This is it, my last #SPN year-end megathread. However I feel about the ending, good, bad, ugly, I've come to love it all. But this time, I'll celebrate the good. #SPNFamilyForever
Before I move on, here are the previous #Supernatural mega-threads if you wish to check them out:

Kripke would later tweet about this, and the next thing we know, #Supernatural is stepping out of the entertainment industry and influencing some of today's leaders. https://twitter.com/therealKripke/status/1324789417324683265
@staceyabrams will continue to collaborate with the #Supernatural family to fight the good fight in real life. Stacey gives the #SPNFamily a shoutout on @JimmyKimmelLive https://twitter.com/JimmyKimmelLive/status/1336729337114939397
He was shy about it last year, but Senator @CoryBooker has fully embraced being part of the #Supernatural family #SPNFamily #SPNFamilyForever https://twitter.com/CoryBooker/status/1293924657964429313
#Supernatural is by no means a zeitgeist nor a behemoth in pop culture, but it sure has found its way into many other things! @Jeopardy featured the show this year. TWICE! First for Valentine's Day (Feb 14)

(RIP Trebek) https://twitter.com/daisycupcake811/status/1228452141318234112
and exactly 6 months later, #Supernatural (and @MarkRPellegrino) is mentioned once more by @Jeopardy https://twitter.com/markrpellegrino/status/1294379099121520640
@TheTalkCBS also featured @JensenAckles and @jarpad of #Supernatural https://twitter.com/TheTalkCBS/status/1313984954309591040
#Supernatural enjoyed a slew of cross-media references this year. @DCComics Teen Titans had an easter egg re: Sam and Dean Winchester. They even reference the times when the brothers intentionally die to access an afterlife. Thanks @AdamGlass44

Other shows have also referenced #Supernatural in less explicit ways. @cadlymack of @CWRoswellNM shares how @cw_spn inspired her

#Supernatural is also leaving footprints in the music industry! Aside from the bands of the cast and crew, we have the talented @TheReynaRoberts writing a song about the Impala! Check her out on @Spotify https://twitter.com/TheReynaRoberts/status/1279188022064373760
The Last Of Us 2 had @bigEswallz as one of the face models, and had this as well.
Politics, comics, TV shows, music, videogames. What else? The academe!

NKU is also offering a course about #Supernatural ! The professor's name? Crowley of course! @PreheatingProf @SPNatNKU
And the #Supernatural finale "Carry On" airs on the same date when @KansasBand released "Carry On Wayward Son" 44 years ago
Speaking of @KansasBand, #Supernatural was the most watched show of Kansas during the pandemic https://twitter.com/KansasBand/status/1296870206682406912
That means Austin, Texas has a #Supernatural day, and Lawrence, Kansas is the official birthplace of our heroes in real life https://twitter.com/lawrenceks/status/1329127611998605312
#Supernatural also made splash in streaming services a few times this year https://twitter.com/Larrs9325/status/1270515271262973952
#Supernatural entered Nielsen Top Streaming https://twitter.com/khailmagno/status/1302780395163877381

@Thrillist also lists #Supernatural as one of their recommendations to binge watch during the lockdown

""That show's been on for HOW LONG???" is usually how it goes whenever you tell someone that Supernatural, The CW's most improbable success story(...)" https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/nation/best-tv-shows-to-binge
#Supernatural also remains a popular suggestion for fans of the dark fantasy genre. Some examples below:

"Supernatural hits the top of the list and is one of the most beloved and longest-running supernatural/fantasy shows to air on television." https://screenrant.com/tv-shows-to-watch-if-you-like-good-omens/
#Supernatural was #87 last year, so this means @TVGuide bumped us up https://twitter.com/TVGuide/status/1300467698774749185
and also included in their best supernatural shows. https://twitter.com/tvguide/status/1263810871614111744
Think pieces and analyses of #Supernatural and the legacy it will leave behind.

"The show got years of mileage out of the pilot, which should be studied, along with β€œThe Sopranos” pilot, for how to set the scene, and establish characters and mood." https://www.rogerebert.com/chazs-blog/an-ode-to-supernatural
"(...) #Supernatural has been filming in the Lower Mainland for 15 years, making it the granddaddy of Hollywood North TV projects. Riverdale, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The Magicians, Arrow, and The Flash are babies by comparison." https://montecristomagazine.com/essay/the-legacy-of-supernatural-in-vancouver
Some miscellaneous coverages on the show and the actors. #Supernatural made @nytimes early on during the pandemic thanks to Dan! https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1281292061426270210

#Supernatural had a few magazine covers this year. Thanks to @EW and @samhighfill https://twitter.com/samhighfill/status/1249782930081185792
Not one to shy away, @TVGuide also gave us a special #Supernatural cover this year https://twitter.com/TVGuideMagazine/status/1330978601764839424
Think we're done? Not even close. The #Supernatural finale was polarizing and divisive, but again in this thread, we celebrate the good.

We go back to thinkpieces/analyses with more focus on the finale this time. Still a handful of articles to post, so let's strap in.
β€œ #Supernatural” became my favorite TV show (...). During a time in my life when I wasn’t in the greatest place, (...), I lived for that hour every week, when I could escape my own purgatory and head into a demon-filled world with two dudes who carried on, no matter what. [2/2]
Short runs of 10-episode seasons have their place, but as Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) fought demons and spirits for hours on end, I didn't have to pause and think too much about reality. @USATODAY [2/2]
Like the Winchesters, rock β€˜n’ roll never dies on #Supernatural. The titans of ’70s FM radio are the fuel (...) of the (...) series. @Kansas, Skynyrd, Seger, and countless classic rock superstars have all scored Sam and Dean’s adventures(...) @consequence https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/10/supernatural-needle-drops/
Trivia time! If you're curious about metrics, you might want to check this out. It's a sensitive topic, but it seems #Supernatural is one of the few shows enjoyed by the US regardless of the politics. I'd take that as a sign of universal appeal. https://blog.epollresearch.com/2020/02/25/favorites-among-democrats-and-republicans/
#Supernatural never broke out and became a huge ratings performer. But its long history, which predates even the network where it will end (...), bridges the waning years of broadcast dominance, the rise of streaming and the Peak TV era.

and even @EW was being nostalgic and did their own retrospective on #Supernatural https://twitter.com/EW/status/1321796138228396033
I have to wonder if @EW included this in their retrospective coverage on #Supernatural https://twitter.com/CassidyPaz/status/1301882363190927361
A game "Catchphrase" has an entertainment category and it lists #Supernatural as one of the answers. This category includes many other well-known franchises and actors. @cw_spn

You describe the answer and others have to guess. My sister just said "your favorite show" and BAM!
#Supernatural was among the top streamed shows across all platforms following the release of the remaining episodes of the 15th season on @netflix, according to @nielsen
r/television of @reddit just released their annual top 100 favorite shows OF ALL TIME survey. #Supernatural is included at #93!
#Supernatural on @netflix spent a 2nd consecutive week in the top 10 streamed shows on all platforms. It went up a rank to 6, and increased in total minutes viewed. This is its 3rd week to chart in @nielsen SVOD for 2020. Congratulations @JensenAckles @jarpad @mishacollins

We have the year-end results but it's nice to know #Supernatural spent a 3rd week in a row in the top 10 streamed shows on all platforms per @nielsen. The show kept its 6th spot for the quoted week.
