With the boys technically being Bobby’s next of kin, they head to the house in search of answers, and instead encounter a magnificent cast of characters. This is essentially Supernatural‘s version of Clue as the Winchesters discover a voicemail on Bobby’s phone leading them to a supposed inheritance. Notable quote: “ Too many things are things.” -Sam Season 10 Also in the episode is James Kirk, who played a young Ben in Dark Angel, while Jensen Ackles played the adult version of Ben (As well as his twin brother Alec). In this episode, Lindy Booth ( Cry Wolf) plays Bonnie, who the boys encounter while aiding Jody Mills in a hunt at a Church chastity group. This is the second entry on this list that features a guest star who’d previously worked with Jared Padalecki in a horror film - the first being Paris Hilton from House of Wax.
Notable quote: “I’ve almost cracked him.” -Castiel Season 9 But even with that in mind, give it a shot. However, if you hate cartoon-like violence and excessive use of zany sound effects, it might not be for you. It’s one of the episodes you can just put on, turn off your brain, and enjoy. And his first hunt is this wacky episode featuring death by cartoon gags. But he chooses to cut himself off from heaven before trying his hand at hunting, of all things. Notable quote: “If you dig down deep, it’s all Dick.” -Frank Devereaux Season 8Ĭastiel wants to hunt! It’s very endearing that he’s trying to be like the Winchesters, because he could just as easily flit off anywhere and leave them in the dust. Also, watching two grown men try to tackle a little girl in ballet slippers is unintentionally hilarious, but maybe that’s just me.
The episode’s premise isn’t incredibly complex, but cursed objects are always an interesting plot device - because they could be literally anything. Sam and Dean work to track down some cursed objects, while also dealing with the Leviathans. Notable quote: “Newsflash wizard, vampires pee too.” -Dean Season 7
I still remember the sinking feeling in my gut while watching live and seeing that slow, detached smile. The Winchesters track down a vampire preying on young female fans of an indeterminate yet obvious nod to Twilight, titled “My Summer of Blood.” Dean gets bitten, and it’s then that we learn Sam is very much not okay.
This originally aired during peak vampire-mania everything was becoming Twilight, up to and including Supernatural. Notable quote: “Four score and seven years ago, I had a funny hat.” -Dean Season 6 This episode has the added benefit of being a nice little bit of fluff following the heavier four that preceded it. Fighting a god masquerading as famous dead icons - and the still very alive Paris Hilton - is something only this show can pull off.
Paris Hilton guest starring isn’t something I ever would’ve considered in a series like Supernatural, yet it works. Notable quote: “It doesn’t matter what you are, it only matters what you do. And it’s also apparently the first episode where Castiel is called “Cas,” so that’s neat.
It details more of the conflict of how to handle something not quite human, yet not quite monster. In “Metamorphosis,” the boys are trying desperately to stop a suburban dad from transforming fully into a rugaru. It introduces angels into the mix, and Sam and Dean are pitted against each other for a majority of it. Notable quote: “Do you want a poem?” -Sam Season 4 Admittedly though, I’m a little biased in this pick, because I appreciate that Sam got to take down the monster-of-the-week for once. It’s an emotional ride, showcasing a strong performance from Jensen Ackles as Dean, struggling with his own phone call from their father. However, it still features some top tier episodes, including fan favorites “A Very Supernatural Christmas,” “Bad Day At Black Rock,” and “Mystery Spot.” But one episode that’s often overlooked is “Long Distance Call,” with the boys hunting something pretending to be the deceased loved ones of its intended victims. The writer’s strike resulted in a shortened season for us viewers. Notable quote: “What’s dead should stay dead.” -Dean Season 3 Dean carried the weight of the secret whispered to him by his father: would he need to kill his own brother? And though this episode might not progress the larger plot forward, it shows how morality can be twisted when a loved one is killed - something the Winchester boys deal with at length in later seasons. death, beginning with John Winchester’s sacrifice to save a dying Dean, and continuing throughout with the question of what exactly was happening to Sam.
