One of the better endings, overall, I've seen. And it seems I "kind of" made a correct prediction, with the passing on the torch.
spoilers:
Sam's son having the tattoo is about as close to confirmation of that there is. And considering that the hunting life never truly goes away, he was involved at some point.
Dean's ending is... Less satisfying. While he's shown to be resistant to settling down, he's never been resistant to expanding his family. He survives Lucifer, Michael, AND Chuck just to be done in by an overgrown vamp? Yeah, a hamfisted ending for him.
Glad to see they took Miracle in. Dogs make everything better. |

As for no parents of the Winchesters in the finale, I remember seeing it somewhere that the actors weren't available for it, having other things come up prior.
But honestly, with how things go in the Supernatural-verse, I could easily see a reboot/picking up where they left off (sort of) with the brothers being brought back to life by Jack for some reason. And honestly, Jack basically ended up how I thought he ultimately would (not necessarily the road to it, though).
Really, kind of going to miss this going forward, despite being relatively new to the fandom. Shows that delve into the weird and paranormal have always been some of my favorites. And since Supernatural went into just about every kind of paranormal short of aliens from outer space, I really enjoyed it. With my favorite episodes being where they would simply go to various locations to put ghosts to rest and what not.
