Supernatural: The End Promo Pics
September 22, 2009 by Cynthia
Wow. Looks like a movie – Escape from New York? Nope, it’s The End, episode 5.4 on Supernatural. I cannot wait for this one, but we must as it will air on October 1.
The End
Sam (Jared Padalecki) tells Dean (Jensen Ackles) he wants to rejoin Dean in the battle of the Apocalypse, but Dean tells Sam that they are better off apart. Later, Dean awakens five years in the future in an abandoned city and is attacked by humans who have been infected with a demonic virus that turns humans into Zombies. Zachariah (guest star Kurt Fuller) appears to Dean and explains that this is the world that exists as a result of Dean saying no to helping the angels fight Lucifer. Dean meets up with Future Dean, who tells him that the virus is the Devil’s endgame for destroying mankind.

Well Dean really got his little lapdog exactly like he wanted. Cas is totally fanirlin Dean in those pics and those are the heroes?
Good luck with your new show Kripke, I predict a ratings nosedive before this season is over.
@Amber: Thank you. I know a lot of SamGirls too but they don´t complain as much as the three or four people do here. I get annoyed with Sam just because of them and he surely does not deserves that. I found the scene with Sam and the white suit and it looks great.
@isabelle saumur france: go to youtube and type in “Oh Death promo”
@Ellie: A nosedive, really? Because of the few people who are more in love with complaining then the show itself????? No Way.
For two seasons and a good part of the season 3 it was about Sammy and his abilities , now Dean is part of the myth arc .We know Dean’s girls what it feels , Dean was just the big brother of Sammy winchester , now both have their importance in the myth of the show . That’s all . where is the problem in it ? And Cas is so cool , I love him and Misha is doing a great job . I don’t understand why you have to dislike Misha when you dislike his character …
And Dean is so hot with his gun strapped on his thigh , I totally agree ! Dean badass is so HOT !
Ooooh why do we have to wait ?!?!
Jensen was very happy and relaxed in the photo at dallas while having day off. I am happy with that. Therefore, I wont complaining much if Jensen is not in 5.07.
I really don’t understand why Jared fans always complaining.. Dont they think Jared needs day off too?
I like sam.. but I like sam less recently because of sam fans.
I am really excited to see this episode! It looks as if the production people have done a great job with the sets, especially with their limited budget. And if you are doing a season about the Apocalypse, you have to have at least one episode like this, showing the collapse of civilization and the survivors being chased by zombies! I’m also looking forward to seeing the confrontation between our Dean and the Dean in this future world; I think it is going to be really awesome!
Thanks to all the great people who make Supernatural and their hard work to bring these episodes to life for us!
Alex – Nice creative hearing you have there. Jensen did not say Kripke’s favorite was Dean. He said Sera thinks Sam is her’s and Ben(Edlund) thinks Dean is his.
Somehow I doubt Kripke would be calling his favorite character a *ussy(think “another word for cat”:) or a loser, which is what he has called Dean at various times. Sam never gets called names by any of the writers or the showrunner, Sam doesn’t even get called names in the show, except very rarely, unlike Dean, on whom the writers seem to get off seeing how many insults towards him they can fit into an episode, by “friend” and enemy alike.
Now with regards to Jared “chewing scenery”(that word, I do not think it means what you think means:) — it’s rather interesting that somehow even when Dean isn’t the one talking and he’s just there listening? He doesn’t fade into the background, largely because Jensen stays “in” the scene, as the character. Just like in real life, just because someone isn’t talking, doesn’t mean they aren’t an active part of the gathering. Active listening is part of the art of acting.
If Sam fades away when he isn’t talking, you might want to look towards his actor rather than blaming the writers, the directors, the camera man, the lighting people and whoever else ends up on the top of your conspiracy theory hit list next time.
Oh wow, these pics are AMAZING! Croatoan? Hmm… that’s interesting. This episode looks really cool, and Jensen looks soooooo good! 2 Deans in one episode — it can’t get any better than that! And just because Sam isn’t in these pictures doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t be in the episode at all.
*** To ALEX***, who said “Then, Jensen BLATANTLY stated at the Vancouver Con that Dean is Kripke’s favorite. 2+2 = 4.”
No, Jensen did NOT state this. He said that Sera Gamble thinks of Sam as hers and *BEN EDLUND* thinks of Dean as his in response to a question about this.
ALEX also said “Sam’s been chewing scenery for over a year (you know, standing there silently while all the other characters around him talk).”
Your definition of “chewing scenery” is INCORRECT. Chewing the scenery means to over-act, over-emote, or ham it up in a synthetic frenzy so great that you might even start biting chunks out of the set. Unless you’re referring to Jared Padalecki?
I have to say that I adore Sam (and Dean and Castiel and Bobby), but these super whiny Sam fans that always make the same comments online, make it very difficult for me to see their POV about this when they resort to bashing and hating on Dean and Castiel (and you know you do!) in response to what they perceive as Sam’s storyline getting ignored. And because these Sam fans have become such vocal Dean/Cas-haters, for no good reason, I have zero sympathy for them when they complain. I don’t understand why they’re even watching the show if they hate it so much?
“@ all you Deangirl’s – put yourself in a Samgirl’s shoe for one second and see how it feels to have an entire episode with a ten minute appearance by Dean. Again. You wouldn’t like it either and would be doing the exact same thing.
Jensen will have a very small role in episode 7. I doubt Dean will be there for more than a few minutes. I also expect that, what little he is there, will be played as a joke at Dean’s expense – look at what that loser Dean has got himself into this time. Many fans involved in fandom know this, I don’t see much whining going on about lack of screentime. What I have been seeing are fans saying they’ll miss Jensen a lot but it’s great he got a few days off.
What Samgirls also seem to forget is that Dean was only in an episode like All Hell Breaks Loose Part 1 for a few minutes. I don’t think he was even in it for ten minutes, maybe 5 or 6. That was part of the season finale, which are always important episodes. I don’t remember a huge amount of complaining about his “lack of screen time” at the time.
@nora: Thank you girl for seeing the things like they are. Like I said.. some of those so called fans like to complain a lot. I saw the pictures and was happy and excited but also a bit reluctant to read the comments BECAUSE I did, in some kind of way, knew how it would end. I will say this with all due respect but just like the character the fans of him are a bit immature and childish. It´s a show about two brothers, I get that but they don´t have to be around 7/24 not after what happend lately. Trust the writers and in the story Kripke had in his head right from the start.
Peace people. Lets enjoy the show. It will not last forever.
“.is that Padalecki turned down the lead in GI JOE …for what”
I bet Padalecki is thanking his lucky stars he didn’t get GI Joe. It was a terrible film. Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme were pretty big names back in the day, even made some box office successes – did not do much for their respect as actors or their long terms careers. I have a feeling Channing Tatum is going to end up in much the same boat.
But if you want Jared stuck doing mindless straight to DVD actions films until he’s 60 years old, they…go for it.
I’m sure in the end he’d probably rather be a successful actor who has had a large variety of roles, whether he is a household name or not.
I guess I’m a Cas fangirl but it’s kinda ridiculous to call SPN the Castiel Show or the Dean/Cas show when Misha has gotten less than 10 mins of material altogether for the past two episodes, despite being a “regular”. Some of us are actually tired of Sam and Dean’s repetitive make-up/break-up routine. I hate how melodramatic they’re being written now. It’s an overdose of the “chick flick” moments Sam and Dean had tried to avoid.
I’m really excited about this episode because I’ve wanted a zombie horde episode for the longest time. The one with the demon siege on the police station came close.
@nora great point about the samcentric episodes like AHBL 1 and also Heart and Levee just to name three. I don’t know for sure because I have better things to do than clock his minutes on screen, but I doubt Dean got more than 10 minutes in any of them. I didn’t seen any complaining about screentime there and I am not seeing any for the old Dean episode where Jensen will most likely be replaced by another actor altogether.
I have to admit that I am also very uncomfortable with the way some fans keep misquoting and misrepresenting Kripke, Gamble and Ackles’ words and intentions.
Kripke did not say Dean was the only hero on the show, he said that Dean is a hero because he keeps fighting even though he doesn’t have faith in a higher power. Since this came from his appearance at a convention in LA a couple of years ago, he was speaking about the fact that even though Dean didn’t have powers or a special destiny, he kept fighting and that’s what makes him a hero. He never said Sam wasn’t a hero. He was simply responding to a question about Dean’s lack of faith and why religious objects and rituals would work in such a situation. He did not talk about Sam in that answer because Sam was not part of the question.
Gamble did not say Sam’s story was told in the background, she said that even when Sam was standing in the background of a scene, you could tell that there was stuff going on in his head. You are taking a compliment to Jared and twisting it into something completely untrue and that is, frankly, quite insulting to him as as actor.
At the Vancouver Con Jensen said that Sera thinks she owns Sam and Ben thinks he owns Dean. He jokingly griped about the long hours because he had just finished shooting this episode where he was playing a dual role. Most people understood it for the joke.
It is really appalling how certain sam fans insist on taking the words of people who give to their fans with such generosity and goodwill and twist them in the most ugly and divisive ways.
Anyone who knows and understands this show and actually does watch for both brothers and for the stories, will see through these pathetic attempts at twisting the fact just to promote your guy. I really wonder how much JP appreciates these shenanigans on his behalf.
There is speculation going around that Sam will be the carrier of the demon virus …which is why he will be seen at the very end dressed all in white looking like a medical doctor.
I think you´r right ozzie. I just say CROATOAN. He is immune to the demon virus.
Thanxx
@Jenna24 Yeah, I am looking forward to Sammy in a white suit too. Evil Sam
.
And thanks for the reminder of Episode 7 for this season. To be honest I am so incredibly happy that Jensen isn’t in it a whole lot because then maybe just maybe some Sam girls will then be quiet. Also, it’ll be interesting to see what they do with Sam and older Dean.
oh hey look…another episode without Sam for the most part. just lovely. *sarcasm*
i’d also love to remind anyone who’s talking about “the Sam-girls can shut up now” that those “Dean-girls” were bitching for 3 whole seasons about Dean not having a storyline or importance to the series(however we still got more screen time for him, hmmm)…..just incase you forgot…
LOL. doesn’t matter. in 5×07 will be an episode without jensen. BUT OLDER OR NOT, DEAN WILL BE THERE.
IN 5X07 dean charater will be there, but as an old men. IS not a lack of presence identical as sam in the beggining – only 30 seconds, or 5×04 ten minutes
DEAN will be in 5×07 AS AN OLD MEN. So DEAN will be there, THE CARACTER.
i don’t believe that EK and the others will ever do one simple episode with DEAN – not jensen – desappearing like they did to SAM in 4×03 and 5×04.
is not the same thing…
And yes i hate CASTIEL. HE must leave. CASTIEL SUCKS. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh, I can’t wait. This episode looks awesome!
Is future Dean missing his ring?
Thank you for the pics, they look great. It is going to be an amazing, bizarre episode.I especially like the reaper under the CROATAN word and the menacing little girl.

Thanks for that, Erica.
I find the way some fans have reacted in this thread truly embarrassing. And I hope no one associated with the show ever sees this, especially Jared and Jensen. For the record, I think this episode looks amazing. Sam’s part may be small, but I have no doubt that it will be of great importance. Can’t wait!
Man, this episode is gonna be awesome. I’m really anxious to see it!
Nope , Dean still have his ring , he have no more his amulet , his Impala is screwed and his beloved brother is not evil , it’s enough
Yes I wonder , too , what Jared thinks of some of Sam’s girls behavior (because some are cool) and every time once in a while when Sam is not a lot in an episode they go in every blog or forums or sites for say the show sucks and that Sam’s character is ruined , that Cas have to leave etc
Notice that they still watch the show
Girls or woman are just crazy. Instead of enjoying the show there is bitching all around the place. It makes me sad but I can´t say I didn´t saw that coming. SamGirls vs. DeanGirls????? Just crazy. What I see is just selfishness. Your guy is not around as much as the other???? Cancel the show…put Kripke ant the writers in the pillory. Think about it..must be fun to watch a show like that. Crazy, just crazy.
Whaaaaa…yes. There is a reaper. Cool stuff. Thanks again for those cool pictures.
@Word!
I’m guessing you think I’m a Dean!Girl then? Nope, try again mister. I’m Switzerland.
I generally find that Sam!Girls are the ones that whine and complain the most. But then again, maybe I’m looking in the wrong place.
So to clarify, as long as there are episodes, there will always be a group of people complaining ;D
woah, does Cas have- Facial Hair?! thaaaaats weird.
@ Ty – Somehow I don’t think it’s Jared who would be ashamed of his, or his character’s, fans if the guys stumbled across this particular comment section. There’s voicing a valid complaint or opinion, and then there’s needlessly attacking your fellow fans.
To everyone baaawing about Cas/Dean one: its silly since everyone knows Sams main role as well as Deans. And two Misha minions will get you for going for Cas.
This is sad. Really sad. I am sorry this continues on. I highly doubt anyone from Supernatural would be impressed with the behavior of the fans. As for the group that was whining about Dean not having a storyline some years ago I wasn’t there for that. In all seriousness for the first couple of seasons Dean’s storyline really was wrapped up in Sam’s storyline. Which is fine it’s the way it works. Honestly, I think the screentime complaints are crap. Mostly, because the show’s not about how much time Dean or Sam gets on screen. Also, I used to watch a show with a bigger series regular cast and they got less screentime than Dean or Sam. It’s been nice for me to watch a show that has two stars of the show.
I understand people have opinions I just think being upset because there’s a second episode out of now 5 seasons that has ten minutes of Sam is kind of silly. But I can sit here and tell you this stuff all day and you guys are still going to come up with something that proves that you’re right or something to that effect. I do apologize if any previous posts I made seemed like attacks. That was not what I was intending but it may have come off like that since I got frustrated with the screentime complaints.
I love the picture of Dean staring out the window.
Flicking back through the comments here seems to illustrate (to me) that much of the problem with some of the “Sam fans” over the past season or two is that their persecution complex is more about themselves then it is about Sam.
They don’t really seem to be fans of the character of Sam Winchester as he appears on Supernatural nor of the Sam Winchester that is portrayed with considerable aplomb by Jared Padelecki. They are not fans of a character on a long and arduous journey, who has made mistakes (as just about all the characters on this show have) and who is facing up to them, who still struggles but never denies his own culpability (once he realises it). They are not fans of a character who has grown into a MAN, a fully-fledged adult who takes responsibility for his actions and choices and doesn’t try to shift the blame elsewhere.
They appear to be fans of another Sam Winchester who is a perpetual victim, who never did anything wrong (because nothing that ever happened to him others around him was his fault and none of his choices were actually made by him) and who has been eternally persecuted by his father, his brother, demons, angels and Eric Kripke. This version of Sam Winchester (whom I never really saw, not even in season 1) is permanently enshrined in their heads as THE Sam Winchester and therefore cannot grow or develop at all. He must remain forever like this. Static.
Then they turnaround and complain that Sam gets no character growth and not enough of a story arc.
In all honesty, it’s as if they feel that the “SAM FANS” are getting persecuted and ignored rather than the character himself (the real character that has appeared on the show for over 4 seasons, not the other innocent victim they’ve enshrined in their heads). The fact that some of them (like Alex above) apparently misquote the shows actors and producers to build up the story of their perceived persecution. I am truly agog that (as Erica said) they can take things that compliments to Jared Padalecki and turn them into untruths that are actually insulting to him and his acting skills.
These so called “Sam fans” give true fans of the character Sam Winchester and the actor Jared Padalecki a bad name. They make the group known as “Sam fans” look like irrational and deceitful hate-mongers.
Now, I know that Supernatural fans, in general, have a rep for being a bit nutty (yes, understatement). And I know that there are some equally one-eyed dean fans (and even Castiel fans) out there. But seriously people, take a step back and look at yourselves. Think about what you are saying.
A couple of quotes from the boys stick in my mind (can’t remember the source, but it’s probably the official Supernatural magazine).
1) The actors work a gruelling schedule and enjoy the occassional ep being lite on their characters so they can get a bit of downtime.
2) Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are close friends. They’ve had people come to them and try to tell them things that they expect the other guy to hear – and those people are told that these guys don’t keep secrets from each other. They are friends who support each other. So tearing one down to build the other up seems pretty stupid, right?
@ Seriously? – First of all, nice work on judging your fellow fans. I’m not entirely sure what qualifies you to do that. Secondly, what you said is a sweeping generalization, and one of the reasons that many Samfans feel so persecuted. If you don’t worship Dean, you’re not entitled to an opinion in this fandom. You will get shouted down, belittled, and out and out insulted, for daring to have an opinion other than “Dean is the most awesome person ever!”. It’s not an overidentification with Sam. It’s based on the way people are treated. I’ve seen plenty of people who make a post about something show related and follow it up with a snide remark about the raving and annoying Samfans that will surely show up now, BEFORE ANYONE EVEN SAYS A WORD. Prejudice is not acceptable in the 21st century, but that’s what this is.
What you said about the actors schedules is true, and would be a valid argument IF it was happening in both directions. Since it isn’t, that can’t be held up as an acceptable reason for the situation.
And finally, most of the bashing I’ve seen here that is directed at the actor, not the character, is aimed at Jared, not Jensen. Like I said in my earlier post, if they happened upon this comment section, I don’t think it’s Jared who would be ashamed of his fans. At the very least, it wouldn’t be JUST Jared, that much I’m pretty sure of.
That was a little much Seriously? As I’ve said I am a Dean girl but I love Sam too. I always have and always will. I do not mean any of my comments to be belittling or insulting. I also really feel that if I thought Sam was being mistreated/mishandled by the writers in anyway I would have something to say.
The only I’ve been trying to understand is why people are upset about his screentime. I could see it being an issue if for the last 3 years or couple of years all we see is Sam for like the first five minutes of the show and then never again for the rest of the episode, every episode or at least on a consistent basis. After all he is a lead. Like I said I love Sammy so if that was happening it would be not cool.
I don’t know what else to say. Except that fans shouldn’t feel like what Jen described in the beginning of her post. Maybe instead of being fighting, attacking fans we should try to understand where our fellow fans are coming from and then if we don’t agree or can’t work through it: Agree to disagree.
Love the picture of Dean running.
LOVE how the movie theater sign in advertising Route 666.
Eagerly awaiting tonight’s episode!
It says something when I looked at these promos and was so distracted by Dean w/ a gun strapped to his leg that I didn’t notice one of my favorite actresses in the picture. Lexa Doig is AWESOME! And I hope Dean runs into her character again.
