Swan Song

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.

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.

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!!

Well, what can I say. Very little compared to what has been said before. This was a very best series finale. It went from making me laugh out loud to making me want to cry.

The thing I love about the Supernatural series is the fact that they don't feel the need for bigger and better special effects as they build up to their finales. Don't get me wrong, the special effects are top-notch. But it seems that Kripke and co. depend more on plot and story to sell their series.

This is, of course, absolutely fine. In fact, it's better then fine. It's the way it's supposed to be. Please Kripke and co. talk to Micheal Bay, you could probably point out to him what's wrong with Transformers 2. Always before, Hollywood has relied on increasing special effects to sell their ongoing story lines. Supernatural does not do that, but increases it's storyline instead, and this finale proves it.

Right now, I think Kipke and co. could teach Hollywood a very big lesson (take a look between MIB and MIB2). All I can say, is thank you Kripke and co. you've done us all proud. You've taken us out of the range of idiots to the intelligent audience again. And I know, I'm reviewing the finale of the fifth series before it even comes out here in the UK, but I'm not sharing it, and I will damn well buy the box set when it comes out, so that negates any indiscretion. I know your doing a sixth series, I hope to heaven and hell that your keep the same philosophy in story telling, though I'm sure you will.

Swan Song is the best episode of Supernatural.

I like season 3 to 6 best.
