Sam's main love interest this season has been Eileen ( Shoshannah Stern), a fellow hunter, and while she did not make an appearance herself, the actor who plays Sam's son shares her oval face and dark hair, which may have been a deliberate casting decision. We see that his grown son has an anti-possession tattoo. The house that we see him raising his family in and finally dying in as an old man is practically a reproduction of the "Bobby's house" set. He answered one of Dean's cell phones to play FBI agent.
To be fair, Supernatural gave us hints that this isn't entirely what Sam's post-Dean life was. Then Dean dies, and Sam.runs off and gets married and has a kid named Dean *eye roll* and gets to have the blissfully normal life he always wanted and was on track to have until Dean showed up at Stanford and ruined everything. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, Supernatural CW They're at peace and they actually didn't even have to die this time to get it. Dean showed up at Sam's door and dragged him back into that life, setting everyone down the road to literal Hell, but 15 seasons later, we see that the brothers have adapted and seem to finally be content. It's implied that this was a traumatic event for his family, and well into Supernatural's run, "Sam runs away to college" is still bandied about as the Ultimate Betrayal in Winchester mythology. Way back in 2005, in those heady days before iPhones, Snapchat, and, frankly, before some of Supernatural's current audience may have even been born, we were introduced to Sam Winchester ( Jared Padalecki), who had run away from his freaky hunter family to have a normal life. Let's take a moment to acknowledge what an odd episode "Carry On" is, in that it goes against so much of the show's own messaging. Finally, someone said it! But this is the point of the episode at which the klaxon started going off in my head as I realized we still had about 30 minutes left and. I loved that there were foreheads touching and "I love you"s and man-tears and promises not to bring anyone back from the dead because that always goes wrong. I loved that it was a stupid accident that happened on a random, largely forgettable hunt.
#SUPERNATURAL FINALE SERIES#
It had its moments.ĭiscover your new favorite show: Watch This Now!ĭean Winchester's ( Jensen Ackles) final death scene was one of the greatest death scenes in a series that has turned death scenes into an art form. This show has so much to be proud of, and I'm not even going to go as far as to say that "Carry On" is not one of those things.
Furthermore, there is so much within those 15 seasons that is fantastic and innovative and that the retrospective that aired prior to the actual finale deservedly celebrated. That's fair because this cast and crew gave us 15 seasons. On the other hand, my significant other walked in as the credits rolled and asked how my "religious experience" went and when I shrugged and went "Ehhhh?" he took it upon himself to defend the show's honor with, "They gave you 15 seasons.
You know, the one that was entirely unnecessary and had an "unfortunately trite fan fiction" vibe? On one hand, I want to wallow in the inherent bitterness that comes with being a highly opinionated Supernatural fan who has not gotten her way. I'm just going to come right out and say it: The Supernatural series finale read like the epilogue to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
