[@winchesters8594]

This makes it even more emotional because this was actually Jared and Jensen’s first time hearing the girls sing. That was their actual reaction.

[@JeremySonyWrites]

One of my favorite episodes! So many fun call backs. And then after that emotional "Carry On" moment, the surprise ending with Chuck showing up was a double whammy of feelings at the time because this aired about a year after Rob Benedict's stroke, so to see him on screen again was amazing.

[@crystalfire5564]

I love watching Sam and Dean while Carry On My Wayward Son is playing. They seem really moved.

[@justteroro]

That's because it wasn't Sam and Dean's reaction. It was Jared and Jensen's. They hadn't heard the actors sing yet at that moment, so it was their first time hearing the performance.

[@Faction.Paradox]

Sam & Dean are like ".....it really has been ten years of trauma for us hasn't it?"

[@ljbimoore]

Oh, way more than ten - like 32 years of trauma. 😭😭

[@rtozier2011]

@@ljbimoore 50 for Dean. And if time in the Cage runs at the same rate as the rest of Hell, 191.5 for Sam (10 + 180 + Soulless Sam's 1.5 on Earth).

[@marbleb33s]

​@@rtozier2011 spoiler for season 15: meanwhile Adam was in hell for over 10 years. Meaning he was in the cage for 1200 years. Kinda insane that he isn't a broken mess. Thanks to Micheal I guess.

[@rtozier2011]

@@marbleb33s You shouldn't be posting spoilers for Season 15 on here. At least put more space before it (several lines).

[@zebrion5793]

This is legitimately one of my favorite episodes in the entire show, because the writers are very self-aware and know how fans perceive everything. Then they swing it right back around and tell us that it doesn't matter if it's formulaic - because it works. It's a timeless style of storytelling. It just goes to show how good the actors are, that they can sell a fairly predictable story and make it feel grounded and realistic.

[@JariSatta]

Samulet, single man-tear, ghost facers, it's all real to us fans

[@helenwood8482]

We love this one so much. It was a love letter to the fans.

[@minuette1752]

Yep its a good one.

[@RB-km4om]

As far as I know, these kind of episodes are loved by the fandom :) I believe this on is in the favorites - list of most fans of Spn :) Also a little bis of trivia on how powerful the fandom is : For season 7 (might have been 6 or 8) the show was put on Fridays where shows usually don't survive long. Spn did and was moved to Wednesdays the following year :) Oh, and charities. There was a campaign by Jared years ago called "Always Keep Fighting". Basically addressing everyone dealing with depression or even suicide. Misha and Jensen started "You're not alone" another campaign helping people. I'm not sure if it was part of this campaign, but they also set up an emergency hotline for people dealing with suicide thoughts. There was a team that vetted volunteers and those volunteers spend lots of their own time on the phone talking to others. Misha also co - founded Random Acts (Rachel Miner - 2. Meg- is director of that one now, by the way ). Gishwes has stopped now, but it was a scavenger hunt organised by Misha and his team which included lots of items focused on helping people. One of the first actions of Gish (or Random Acts) was to build an orphanage in Haiti after the Tsunami back in 04. The Fandom collected/donated a lot of money, the orphanage was bult and it's still standing today (surviving a few bad weather conditions after). It even served as a shelter during those conditions. The man who built the orphanage was a retired subway construction worker and made sure it was stable. All of this would not have been possible if not for the power of this fandom :)

[@RustyRagesRegularly]

This is one of my favorite episodes. They do a great job of toeing the line between poking fun and respecting the fandom. I’m pretty sure most fans are like me where they love these kind of episodes.

[@thegingergyrl455]

We, the fans, love these episodes. I cry during Carry On My Wayward Son every time. It’s brilliant. Seeing Rob at the end ,a year after he had his stroke, was so wonderful. ✌🏻👩🏻‍🦰👍🏻

[@jdnaz1288]

Same, love this one...as well, as their other meta episodes, they always nail those.

[@ElysiaFields19]

This is often referred to as A Love Letter to the Fans. Every time I watch this I fail to get through Carry On without tears. If you ever get the chance, there is a bts video that is so worth the watch. There were some great celebrations by both cast and crew and fans - a big watch party for fans. The 200th Episode premiere was really a special moment in time for us all. 💖

[@Jb-id1bu]

Lmao. I always die at Jensen's slow turn and deadpan stare at the camera after the Destiel conversation. And then Sam just immediately picking apart the name, and wondering why nobody is shipping hi m and Cas. 🤣🤣🤣 When they bring up poor Adam always hurts me though. 😅

[@butterflyslinky]

The thing is that "A Single Man Tear" is actually a really good song? It's very clear that a good song writer did all the songs trying to make them sound bad but couldn't quite pull it off. And I always tear up at their Carry On Wayward Son.

[@jaderush4141]

A Single Man Tear is an incredible song, unironically Every time she sings "I wish that he could see the way I see him / The perfect brother, a man without sin" I just want to cry

[@jdnaz1288]

Fun Fact: The Scarecrow is played by John DeSantis, who also played The Golem in the episode "Everybody Hates Hitler".

[@shayshanshoon]

I remember the chaos on tumblr when this aired. I still break into Single Man Tear sometimes

[@Axetwin]

I know I've already been a bit negative about this season overall, but this episode. THIS EPISODE is easily top 5 of the entire series. i love this one so much. That cover of Carry On gives me chills everytime I hear it.

[@gregharker1600]

Shorty after seeing this, my wife and I saw one of the kids working in a restaurant.

[@lwalker12]

Love this ep so much, its such a love letter to its fans. Its them say yes, we see you and we love it too. Also they kept J2 away from the rehursals so that thè first time they saw the wayward sons was on tape so that is their reactions.

[@pashortt123]

I loved this episode Having "Mary" start Carry On was *genius* and I love that after all the fandom jokes that song got played straight, like it was actually reaching out to Sam and Dean

[@lunarion8501]

That last scene with Chuck is perfect. I love it even more now that I'm rewatching all the show

[@ShakiraSmylie]

This episode was of my favorite from season 10 so far and i have to say that Jared and Jensen are very amazing actors and kind people ❤

[@tearez13]

not this episode making me bawl my eyes out all over again you know who knows how many years slater

[@therealmfbtl]

I'd be lying if I didn't say that the Carry On My Wayward Son cover creates the single man tear everytime.

[@UatuOmega]

Yay! I've really been looking forward to you reaching this episode; it's fantastic!

[@ashleymcgowan8421]

Totally forgot where you were & when this episode would come up, and I got so excited when I saw you post!! 🤩 This is one of my favorite episodes, I see it as such a love letter to the fans & the show as a whole. The songs are so well done & the references definitely ride that line between silly and poignant. It’s so excellent. Your reaction was great & so relatable- even after seeing the episode many times, that final song still always gets me too! 🙌🏻❤️

[@Lordoftheapes79]

I think what really pulls the end of the episode together is that during this rendition of Wayward Son is how it just makes you feel hopeful. For me, I see the number of people that made good descisions to get them to this point and it is more inspiring than it has any business being.

[@andreawest2194]

This episode was truly fan service in a way and it delivered, the girls singing carry on wayward son was just the cherry on top

[@treyokelly9662]

Marie realizing and calling "Agent Smith" Dean and giving him the prop Samulet always gets me

[@dawn_bestofj2]

The end gets me every time. Even just watching your reaction to Carry On Wayward Son made me tear up. I loved this episode but I know there were some who didn’t. Overall it was well-received. Chuck at the end made me scream out loud when I watched it when it organically aired.

[@RealSundanceGarden]

As a fan, I feel like they poke fun, but never in a mean way. I love all the meta episodes, and I truly love this episode. So well done.

[@JacksWorldYT]

Legit been waiting for this one since you started

[@infinitelybi2064]

OMG!! 😂 I absolutely remember the night this aired Live!! I was laughing, crying and just having a good time!! ❤❤ Its like EVERYTHING the Fandom had been saying, Meme-ing, and its just a love letter the the Fans honestly ❤️ Its was like the creators LISTENED and WATCHED the Fandom, which enabled them to make ALL the jokes and nods that us as fans had been pointing out since S5 😂

[@marinasenseless474]

I feel like most of us really loved this episode. Especially the part about how everyone can have their own interpretation of the story and how that's actually pretty amazing hits home for a lot of fans with all the fan fiction that's been written about this show. Fans were seen and appreciated with this episode

[@itumelengmasemola717]

I was so excited for you to watch this episode!

[@stedean245]

This was why they had to cut the Demon Dean storyline short. They originally planned for it to last longer, but they wanted to do something special for the 200th episode.

[@Skeezer66]

The throwaway line about the wig being art of her one woman "Orphan Black" show was Fantastic!!!! Also, the girl in the red beret (Marie?) was giving me Max J. Fisher vibes in "Rushmore". Come to think of it, this was definitely a "Rushmore" homage too!!

[@davidbourhenne8540]

This is one of the top episodes for me. I always loved the ones that went sideways and where they had fun. Like the one where Loki had them bouncing from TV series to TV series or other similar one. Don't want to spoil anything for you. But they have some really fun and off the wall episodes to come.

[@mattgale69]

When chuck appears: Oh. My. God.

[@profdracko]

Top 5 best episodes imo. Love it way too much

[@txsportsfreak02]

You hit 200! Congrats!!

[@tigerpinky]

yes, this was a great 200th episode.

[@carlwilhelm2307]

I've been waiting for you to see this.

[@rebexca3]

One of my top 10 episodes. Love this one so much

[@Wannabe_Baby]

I'm watching Supernatural for the first time with you and when this episode started, I was expecting to dislike it. Cringed at the first song, don't like most of the "meta" storytelling and when it comes to the "fangirl" parodies, I still have bad flashbacks about Becky ... but by the end of the episode, when they were singing "Carry On My Wayward Son", I got a bit teary-eyed! That was a surprise. Had no idea it was the 200th episode when I watched it either, so that was neat. Oh, and I loved seeing Ash being represented in the play, in the background when Dean was giving his motivational speech.

[@kateorgera5907]

I mean look, there are cringe toxic fans who harass real people over fictional problems (the ones most likely to get writers' attention for the wrong reasons) and there are actual passionate but respectful fans. I'm glad this episode acknowledged the other, larger side of things.

[@Nah_Mate_Aint_Nowt_UoK]

You know, this has been... Educational... Seeing the story from your perspective. You keep writing, Shakespeare. Even if it doesn't match how you see it? I have my version, and you have yours . These lines I think is the best message to the fans - I read it as we have different visions for the the show but we get it and respect it.

[@alanedwards4699]

One of my favorite episodes right here.

[@JoshuaHillmanatorHillman]

This, funnily enough, was the first episode of spn i ever watched. Was a wild one

[@katherinehutton9870]

I loved it the first time ,I loved it this time. Yes, there are a lot of stuff from the fandom in it.

[@ShannonJayde]

One of my favourite episodes haha ❤

[@patrickmcguire7896]

Love this episode purely due to the brothers reactions to everything! When they realized this was a musical of their lives and when Dean heard about Destiel for the first time (Hey man as long as its not with your brother you should be happy!). And of course I love of the show takes advantage of their own crazy fan base and gave them a tribute episode

[@vitnersantos]

Amazing 200th episode

[@BlahBlahWoofWoof12]

I absolutely love this episode. It's in the top tier of my favorites for the whole series. The music, the comedy, callbacks to past episodes, it really is a love song to both the show & the fans.

[@tystratton-quirk9859]

Normally, I'm not a fan of meta episodes; they generally either go for too much or not enough. I've binged Supernatural at least half a dozen times, and while there are a few episodes I skip over, this isn't one of them. Everything was great: Sam and Dean were in character, the songs and production were exactly what you'd expect from a high school production, and-best of all- the final guest star wasn't listed in the opening credits, which is a highly unusual occurrence in this show.

[@msgSharke]

Absolutely LOVE this episode! Probably my fav….. the music and singing is just amazing. ❤❤❤❤

[@kateorgera5907]

I may or may not have written an article comparing this episode to A Very Potter Musical back when this aired. (And I mean.... was I wrong?) Also, love that Sam was once a theater kid.

[@StekTM1]

Just like in the "LARP" episode, Dean makes of it in the beginning but ends up loving it 😂

[@mary80631]

This is one of my top 3 favorite episodes lol

[@stanleysmith2221]

I absolutely loved these episodes ❤️

[@thedoctor4370]

I know you most likely will not respond to this, but there’s this series I’d like you to watch. It’s called My street. It starts on the first series known as Phoenix drop high. (PDH) adventurous, exciting enjoyable, and the best part is, it involves a lot of romance and love triangles.

[@anthonymiele4320]

Love every meta-episode and this is my favorite of them. Best. Episode. Ever.

[@georgenelawson9917]

That's funny I just was watching he'll house and I was thinking of that not a tulpa line lol knew it wasn't in that it was in this lol now watching this. Cool

[@scottbridge9391]

Wow. You're totally glowing today. Love your nails. Yes, this was a good, fun episode, loved the intros! We've reached the point when Supernatural has become very much a girls' show, with women making up the majority of the viewers and an even larger percentage of the fans who attended the Supernatural conventions. In the first season, it was meant to be a guy's show, but over time, it made a dramatic shift in favor of female fans and viewers and the show itself being female oriented.

[@stanleysmith2221]

Yes she looks marvelous 😍

[@AlexOlins-ly1yh]

Probably because sam and dean were more sexualised than the women in the show

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite Supernatural episode!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@mjkjelland13]

I have been waiting for this.

[@Hayatonyaaa]

Ahhhh, this is such a fantastic episode. Season 10 has a bunch of really fantastic ones, as well as some new recurring characters you're going to love.

[@3Kings_Industries]

A single Man Tear...

[@opaliittiopa]

Omgomgomg finally this episode!!!!!

[@opaliittiopa]

The season 10 ending carry on my wayward son is for sure (100%) the best carry on wayward son there is

[@rob4eva]

This is one of the best shows ever made, its shame it ended but it ended very well after 15 seasons, the spin off though was hit or miss. An alternative earth for the Winchester show set before the brothers were born seemed a bit stupid but it enabled them to change things without breaking canon. I just would have rather they made a Wayward Sisters spin off with Jodie and the girls instead or a direct sequel set in the future

[@DroneQuadcopter]

This episode was well.... something I know that is coming and yet was not ready... this drone is tearing acid from sensors....

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

Have you ever reacted to yellow jackets??

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

My own little spoiler policy.. never never never for the show but behind the scenes and convention spoilers.. fair play. Speaking of.. bts.. that was the first time J2 heard the girls' version of Carry On.. no additional takes on the boys needed. Warner Bros really needs to unclench for reactions. I liked Calliope's wardrobe and the purple explosion on the audience.. poncho time!

[@zaftra]

have you ever done peaky blinders? Highly recommended.

[@JacksWorldYT]

Somehow my girlfriend loves Riverdale but hated this ep 😂

[@heatherqualy9143]

The inside jokes on this one were phenomenal. Such an entertaining piece of television they made…10 years into a show!! I can’t think of any other show that knocked this many out of the park this late into their run. My only issue? In the words of the immortal, incredible, idgaf drummer from the legendary band Queen, Mr. Roger Taylor, “I detest musical theatre.” Done well, done badly, done badly on purpose, done with feeling, done for a spoof, whatever, I hate the songs. Skip them every time. Sorry. Personal preference.

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

Single Man Tear hasn't left my lexicon in over a decade lmao.

[@Syd_Smith]

[@Catty_89]

[@BodaciousWench]

You should leave the Picture in Picture up cz you’re looking at empty space.

[@sriver004]

The 100th episode was really just a big story episode, in which Dean kills Zacharia. So it was cool to kind of get a more celebratory episode for the 200th. Just wait for the 300th 😆 As for the reception on these more meta episodes, they're kind of split. Some are more liked than others sure, like the French Mistake, but I do think for the most part it's 50/50.

[@pkeridactyl]

Definitely one of the best episodes!

[@lamarrbrower6605]

Hey kassy

[@Kno_Buddy]

The joke about Sam cutting his hair to be Dean is because 1. There has been a joke going around in the fandom about Sam’s hair because Crowley used to take jabs at him about it. 2. Jared, who played Sam, played a character named Dean in Gilmore Girls a few years before he auditioned for Supernatural and I might be remembering incorrectly, but I believe Jared auditioned for Dean. They chose Jensen though and they really liked the chemistry that the two had so they cast him as Sam.

[@nosandhere6488]

Jensen actually auditioned for Sam. Both guys did because his character was being cast first, and everyone read first it. They liked Jared for Sam and knew Jensen would be better suited for Dean. Jared and Jensen have told this story many times.
