Supernatural Season 4 - Spoilers

Hah! I called it!

This was pretty much how I expected the season to end. Does anyone know if next season is supposed to be the last? Because I really can't see them going back to "normal" after armageddon. Even if they manage to stop it and Earth goes back to normal (or never finds out) that's obviously going to be the climax of the show.

Eric Kripke has said he sees going five seasons, so next year might be the last. I think they talked about it on one of the DVD sets.

There's also here, which points out that the show might go on without Kripke. Which might turn out poorly; shows don't often improve when the original creators leave, at least when they leave on top.

As much as I love this show, I would be pleased as punch if they did an awesome climactic season 5 and ended it. The bane of TV shows is that the folks in charge always want to push for more if the show is popular and they tend to drag shows out long after they should have come to a reasonable conclusion. It's much better, in my opinion, if they plan an end and stick with it, rather than just stagger on for years and eventually peter out due to lack of interest. Supernatural deserves better than that.

For example, I think Heroes should have been a mini-series. One season, done. It didn't need anything more.

Preah it, Merk.

Five seasons is a good run for just about any show. Supernatural was pretty bland in its first or two season IMO, with too much focus on the father-son triangle, but seasons three and four were great stuff.

RPG is out now.

Thought the last episode dragged out a bit, and the cliffhanger made me grind my teeth. But on to next season...

Agree with the above posts.

Kill it after a rip-roaring Season 5.
