♪ Carry on, my wayward son ♪

♪ there'll be peace

when you are done ♪

♪ lay your weary head to rest ♪

Ohh!

♪ Don't you cry no more ♪

So, here we are, in Season 10.

That's right.

What do you say we kill

some mutant sons of bitches

and we raise

a little hell?

I think there are

a lot of reasons

that "Supernatural" has lasted

as long as it has.

What is with you Winchesters,

huh?

We're in Season 10,

and we still care about

the Winchesters.

I had to look out for you.

That's my job.

I'd die for you,

I'd kill for you,

I'd go to the ends of the earth

for you.

It just comes back

to these two brothers.

I think

you're stuck with me.

Rah!

I'm really proud

of how this show

has been willing to be

subversive and play with form.

We landed in some dimension

where you're Jensen Ackles

and I'm something called

a Jared Padalecki.

We like to take risks.

Son of a bitch!

Kind of liked the show.

Had its moments.

♪ Carry on ♪

A show that, on paper,

is so serious...

Help me!

...if we couldn't laugh at ourselves...

I'm Batman.

...I don't think

we'd have made it this far.

We got work to do.

♪ Carry on, my wayward son ♪

And we haven't hit the wall.

♪ There'll be peace when you are done ♪

there's really no end in sight.

Let's go.

♪ Lay your weary head to rest ♪

I look forward

to what is gonna happen next.

This is going to be so much fun.

A Very Special Supernatural Special

Original Air Date on October 6, 2014

Then and now...

This was dad's single most

valuable possession.

...it's the story

of two brothers...

Everything he knows about

every evil thing is in here.

I think he wants us to pick up

where he left off --

you know, saving people,

hunting things --

the family business.

I set out

to make a horror show.

Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!

Here's the deal, ladies --

something's not right.

So if you've heard

anything...

Well, it was like

two brothers

driving down the road

in a badass muscle car,

hunting things

that go bump in the night.

This one girl,

she got murdered out

on Centennial.

She hitchhikes,

and whoever picks her up --

well,

they disappear forever.

The early days of "Supernatural"

followed a simple

monster-of-the-week formula.

That has got to be the freakiest

damn scarecrow I've ever seen.

Each week was the boys

driving into a new town...

Where are we?

We are just outside

of Grand Junction.

...hunting urban legends.

Bloody Mary,

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary.

And that was it.

It was as simple as that.

Let's hit the road.

We still have options.

What options?

You got burial or cremation.

Monsters were

the original focus,

but that quickly changed.

Come on, Sam,

a faith healer?

Maybe it's time to have

a little faith, Dean.

Faith was a turning point

in a lot of ways.

So, if you're not a believer,

then why are you here?

Apparently, my brother here

believes enough

for the both of us.

Pray with me, friends.

The audience saw the bond

that these brothers had...

Dean!

...and that they were willing

to go above and beyond

to save one another.

Say something!

It was about religion,

it was about fate,

it was deeply about Dean

as a character.

I guess,

if you're gonna have faith,

you can't just have it

when the miracles happen.

For all those reasons,

we realized the show

could be a lot more

than just a weekly monster show.

You know, I'm not much

of a praying type,

but I'm gonna pray for you.

We learned something

from that episode.

There's a miracle

right there.

And I think that sort of became

a little bit of a template

for what we could do.

The episodes start to become

more and more

about the brothers.

And I would say

the more that "Supernatural"

is about Sam and Dean,

the better it is.

When I told dad I was scared

of the thing in my closet,

he gave me a .45.

What was he supposed to do?

He was supposed to say,

"Don't be afraid of the dark."

Are you kidding me?!

Of course you should be afraid

of the dark.

You know what's out there.

"Supernatural"

is a show about family,

and family is,

often at the same time,

your greatest strength

and your greatest weakness.

Sam is the kid brother.

Dad?

It's inside me.

I can feel it.

Loyalty drives

his every decision.

You shoot me in the heart, son!

Do it now!

Sammy!

For better or worse...

Aaaaah!

Why didn't you kill it?

Killing this demon

comes first,

before me,

before everything.

No, sir,

not before everything.

...he's even given his life...

Sam, look out!

- Ugh!

- ...Once or twice.

No!

Dean has always been

the protector.

I got you.

It's my job, right,

watch after my pain-in-the-ass

little brother?

To keep his brother safe...

Show your face,

you bitch!

...he would give anything...

Let me guess --

you're offering up your own soul?

All you got to do is

bring Sam back.

Did you

sell your soul for me?

Don't get mad at me.

And go to hell and back.

We've done that multiple times.

I had to look out for you.

That's my job.

And what do you think

my job is?

Go to the ends of the earth

for you --

well, we've had to do that

several times.

You're my big brother.

There's nothing

I wouldn't do for you.

It's two brothers

facing impossible odds

but always having the will

to find the possible.

The thing with "Supernatural" is

that you either care about

the Winchesters or you don't.

Their relationship

is still interesting to us,

and that's why we watch.

Dean, you conscious?

Oh, God.

It was a beautiful,

natural act, Sam.

It's a part of you

I never wanted to see, Dean.

These two guys have

such a wonderful dynamic.

Jerk.

Bitch.

It's the kind of banter you would really

expect from brothers who grew up together.

You totally should have been

jamming "Eye of the Tiger" right there.

Oh, bite me.

That's really much of the reason

why the show has continued

for so long.

You think

you're being funny,

but you're being

really, really childish.

Sam Winchester wears makeup.

Sam Winchester cries his way

through sex.

Sam Winchester keeps a ruler

by the bed,

and every morning,

when he wakes up...

Okay, enough!

You can have all the monsters

and werewolves

and ghosts and everything,

but if, at the end of the day,

you're not selling

that core relationship...

Yeah!

...as these two guys do,

then there is no show.

These are awesome.

Thanks.

Good.

Merry Christmas, bro.

I have, like, a list

of my favorite episodes

of "Supernatural,"

but the list that

I probably think about more

is the episodes

that I just hated.

Aaah! Aah! Aaaah!

The top of the list is

one I wrote called "Wendigo."

Check that out.

There were no twists.

There were no turns.

It was just walking through the

woods and looking for a monster.

All right, everybody

stays together.

And we didn't have the money

to pull off

a really cool monster.

It was a bizarre kind of

a character in a latex costume,

and he catches on fire.

Hey!

If that sounds like that sucks,

it does,

and the episode did.

"Bugs" was not much better.

Aaaah!

Bob Singer said...

Oh, god!

..."I beg you,

don't do this episode."

Bugs aren't scary.

They're just --

they're just not.

You know,

some beetles do eat meat.

I don't know.

Sounds like a stretch to me.

And I felt like, "We can do it!

It's gonna be great!"

It wasn't.

And then it turned into, like,

one laughably terrible scene

after another.

Aaah!

That is obviously fake,

but not all the bugs were.

Everybody in the house.

They told us, "We're gonna film

with these bees."

We're talking real live bees,

by the way.

Well,

my favorite part about it

was talking with

the bee wrangler.

He's like...

..."they're docile bees.

"So as long as you're not

aggressive towards them,

you should be okay."

Aah! Aah!

As soon as they yell "action,"

we're freaking out.

We're swatting.

I've got a full-on blowtorch.

They've got bees

in their shirts,

and they're

all getting stung to hell.

And then you looked

at the dailies,

and you couldn't see the bees,

so you saw a lot of people

going like this.

Oh!

They still had to CGI

extra bees in,

because they didn't show up

on film.

Aah!

Man, this sucks out loud.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Hey, Sammy.

The mythology

of "Supernatural"

began simply enough.

Aah!

The first few seasons

of "Supernatural"

were Sam and Dean

chasing down the demon

that killed their mother.

That was for our mom,

you son of a bitch.

Then, the show took on a whole

other layer of complexity.

Sic him, boy.

The simplest version

of the mythology

goes something like this.

Well, I mean, look,

Dean goes to hell...

Sam!

...Sam goes to hell...

The boys tangled with Lucifer.

...Dean goes to Purgatory...

Every soul here is a monster.

...Sam goes to Purgatory...

This is adjacent.

...there was

a celestial holy war...

Angels. They're falling.

...both boys go to heaven...

If this is the Skymall,

it sucks.

I mean, where's the triplets

and the latex?

Come on,

a guy has needs.

...and Dean became a demon.

And there we are.

You make it sound

so easy.

Wishful thinking,

but maybe it's just the wind.

Where, I think, the mythology

of the show really took off

was when we introduced Angels.

It took until Season 4,

but when angels

finally showed up,

it was epic.

If I do so my damn self, like,

that is how you introduce

a character.

It was quite an introduction

to a show.

Who are you?

I'm the one who gripped you tight

and raised you

from perdition.

That is just some badass

badassery right there.

Castiel was an instant hit.

Still trying to figure out

who that is...

Yeah, who's the --

...And why he's even relevant.

What do you mean?

Misha -- lovely.

But Castiel? Never got it.

I've never understood it.

Well, he's a hit

with fans anyway.

I think it's because

it's the cheapest costume

you can put together

if you're a fan.

In all seriousness,

Misha has brought "Supernatural"

to a whole nother level,

as we say in Texas.

The order comes

from high up on

the celestial chain of command.

How high?

Very.

There's a naivete

and an innocence to Cass.

The pizza man truly loves this babysitter.

Why does he keep

slapping her rear?

Watching porn?

There's always a new incarnation

of my character.

Castiel has been crazy.

Castiel has been god.

He who lies in my name shall

choke on his own false tongue.

Castiel has been

a quasi-cult-leading,

drug-induced yoga instructor.

Why not go get washed up

for the orgy?

You're all so beautiful.

It's one of the things

that has made me enjoy

working on this show so much.

It's honey.

I collected it myself.

And then...

You're off your rocker.

...there's Crowley.

Mr. Pendleton, I presume.

Demons have been

a part of "Supernatural"

from day one...

The name's Crowley.

...but there is only one King.

I figured that Crowley would be

an interesting character

to play.

I mean, my opening scene

is kissing a 70-year-old man

at the crossroads.

Damn you.

Enjoy the obscene wealth.

See you in 10 years.

When we originally wrote Crowley

as just King

of the crossroad demons,

I don't think we ever thought

that he would be around,

geez, six,

seven seasons later.

You show us yours,

and we'll show you ours.

Really, Dean,

I'm trying to conduct

a professional negotiation here,

and you want to talk

dangly bits.

If you were to sum up Crowley

in one word,

it would be "delicious."

So...to what do I owe

the reach-around?

He was the demon

you loved to hate,

but then you realized

you sort of loved to love,

'cause him being so horrible,

he's actually

incredibly enjoyable.

You seem even more constipated

than usual.

Maybe get you

some colon blow?

He says the most awful stuff.

Have you forgotten that that

you're the bottom in this relationship?

The pathology

of name-calling...

Where's your moose?

I don't need you to fight

my battles for me, moose.

Moose!

Still with the pork chops --

I admire that.

And then one of

the greatest moments,

which was Dean calling Crowley

on the phone,

it says, "not moose"...

Which just made me blow snot

out of my nose.

We just shared a foxhole,

you and I.

I really enjoyed when Sam

was turning Crowley human.

We beat back

the Tet offensive,

outran the --

the rape of Nanking together!

I just thought Mark Sheppard

was just brilliant in that performance.

Aaah!

Then I got to quote

some of my favorite HBO shows.

"Band of Brothers"?

"The Pacific"?

All those motels,

you never once watched HBO,

not once?

"Girls"?

It's really funny.

You're my Marnie, moose.

A-and Hannah --

she just --

she needs to be loved.

And very sad, I think --

sad and touching.

We deserve to be loved.

I deserve to be loved!

It's a great job I've got.

I just want to be loved.

He just brings

so much je Ne sais quoi

to his King of hell.

We love him.

"Supernatural" was

born as a horror series.

And though it grew

to become so much more,

it has never lost the ability

to scare and shock.

One of the creepiest

that immediately

jumps in mind for me...

Come on, hold still.

...is "The Kids Are Alright."

What's wrong, mommy?

There's these demon children

and that you have

this kind of harried mother.

Her children are endlessly

devouring her energy.

Scary kids

are even more scary.

It's okay

when they're full-grown,

but the little guys are --

that's -- mnh-mnh.

"The Benders,"

I though was scary.

What are they?

See for yourself.

What was gonna be

a demon or a ghost

or a zombie or a ghoul

or a vampire or a werewolf...

...then it turned out

to be humans.

You want to play games?

This is something I probably

shouldn't be talking about publicly,

but I get really scared

by, like, horror movies.

Dean!

Ugh!

And when I would watch

like two or more episodes of

"Supernatural" consecutively...

...I would have nightmares.

Aaaaaaaaah!

Cut!

It's all good, Tara.

That was great.

What nobody

could have expected is...

from time to time,

"Supernatural" is one of

the best comedies on television.

Uh, maybe we try dialing up

that scream, huh?

"Hollywood Babylon,"

which was, like, our first stab

at, like,

a really funny episode...

Aah!

Aaaaaaaah!

Now, that's

what I'm talking about!

Gary Cole plays

this studio executive.

Cut!

We were just wondering

if it could be,

you know,

a little brighter.

Brad, this is a horror movie.

Who says horror has to be dark?

Every single note he gives

is word for word a real note

we got from the CW.

The rules aren't

really landing for me.

If the ghosts are in hell,

how do they hear the chanting?

I mean what do

they have, super hearing?

All he does is give notes...

I don't understand.

If they were in hell,

how could they hear

our chanting?

They must have

super hearing.

...Until he's murdered.

Aaaaaah!

You don't remember

any of this?

Remember what?

This -- today.

Like -- like -- like

it's...happened before?

In "Mystery Spot,"

Sam relives one day

over and over...

Like "Groundhog Day"?

Yes, exactly. Like "Groundhog Day."

...a day that always ends

with Dean's death.

Ugh!

Rise and shine, Sammy!

All the different ways

that we got to kill him

was endlessly entertaining

to us.

Somebody need a friend?

Good boy. Aah!

Ugh!

Of those,

my single favorite was,

he takes a bite of a taco

and he says...

These tacos

taste funny to you?

Out of all the deaths anywhere,

the death of taco botulism is,

um, is my favorite.

My God, you're a freak.

Ugh!

I thought "Yellow Fever"

was a good comedic episode

for me personally.

In "Yellow Fever,"

Dean becomes infected

by a virus that causes fear.

Aaaaaaaah!

Hilarious fear.

That was scary!

Dean is such this

kind of machismo guy's guy.

Puts up the big wall of "I'm not

afraid of anything," kind of,

and then now he's just

a little scared princess.

It's Marie

you got to look out for.

She smells fear.

I lost my underpants when

that snake came over the couch.

You were, like,

at least 3 feet away.

This ain't about Sam Winchester

being scared.

It's about Dean.

I'm leaving.

Is that a rabbit's foot?

In a show that, on paper,

is so serious...

It's not a luck charm.

It's a curse.

...to be able to be irreverent,

having fun...

Oh, geez!

...I think,

has kept us going.

What?

I lost my shoe.

Hey, don't forget

the extra onions this time, huh?

Dude, I'm the one who's gonna

have to ride in the car

with your extra onions.

It's true that "Supernatural"

lives and dies

with Sam and Dean Winchester.

Hey, see if they got

any pie.

Bring me some pie!

But there have been

a few other characters...

Welcome to my blue heaven.

...That we've also

loved over the years.

Awesome. The king of hell just

snapped my girlfriend's neck.

How about you?

Actually, quite a few.

You've been garthed.

Just tell me who you are.

Some weren't even human.

You're a demon.

Don't be such a racist.

I think all our demons

have been great.

Come on, Sam!

I'm awesome!

But if I had to pick a favorite,

I would go with the yellow-eyed demon.

That dear old mom of yours,

that adorable little sister...

At one point, he says...

I'll make certain

that they both live long enough

to know the chewy taste

of their own intestines.

And he nails the line!

He just sticks it!

Like I say, genius.

Personally, I really like Meg.

Keep talking dirty.

It makes my meatsuit all dewy.

All right, simmer down.

I just thought she was cool.

What about her was good?

She was a good kisser.

What was that?

I learned that

from the pizza man.

There are so many good demons.

Morning, sunshines.

Abaddon was just extraordinary

with the slashed throat

and "The devil made me do it."

I am your king.

About that...

Aah!

It was fantastic to watch.

Got a minute?

You're an angel,

aren't you?

That's all I need

is another one of you guys.

When it comes to angels...

"Supernatural" has an original take.

We're gonna do angels,

but the angels are gonna be dicks.

Quit hurling feces

like a howler monkey.

Maybe I should rip out

your sticky bits.

Let me guess.

You two mutton heads

broke the world,

and you want me

to sweep up your mess.

Angels? Can't stand angels.

Dreadful.

You sons of bitches

jump-started Judgment Day.

Maybe we let it happen.

We didn't start anything.

Other than Cass,

who's my favorite angel?

Ohh. I don't know.

I mean, it's really --

it's really tough,

'cause my mind

is just overshadowed

by how great Cass is.

Sorry if it's a bit chilly.

Most people think I burn hot.

It's actually

quite the opposite.

Lucifer was a pretty good angel,

you know, if you think about it.

Lucifer, you're my brother

and I love you,

but you are

a great big bag of dicks.

Watch your tone.

I'll tell you

something else, too.

This is some serious crap

you boys stepped in.

Perhaps no non-Winchester

was as popular as Sam

and Dean's surrogate dad --

Bobby Singer.

Are you under the impression

that family is supposed to make

you feel good?

Make you an apple pie,

maybe?

They're supposed

to make you miserable!

That's why they're family!

He was the father figure,

he was the patriarch,

he was the oracle,

he was the Yoda,

he was home to these guys.

You want to go hunting?

I'll hunt it.

I'll kill anything.

Aww, he's adorable.

His original name

was Bobby Manners,

but then legal comes back

and they say we can't do it

for legal reasons.

"Then, all right, I'm just gonna

call him Bobby Singer."

The real Bob Singer

was not that into it.

I go, "Yeah, I'm really

not crazy about this."

He's like,

"what the hell are you doing?

"Like, everyone

is going to think

I named the character

after myself."

With the right name,

the right ritual,

ain't nothing

you can't suss out.

If I'd known that he was gonna

go on and be the character that he was,

I probably would have put

my foot down a little more.

Here's to...running into

you guys on the other side.

Only...not too soon.

All right?

Whoo!

Listen to her purr.

You ever heard

anything so sweet?

The longest-running

supporting player

isn't any kind

of sentient being.

You know, if you two want

to get a room, just let me know, Dean.

Oh, don't listen

to him, baby.

He doesn't understand us.

The iconic '67 Impala --

it was almost

something else entirely.

When I came up with

"Supernatural,"

it was really important to me

to, like, come up with, like,

a really distinctive car.

My neighbor pimps rides

for a living.

I'm like, "oh, hey, man,

I've been wanting to ask you.

Like, I need, like, a really

badass car for this show."

I'm thinking, "the '68 Mustang.

Like, that'd be cool."

And, uh, and he's like,

"Yeah, yeah,

that would be totally cool

if you're a"

327 four-barrel,

275 horses.

A little TLC,

this thing is cherry.

We have the modern show

that everyone associates

with a cool car.

Whoo-hoo!

And that's awesome.

Hello.

I am Harry Spangler.

And I am Ed Zeddmore.

♪ Ghost, Ghostfacers ♪

"Supernatural"

has never been afraid

to turn itself on its head.

- Oh!

- We were sort of the kids

in the back of the class

at the CW,

and we were the ones

throwing spitballs.

It's been reality TV.

A-aren't those

from Texas?!

Holy

It's been

a classic monster movie.

The hero gets the girl,

monster gets the gank.

All in all, happy ending.

It's pushed

the boundaries of form

like few other series ever have.

My favorite episode

of "Supernatural," period,

was "Changing Channels."

Hey, there, Sam.

What's happening?

Oh, nothing.

Um, just the end of the world.

In "Changing Channels,"

Sam and Dean are trapped by the

Trickster inside a TV universe.

Hijinks ensue.

Oh, Dean.

Son of a bitch.

That send-up we did

on "Gray's Anatomy" --

I mean, I watch it today,

I laugh.

Doctor.

Ow!

Seriously.

What?

Seriously?

There was

the Japanese game show.

Aw!

I'm sorry,

Sam Winchester.

Sorry?

Sorry for what?

Ohhh!

I mean, who doesn't love, like,

just a good hit in the nuts?

Whoa!

"Nut-cracker"!

Sam became K.I.T.T.

From "Knight Rider,"

and Dean is rooting around

in his trunk.

Dean?

What?

That, uh, feels

really uncomfortable.

Ow.

Like, that still makes me laugh.

Run!

With a penchant

for wild experiments...

Cut!

...It was only

a matter of time...

Real good, solid fall.

Way to go.

...before the fourth wall

came tumbling down.

"Supernatural,"

tail slate, marker!

"The French Mistake" is

my all-time favorite episode.

That's a wrap

on Jared and Jensen!

W-who the hell are --

Jared!

Three minutes, okay?

Sheer recklessness of, like,

what a show is willing to do.

Trish Evian here

with Jared Padalecki

from TV's "Supernatural."

So, it's just

wonderfully surreal.

I was actually quite jealous

that I wasn't in it.

They put

freakin' makeup on us.

Those bastards.

I remember,

we got a phone call saying,

"do you guys mind

playing yourselves?"

And it was like the record

stopped, you know?

Don't look at the camera.

What?

Look anywhere

but the camera.

Cut!

Look, you can throw

Sam and Dean

in any kind of wacky universe

you want.

Nice modest digs,

Jay-Z.

As long as I'm never breaking

out of my character, Dean...

Yeah.

...Then that's fine.

Dude, you have a camel

in your backyard.

It's an Alpaca, dumbass.

Ruby?

You married fake Ruby?

He still has all those portraits

of himself in his house.

Oh, yeah.

But it was a lot of fun

to poke fun at ourselves.

Misha?

Oh, wow.

Misha? Jensen?

What's up with the names

around here?

When I got the script,

I called the writers,

and I said,

"Hey, could you make

my character

as much of a douche

as possible?"

Action.

Good night, Misha.

Good night, little fella.

I'm probably gonna Tweet this.

"Hola, mishamigos."

Even the producers

didn't escape unscathed.

Eric, thanks for coming.

Bob! Of course.

And, I mean, shooting Kripke

in the end...

Hey, extra!

Over here!

And we were like,

"are we insane?

Have we gone too far?"

And we were like,

"that's just too awesome.

We have to do that."

To my knowledge,

no other show has done

anything quite so strange,

and I think that that's

one of the big reasons

that the fans have stuck around,

is that it's taken

these risks

in doing things

that other shows aren't doing.

Don't like this universe,

Sammy.

We need to get out

of this universe.

Yeah, no argument here.

Hey Dean,

looking good.

Who the hell are you?

I'm Dean, too. Duh.

Maybe this is

getting out of hand. Nah!

From the conversations that

I've had with a lot of fans,

it's a lot more

than entertainment.

I deserve to be loved!

There is no "Supernatural"

without its fans.

We know that.

Creativity of the fans

is really astounding to me.

Dean!

It's amazing,

the amount of artistry

that goes into

"Supernatural" fandom.

Hi, y'all. I'm Bobby.

Fans go to so much effort

to make things for us

or show us what they feel.

There is a wooden chess set.

All the figures

are just painstakingly carved

out of wood.

I've probably seen

two dozen Impalas

that look just like the Impala

that the boys have driven.

I'm very wary of people

that aren't fans of something.

I mean, it's kind of weird not

to freak out over cool things.

I'm about to watch the Season 9

finale of "Supernatural."

Listen to me, Dean Winchester.

There's a wonderful

set of videos online

of people watching that.

What you're feeling right now

is not death.

It's life.

He's gonna be fine.

Open your eyes, Dean.

See what I see.

Feel what I feel.

No! No. No.

Let's go take a howl

at that Moon.

No, no, no!

Oh, my God!

Aaaah! Aaah!

Aaaaaah!

Did you see his eyes?!

The show has an impact.

It's kind of humbling

in a lot of ways

to see the impact that it has.

We put our heart and soul

into it,

and they've returned

the favor.

I'm gonna go cry some more.

You guys are larping, aren't you?

Excuse me.

Inspired by

their passionate fans...

You're fans.

Fans of what?

..."Supernatural" has gone

where other shows

would never dare.

"Supernatural."

Two guys hunt down ghosts,

demons, vampires.

What are their names?

Uh...

Sam and Dean?

That's it.

We started to get really meta

with the books.

Give me that.

The Chuck Shurley story line --

probably one of my very favorite

things about the show.

"Sam and Dean approached

the ramshackle house..."

The idea of

this whole set of books

written by him

and the idea that

he could be something else.

Obviously, I'm a god.

You're not a god.

I write things,

and then they come to life?

Yeah,

now I'm definitely a god.

I was in love

with the show before that,

but I was ready to marry

the show after that.

Did you really have to live

through the bugs?

Yeah.

I am...so sorry.

I mean,

horror is one thing,

but to be forced to live

bad writing.

You know,

our meta episodes --

you know, turning it back

on ourselves --

really comes from the fans.

You know, they're so invested.

They're gonna want

to see it.

See what? See what?

Oh, my God.

I love it when they talk

at the same time!

It was an easy leap, then,

to go to, "well,

let's have a convention."

Becky, what is this?

It's awesome!

Can't think of another show

that could possibly

get away with it.

It's like a symbiosis,

where we exist because of them

and they exist as fans

because of the show.

I don't think the Benders

made flesh suits

out of all their victims.

It was, like, a couple scarves.

And so they're really nice

opportunities to say, like,

"hey, guys, we're doing a show

about y'all."

Yeah, a nice wink to the fans.

Yeah.

So, what happens next?

As "Supernatural"

begins a remarkable 10th season,

it's fair to ask,

"how has the show made it

this far,

and what keeps it going?"

The rules are simple.

Family don't end

with blood, boy.

It's something personal

and relatable

that everybody

can identify with.

But at the same time,

they bring in these epic

mythology story lines...

Oh, hello, death.

We're dealing with

life and death and dreams,

imagination,

and the future and the past.

Man, I had a weird dream.

Yeah?

Clowns or midgets?

I think the longevity

is really based

on that we try to be original...

Hey, there, handsome.

Shut up!

...try to come up

with something new.

♪ Carry on, my wayward son ♪

That was kind of creepy,

right?

But ultimately just comes back

to these two brothers.

I don't know whether to give you

a hug or take a shower.

And that has just continued

to breathe life into the show.

♪ Don't you cry no more ♪

Because they're fighting for humanity

and they're fighting for each other.

It's really kind of brought

this network of people together.

And they fight for us, and as

long as they continue to do that,

we'll do the best by them.

Nine seasons so far,

but it's not over yet,

my friends.

What happened with you

being okay with this?

I lied.

There's still

plenty of road ahead.

More to come -- Season 10.

My word -- there's more to come

in Season 10.

As long as everyone

is still willing,

I think we've got many,

many years to go.

So, what do we do now?

We make our own future.
