I wish this show had remained with its original premise...

....A family hunting the supernatural. When they got into the Angel's and God it got too heavy handed and that is what the show ultimately was about. Than they make god the actual villain. I mean where do you really go from there? Nowhere of course. Can never be a supernatural reunion because the ultimate villain was defeated and they would just be spinning their wheels. Plus well Sam and Dean are dead now. I just wish the ending would have been opened and they would have downplayed the God thing. Maybe Chuck and Amara were just cosmic beings with God Complexes and they didnt really create like they claimed. Still i did enjoy the show. I liked most of the characters and Jack was a good addition later on. And of course Mrs. Butters. Too bad they didnt come up with her sooner. Lol

Oh well glad its finally done. It wasnt awful. Just wish it would not have had so much finality to it during it's mostly entire run..

Thank you for this. Because I am generally baffled by some members of the SPN fandom who claim this show was rock solid for 15 whole seasons. I'm baffled by the fandom who so desperately want it to come back and thinks there's more to tell.

I love the first four seasons. I also really enjoyed Seasons 8 and 9. 11,12,13 were mediocre and 6,7,14,15 were hopeless, redundant, recycled junk. 5 and 10 were middle of the road, but the S5 ending was great.

Making Chuck a villain was terrible. Cas was great in the beginning but overstayed his welcome. Lucifer overstayed his welcome. Bringing everyone back to life over and over again became maddening. The subplots in hell...did anyone care about what was going on in hell? The angel stuff was just as bad as the stuff in hell. The finale was dog vomit.

I'm happy it's done and I don't want any revivals. I hope the prequel show doesn't last.

I loved how God had written both their lives, that I thought was rather genius writing. It made me look at this show differently. I had my doubts with Rob playing God, I still don't think he played him as a villain as well as he could have. I also get what your saying about Cas and Lucifer overstaying their welcome since they couldn't wait to get rid of Crowley for less. Bringing back dead characters became lame Bobby cough Bobby is a prime example. Fan service gone OTT. I did however, love S5+10. I also have my reservations about the prequel.

Writing there lives was not a genius move. It was silly and basically meant they were never in control.

Agree Galactus. Terrible

That was the whole point, that they were not in control. That's what made it creepy, twisted and any other word that I can't think of. The writers wanted you to feel bad for the boys that they were being used as pawns in his game. It also made them aware of how monsters could twist their lives, and use them when they felt like it. Who would have thought that God was the evil bad guy who wrote the story of two poster boys who lived on a hamster wheel going round and round. But what surprised me, that it took them long enough to work it out that they were being used.

God writing endings are hard he knew how he wanted to end their story, if he wanted to make them into heroes or myths. Either way God couldn't get any more twisted and a man without any feeling that he could day in day out make their lives a living hell. Kripke sort of started that story back in S5 and God ending up without any power gave him the ending he totally deserved.

So NO, I don't think it was terrible, it was pure awesomeness wrapped up in chaos....

For FIFTEEN seasons??? No. It was dumb.
