Okay, well problems or not, I cried through half the episode. I loved the final goodbye scene between Sam and Dean. It didn't seem as derivative as some of their speeches this season. I certainly got me in the feels. And overall I thought this was a good end to the series. Maybe not a great one, but they didn't screw it up too badly.
I have a lot of random thoughts/quibbles: Dean wouldn't keep his room that messy. The way we saw it that one show when they first moved into the bunker where Dean had all his guns mounted on the wall and the memory foam mattress first remembered him. That's Dean. And Sam would DEFINITELY have taken Miracle jogging with them. It would have been both their dogs (and who puts a dog dish in their bedroom?)
Yeah, stupid fight and stupid enemy to be killed by. Not really worthy of Dean's death. I can't help but think that Sam would have called for Jack. It's Dean after all. He would break all the rules and do anything for Dean. Why stop now?
Also, why kill Dean off so quickly? it kills any chance of the boys doing a mini-series later on. If they'd shown some grey in both their hair, like they had been at this for a while, it would have left room to revisit the Winchesters in the future. This is like a salt and burn so they can't go back. : (
I can forgive Dean being killed by a stupid, unworthy foe (I kept thinking all those stuntmen probably had masks on under the masks), a weird random death happening out of the blue was bound to happen to one of them. This just seemed kind of jerky/poorly done and too early in the show.
Heaven: I liked that Jack had torn down the walls and we got a brief nod that Castiel wasn't rotting in the empty, but being of angelic use. But I can't believe Dean's heaven is only empty roads. He could have driven through towns or been parked at motels or shown a nice little house with a picket fence and a big garage. Even with Covid-19 (Which is why I handwave away visiting with friends and family, I assume he does all that).
But I loved Sam simply appearing behind Dea in Heaven, ready to go. (I did see a woman standing on the porch when Sam was playing with little Dean, but she obviously didn't compare to his relationship to Dean). But them together and so obviously content was just lovely
Sam's makeup as an old man was so laughable, (If I hadn't already been crying). He looked like some kind of mad scientist, but I got the gist. It's a shame because it could have been better done and killed us even more.
I thought the message from J2 and the crew belonged in the wrap-up episode not this one episode. It would have given more time/room to show the boys hunting over the years.
I thought the use of our song was PERFECT, they used so many versions of it to just brilliant effect. The words were so prophetic.
But overall, I am pretty damn happy. If it had to end, what better place than with the boys together and happy in heaven?
