r/Supernatural

hii i’m jess and i’m new to the fandom i started watching spn this summer and i’m almost done i’m on the last season currently i have 12 eps left i was just wondering if anyone wanted to be friends :) i think it’d fun to have a friend or 2 in this fandom

Supernatural has a really heartbreaking parallel that I only noticed by accident when I was looking for some scenes from the show for an edit.

So, in Season 5, Episode 4, Dean travels five years into the future and finds an apocalyptic world where the Croatoan virus has devastated humanity, and Sam has already said yes to Lucifer.

In this episode, Dean also meets his future self and realizes that he has become a cold man, willing to do anything to defeat his enemies, including sacrificing his friends. They have a confrontation scene where 2009 Dean says:

“Oh man, something is broken in you. You’re making decisions I would never make. I wouldn’t sacrifice my friends.”

He hates what he sees. He literally can’t recognize himself in his alternate future self.

But then we get to Season 15, many years later. In Episode 17, Dean is ready to sacrifice Jack, and when Sam confronts him, he says:

“I don’t care if Billie gets what she wants. I don’t, man. I trade it all. I trade them all for Chuck. In a heartbeat.”

Seeing that broke my heart, because despite fighting against his fate, he can’t escape it. He ended up becoming exactly what he had feared all those years before.

"shag ass outta here"

I'm guessing this means something quite different in the states, but as a Brit, every time they say it, I laugh!

Partly because of the image it puts in my head, but also because it's usually said with such seriousness.

Can anyone confirm or deny if it is that this means something different over there?

I just started watching Supernatural for the first time and I’m planning to binge the whole thing! I’m only on Season 1, so PLEASE no spoilers. 🙏

Honestly, I mainly started watching because I kept seeing how handsome the Winchester brothers are (I mean… can you blame me??? 😭), but now I’m actually getting into the show. I also did NOT expect it to be this creepy! Watching it alone at night was probably not my best decision. 😅

For those who’ve watched all 15 seasons, what should a first-time viewer expect? Does it get better, crazier, more emotional, scarier? Anything I should know going into it without spoiling anything? Also curious, who was your favorite brother when you first started watching? 👀

I’m excited to see why this show has such a huge fandom even after all these years!

How much shotgun ammo Hunters could save if they just brought in spray bottles or water guns filled with saline (salt water). I mean, definitely still bring the shotguns, but a spray bottle can be squirted across a room dozens of times. Also, same for holy water. I can't believe the writers for this show - seeing as how they love comedy - didn't arm Sam and Dean with little plastic water guns.

Rewatching and currently on 15x17. I love Dean, I really do…BUT. He can be pretty fn heartless sometimes. He says to Sam “Jack’s not family. He’s not you, he’s not Cas, he’s just NOT”. And the look on Jacks face when Dena turns around. And the look on Jacks face when they’re in the car and it looks like Dean is ABOUT to say sorry and just doesn’t.
It reminded me of when Jack burned his fn soul out saving them all from apocalypse world Michael and said “Because i’m a WINCHESTER” and it made my heart hurt because he thought he was, and Dean just basically said he wasn’t.

I have been watching this show for sometime now. I am on Season 8 and this is a very tumultuous season for Dean and Sam's relationship.

So, I am watching some edits on YouTube about their brotherly love from the old seasons. And it makes me emotional. I'm a grown ass dude 29 years old but makes me emotional and sometimes I also cry about it. Maybe it reminds me of a friend who is like a brother.

Just wanted to share with fellow hunters.

Carry On...

I started watching with my partner over summer break and we immediately fell in love with the show. It's super fun to watch with someone. We've been staying away from the subreddit to avoid spoilers, but the one thing every one tells us is "The first 5 seasons are incredible. But the rest are pretty good too." And we've been joking back and forth about what that means. We're about halfway through season 6, and I get it.

Seasons 1-5 are genuinely some of the best television we've ever watched together. Season 6 is still pretty good, but it feels a lot more like really solid fanfiction than anything. Don't get me wrong, we're still having a great time, but, yeah, we're not as invested. It's still a super comfy show I'm going to be watching for years though. It's like leftover pizza. It's not as good as it was, but c'mon. It's still pretty fucking good and when it's over over I'm going to be thinking about licking the box.

The first introduction of the angels was amazing, Castiel, how the demons were scared as fuck yelling they are all going to die etc ...

But as the show goes on, we barely see ANYTHING from their power, and ... they are fist fighting ???
Why on earth an angel is fist fighting ?
Why Castial got smacked two times by a demon ? a demon that for all we know didn't even know angels exist ?
And the same demon get rekt by ... Sam ?

So Sam is stronger than an angel now ?

The polarization is insane for me, on one hand I love the show, on the inconsistency is starting to wear down on me.

No spoilers please, but they keep handling angels the same way they do in season 4 or does it gets better ?

After 7 seasons im beginning to realize the angels are pretty much fodder 😂 like they have so many ways to stun, banish, and kill they arent really much better than demons at this point. Do they ever get their aura back in future seasons? Only threats at this point are archangels which there are only 2 left and they are in the cage

Do you guys think Castiel working with Crowley is justified or not justified? Or somewhere in the middle?

I think him working with Crowley makes sense because he needs to get more power to fight Rafael so that the apocalypse doesn't happen. At his power level previous to getting the 50k souls from Crowley, he was nowhere near the power he needed to be as the leader of a civil war vs Rafael.

However, he could have been more truthful about his plans from the start with the Winchesters and Bobby. I'm sure(or I hope) they would understand why he was doing it. Or do you think they wouldn't understand and they would have the same reaction they did when they found out Castiel was working with Crowley by themselves?

Every few years a revisit this series. I really enjoy it on the whole. In the middle of season 8 atm and getting into the most difficult part to stick with it through, though. All the conflict between Sam and Dean gets pretty old.

Hiiii guys!! I made a post the other day about going to creation con and meeting Misha this weekend, which I’m SOOO excited for. But today I was looking and saw that Richard Speight Jr AKA Gabriel is doing photos and it was only $65. The trickster episodes are some of my favorite he plays the character SOOO well. And just in general I love him, so I said ahh what the heck. So now I’ll be getting a photo with him too!! I’m just sharing genuine excitement! & again if anyone has any stories of meeting them and wants to share or advice, please let me know. I know these are only few second interactions but I seriously cannot wait. & I’m so grateful to be able to go and do this. (Jared & Jensen will have to wait until 2027). I also wanna do a Mark AKA Crowley but I think I’d be eating ramen for the next month if I add that on too😂
Again, just sharing my excitement & open to hearing anyone’s experiences! Thanks guys!!

I'm on my rewatch of Supernatural, and am currently on S5 E1: Sympathy for the Devil, and if there's one thing I noticed up to now, it's that demons always flash their black, white, etc. eyes every chance they get, as if they're showing off.

I doubt it's just an intimidation tactic, because they do so when others aren't looking. Is it simply just a plot device to let us know they're a demon (as if it wasn't obvious enough) or is it them stroking their egos?

It genuinely starts getting annoying after a while.
