Supernartural Finale

I'm torn about this one, I think it was beautifully done, but at the same time this not the ending I wanted.

I really just wanted them all to be happy and together. The scenes of Sam being alone in the bunker looking at all the names on the table hurt so much. This is such a sad ending, especially for Sam, like he is forced to live, with his entire family being dead. I was a little afraid that he might commit suicide when he was in Dean's room, and I think the only reason he didn't was because of, one the dog, and two the fact that someone called and needed help. Like, I know we are supposed to be happy for Sam, because he got to live his normal life, have a wife and a kid, and grow old, but it just didn't feel right.

Dean's death scene made me cry, and I was determined I wasn't going to do that, I wasn't crying so much for Dean, because he seemed accepting of his end, I was more upset for Sam, who was losing so much.

I will say I am very glad they addressed the heaven situation, and they implied that Cas is alive and in Heaven somewhere, although I would have liked to see him. It was also nice to know Bobby wasn't spending eternity in heaven's lock-up.

Overall I think this one is going to have to sit with me for awhile, and I may feel better about it after I've had some time to reflect, or I may just reject it outright, we'll see.

Absolutely.

poor Sam had to live and grieve over is lost family for decades afterwards

Grief isn't constant though. He was definitely grieving in the car scene, but I don't think it was meant to imply he was constantly miserable. And though as viewers we have no history with his son, the glimpses we had were of a loving relationship. And Sam has the absolute knowledge (not just the hope) that the afterlife is real and he will one day be reunited with everyone he lost.

All I wanted was for these three guys, Dean, Sam and Cas, to be together and happy in the end, and we didn't get it.

I stubbornly headcanon that we did. If they are all in heaven, there's an eternity of happiness for them together. We just didn't get to see the big reunion with Castiel on screen (which I'll admit to being disappointed about).
