r/Supernatural

How come supernatural isn’t taken as seriously or became a smash hit?

Whenever I see supernatural brought up in other subs they usually describe it as cheesy or guilty pleasure tv compared to others the walking dead, the wire or breaking bad which are described as quality tv. While the show has a dedicated fanbase I’m surprised it never became a cultural phenomenon back in the 2000s why is that is it cause of the channel it was on?

Wish they had kept my favorite character around a little longer.

Bobby was my favorite character. I really wish they didn’t get rid of him when they did . over half the series without one of its foundational characters . if they didn’t want to keep paying him , just have him retire and move aboard or something. Im ranting but I really miss the character.

I know S6 and S7 have gotten their flowers somewhat over the years but

dammit did we lose with getting rid of Sera Gamble. She was cooking. I still love a lot of episodes after S7 but you could really tell there was an honorable extension after the original vision with kripke (in my opinion for the better) versus what came after.

Lets talk about post-con feels

Hello Fellow hunters!
Man what a ride of emotions! Where do I even start?

I feel so many things and my brain is scambled, I’m amazed, happy, confused?, a bit grieving, starstruck, anxious…

I have been watching the show my whole life, I do not remember a moment where dean and sam were not in my life, first DVD was bought to me by my dad when I was 7 YO (2006) because no cartoon or show grabbed my attention ( I was an autistic child and later diagnosed with ADHD)

I later lost my dad at 8-9 years old, had to be the mother and father for my little brother because my mom worked her ass off (sound familiar ?) and had a very rough life up until 21yo when I finally moved out.

In this photo op I walked in and I see Jensen and I had a tunnel vision, with intense derealization, both images of dean and Jensen came crashing at once and I couldn’t think of anything or hear anything besides HIM (for about 30 full seconds) all I could see was him, my ears were like I was in space witt no sound around me. then the staff member voice hit my brain “ma’am hey look at me, he’s human just like us okey?”, then she took my phone and I didn’t wanna give up my phone and she said : You want me to show it to him right? I just nodded and gave the phone.
So I walk to Jensen and said Hey im back! And he smiled at me, (im sure the dean in him was like “great! This one talks 🙄“ ahhaha) he got into the pose and asked me “Like this?”, I said yeah and did the rock on face. Then I said thank you while looking at his eyes because (my brain doing that ADHD thing to make sure he’s safe and real)

I feel like at this second photo op that dean image cracked a little, I’m so scared to put on the show now.. I don’t know if im still gonna see dean as this full other fictional human who exists in his own world or not.. I’m afraid that now I connect his gesture or anger or sadness to what I saw in Jensen..

For those who did a convention before, does it get better ?

season 8

I am on my 7th rewatch, and I have to admit that I really struggle to get through season 8. The Amelia storyline, Sam not even trying to look for dean and abandoning Kevin Tran, the demon tablet, and making castiel yet again get tricked into being the bad guy. I just feel like so many choices didn’t align with the characters.

I am usually a no-skip spn watcher (minus Bloodlines) and even love season 7 but find myself wanting to skip season 8.

Anyone else feel this way? I’m trying so hard to like it lol. I’m also curious what is everyone else’s favorite and least favorite season. I genuinely can’t choose a favorite because I love something different about each.

I have a fun notification sound...

I was hurt a few years ago, at the time I was working as an assistant nurse and I was at work when I got hurt. I was also back in nursing school. Since I have had a hell of a time getting back on my feet, I have had to argue with my treatment team and heavily advocate for myself. To the point where a lot of things would have been missed and I would have been in limbo a lot longer.. So...... When ever I get a notification from any of my medical teams the sound is, "ARE YOU IDIJITS TRYIN' KILL ME!" I thought it seems fair. Thoughts?

Suggestions for if I should skip the season or just specific episodes in S7 for my own mental health journey

Want to keep watching but feeling triggered by the Sam's PTSD and trauma with Lucifer in first few episodes of S7. Should I skip the whole season?

I watched Supernatural many years ago, before it was even fully released, and I really enjoyed it. Since then, I've done a lot of personal work on my mental health and my own PTSD. It's been hard but very, very worth it. However, I've found that media I used to be able to watch can now make me feel very uncomfortable or anxious.

I'm rewatching Supernatural and am on S7, and I'm finding myself particularly triggered by Lucifer taunting Sam about him still actually being in the pit and Sam's fear as he feels like he's losing grip on reality.

I'm fine skipping episodes here and there if they are too much for me, but I don't remeber how deeply intertwined this particular plot with Lucifer is. Does it continue through the whole season? I'm only a few episodes in.

Thank you!

Dean's demon sense

How did dean lose his demon vision after he returns from hell? I remember he could see them but lost his power over the course of season 4

Question About Later Seasons Dean.

EVERY TIME I go to watch a new episode with my brother, I notice that Dean becomes slowly more red as the show goes on? My bro doesn’t even see it, and I’m wondering if it’s something they’ll address, or is it an ongoing mystery for the time being?

First he was a little orange, but now this is just crazy. This is getting out of hand, even for THIS show. Grrrr… this is making me… urggh… ANGRY… WHY is he red? It doesn’t match my Funko Pop anymore!! *looks at my Dean Incester Funko Pop*

Welp. Bryan Fuller knows best I suppose, and if that’s the direction he wants to take this tale of brotherly love then so be it. Their love grows stronger as Dean grows redder.

—————————

TLDR: So ok, Sam is turning blue now, and I’m feeling lightheaded. I don’t know if I can watch this anymore.

Why doesn’t Jared do cons in July

Hi!
So I came across a reel about supernatural con and Jared wasn’t there, so I naturally went to the comment section to maybe find an answer and got one but I’m still confused. People are saying that Jared doesn’t do cons is July ? Is there any reason for that?

Most I found about it was that for this specific con he was absent because he’s shooting (while that can be true but doesn’t make sense for all July- if at all it’s true). Some say because it’s his birthday in July so that’s why.

I frankly didn’t know that it was a thing that he didn’t do cons in July (I live in a country where stuff like this doesn’t happen so I’m not super aware about it). So just wanted to know if it’s true and if so why that might be.

surprised to see the symbol of the flag of my country in these chips

hey so I'm binge watching supernatural ( currently at season 9 ep 7 ) i got surprised to see the white cercle and red crescent and star that tunisia's flag which is my home country in the poker chips that the witch used , i litteraly paused and was like i never expected to see this in this show lmao , i was wondering why did they choose such design and if they wanted to make them different than the regular chips but for me its litteraly just the tunisian flag xD

Edit : a lot of people somehow think I'm assuming that they purposely used the Tunisian flag for the poker chips while that's not the case at all I'm just pointing the resemblance that i noticed I am aware that its not the flag and that it means something else i didn't know of until the comments pointed that its for witchcraft symbols .

Lisa and Ben

I am about to finish the series and thinking back, I think Chuck is the reason Ben acts and talks like Dean which is why Dean tried to reconfirm by asking Lisa if she was sure he is not his. Chuck prolly thought it would be funny to give him hope and then take it away or something like that.

Cuz the further we go into the show we realize how immature Chuck is.

I might be overthinking and it might be a coincidence but it feels plausible.

Just finished season 9…

I started watching this series a few months ago and decided I’d make my first post on here after lurking the past few seasons. [SPOILERS]

We are so back… honestly seasons 6 and 7 were hard to get through and season 8 wasn’t all too great either, but this one finally felt like a worthy addition to 1-5 imo. I really liked to devil plot, not too keen on the Angel one but I think overall this was a great season. My favorite episode was definitely road trip, it was interesting watching Sam and Dean split up with entertaining parters (Crowley this season was great). I also really enjoyed watching Jody grow as a side character, the vampire episode was shot super well and reminded me of the older seasons as well. Least favorite was definitely the Chicago mob one… had to read about the context to that and it made some sense. What are y’all’s thought on season 9?

Season 5 episode 12

Hi, I'm rewatching s5 e12 and I can't wait for the conclusion of the episode so I wanna ask now. How old is Sam supposed to be in that? Because of that older woman he is "gonna do it with". I thought that was weird

Thoughts about conventions

Hey guys! I had my first convention yesterday and I’m still processing my emotions.
I wanted to write here to keep feeling a connection to all the SPN family so here it is.

To be completely transparent, I am a little disappointed, NOT BY THE ACTORS! But by the system of conventions in general

I always watch Jensen with his co-stars and behind the scene work and I had this idea of how Jensen is : a loving, caring, very creative and beautiful human being. But during the convention I felt like I got a very superficial version of him. I have ADHD and AUTISM and that means any superficial interaction in daily life already feels like my personal hell, so to do a photo op where I got no real interaction with the person it felt soul crushing.
The panel went so bad in my opinion because there was two questions where women OPENLY flirted with him in front of everyone and the questions were so gross. I was like “wait what? Why are they talking to him like this?? How? What?” And it felt like that shock made me zone out in my head thinking about all the things like this he must heard over the years and my heart Litteraly ached for him! I recognized it was an intense emotion i had (i have a lot of those) but it made me so very mad!

Now I’m in my bed just looking at our photo op and thinking one thing : This is just scripted… no connection with the person.. I didn’t earn that hug…

There is also very beautiful moments, I had a beautiful interaction with Mark shepard where I got to exchange with him over something and it felt amazing to be seen! Seen as a fan who doesn’t view the actors as just “hot people” or anything like that..

Anyway hope this text is not too negative for a chill Sunday 😂 I just wanted to know if there is other people out there who share the same sentiment

Who has drank more beer, Sam or Dean?

Surely someone knows this...I‘m willing to bet it’s Dean; Sam is more or less a social drinker.
