The s5 finale was originally intended to be the series finale. They did not anticipate Supernatural being renewed for a 6th season, so they altered it slightly to continue--particularly the appearance of Jared at the end. It also culminates the end of creator Eric Kripke's time as showrunner and writer. It is definitely an ending, of sorts, for Supernatural.

I’ve heard something along those lines at work. Some of my co-workers that have seen this have gone so far as to say that it should have been the ending, the argument they gave being in terms of villainous threats, how do you top the devil. Haven’t seen much of the show past this point myself, so I have no idea what villains will be featured in the future. Though I suspect that if this show ran for fifteen years, they had to have come up with a fair amount of credible and memorable villains for the Winchester brothers to face off against.

Treehouse Tales

As mentioned above, this was originally intended to be the end of the show. I do find it most useful to approach Supernatural as three different shows, and seasons 1-5 are Sam's story. He's in the rest of the show, but it's not really about him anymore.

"Is Sam God?" Wouldn't that be a twist! This definitely works for me as the series finale and has the markings of a cohesive story being told by the creator. I like that it's bittersweet and the growth in the brothers feels authentic. Sam got to die a hero & Dean got the chance at having a "normal" life. I was OK with things being left a little open ended, but I'm not surprised it continues because the brothers are compelling.

It’s interesting you say that, and, in fairness, perhaps I’ve read things wrong, but I was under the impression that the show thus far has been primarily Dean’s story. Or at the very least, Sam has been the focal character, but we’re seeing his journey through Dean’s point of view. Again, it’s very possible that I’m reading things wrong, if so, I apologize.

I'd agree. I think the series started as Sam's show, as until maybe end of seasons 2, viewers primarily got Sam's POV. I don't think the showrunners anticipated how popular Dean would be as well, and I think that changed more to being told primarily through Dean's perspective with seasons 3-4-5.

It's from Dean's perspective (the entire show kind of is), but the narrative for seasons 1-5 is really about Sam. It's like how the Sherlock Holmes books are from Watson's perspective even though they aren't about him.

Sam was always based on Luke Skywalker and Dean on Han Solo. That really doesn't change throughout the series - much like Star Wars. Jensen was given a lot of leeway to develop his character and yes, Dean has always been popular (just like Han Solo)...however, the show is about Sam and his heroes journey through Dean's eyes. This has never been a secret...it's been said in multiple interviews with cast, crew and TPTB.

Yep. The S6 renewal was around the midseason finale, so the back half of S5 had to be adjusted to accommodate. Adam being brought back was the biggest piece, as it was originally meant to be Sam/Luci vs Dean/Michael with them both sacrificing themselves to eternity in the cage. None of our cast was supposed to live. Kripke did end up hanging around and helping the transition of S6 and even wrote the finale - but he was no longer showrunner. He also helped storyboard S7, but only in a limited capacity.

I always thought Dean would somehow throw himself into that hole after Sam, so Kripke's original end is very interesting!

This is one of my favorite episodes of television of all time, and my favorite episode of SPN . I still remember watching this live in 2010. The fandom was blown away and freaking out . Sam and Dean’s love saved the world! So many iconic scenes. The Baby speech, the flash backs ( the sound of the wind stopping as they hug! 😭) Dean refusing to leave Sam and the army man a symbol of their childhood and their love for each other helping Sam regain control. Dean not wanting to go on, only wanting to get Sam back or die trying. Kripke’s original plan for the ending before the show was renewed was for both Sam and Dean to jump into hell together. Better dead together than separated. It would have been devastating but also a perfect ending for a horror show about two brothers. Sam and Dean belong together no matter whh
