And Jack is born, Castiel’s (and later the Winchesters’) adoptive son, whom Cas is convinced will create a paradise in the future. We meet Apocalypse World Bobby, and while he can never really replace the Bobby the boys knew and loved, he brings some essential Bobby-ness back into the show. On the other hand, we gain two new characters. (Oh, and Castiel dies again too, but of course that doesn’t stick). We lose one of the show’s few regular characters, Mark Sheppard’s Crowley, along with a newer, highly likeable, recurring character, Courtney Ford’s Kelly Kline, both in moving self-sacrifices that honor the characters and their development. All Along The Watchtower (Season 12, Episode 22)ĭeath and life have always gone hand in hand in Supernatural, and nowhere is that clearer than in this game-changing season finale. Watch if you like: Family melodrama, demon arc plots, Bobby 23. Quotable: “The storm’s coming, and you boys, your Daddy – you are smack in the middle of it” (Bobby) Most important of all, though, this is the episode that introduces Jim Beaver’s Bobby Singer, who would become the Winchesters’ surrogate father, and whose particular brand of caring, with a hefty dose of calling them idjits, was always entertaining with a warmth underneath the humour. This episode sets up much of how the show will work, including the important detail that demons possess innocent humans, which led to our heroes spending some years trying to avoid killing them where possible (before they eventually gave up on that one). The arc plot kicked up a gear, Winchesters pointed guns at each other, and the whole thing ended in a nail-biting cliff-hanger. Supernatural’s very first season finale set the tone for many more finales to come. Watch if you like: Tragic melodrama, great music, Bobby 24.

Quotable: “Always keep fighting” (Dean, to Sam)

The music choices for the episode are perfectly on point – it almost seems strange we haven’t heard ‘Brothers in Arms’ before – and finally the promise of ‘Carry On, Wayward Son’ is fulfilled, as “surely Heaven waits for you”.īest moment: Hearing the voice of Original Bobby (not Apocalypse World Bobby) for the first time since Season 11.

Heaven has undergone some drastic improvements since we last saw it and the afterlife is no longer strangely lonely and depressing. If that’s you, we understand your issues with it – see our ‘Dishonorable Mentions’ list.īut for others, while this ending was somewhat marred by coronavirus restrictions (which are surely to blame for Sam’s wife being blurred in the background instead of clearly shown to be Eileen, and possibly for the absence of Castiel as well), there were also moments of emotional catharsis and beauty. And for the many fans that hate it, they really, really hate it.
Hey man nice shot supernatural series#
We’re being controversial right off the bat, as the series finale has fans split right down the middle between feeling pretty pleased with it and absolutely hating it.
