I agree so much with everything you've said here, especially this:
"One...what the hell are they going to do for the real series finale? Because anything will be an anticlimax after that. And two...because there is a Season Six on the horizon, "Swan Song" was kind of a weird mashup of Kripke's Own Private Series Finale (literally, his swan song) and...all this other stuff. ."
Personally, I'm still conflicted about the finale, but I am interested to see where they go with Season 6. Though, like you said, I find it hard to believe the "real" series finale will be able to accomplish the emotional impact of what we saw last week.
