Yes, it's true. 15 years and 307 episodes later, Supernatural is coming to an end. Season 15 will be its last. Now I'll never get to see geriatric Sam and Dean hunting ghosts in their retirement home. :cry::cry:

THE ROAD SO FAR

The epic journey of the Winchester brothers come to a close as Supernatural enters its final season. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have battled demons and angels, mythical creatures and monsters, in a seemingly unending quest to save the world. But in the final battle of the show's 14th season, they face off against God Himself (Rob Benedict), refusing to kill their surrogate nephilim son Jack (Alexander Calvert), and thus bringing about God's decision to end this reality once and for all...

Current status of Team Free Will (+others):

Mary: Obliterated at the atomic level by an out-of-control Jack. Quite possibly the only character that is not coming back (until she does)

Dean: Devastated by the loss of his mother, Dean sees no other option but to kill an increasingly powerful and now-soulless Jack. Chuck gives him a special gun that can kill anything, but will inflict the same damage on the shooter as the shootee. Dean realizes he can't shoot Jack, angering Chuck. Realizes Chuck has been playing them all along.

Sam: Shoots Chuck with the Equalizer, which does nothing but injure himself and bring on the 3rd? 4th? apocalypse. Nice work, Sam.

Castiel: Prayed to Chuck to help them stop Jack. Probably regrets that now.

Chuck: He's back, he's pissed, and he's decided to rage quit the whole "God" thing. His experiment with this iteration of Earth is over. He's opened the gates of Hell and let out every evil thing the Winchester's put in there.

Jack: Since he burned away what remained of his human soul, he's ended up in The Empty after being killed by Chuck. Death stops by to say they have work to do, and camera fades to black...

:siren: Supernatural's FINAL SEASON starts Thursday, October 10 at 8pm EST on the CW :siren:
(and streams next day for free on https://www.cwtv.com/shows/supernatural/)

I hope they aren't dumb enough to kill the boys off at the end so we can get a film in 10 years.

I feel like I've read enough not-so-subtle comments from the producers and actors that seem like they're totally open to making a movie sometime down the road that, if the money's there, it's likely to happen.

Or at least that's what I'm telling myself rn. :(

There are some incredible episodes in season 13 (Baby, Scoobynatural) so if you're going to skip things, at least watch those. But really, I wouldn't skip anything.

Edit: 2 week later edit when I realize Baby was season 11 and not 13.....

With the exception of the ghosts just...running down an empty street in broad daylight, that was pretty ok? Not a single comment from Sam about clowns though, what the hell.

Michael Rosenbaum (CW's Smallville) has a podcast and had Mark Sheppard, Misha Collins, Jared Padalecki, and Jensen Ackles on it last week, for an hour each individually. I've only gotten through Mark and Misha's episodes but they are really great, so I wanted to share:

Do they go into Sheppard's dismissal and his current feelings/chance of returning?

At least from this podcast, it sounds more like he was frustrated at being paid less for being a series regular vs guest star, and may have left over that, and not any kind of drama with the producers. He does talk about his last episode and how some lines he wrote himself were cut. Kinda seemed like he personally thought bringing Crowley back from the dead would do the character a disservice, but I feel more hopeful now that they might be able to get him back for an ep or two than before I listened.

Well that was certainly a better episode than the season opener, and ghosts running around in broad daylight was a bit less silly this time around. I am intrigued to see where they are going to take the bullet wound connection. Also Amara rules.

I didn't really like the resolution of the bullet wound, but I like that they've set up the necessity of God's presence itself. My guess for how this ends: Since they can't kill or trap him, they will replace him... with Jack.

I dunno, he already kinda hosed up his chance to be the replacement God back in the last season (or maybe it was season 13). Can he make more angels? Or maybe he and Death can wake up all the (arch)angels in the Darkness and bring them all back to repower Heaven? Not sure what that would actually do though....

The idea that they never knew how to pick locks, just kind of stuck a bit of metal in there and wiggled it around and the lock popped open because they were the protagonists and "that's how the story goes" is hilarious to me. :roflolmao:

I’ve been going through Supernatural for the first time ever since March and I’ve been really enjoying the ride but I just got to the Season 6 episode where J2 get transported to our universe where Supernatural is a TV show and it was so great that I’m scared to continue because I’m worried it can’t possibly be anything but a letdown from here on out.

Before I watched Supernatural I always heard people ragging everything past season 5 but I thought they were almost all really great, I mean you've got soulless Sam, Leviathans, Abaddon. And yeah you still haven't gotten to Scoobynatural or Baby!

I'm rewatching the first half of this season since I can barely remember what even happened and man, the decision to have their big ghost showdown in eps 1-3 in broad daylight is just as stupid now as it was when I watched it the first time.

So uhhh what the hell was going on in that episode? The daughter is mad at her dad because her mom died so she takes it out on the church parishioners? Except the mom died from some kind of illness...?? And we're supposed to believe this teenager is some kind of electronics/engineering wiz to pull off all these murders I guess lmao.

Also how did the crossroads demon just walk right by Cas and be Jack and they didn't even recognize him???

Not great

I can't even guess how they're going to tie things up. I feel like everyone but Sam and Dean are going to end up dead, but then I also think they'll leave things such that they could revisit things in a miniseries or movie format in the future?? Or maybe I just hope they revisit it in the future :ohdear:

I guess I knew that was coming but I ugly cried anyway. :cry:

Edit: gently caress it gonna just spoiler the whole post

Other thoughts:

-So who comes back as the new death now? Kinda hope they get old death back, he was awesome

-Bloody handprint on Dean's shoulder was a pretty cool callback

-Half expected Jack to disappear at the end there too

-I guess Chuck creating Hell on Earth and killing literally everyone but Sam and Dean works out real well while you're filming during a pandemic

-They're gonna bring Cas back for the finale, right? :ohdear:

I am totally aware of Destiel shippers but I guess I didn't really see it as a confession of romantic love. I think the thing he wanted but knew he could never have was family-even at the end there Dean is saying they should have stayed with Sam and Jack. Seems like no matter what is going on, some member of the group is in peril/hosed off somewhere/etc and they're never all actually together. Same thing happened with Sam and Dean through most of the series, they only got both their dad and mom back for a single day thanks to magic. But I'm fine if people want to interpret it the other way too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

definitely should have been Jack instead of Cas tho

Tiggum posted:

The fact that it's so easy to interpret that way is one of the major problems with leaving it like that. It's an absolutely perfect example of queerbaiting, which is something the show has been criticised for for years.

I'm not sure they're guilty of it, at least not for the Dean/Cass relationship. Dean is the most hetero dude on the whole show, and I don't really think there has ever been a moment of sexual ambiguity between them in canon. I know a large and very vocal group of fans want there to be, but I don't really agree that there is or that this is queerbaiting.
