It's just a gem. A gift. So many Easter Eggs, so much fun. Loved every second of it. That young director did a hell of a job. She's a pretty decent actress.

And since I heave'nt read about the cover in here: FFS, this was beautiful! I had tears in my eyes and goosebumps everywhere

With this team of writers, directors, actors, editors etc., and with previous episodes from Supernatural being fantastic, naturally the bar is set very high for the special 200th episode, and by golly this episode met those expectations. From the very beginning of the episode, it was tailored towards fans of Supernatural who were in tears as the "Then" recap of the episode simply included a minimalistic shot of Eric Kripke typing up the cover page of the pilot episode. From the subtle reference of Dean closing the trunk of the car and saying "We've got work to do" (similar to when Sam said that phrase at the end of the pilot) to the epic rendition of Carry On Wayward Son, Supernatural fans are on the edge of their seat with their mouths hanging open wondering what fantastic scene Supernatural holds next in store for them. Cherry on top: Carver Edlund/Chuck himself showing up and giving his well deserved stamp of approval to this Supernatural musical tribute, not only relaying to fans that he did not die in Swan Song, but also bringing upon the perfect closure to the end of the 200th episode that kicked fans right in heart.

My own wishful thinking: that Sam and Dean's next adventure will take them to rescuing Adam from the cage where Lucifer and Michael reside because the poor guy has been stuck down their for too long.

You've done it again Supernatural. You've caused us fans to take a moment of silence to truly appreciate how completely and totally awesome this show is as a close up of Sam and Dean's brooding faces (with Carry On Wayward Son playing naturally) showed the depth of how much energy, effort, fan support, and time (10 YEARS OH MY GOSH) were put into this series to make it the truly spectacular show it is today. I cannot wait for the next episode of Supernatural where the entire cast and crew decides to do something totally out of their element that will, once again, cause fans to tear up from beginning to end.

the episode wasn't the best ever, but i still enjoyed it... i don't like the constant innuendos of deanslashsam fan stories, i mean give poor dean a rest..but it had some laughs, some nice supporting characters... and i always liked chuck, i hope that was not the last we saw of him... but the big point to me, a fan since episode 1, was the final scene. carry on my wayward son, which accompanied us for 10 years and a (ok, female but) poor, dead bobby brought me, a 32 year old man to tears.

no matter what some people say, the show still has it.

thanks for 200 episodes. i hope there are 200 more.

I need to admit, when I watched the first previews of the episode, I thought this would be the most awful thing to watch - ever. While I was watching the episode, I started to enjoy it but in my opinion the episode had its flaws.

I know how many people loved it, but I found it annoying when they were trying to put a fandom thing/ line / joke in every single line. I love references but at some point it started to annoy me because they were just trying too hard. Plus, I felt they left the "old" fandom identity out too much, but I'll come back to that in a sec.

Also, I thought they put way too much focus on the shipping section. I know, many fans are rather focused on this, but I found this to be a big negative aspect. A reference? OK. But imo, it was too much when Sam started discussing ship names...

So, this episode was supposed to be a love letter to the fans, but I think it's more like a letter to a specific group of fans - the younger, mostly female, girls on tumblr, who have kind of become a big "force" in the fandom. I am not a part of that, so all the presents to them (or the focus in general, like making the whole musical cast highschool girls) didn't really work for me.

The monster of the week was very weak. She even did the evil-monologue-thing and didn't have anything that stood out. Not more than a plot device.

To sum it up, this episode was watchable and a bit better than average, but the best episode ever? Imo, never. Meta episodes like The French Mistake handled it much better and we had much better "silly" episodes as well (my favorite: Changing Channels). Supernatural also has brilliant darker episodes, too. So I wouldn't ever count this episode into the top list. It just didn't have in it that got to me.

Oh, before I forgot, I liked how they named their own Post-Kripke-plots worst fanfic ever. ;) But I sure hope the brothers won't ignore their brother Adam's fate in hell - you know, being for like how many hundreds of years down there in tortue? I though Sam would connect to that, since he spent only a fraction of time down there and look how it affected him. I think it's totally OOC for them to ignore that, but that's not my main issue with the ep.

6 out of 10 seems like a fair rating to me.

PS. Please don't mind my writing mistakes, English is not my mother tongue.

I'm impressed and it fueled the show to continue in this new S10. This series indeed has a real following. How the writers put a plot baked into the play was a very good sense of storytelling of a fictional musical play with that element of a fantasy character that Sam & Dean had to identify in order to solve the disappearances.

Supernatural the musical! I joke about this theme on the message board. I never thought the script writers would actually do it and pull the show off! Fan Fiction is a comical installment for season 10. There is the usual monster hunt mixed in with the movie Rushmoore. Dean must endure a female interpretation of the Sam and Dean books into a play/musical. The comical pretense is hilarious. Of course, Sam would like the play's interpretation of Sam and Dean and the other characters experiences through many of the stories the viewer has watched. The ending is so over the top, which creates pure comic bliss. Fan Fiction is original, satirical, and turns the series upside down, which performed like Dean's car. Of course, the acting and directing melded with the story perfectly. I give Fan Fiction an eight out of ten. Nice that Supernatural does not take the series too seriously.

I love episodes when they deal with the Supernatural series. I'm also very happy that Chuck is still alive and kicking. This raised a few questions however. Is Chuck a prophet? Was Kevin a prophet? Can they do the same things? Could Chuck read the demon tablet? Is the demon tablet still even a thing? Who has it? Anyways, back to this episode. Dean's reactions to everything in this was what made the episode so great. I've also noticed that there are actually books of supernatural, and I wonder if there really are followings that talk a lot about the love between the boys... Weird. And that Caliope had it right, the music was pretty good in this. Not South Park good, but still, much better than I would have thought for this series.

The episode came just in the right time when all the fans were getting bored of the tension between the 2 brothers. A normal case with some old memories. The one thing I expect from this episode is that it plays a plot in a future episode in which Sam and Dean will save their younger brother and he will realize that they truly are family. I definitely think Chuck will have a role to play in the future, a significant role. I was wishing john Winchester would make a comeback but it was chuck instead. The series was getting too emotional between the 2 brothers and was becoming more a show for a 15 year old girl but this episode I hope is made for some comeback from the past characters which always excites the fans.

Great episode, tremendously clever episode, and the supporting roles were perfect. I couldn't of asked for anything more. Well, actually, there's no cliff hanger here, this could have been the end of the series and I don't think it would have bothered any one, because it certainly didn't bother Sam or Dean that a certain some one is just left hanging and not a shred of concern is shown between either brother, which is weird because the certain some one left hanging is also their brother. I would have thought that would have been a good reminder that, hey, maybe they should do something about that kid, like, I don't know, try to save him? I can only hope that arch will appear in this season, otherwise, I would begin to question Sam and Dean's loyalty to family and their "perceived" moral obligation to save people. IF a plot with Adam is eventually revisited, I would be happy to give this episode a perfect rating. As for now, I remain wary of the next story arch that has yet to make itself visibly apparent.

My expectations for this episode were kinda low going in considering that I had just skipped past the last episode (s10e4) because of how boring it was but WOW. This episode exceeded my expectations. It has got to be the funniest supernatural episode ever. From the musical to sam and deans reactions, everything about this episode is priceless. Don't even get me started on the whole deancas ship name debate. Honestly I'm only 15 minutes into this episode but still I have to rate it a 9/10 because I have not laughed this hard at an episode in a while.

Episode that accentuates the mental deviation of Supernatural fans with all these "ships" between characters that have nothing to do with it. Not to mention how they broke up Demon Dean's storyline For this sort of episode that satisfies the rotten part of Supernatural, that is, the fanbase. I don't understand how Bloodlines got a lower rating than fan fiction, at least there aren't any horny little girls who want to see every Supernatural character in bed together. The ending with Chuck saved the episode slightly but as long as this TV series has little girls they don't distinguish Friendship with ship this show will not rest.
