Rules
Follow Reddiquette. Be respectful & civil even when you disagree with others. Keep discussions focused on what you think about someone's opinion and not on what you think about the person who has the opinion.
All posts must be flaired with the relevant season or content group. It only takes a few extra clicks/taps to do this and will make sure discussions are labeled appropriately. This prevents the post submitter from being spoiled AND prevents commenters from spoiling someone by discussing a future event.
All submitted content must be directly related to the TV show Supernatural; meaning this subreddit is not for sharing personal experiences with the supernatural. Please refer to this post for our policy on actors and their other works. This also includes songs, items, creatures, and other topics featured on Supernatural that appear in other forms of media in a way that is unrelated to the show, and random things found "out in the wild" that inadvertently remind you of Supernatural (like a picture of black smoke or an Impala you spotted on the highway). These objects can appear during normal day-to-day, but they need to appear in a context related to that object's appearance in the show for it to be relevant. Additionally, posts that are critical of the interpersonal relationships between the actors and/or the toxicity of their respective fanbases are unrelated to Supernatural and should instead be posted on that specific actor's subreddit, which are listed below in the "recommended" section. Posts about the actors that the mods have deemed inflammatory and will likely cause a strong negative reaction from the subreddit community based on prior experiences with similar post topics will also be removed at the moderator's discretion. It's nothing personal; this is a subreddit full of passionate people, and these posts tend to explode into chaos/arguments and end up being removed by the moderators, anyway.
No piracy. This includes torrent websites and third-party websites that sell ripped-off Supernatural merch. If any of these merch scam posts appear, please report them as soon as possible to flag them for moderator review.
Low-quality & low-effort content will be removed at the discretion of the mods. This includes but is not limited to: simple screenshots/videos/gifs of scenes, polls and surveys, subreddit games (i.e., "one sentence only this fandom would understand", or elimination games), tier rankings, "this or that" comparisons, unpopular opinion posts, and posts that are instigative, inflammatory, or aggressive in nature, including posts focused solely on negativity/hate that do not generate a constructive discussion. This also includes posts regarding the multiple instances of sexual assault that have been alluded to on the show, as they are triggering for community members and have already been discussed to death. Memes may be allowed if they generate sufficient discussion (measured in comments, not upvotes), but not if it doesn't contain images from Supernatural. Meme trends are NOT allowed. These are posts that make the rounds in every fandom subreddit as well as on social media such as Facebook. They usually include an image of some sort (one person vs a crowd, Flynn from Tangled with knives at his throat, a 9-square grid to be filled with things like "the fan favorite", "made to be hated", "the hot one" and so on), often have a low-effort title ("go", "let's see", etc.), and require little to no effort overall from the OP (doesn't offer any thoughts, opinions, or guidelines of their own to help encourage discussion).
AI-generated content is not allowed on the subreddit. We originally classified these posts under the low-effort/low-quality content rule, but due to the rapidly increasing popularity of these programs, it has now been separated into its own rule. Examples include but are not limited to images created with programs like Midjourney or DALL-E, as well as scripts/fanfiction created by text-based programs like ChatGPT. A lot of these AI content generation programs use internet databases of images and writing to create their libraries and do not provide any credit or compensation to the original creators for what they use.
No reposts/common topics. Please use the subreddit search feature and check pinned announcement posts for recent news/events being discussed and for recurring topics that have been discussed recently or at some point in the past. Also, this subreddit is not Google, so please utilize the Supernatural Wiki and other search engines to answer simple questions.
Always properly credit the artist when posting fanworks. "Stolen from Facebook" is not considered you giving credit.

He’s so fucked up for ditching Kevin and Dean!!! What the fuck was he thinking, he could have at least made sure Kevin was okay first or his own BROTHER???
Weird thing is, dean would have given his own life (and has) to make sure sam is okay.
What a total asshole what happened to his character and morality
I’ve been looking for these nickel 45s for a while now. I saw this one go up on sale for $625 and couldn’t say no to that
Why do you y’all think the British Men of Letters waited so long to get involved with the United States or the Winchesters considering the world apocalypse and all the other things happening.
I understand from a writing standpoint point because of all the story lines. And obviously before the writers probably didn’t think about over seas Men of Letters at first, considering John’s dad and The US Men of Letters didn’t get brought up until season 8. But just something I’ve thought about.
!Alright so I literally JUST started s11 ep1 so careful with the spoilers please, but I feel the need to talk about this. So, back a few seasons ago, when Dean and Cass got zapped to Purgatory, Sam normally lived a whole year without Dean, didnt even go looking for him, met a girl, all chill. Now a few seasons later, Dean is on the INCREDIBLY THIN line of becoming a flippin all mighty DEMON, and Sam is trying so desperately to stop it, he is agreeing to let the probs current most power witch on earth have the most dangerous spell book in the world, AND on top of that, unleash THE DARKNESS, which isnt specified yet what it is, but it dont sound good, considering that Death said it was fought off by thr ARCHANGELS AND GOD...None of which they have in inventory right now (all archangels are dead or encaged, gabriel COULD potentially be alive but he is unavailable, and God is distanced for a while now). All that just for one life. and for even better POV, this is like not even 3 episodes after Charlie dies....!<
I was watching some convention videos and Dean mentions about going onto other shows/movies and killing their monsters, and it would be hilarious. So what movie/show bad guy would make the best for Supernatural.?
For me, IT. Imagine Sam and Dean driving into Derry Maine. Start the hunt of some monster living in the sewers. Just to run into Pennywise. Sam would crap his pants.
That’s all. The white fluff is so cute.
Has anyone noticed like how exaggerated deans chewing is the way way he moves his mouth ? Maybe it is Jensen’s acting choices but 😂😂 I specifically am on season 14 episode eight I’m re-watching for the first time since the series ended And the scene where they’re all drinking about Jack and then they eat a candy bar. I know it’s like a caramel candy bar, but it’s very exaggerating chewing and he always does that every time he’s eating😂😂😂
The actor they got for Zeus in season 8 was awesome, and the king of the Olympian gods would have been a fantastic opponent to Team Free Will.
Why waste such a potent figure as a monster-of-the-week?
I find it funny that Dean readily berates Cass for ignoring them or not being present for them in the way that he wants. And he talks horribly to him. But whenever Dean wants something or needs something, Cass must be at his beck and call. Nasty work.
I just finished watching the fifth episode of the 10th season "fan fiction". I think this kind of (funny) episodes make the show more beautiful.(such as dean dog Day or smth like that or the one which they are in a tv show because of the Gabriel etc.) Also in this one, it felt safe to see the relationship between spn and the fans. Idk it felt really great and I just wanted to share it besides I wanna about you thoughts (love yall)
Looking at the scene from the title I remember it being late in the series, with MOTW/another being not instantly recognizing Sam and Dean, and them being surprised
I have watched Episode 11 Season 3 a while back and couldn't help but make an edit for it.

Now for the actual review
Let’s start with Sam…so basically since season 2, Sam has been set up to be part of the demon plot but things so happened to fa into place so Ruby can dig her sexy demon claws into him…fine, I can roll with that—what I’m stuck on is that if Sam didn’t die, Dean wouldn’t have gone to Hell cuz of the deal, so how was the first Seal gonna be broken if Sam had to break the final one? That’s gonna drive me crazy lol
Sam has gone through it as he’s been tugged so many different directions and all for the name of stopping the demon plague…all good, except for how he does it and how he lies to himself about it, he knew the demon psychic stuff was evil and where it came from, but continues to do it cuz “I gotta take this curse, and make something good of it, cuz I have to” and that leads to him versing with Dean on how he deals with trying to stop Lilith, but it’s more than that, I saw it at a young age and I saw it now…Sam wants to be in control like Chuck said, and in the end, he was…till it went horribly wrong—-I don’t blame Sam on how he felt all season, I get it, we all want to feel in control of our own lives and choices, but he kept making the wrong ones even when he was warned since season 2/Ruby…I saw a few theories on her up here and I’m inclined to agree with the ones that said a plan was made to fool Sam into thinking Ruby and Lilith were against each other, but I have one of my own…Ruby 1 was killed that night Dean was, went to Hell and remade into Ruby 2 to be reprogrammed as the enemy by Alistair or Lilith…but that might be unlikely—so with that, she’s been subliminally injecting Sam with using his abilities from jump street, and got him addicted to drinking blood, so much so that he turned into a demon crackhead (I also wanna say that Gen wasn’t as bad as I remember her to be as Ruby, maybe it’s cuz I more emerged or what, she’s not Katie cuz she’s legit better but still, Gen did pretty decent especially the 2nd half of the season…until the speech lol)
Dean…he truly wasn’t all there this season, for good reason, he was in Hell, but more than that..I think he had an extra excuse to want to walk away from it all, he’s been tasked to stand with the Angels for Heavens plans, this edge adds to the fact his 40 years in Hell that he might not be worthy, yet he would’ve still reluctantly fought against it season 1-3 anyway cuz of his nature, but still..the edge helps, then going vs Sam hiding things (except Sam should be able to take phone calls cuz it’s not his business lol) Dean feeling all that guilt on killing souls after resisting torture is an interesting flip side of Sam saving people by using his demon powers and feeling great about it…that couldn’t have been a coincidence of how they were written this season
I noticed Bobby wasn’t in this season much as remembered, he still was a great help when needed of course
Cas being a presence to be reckoned with was something I forgot about, that’s a huge problem of his writing later on, either way he added more intrigue to the show along with the other angels being the ones who are just as programmed as the demons are, just with their so called missions and both sides have gods they serve or believe in, yet they do their own things anyway just cuz….hilarious but dark
I could go on forever but I’ll leave it here, you guys have better ways to phrase questions that I can cuz my mind runs a million times a minute on this stuff and I can’t say EVERYTHING in my head, otherwise it’ll take chapters of books…so many ideas, scenarios, what ifs, and constant questions I do with this show and other shows I get into…it’s a curse of curiosity and introspection, plus this is the only outlet I have to get most of my thoughts out, so forgive me if its a lot to read
Im reminded of how good this era was, I’m currently in season 5 already…love this show
just started watching supernatural because i liked jensen ackles’ performance in the boys, i just finished season 1, anything i should know?
I started watching supernatural back in college (8 years ago) and stopped watching around season 13 as I got too busy to keep up with it. I made it my mission to start it again and finish it as I wanted to know how it ended (and I missed the boys).
I finished it last night and I was sobbing!! I’ve read some posts about what people thought of the ending and honestly I can see all points, I don’t think it’s the greatest ending, I do agree episode 19 probably would have been best and yes the wig did make me feel something and it wasn’t nice. But I don’t think it’s the worst.
I just know that I’m experiencing that feeling again where you finish a series you’ve watched for so long, connected with the characters and loved the cast and now I feel empty😂
One of the biggest shocks for me though? The fact that I grew to love Ketch, I cannot get over this! The British Men of Letters storyline is what made me go off it a bit because I hated it, and I hated him, but I was actually quite sad when he died.
Sorry for the long post, it’s been a long while since I’ve been in this group as I left back when I stopped watching to avoid any spoilers, knowing one day I’d want to get back into it again🤍
I’m about to start season 5 again on my rewatch journey and it’s even better than I remember, I haven’t seen the show till season 10 in 8 years and I was a teen then, I’m in my 20s now and dang…what a heavy season
I’m gonna start with saying this season in particular is part of what made me question my faith in religion, I grew up Christian cuz my mom put me in church and the choir cuz I could sing, from age 6-18 I went cuz I felt obligated to be there and not cuz I wanted to…I won’t lie, I had great times there and I made quite few friends and even fell in love with a couple girls I had interest in and vice versa, I even got to sing lead even tho I was reserved but I got heard and it put me in the spotlight—-anyway, around 16 I found Supernatural on TNT and I got hooked..enough that I started skipping school…(shhh, I paid for that the following school year lol) but when I got to season 4, somehow my faith crisis got even more intense, I saw the show as in a way answering my questions of things not being what church presented, it was mostly through Dean that I related to in that regard and I felt how he did “if god exists, why doesn’t he do something about the terrible things?” Then Castiel the Angel of the lord starts doubting…an Angel doubting himself…just wow…to a 16 year old that was a big deal—-at 18 I quit the church and religion altogether and it took over 4 years to tell my mom about it cuz she loves being passive about me not being a believer…all this to say that this show, helped to change my view on free will and lack thereof, religion being weird in some ways and choices to make against the grain even if it means being looked at weird…
This is already too long, so I’ll make a part 2
As above! What are your thoughts?
You don’t take a joint from a guy named Don. What does that mean? Is that a reference? I’m not getting. Season eight episode one
I started watching Supernatural the night it aired but I’ve never done a full Netflix rewatch of the show, the first season I watched at least a hundred times on dvd and would routinely rewatch episodes the first few seasons. I just can’t bring myself to watch it, mainly because it dragged on for so long and I’m still unhappy with the ending & I wasn’t a huge fan of the last 3 seasons at all.
There were seasons (I’m guessing around 8-10 ish) where it felt like a chore to watch and I’ve forgotten so much from the later seasons, I was contemplating quitting until Baby aired, that episode sort of brought me back at the time. I could probably rewatch and not remember half of the plot lines at this point.
The Destiel shippers kind of ruined the meaning of the show for me as well. I was the kind of fan that watched every convention thanks to lovely people on YouTube from like 2008-on. I can’t even watch them anymore. I miss this fandom but Im definitely not in it anymore, which makes me sad because I was in it for so long (literally half my life at the time it ended, ages 14/15-29/30.)
Illustration for a fanfic (actually two) on supernatural, where 24-year-old (before the events of the series) Dean is mortally wounded in the woods alone, and reflects on life and death from a philosophical point of view. In the bearded times, when I was a teenager, I was incredibly excited by the theme of hurt/comfort in the SPN universe. Now I return to these works as if they were home.
He just lay and looked at the leaves. How they break away from the branches, from their homes, how they part with their families and fall down... fall... fall... fall... Like him... Fell... Failed... Made a mistake... Bungled, screwed up, what the hell difference does it make now! He was rotting here... emanating a dark red rust, spreading in a large dark circle around his wounded body, slowly absorbed into the ground... like a leaf torn from its tree and carried away by the wind.

Does anyone else feel like John is sorta sending the boys to investigations to let them learn lessons he learned over his time? it's like the cases he sends them on prep them to fight demons slowly through learning various skills.
Most people would probably say Lucifer, but I don’t think he’s even close to being the most evil, he’s not even the most evil archangel/angel. I’d definitely say it has to be Asmodeus, Lilith, Dick Roman, or Abaddon. Lucifer honestly ends up in the middle of the pack in terms of evil for me.
Everything Dean does, his detrimental self-sacrificial nature, his self worth, all of it comes back to the fact that he does not think he is a real person. And why would he? He was born to be Michael’s weapon, raised to be a soldier by John while filling the roles of mother, father and brother for Sam from the age of four. It wasn’t just John though, no one really treated him like a person for a long time.
Then he’s a full fledged hunter and makes that his whole identity. Then he’s sent to hell, then purgatory, and so forth. And every trip away from his family harshly reminds that he is inhuman, that he only feels right and pure when he’s fighting for his life, when he’s torturing and killing. And who feels that way but a monster? Not to mention, in his mind everything is his fault, he’s responsible for everyone he loves and if something happens to them, it’s on Dean. Again, only a monster curses everyone they meet.
There’s a reason Dean jumps at every opportunity to be anyone other than himself. From fake identities to time travel, if Dean doesn’t have to be Dean, he’s happy for just a bit.
Truly ironic that he has such a strong soul/ unbreakable humanity that everyone but him can see it
Not going to get all political or poetic here, all I came here to say is that I dont know about any others of you but I genuinely like "filler like" episodes better than the "serious story" episodes in Supernatural. Just finished watching S8E11 and it was much more enjoyable than the nonsentical main plot of the show.
(P.S. after reading some comments - I do not mind spoilers, but if you do share same, I do implore on putting them in those fancy spoiler bars as I have no clue on the rules of this sub-reddit and would like to not get banned on another sub-reddit...)
Idk if this is a original take but I'm my opinion empty would have been a better villain than chuck.
Hear my out empty is a complete mystery to us we just know he's old and ultra powerful shown when he flooded heaven. We don't know his origins his relation to chuck or the darkness or even the limits of his power. He would have been awesome get some more lore on this guy and I don't think it would be hard to just switch the character to the empty
As shown he can shape-shift and they have been tricked by his and other shapeshifters before would have been a crazy turn to watch after sam shot him. He reverted back to or black goo form. As we known he gets pretty angry when he is awaken even chuck can't pull ppl out the empty (which werid because cass has been revived and lucy) but he had been angry asf bekuz jack was a being that could bring people back and always fuck with his sleep so used chucks face to gain there trust then when they found out empty kills jack.
While getting a back story for a cool ass concept of a character ,we get a more complicated villain who order was being threat by idoits in flanel. Then chuck and the darkness shown up in his domain tried talking him outta nuking everything but he captures them bekuz in his realm he all powerful but b4 getting seal chuck revive jack,now there on a quest to save the omni verse and chuck and the darkness from the empty.
Lmk what yall think am I tweaking and if so who would u rather have taken that final villain spot
Using the info that we have in the series, what would be a piece of lore/magical object/creature/weapon/anything that could've been useful to deal with a problem that Sam, Dean and Cass didn't think about?
It can be anything, be it dealing with an apocalypse in a more efficient way or just killing a monster of the week. Any moment that made you think: "why didn't they do _____, are they stupid?"
Not sure if anyone asked this before or if it’s a stupid question, but was Eileen born deaf or did she become deaf after the banshee killed her parents and screamed in her face?
I just can't get myself to care about Sam lmao, like I know that he's not as horrible character and some people's eyes but like he betrayed Dean like at least 10 plus times and like each time Dean wanted family so bad that he took them back but like personally the first time or second time Sam betrayed me I would have dropped him at the drop of a hat, that's just me. Like Dean had his moments too but Sam constantly just disregarded Dean and forgot about him especially in purgatory and such and like choosing Ruby every time and Dean just kept on forgiving him or like saying they weren't Brothers and stuff like that it's just like I wish Dean got so much better than what he got.
Edit: I understand that obviously, it's about brotherhood and such and I know that loyalty isn't dropping someone after mistakes and yada yada ,I've watched the entire show multiple times , but I was more so speaking about how he died the final time and such. yeah obviously Dean fucked up too I never said he was innocent, and I wouldn't change the show at all (minus some plot stuff) but I just wished we could have had Dean live a somewhat happy life like Sam did
(Reminder this is an opinion :D love all the defensive people tho lmao)
