Swan Song is the best episode of Supernatural.
I like season 3 to 6 best.
I like season 3 to 6 best.
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!!
The best part of this episode is when Dean decides Sam can't go alone. He goes to the cemetery and blasts his music. I love the song choice. It is great to see Sam/Lucifer and Adam/Michael's faces. They are just so shocked that Dean would show up. It is just another reason I love this show. Dean and Sam are the best brothers. They support each other no matter what. I have watched since day one. I hope they will still give us a couple of more years. I love seeing what the writers come up with next. Best show on Television!!!!!!
This is the true ending of our show, this is the real supernatural, emotional, epic and magnificent.
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.

- TriviaWas supposed to be the series finale. Eric Kripke initially planned for Supernatural to be five seasons long. That is exactly why the episode is named "Swan Song" (goodbye) with a voice-over and flashbacks. But Sera Gamble, the new show-runner, took over penning it from season six and on.
- GoofsAt the point when Lucifer kills Bobby, Crowley owns his soul. So Bobby should have gone to Hell at least briefly. So it seems like one way or the other, Bobby's contract with Crowley should have been complete. When Castiel brought him back, it should've been with a clean slate.
