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?

But in terms of storytelling, having things be reverted to how season one was with just stories of the boys, how would that progress anything storyline wise? Kripke has altered things over the seasons with new ideas and making it all fit and mold together with the overall plot, but quite frankly I don't see anything past this main mytharc which ties everything together so neatly. A sixth season with something else just doesn't seem right, because this is a story with a beginning, middle and end, and the Apocalypse being that bookend of the entire arc setup since day one, I don't see how anything can go beyond that.

If there were to be a sixth season, I think it would have to be an expansion of the Apocalyptic mytharc than just random MotW episodes. Because otherwise it would just be sloppy, in my opinion.
