Poll Your Favorite Supernatural Episodes!

[auntiehill]

Trying to narrow down almost 15 years of episodes from your favorite show is no easy task, but since I have nothing but time'd, I thought I put a poll together. We have a very long wait before we can see the last few episode of this 15th and final season, so let's look back at some of our favorites.

I tried my best to whittle it down to a round number but I ended up with 31, so with the "other" option, it comes to 32. You have unlimited votes, so knock yourself out.

Here's IMDB's episode guide, to help you remember all those seasons.

I am struggling to remember individual episodes because I haven't watched the show in several years, but Season 5 was brilliant and I think Swan Song is the best of the bunch.

 

[KeepOnTrekking]

Definitely "Mystery Spot." I feel like that every morning when I wake up.

I don’t know the episodes by name and I haven’t seen all of some of the recent seasons, but off the top of my head, two of my favs were the episode where Sam and Dean are finally captured by FBI agent, Victor Henriksen, and the episode where Sam and Dean are sent into the real world by Balthazar.
I know the real world episode was comedic, don’t think I’v seen an episode of any show that made fun of all aspects of a show, but despite the laughs, it explained that the guys were working in an alternate version of the universe.

I loved Hendrickson as a character. He was competent, smart, efficient, a little arrogant, and he was convinced that Sam and Dean were the worst criminals of all time, Watching him figure out on his own that not only had he misjudged the brothers as criminals, he finds out they’re actually hero’s . And the fact that him and Dean then bond over the relative wretchedness of their lives was icing on the cake.

Oh, one of other favs was season 8 episode 12, the one where they find out they were supposed to be “Men of Letters.” That was one of the smoothest and natural expansions of an existing mythology I’v ever seen in a TV show.

The “Gordon” episodes were great as well. Sterling K. Brown whose menacing, halfway crazy, performance was one of the best of all the show’s recurring characters.

The one where Henriksen captures them and demons then attack the jail, is "Jus in Bello." It's one of my favorites, too.Whenever it comes up on TNT's morning reruns, I have to stop and watch it.

The comedic episode, where they are transported to an alternate universe, taking over the lives of actors Jared & Jensen, is "The French Mistake." It's brilliantly funny. Definitely one of their best ever.

The episode where they meet their father's father--Henry--is "As Time Goes By." Another good one. I didn't think of it when I made the list--it might just deserve a spot.

The one that leaps to mind, for me, is the episode 'Baby'. The entire episode is told from the cars prospective. Very unique .... and I'm a sucker for 60's Impalas...

 

[auntiehill]

"Baby" was a great episode. Whoever would've thought that the point of view of a car would be so interesting?

 

[Q2UnME]

The other one that sticks in my head was the one where they're trapped in an alternate reality and we see Dean die like 100 times, each worse than the previous .... buggered to remember the title and can't be arsed to look it up... probably the funniest I can remember.

That is "Mystery Spot," where Loki/Gabriel kills Dean over a hundred times, as Sam is caught in a Groundhog Day-like hell. It's both funny and deeply disturbing at the same time. Definitely a top episode.

I'm not great with titles either (although "Baby" and "Scoobynatural" are pretty obvious), but my favorites are the offbeat ones-- like "Baby" and "Scoobynatural." Also that one that was a black-and-white homage to the Universal Monster movies. And, of course, the one where Chuck returned and saved the town-- he turned into a wrathful god later, but that episode was great. I'll track down the titles and then come back and vote.

The black and white homage to the Universal Monster movies was titled, appropriately enough, "Monster Movie." And the one where Chuck returns, has that great conversation with Metratron and, at the end, saves the town is one of my favorites: "Don't Call Me Shurley." Rob Benedict does *such* an excellent job in that one. Did you know that he nearly died at one of the conventions? One of the reasons he was absent from SPN for so long is that he was recovering from a life-threatening stroke.
From SupernaturalWiki:

In October of 2013 Rob suffered a stroke at a Toronto Supernatural convention. In the afternoon on Sunday Rob began having trouble speaking. It came and went, so both he and (friend and convention host) [URL='http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=Richard_Speight']Richard Speight Jr

. laughed it off, assuming it was con fatigue. Rob went ahead with his Q & A and autographs, but the speech issues returned. He finished his line but was feeling like he “...was having a panic attack.” Phone calls were made and a trip to the hospital was decided on.

Upon arriving at the hospital Rob had a CAT scan. Rob was informed he was having a stroke and they needed to act quickly. Rob's carotid artery had split, causing a blood clot in his brain which lead to aphasia. The doctors gave him a clot busting shot in the emergency room. He spent the next 10 days in the hospital in Canada and took off the rest of the year to focus on speech therapy.

Optimistically, Rob says he looks back on his recovery time well, appreciating how “in the moment” his time was. He refers to life “before the stroke and after the stroke” admitting life is never going to be the same, but he is always excited for what's to come. He speaks with love about the support from his family, friends, and the Supernatural family.

Thank you very much. So I've voted for "Baby," "Don't Call Me Shurley," "Scoobynatural," and "Other" for "Monster Movie."

Rob Benedict does *such* an excellent job in that one.

Yeah, he's been great in the part. I wonder if any of them knew where it would lead when he did that first episode as Chuck.

Did you know that he nearly died at one of the conventions? One of the reasons he was absent from SPN for so long is that he was recovering from a life-threatening stroke.

Wow, I did not know that. I'm glad he's recovered so well. His story is almost identical to a friend of mine, who started slurring her speech at a veteran's writing event. Luckily some of the other veteran's had medical training, which saved her life. But she spent several months in a rehab and a nursing home, and to this day has trouble with times and dates and telephone numbers and passwords and stuff. And now she's at super high risk for the virus.
