So in s15 when God abandons Earth for awhile, Sam and Dean lose their powers? Luck? Are they superhumans because they are the protagonists of God's story? What about their will, their training? Why can t they pick a lock? This frustrates me more thn i m wanting to accept. In the next episode, God calls them "the real ones". What s up? Was S15E11 just a really bad episode (poorly written, you can see the fake claws of the beaten werewolf, you can see 2 dudes driving Dean's car - one of them with a wig -)?

​

If they are indeed powerful because of God, does that mean that Jody, Bobby and the other hunters are MORE POWERFUL and SKILLED thn Sam and Dean? This bugs me. I feel like they killed the show with this episode.

In season 6 episode 9 a leprechaun says to sam he can get return his soul to him. How is that possible when even most angels cannot do that. Are fairies arguably stronger than the devil?

when dean was a powerful demon and also had the strength from mark of cane was dean stronger than any demon or angel?

also i think dean was affected and became someones husband or something

Has anyone noticed the amount of std references that are thrown at Jared in season four and five? Rewatching and noticed.

Decided to start from the beginning as I’m still in denial that the series that I started whilst heavily pregnant with my daughter is coming to an end and is it me or did the episodes used to be a lot scarier?!

At season 2 episode 4 and several times in the series the two brothers have mentioned that this is their job but they arent really getting paid, this is more of a hobby or at best an internship

So I binged the first 8 seasons while deployed, then came back and watched seasons 9 and 10 (and maybe 11?) ... and I didn't have any motivation to continue. I will admit, I didn't hate the leviathans the way everyone else did (although they were pretty under-used for the power levels they had), but my biggest problem was how every season just felt like another tacked-on storyline to get more money and keep in business. I'm a big fan of multi-season story arcs (well-written ones, anyway, like Babylon 5, Banshee, or The Expanse), but after Kripke, Supernatural lost that.

And what's more, the show suffered in the same way as other unexpectedly successful series. My best example of this is the Anita Blake series of books by Laurel Hamilton. If you read that series a second time, you'll be put out by just how many times the BBEG is "the biggest, baddest, most evil and powerful villain ever". Every book, Hamilton makes it sound like the villain is going to be the bringer of end times, and every time, Blake just goes meh and works her way through it. Supernatural really felt like it had that problem after Kripke. An angel was the bad guy. Then primordial / nigh-immortal shapechangers. Then the voice of god. Then the literal mark of Cain, followed by God's sister? So, the two brothers have to compete with omnipotence? Where do you go from there that still feels challenging without also coming across as completely ridiculous?

A hero is only as good as his villains, and if the show-runners had a real multi-season plan (at least for the time I was watching), it wouldn't have jumped the shark as bad as it did. I see people say "watch for the individual episodes, and not the season-long stories", but they list their favorite episodes and don't even mention season 12 (as an example). And I'd rather watch a good show than suffer through 8-9 meh episodes to reach one that hit it out of the park. I kind of feel as though I should just enjoy the show for what it was when I first watched it and find something else to entertain me. Am I wrong?

If you comment, I'd appreciate it if you avoid specific spoilers. I've already seen enough to know they bring back deaders and that Chuck eventually becomes the antagonist, but I don't know crap about details except Michael comes back and there's an antichrist named Jack or something?

(I also accept that asking this sub's opinion is like going to Subway and asking if I should get a sandwich or a pizza, but objectivity will be more useful to me than loyalty.)

I’ve been rewatching the show with my wife since its their final season and she wanted to catch up and i came across, well someone saying that there are only 4 creatures in creation that the Colt couldn’t kill.. was wondering if they ever mentioned those 4 things. Any die hard fans know?

Edit: it was Lucifer who said it and it was 5 instead of 4 creatures in creation that the Colt couldn’t kill
