"Supernatural" made history as the longest-running genre show in TV history. The show amassed 15 seasons of plotlines and dozens upon dozens of characters that fans care about through what feels like a revolving door of death and apocalypses. Yet shockingly, in the show's whopping 327 episodes, most of the storylines are addressed and tied up.
At the beginning of the series, "Supernatural" took a monster-of-the-week approach, tackling different folklore and mythology with each episode. Sure, each season had an overarching big bad and a battle, but much of the show's episodes felt like mini-movies. By Season 4, "Supernatural" introduced more connected episodes that dive deep into the struggle between heaven and hell. Of course, Sam and Dean Winchester still travel the US (and occasionally Canada) for filler episodes and one-off monster hunts, but the main storyline still prevails.
With this episodical and season-wide structure that frequently has per-episode closure, it's easy for writers to tie up loose endings. Still, that doesn't necessarily mean that everything is tied together nicely with a bow. By the end of "Supernatural," a hefty number of questions remain open-ended. Here are some of the most prominent "Supernatural" questions that will plague fans forever.
