awake. God and The Darkness have no influence over this domain, so I’m liking the safeness in that regard. This little team-up might be what helps or gives the Winchesters a chance to finally put an end to all this.

Writers lie. WE DO! OMG I caught that the first time He said it. I am sad and amazed that this show lasted 15 seasons. I will write a “Goodbye, boys” post sometime this summer, and I will attend a convention because I did promise myself I would whenever the show ended. The time has come to meet my heroes.
