This episode was just excellent! I can honestly say that i saw non of it coming and my god it was amazing! I promise not to give anything away... It's the least to say that this episode will blow your minds away. If you are a true Supernatural fans, you will be sitting at the edge of your seat. After the episode you will be waiting and literally counting down the days till season five begins. I don't even know when that will be and I'm already thinking it must be way too long. And I saw the episode about 15 minutes ago! Supernatural is one of the best shows now on TV and just the thought of ever waiting to see more of the Winchester boys is simply horrible. I know, but we people are not really known to be patience. Of course this is simply my opinion... feel free do dismiss anything and/or everything I wrote here.

The Final Seal
claudio_carvalho20 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Castiel and Zachariah abduct Dean and he discovers that the angels indeed want the Armageddon. Further, the death of Lilith is the last of the 66 seals to be broken for Lucifer rising. Meanwhile, Sam and Ruby find that Lilith is in the St. Mary's Convent in Ilchester, Maryland, and they head to the spot to vanquish Lilith. Dean succeeds in convincing Castiel to help him to meet Sam, but Castiel is stopped by an archangel. Dean runs to the convent to stop his brother.
The last episode of the Fourth Season has many twists and betrayals. The story is very well developed but unfortunately I have to wait for the release of the Fifth Season to see how it ends. My vote is nine.
Title (Brazil): "A Ascensão de Lúcifer" ("The Ascension of Lucifer")

Great Episode!

Great way to end this part of the story arc. Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins--perfection. Kurt Fuller gave a wonderful performance as well. Genevie Padalecki was wooden as always (always wondered why she replaced Katie Cassidy).
Must see episode.

I watched this last night and I still can't find the right words to describe it, except that it is beyond magnificent. Kripke you are the man, excellent job producing, writing and directing. All the cast was above terrific, Jared, Jensen, Misha, Jim, Rob and Kurt, you guys deserve a reward. And I have to mention a very special lady, Genevieve Padalecki, though I started off preferring Katie Cassidy as Ruby, I have to say you really got me on this one. And I'm glad Dean was never wrong about Ruby being a liar and manipulative and I enjoyed seeing her die. She was the real monster at the end of the book. The effects, the make up and the lights teams did an amazing job. If you are watching this on DVD, you might need to have your season five copy ready.
Great finale finishes off Supernatural's best season yet

This was a great finale. If you watched the whole season, you might not have been too surprised by what transpired, but it is an amazing set up to what is sure to be a phenomenal season five. If, that is, you don't mind the whole angels thing. Cuz with Lucifer rising, the heaven and angels are going to be involved for a while. Some people seem to hate the Angels but I think the show has done an amazing job with them. If Lucifer could get kicked out for pride and being a very naughty angel, why couldn't other angels be SOBs worthy of some heavenly recrimination too? The "Green Room" where they hold Dean to keep him from intervening in Sam's fateful showdown with Lillith was pretty neat. We got to see some more Angel arrogance and manipulation. The bowl of Sam's favourite hamburgers was a perfect symbol and a reminder of the importance of context. in that green room in that bowl in that scenario in that quantity, and with Zaccariah as host, they looked pretty unappetizing!
A fabulous finale, -1 for Genevieve Padalecki's God awful acting

Everything that has to be written about this episode already has been written by other reviewers. It was near perfect. The only thing that bothered me about it, and also about the entire season was the choice of using an awful actress to play the phenomenally important and iconically evil role of Ruby. In this finale even her lines were badly written, probably ad libbed by her. Her role is so crucial and the poor performance from GP just spoilt this season for me. Wish this was different, otherwise an amazing season that ended with a freaking awesome finale.
Lucifer is coming

This was a great thrilling episode, with a lot revealed and tension between the brothers was great.
Season 4 9.5/10
Season 4 was very different from the past 3, it became into a fantasy, it added a lot to the series with the main plot being strengthened and flowing flawlessly for a show that didn't plan this. Many episodes dedicated to the mythos and some great standalone ones.
Main plotlines were
1. Ruby good or evil, she was a great character, at one point even Dean starts trusting her
2. What is Sam doing and his fate, the demon blood and what it means for him, one of the saddest scenes was when Sam meets Castiel and he gets referred to as the boy with demon blood
3. Dean's faith
Dean being saved makes him hopeful but Tessa tells him that fear inside him should be listened to, one of my favorite scenes from the series
4. The angels, rebellion, faith
Everything about them is a mystery
5. Castiel
Great character, amazing character
6. Does God care?
7. The seals
8. Fillers
Most of them were very good, i like fillers and a show like spn can be almost just fillers, like its 1-3 series
9. Comedy
Great comic eps plus usual Dean sassery, though the character has lost his innocenct mannerisms, seems angry and deep most of the time.
10. Dean's time in hell
Perhaps a bit cringey, just because the topic itself is so heavy it can't be done in any other way
Basically there was a lot going on this season, way more than probably 1-3 combined, the monsters of the week were severely reduced to make room for angels and demons and the show is better for it because it deepens the mystery and drama between the brothers.
Some pet peeves i had were 1. Torture scenes Spn didn't put them in such focused light before, i just found the Allistair one cringey then Sam for no reason hallucinates him getting tortured and ruby 2. fight sequences Not very exciting 3. Angel and Demon mythology As it gets more developed, more questions just pop up about the mythology of these things, my least favourite is hell, it gets painted as this place where demons can just walk in and out, why? 4. The sympathetic monsters I got nothing against this, i think its good actually to show the grey areas of hunting, my problem is that almost all of them are just monsters who need to eat people to survive or were discriminated against, very few psycho mastermind monsters
Fave eps Monster at the end of the book Yellow fever Monster movie School one

A fitting climax to a near perfect season
CubsandCulture12 March 2020
Ruby is one of the weaker aspects of the show. Both actresses who played her are not the best actresses around and the character is wooden and stiff as a result. Sam's trust in her is perplexing at first. However, the character ends up working because of this final story beat present. It sells all the other aspects and amazingly enough the twist doesn't feel like a cheat. It one of the aspects that makes this a near perfect climax for the near perfect season that I wished to highlight.
Season overall:
season 4 is debatable the best season of the show because it manages to have one of the most intense storyline that causes the Sam and Dean to fight. Their disagreement in this season feels less forced and more real than later brotherly melodrama the show comes up with. There is something more relatable to Sam's addiction than yet another contrived secret that one of them have kept. Apart from that the mythical arch hasn't fully taken over the show and the one offs in this are wonderfully daft and quirky. The season has a balance and freshness that show ends up lacking in later seasons.
Average Episode Score: 8.9545
Top three episodes
1. Criss Angel is a Douchebag 2. Wishful Thinking 3. Monster Movie
Bottom Three Episodes:
20. Heaven and Hell 21. In the Beginning 22. Family Remains
