- Showrunner Eric Kripke has publicly defended key creative choices in the finale, saying they were designed to resolve the show’s core moral and character arcs.
- Fan and critic reaction has been mixed, with praise for character payoffs and criticism over pacing and setup for the planned universe extensions.
