MY SUPERNATURAL SHRINE!!
⛤ What?
Supernatural was a TV show that ran from 2005 to 2020 on CW, that followed Sam and Dean Winchester — played by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, respectively. The overarching plot changed too much over the course of the show to describe it succinctly, but it started as a monster-of-the-week type of show; While it kept that format for the most part, there was a lot more lore and stakes added each season.
⛤ Why?
For better or for worse, Supernatural is my all-time favourite show. It's nowhere near perfect, but honestly, that's part of its charm. I've known about Supernatural for a lot of my life, mainly because of my sister — she was a Supernatural fan during the height of the fandom, and is still a fan today! While I knew about Supernatural previously, I didn't actually watch it until sometime in 2021 — I don't remember exactly when, but I'm working on figuring it out.
⛤ Favourite Episodes
While I love most episodes of Supernatural (although there are definitely a few stinkers,) these are my all-time favourites! Not ranked, and all synopses are taken from either IMDb⤤ or Serializd⤤.
02.15 / Tall Tales
The Winchester brothers seek the help of their family friend Bobby while investigating a series of unexplained happenings on a local college campus.
02.18 / Hollywood Babylon
Sam and Dean discover that a group of ghosts are attempting to shut down production of a movie that they feel is mocking them.
03.03 / Bad Day At Black Rock
The Winchesters are called regarding a robbery of their father's storage unit, and track down the robbers to find the item stolen is a cursed rabbit's foot, which provides great luck until lost, and once lost the previous owner dies within a week.
03.13 / Ghostfacers
Sam and Dean decide to star in a violent, profane reality show named Ghostfacers. The show takes them to the haunted Morton Mansion, and they soon realize they're in over their heads.
04.06 / Yellow Fever
Hell beckons again when Dean is stricken with a mysterious illness that frightens its sufferers to death. Sam and Dean scramble to find the cause of the disease in time to save Dean from sure death.

Sam and Dean investigate when a small town's wishing well actually starts to grant the people's wishes.
05.08 / Changing Channels
Sam and Dean are thrown into an alternate universe by the Trickster where they are characters in different TV series.
Such a fucking classic. I LOVE Supernatural episodes that mess with the normal format (if you couldn't already tell with Ghostfacers, Baby, and Scoobynatural also being on this list,) and Changing Channels does it so well. Every "channel" they change to is so good. Also, it's hard to mess up an episode with Gabriel in it.
06.15 / The French Mistake
Sam and Dean find themselves in an alternate reality where everyone believes they are two actors named Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, who star in a TV show called Supernatural about two brothers who hunt monsters.
07.04 / Defending Your Life
Sam and Dean investigate a string of gruesome murders and discover the Egyptian god Osiris is behind the deaths. The vengeful god is putting people on trial for their past mistakes and killing them if found guilty. Osiris hones in on Dean’s guilt and decides he’s the next to stand trial. Sam steps in as Dean’s lawyer, but both brothers are unprepared when Osiris calls an unexpected witness Jo.
DEAN ANGST !!!
08.04 / Bitten
Sam and Dean come across a home made video of three friends whose lives are turned upside down by a werewolf.
Again, I love when the show takes bigs swings with the format, even if they don't always work out. It's also fun seeing an episode with virtually no Sam or Dean! More TBA.
08.08 / Hunteri Heroici
Castiel decides to become a hunter, like Sam and Dean. But his first day on the job is a doozy when they investigate a series of murders caused by old cartoon gags.
Cas-centered episodes are always good. More TBA.

To track down a killer, Dean uses a spell which allows him to speak with the only witness, a German Shepherd. However, he soon discovers that everything is going to the dogs when the spell starts making him act like a canine as well.
09.07 / Bad Boys
Sonny, a man who runs a boy's home, calls Dean for help after a mysterious death. When Sam wonders how his brother knows Sonny, Dean explains that he spent two months at the boy's home when he was 16, after being arrested for theft.
GODDDD this episode makes me feel so many emotions. More TBA.

Sam and Dean's road trip to fight monsters and demons, seen entirely from the Impala's perspective.
