I know I am late to the party, but I just started Supernatural several months ago. I just got an IMDb account, so I decided to come back to my favorite episode so far and give it a review. It's been around a month and a half since I've seen it, so I will do my best to recount the events that unfold.
Since the first episode, Supernatural has remained one of my favorite shows that I have seen. This episode showcases everything amazing about the show. In the finale for season five, the fight against Lucifer comes to a head. Sam gives consent to Lucifer, allowing the fallen angel to take control of his body. From there, events unfold that lead to the final confrontation between Lucifer (Sam) and Michael (Adam). The final scenes were chalk full of emotion, ranging between accounts of the Impala, the deaths of Castiel and Bobby, and Sam finally regaining control of his body, using the moment to throw both himself and Adam into Lucifer's Cage. Castiel is resurrected by God, healing Dean and Bobby. The forlorn ending in which Dean goes to Lisa as per Sam's request was fitting for the show. However, the final shot launches new motivation for the next season, as Sam stands outside Lisa's house and watches Dean.
In conclusion, Swan Song is an emotional ride and a practically flawless conclusion to what is, in my opinion, Supernatural's best season so far.
