Swan Song

I am surprised at the number of comments that I have read online where people don't seem to understand that this episode was intended to be the series finale. The show was scheduled and planned to run for 5 years only. I'm thrilled that Supernatural will be back for a sixth season, but I can't imagine anyone writing another finale that will live up to this episode. The bar is now set very high. The writers did an amazing job putting it all together for us and coming up with a wrap up that is much more difficult than your average TV show. Most shows just have someone move, get married, die, or generally transition into a new chapter in their lives. Swan Song took care of all of those categories while tackling, ummm... Armageddon. Most of us can't say enough about how terrific this show was. With the exception of one classy genius who felt that the episode was too emotional and that Dean should end up with a skanky chick. Really? You didn't expect this to be emotional? You didn't pay attention to 5 years of the show. As for his other concern, you can see that most people disagree totally with his assessment. Like Chuck says- there will be some bitchy fan who just doesn't get what you were trying to say. Well, the rest of us did, and BRAVO!!

I'm a series lover, i have watched over 70 tv shows including this one. I've seen all kinds of episodes, this one was one of the best ever made. This was actually intended to be the series finally. Imagine if they had ended it here. This could've been the best ending ever made to the greatest show ever made. But nooo they had to go for another 9 seasons and ruin the show. I mean have you even seen the crap that happened in S12 and S13 this would've been the perfect show with the perfect ending if it had ended here.

For every hardcore Supernatural fan. For every lover of Sam and Dean. For every pleasured soul who has enjoyed watching this show since 2005, when all hell broke loose, then you'll love season 5's finale episode.

Eric Kripke, you should be proud of yourself. Cause your writing is the best damn thing, and it works. Robert Singer, your directing in this episode was brilliant. And Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Mischa Collins, Mark Pellegrino, Jake Abel and Rob Benedict your acting made us all cry, or made me cry. I feel like thanking, cause this episode was epic.

I'll not spoil anything for those who are reading this, cause you need to watch it with all of your heart. Everything was amazing in this final episode. It was tragic, emotional, exciting, brutal and heart-breaking. That's all I'm going to reveal. I could praise the actors/actress to the skies, and the writers, directors of this show and in this season. This season finale showed how accomplished this show is. The last five years Supernatural have been the most successful show, according to me. But this final episode also showed that it the most original show.

I cried my way through the last 15 minutes; I even had to put on a new layer of makeup.

Somehow it was almost like watching the series final episode. But I'm definitely looking forward to the 6th season.

LMAO at the reviewer who suggests this episode was bad and the show is out of new ideas and "starting to run out of steam" etc. Here we are another 5 seasons later and it's still going - stronger than ever so bet your face is red now mate! I've only just started watching this show and have been binge watching each season because it's so riveting. This episode was fantastic and I loved it's unpredictability. Yeah we all knew certain things were likely, I don't think the writers ever pretended otherwise - so they ran with it and still gave us many surprises. Other reviewers have covered some of the most magic moments of this finale so I wont. Suffice to say it was a deserving finish to what has been a stunning 5th season of this show. I can't praise this series enough. This episode gets 10 of 10 from me.

Swan Song is the best episode of Supernatural.

I like season 3 to 6 best.
