Why this vid kicks ass:

How subtly and perfectly this vid flows and builds and makes its point. Sacrilicious has identified a Supernatural leitmotif and she presents the events of the first two seasons in that context. Decoding the theme of The Famous Final Scene is a satisfying exercise.

The melancholy music and foreboding lyrics are an ideal accompaniment to the carefully selected images. The concluding scenes bring home the emotional payoff.

The Famous Final Scene uses clips of some of Jensen Ackles’s best acting on the show, scenes in which he lets his eyes and face say it all for Dean. These scenes were strung out over 44 episodes and frankly the impact was lost on me. But when viewed as a thematic collection, wow. I’ve gone from thinking of Jensen as a wooden actor to thinking of him as an actor who does an outstanding job of conveying a stoic character’s emotions.

Like a guest who stayed too long
Now it's finally time to leave
Take it calmly and serene
It's the famous final scene
