r/Supernatural

For me it's s15 now, used to be 12 but I managed to watch through that horrible season. Been watching spn for at least 7 months, count completely focus on it due college and exams. Right now I'm stuck at s15, lost my interest to watch it cuz I felt the previous season was underwhelming. The show kinda fell off for me after s10. I wanted to continue but now I'm kinda busy with all pending classes and notes

Bobby is an absolute unit. The episode when he died and was in a coma will always be a heartfelt emotional roller coaster. When he was in his childhood home and his dad was just being an idjit. Bobby said “Kids ain’t supposed to be grateful. They’re supposed to eat your food and break your heart, you selfish dick.” We all know that he was also referring to dean and Sam. It showed that Bobby was more of a father figure to them than their own father.

Edit: scared

I just started watching the show for the first time ever. And I'm on S1ep14 at the moment. And I'm absolutely loving it. It's literally a masterpiece. I don't remember the last time I felt this way about a show.

But I have heard from people online and friends who have watched it that it lowk gets bad in later seasons and loses all the seasons 1 vibes. Ever since that I just don't wanna watch it everyday just to like watch it super slowly yk? Savor it ig.

Does it actually get bad in the later seasons? If it does from which season does it start from?

Edit: literally every comment is saying after s5 the ogness kinda fades away...

Mary Winchester is not telling her boys, made a deal with the British Men of Letters . Even though someone smart enough should be able to tell they are jackasses. Literally making me think that she will hold a special history in the hunter history of US hunters ( according to the series point of view ) - The woman who came from death to bring Doom.

And I think it's in the blood of the Winchester to never tell the truth to their own family members.

But I really think the Rowena and Crowley even though shown as evil at the start became necessary evil and more like the people from the workplace you can get along but can't trust.

I have watched supernatural like 15 times, and I am just a huge fan. I would love for them to make more seasons but they made it very clear that they are not going to. They made the series “Winchester” and it was not what I was expecting

Hi all,

I got a very kind response to my first post here, where I shared my thoughts watching the Supernatural pilot for the first time. So here I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the second episode, Wendigo.

I was thinking about the pilot all day. As I shared in a comment on my first post, I’m really interested in how Sam, who is estranged from his father, might start to understand him after going through the same trauma he did 20 years ago. I also am very invested in the complex relationship between Sam and Dean. Dean loves his little brother enough to run into a fire and pull him out, but it’s not a perfect relationship—he encourages him to skip the law school interview that would clearly better his future.

Thoughts on Wendigo
- Dean trying to make Sam feel better by offering to let him drive the car. Simultaneously very sweet and absolutely diabolical commentary on how “no chick flick” type men flail at offering emotional support. At least he’s trying…
- I have heard the story of the Wendigo before (in an academic setting). I learned that the myth pre-dated colonization, but that in the intervening centuries it also came to function as representation of white settler violence against indigenous people.
- It’s kind of refreshing how Sam and Dean already know the lore of their universe (the ghost woman from the last episode, the Wendigo here) so we don’t have to waste time with them going “whattt but x monster can’t be real.” At the same time, I want there to be an episode with something they’ve never heard of so they’re put on the back foot. I’m sure there will be; there are fifteen years’ worth of storylines to go. Which is just so crazy to me. I want to know about their futures (not literally, no spoilers pls lol). Do they work as monster hunters forever?? Do they have kids???
- “Bring it on, baby, I taste good.” Dean is so weird (affectionate).
- Wasn’t as huge a fan of this one. The pilot seemed like an instant classic, but I found myself wanting to look at my phone more during Wendigo. I watched the first four seasons of The X-Files years ago, and this one kind of reminded me of those slow middle-of-the-season episodes where they didn’t really bother to tie the monster of the week into Mulder or Scully’s own personalities or histories. Not awful, but also not my favorite to watch. My gold standard for monster of the week television is Buffy, where there are always interesting interpersonal relationships or character insights even during one-off plots.
- I’m not indigenous, so I can’t speak to this with authority, but I thought the depiction of the Wendigo here was insensitive, maybe even a little racist. It was presented as an antagonist without much cultural context; I thought the episode might have been improved if the side characters we met during this episode were indigenous themselves. Also Anasazi is Pueblo lol, I don’t think those symbols would do much to stop an ice creature from northern America (the man who talked to my class about it was Ojibwe).
- But yeah, overall I felt that some of the momentum from the pilot petered out here. Don’t have nearly as much to say on this one. Some scary moments, some fun interactions, but nothing approaching the “Dad’s been on a hunting trip and hasn’t come home in a few days” + meaningful look moment from the pilot. I liked Haley; I was glad to see that there will be female characters, even one-offs, that are prominently featured (after the pilot killed both women off). She had more of a personality than the sheriff or her younger brother or the guys from the opening scene, all of whom were fine, but whose dialogue/acting was a little stereotypical even for stock characters.
- I’ll definitely still be watching, but less because I am expecting immediate plot and character developments and more because I am already so attached to Sam and Dean (especially Dean, I love how flirtatious and goofy he is).

In the intro sequence to S1 E4 “Phantom Traveler” there is a very specific alarm that goes off when the plane cabin depressurizes. To me it really reminds me of the Halo no shield sound effect, and I feel like I’ve heard it before. Would anyone happen to know the name of this sound effect? It roughly lasts from 4:00-4:22. I know this is a very specific question, but any help would be appreciated.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and the salt myths are a part of research I've done in the past.

The show takes inspiration from myths all across the world, saying that salt is a stone of purity, and nothing with malicious intents, or evil blood can cross it. If I remember correctly it was mentioned in the show at one point, I just can't remember what season.

Since it takes inspiration from those myths and is used in the show to trap demons/ghosts or keep them out of a certain area, it would make sense for that to be the go to protection from vampires, shape shifters, wendigos, etc.

So why isn't it used more often? If y'all have any thoughts I'd be happy to hear them! :3

Just realized that the demon that was visiting baby’s the night they turned 6 months old to give them his blood was doing it at 6 months because that’s the first time baby’s can eat something other than formula or breast milk.

The title basically says it all i am the valedictorian for my high school and I want to add a supernatural quote into my speech it can be funny or serious I just can't think of any I could put in easily

The Alpha Shapeshifter seemed to dominate a group of hunters while it took multiple black eyed demons to restrain the Alpha Vampire after he was dosed with a lot of dead man's blood and tortured.

Hi

The alpha vampire will come back ? I like it s great character like Crowley.

If you would name a boat after someone/something from Supernatural, what name would you give your boat?

I'm currently rewatching Spn, and as far as I remember, I always disliked John just as most Spn fans, but I'm now at s2 ep. 1 and honestly can't remember what he could've possibly done after saving Dean's life to make everyone hate him like that

Not that he's magically a great father after all of this, but if he doesn't do anything horrible in the later seasons, then I'm really irritated over the hate towards him lol

And yes, I know I could find it out by myself by continuing the show, but seriously, this show has 15 seasons of 42-minute long episodes so...yeah, please just drop whatever he's done, I don't mind any spoilers
