Oh lord poor Jared, he was in tears just discussing this, so sensitive...in a good way!

Love this guy.

You still alive

[@Werewolf914]

Is anyone else annoyed they showed the end in the recap/interview/look back show before the finale actually aired? I don't get why they didn't air it after the finale, like knowing the last 15 minutes of the finale made it so once the episode started it was ruined and I was like well this and this will happen to them (I won't spoil it in case someone still hasn't watched it) Had they not spoiled it right before I would've loved the finale, but with it spoiled I was just like honestly too annoyed to really enjoy it, the next time I rewatch the show I'm sure I'll appreciate it.

[@MangoBabyRican]

Not Jared on the verge of tears when she mentioned Jensen's boots

[@GeekyNerdTheatre]

I'm constantly impressed with his willingness to be this open and vulnerable in these discussions. It's challenging enough to do that as an actor and put that energy into a character, but seeing him put that same kind of energy into a conversation about the show or sometimes even his personal life- it's just incredible. I think it says a lot about who he is as a person.

[@zoebrooks166]

He's just such a genuine cute little bean 😍 there is nothing phoney or fake about him he's Very humble from what I can tell some ppl in this industry come across as ohh so amazing and all that blah blah but it's just fake smoke and mirrors and all that or even so up themselves it's ridiculous but they fool u into thinking u are this amazing person but I don't get that vibe from Jared he does come across as a lovely genuine heart felt caring person who knows what it's like to struggle with mental health I feel he's more down to earth and connected with ppl unlike some.... but then again my radar could be totally wrong but I really don't think so 🤣 I'm so glad he's getting his own show he's so earned it truly deserves it I'm so pleased for him and super excited x

[@mary-tk2is]

I was an emotional wreck watching last night's episode. Such an amazing job by Jensen & Jared!! The bond they shared as brothers on screen has carried over to their lives...what a gift for both of them.❤❤

[@kasandrayust2073]

:( I havnt made it that far im only on like season 4 or 5 and im already sad knowing they die.... :(

[@undomyhead4557]

@@kasandrayust2073 I think that's what both Jensen and Jared meant when they said it's hard to take, but it's good for the story. They've been carrying on for all of these years and now they finally get the peace that they deserve. That's how I see it anyways. You have many great seasons left to enjoy! I wish I could go back and rewatch it for the first time

I cried so much! I have only been watching since season 12 after binging the previous seasons, but this show has gotten me through so many hard times the last couple years. A lot of people I know are complaining about this ending but I thought it was just a beautiful way to let the characters go even though it was sad 😭

[@coaisiel5204]

I don't think I’ve accepted the fact that the last episode is airing tonight. It’s been an amazing journey.

[@BrainInJar]

I think Dean deserved to have at least 10 more years to live. I don't like that they killed him right after he won. He didn't have any time to enjoy his free will.

[@parks1888]

I personally love the ending bc it’s tragic

[@TheFraeuleinGlitzer]

I thought it would have been more tragic but also right for Dean to have to live without Sam and Cas and figure out a way to have a life. But I guess, Dean never would have been able to do that. So him being able to say good bye like this, go down in a fight on his own volition, exercising his free will in saying: it’s okay, I’m fine with this. He never would have become a Bobby, stepping back and letting other, younger hunters deal with the monsters... he’d have gone down fighting anyway at some point...this way at least he could give Sam the out. Because Sam never would have left the hunting life because Dean never would have left the hunting life. Never would have taken what he secretly wanted, a normal life. Was it bitter sweet, yes. Would I have loved to see more of the cast return in the final episode, sure. COVID nixed us off that. Was it a bit cheesy, yes. But cheesy is only bad when you’re cynical and bitter. Cheesy can be just something nice and fluffy to let yourself smile a wistful smile at the end of something magnificent. I admit I was a bit weirded out at first about the finale, and I’m sure it would have been fan-favourite filled to the brim hadn’t that stupid pandemic come around two weeks before it was actually supposed to be shot...nothing is perfect, supernatural surely wasn’t. Do I love it regardless? Hell yes! And I’m sure, after 15!!!!!! years, they did the best they could under the circumstances to send us and the show off. And that’s all I and any of us can ask for from people who have given us so much with what they’ve created. Always keep fighting. This has gotten longer than I anticipated but there we go.

[@Caramelletje]

I'm pretty sure he wanted a 'normal life' but he got less than deserved. The ending would've made sense if season 5 was the end but not after season 15. They literally defeated god, there's no way dean would be killed by a vampire. The alpha couldn't even do that

[@ivanalejandrocastilloalvar6822]

They live 5 years free. Jared say it in a interview.

[@NipplWizard]

He spent the whole series wanting to die, wanting peace. He got it, just not how he expected. Sam wanted out, to have a normal life, and like Dean, wanted peace. He got it, just not how he wanted. Its poetic justice.

[@carlosbright9615]

I just watched the finale episode of Supernatural Thursday 11/19/2020. I have mixed feelings about how my favorite series ended. However, I am glad Dean and Sam Winchester ended up together in the end. The two actors Jenson Ackles and Jared Padalecki portraying the Winchester brothers will always have a special place in my heart. They brought joy and happiness in my life each week for 1 hour for 15 years.😭Take care guys and I will miss you each week in my home. 😭

[@lorraineurusaro8345]

I've been crying for a week i don't want it to end , but today on the day the finale airs i feel proud of this amazing show, proud of these 15years of tears and laughter and love, i'm happy i followed the show since the beginning and loved every moment of it. Though i'm sad to see it end i'm happy for the memories and the family we all are part of. Thanks to Kripke , Jared,Jensen, Misha and the whole SPN cast and crew and good luck in their respective future projects.

I'm sure i am going to like the episodes but the final goodbye and being involved and reading theories and opinions before an episode is out is what makes the whole thing great.
