Just something worth pondering about.

Since there's been the ongoing rumors about it and although nothing is definite, here are my thoughts on the possibility of a sixth season for Supernatural:

Personally, I think this should be the show's last season. Kripke planned for five seasons in order to tell the story the way he wants, and I want him to end the show on his terms without much of outside influence of adding on, which he clearly voiced his opinion on going out on top several times. So I don't think there should be a sixth season unless, of course, it's an extension to this season's arc. Because really, how can you top the freaking Apocalypse?

But I will say, I wouldn't mind having telemovies or even webisodes afterward. Perhaps something Castiel-centric, or with "the plan" of the angels? *nudgewink*

Hell, a prequel series with the adventures of young!Mary would be kinda awesome, don'tcha think?

Those are my thoughts exactly. Honestly, I can't see it extending beyond the Apocalypse at this point and if there is to be another season it should only be because they need to expand the time frame of the Apocalypse (like, for instance, if this season's finale would be where Sam actually does say "yes" to Lucifer, then next season should be about Dean trying to find a way of defeating Lucifer without harming Sam and without consenting to the angels, and that would be a challenge in and of itself which would be kinda epic, imo)

But yeah, we don't need a pointless season just because fans want more Supernatural. I know we all want more, but it would be irrational just to have another season, just to have another season. Shows that do that often times will dwindle away in the spotlight, and we don't want that to happen to SPN.

There really isn't much that could be done after the apocalypse, I mean...it's the freaking apocalypse. A whole season after the apocalypse is over would be like why? lol. I'd still watch it(unless it was unbearably bad or something).

Unless they need more time to finish the story, it'd pretty much be pointless. I doubt there will be another season, I guess we'll see though lol.

Although I do trust Kripke and with his ideas, particularly since they amped everything up recently, I fear that if they just do another season without an arc post-Apocalypse, it would just be like what season three had been, which was mostly filler and no real point at all. Which would be unbearable and it wouldn't make for a great way for the show to be remembered at all.

I have doubts they'll have another season too, but with all this supposed talk I'm not so sure.
