Top Dean Winchester Gruesome Injuries
I did one for Sam so naturally, I’ve got to look at Dean too! After all, Sam isn’t the only Winchester that has taken some pretty hard licks in eight seasons. Dean has seen quite a few gruesome injuries himself, and it’s time to fondly remember (and wince) at all those priceless times when life kicked him in the daddy pills and didn’t look back. Hint, it involves a lot of beatings.
In compiling a list of injuries, I went for the stuff that caused the most physical anguish for the elder Winchester. This list doesn’t look at curses, illnesses, hallucinations, etc. This is just the plain physical injuries, and the agony that comes with them (yes, it’s kind of sick how we hang on those).
Here are the more memorable injuries for Dean, in no particular order.
Sam: Don’t talk like that, alright? We still have options.
Dean: What options? Yeah, burial or cremation.
Shot in the shoulder while a sitting duck in a jail cell – “Jus in Bello”
Good thing Nancy the jail secretary was there to patch the wound, because Sam’s nursing skills suck.
This one still makes me bust out in tears every time I see it. Wibble….
Cerebral edema from car crash – “In My Time of Dying”
The hottest looking disembodied spirit on the planet.
Beaten beyond recognition by Samifer – “Swan Song”
One of the scariest times ever on “Supernatural.” I just kept screaming, “You’re destroying the pretty! NOOOOOOO!!!!” Thank Chuck for healing angels.
Beaten beyond recognition by Castiel – “Goodbye Stranger”
Hmm, this scene seems strangely familiar…
Beaten and choked into a coma by Alastair – “On The Head of A Pin”
If only Sam had arrived ten minutes earlier. But then, we wouldn’t have gotten this!
Beaten unconscious by the nerd angel – “Point of No Return”
Great job Dean. Provoke that all powerful being that’s a little pissed at you right now.
Shot, left for dead in the water, and later has Sam’s thumb pressed into the wound for more agony while being beaten – “Born Under A Bad Sign”
That just wasn’t Dean’s day, was it?
Beaten and nearly choked to death by Sam – “When The Levee Breaks”
This could just be me, but do you think Dean has an issue with people wanting to beat the crap out of him all the time? He sure takes a lot of vicious beatings.
Broken leg (“Hello Cruel World,” “The Girl Next Door”)
Yes, this one defies all medical logic when he cuts off his cast three weeks after suffering a compound fracture without the help of a healing angel and doesn’t even show a limp or any kind of pain. But it was fun to watch before that. (*cough* hospital gown *cough*)
Shot in the back by an angry soap opera husband – “Changing Channels”
That was a very hard way of finding out the pretend soap world caused real injuries. Good thing Sam could fake his way through performing surgery. Yes, that is as weird as it sounds.
Dislocated Shoulder – “I Know What You Did Last Summer”
On the count of three. One…CRACK!
Still hurts!
Shot to death – “Dark Side of The Moon”
I said it about Sam, I’ll say it about Dean. The prettiest corpse on the planet.
Smacked around by supermodels – “Tall Tales”
Fine, this was more like a dream come true.
Tossed like a rag doll several feet into a car window by a Golem
“Oww, my spleen.”
Knocked out and almost eaten by a Rugaru – “Metamorphosis”
Sorry, but this one was just plain gross, especially when Jack helped himself to the growing puddle of Dean’s blood.
Finally, I’d be VERY remiss if I didn’t go through all of Dean’s spectacular “Mystery Spot” deaths
Death by shooting
Death by being hit by car
Death by falling desk
Death by choking
Death by shower mishap
Death by taco
Death by electrocution
Death by accidental axing from brother
Death by mauling from a cute yet highly agitated golden retriever
Death by homicide (which stuck because it was Wednesday)
I know Sammy, I cried too
That’s all I have! Any Dean injuries you’re particularly fond of?
And yet, not a scar to be seen! On either one of them. 😕 😆
Yep, ripped to shreds by hellhounds and moments later hanging by meat hooks in hell, yelling for his brother. Double whammy and ouch!! 😥
One that hurt me as well as Dean, in his body and hurt that his Sammy would actually do it, was when Sam shot him point blank with rock salt, and then pulled the trigger 4 times aimed at his head with his own gun.
That was ‘Asylum’.
Don’t know what hurt Dean more. The rocksalt or Sam’s scathing words. I believe the words.
Perhaps that wasn’t included as Sam was being influenced by Ellicott’s spirit.
Dean’s words “You hate me that much?” ripped my heart out. 😥
I love Mystery Spot.
The deaths are really horrifying (especially to start with). The first one and the last one in particular 😥
It is really sad the damage it does to Sam emotionally and Dean physically.
Its foreshadowing of the events of the end of the season (and Season 4) is heartbreaking.
But….
The desk falling on Dean makes me laugh every time I see it. Every. Single. Time. :-*
Number 3 on the list after the meat hooks and the being shredded by hellhounds … well maybe 4 after being beaten up by Lucifer … has to be being roadhauled veeerrryy slowly (over the space of 48 hours). That’s a nasty way to die but its usually over quicker than that! Adding in fear of yorkies (with pink ribbons) is just adding insult to injury!

It is just faintly possible that this picture doesn’t do justice to the potential extent of Dean’s injuries … maybe.
You know they seemed to be saving on makeup costs – there are almost no photos of gruesomeness so here’s Dean looking traumatized by the whole thing instead:

Here is what the injury (could have) looked like:

(did that first link make you jump? I am calling that picture ‘Suddenly, Dean.’)
Dean really does have a knack for getting the snot kicked out of him, and yet he keeps on going.
There’s one more injury you need to add, that nasty poker burn in The Benders. Not to mention the threat to those lovely eyes…that one still makes me cringe.
Plus I’d add a separate injury for what Azazel did to him in the cabin before the car crash, that alone should have killed him!
You notice that as fierce as Dean is, he rarely gives the beatdowns that he receives. Somehow when peeps are beating on Dean, they just keep going. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t stay down, he keeps taunting them and fighting back even though any reasonable man would surrender to unconsciousness!
B.J.
Oh the benders episode, that had some of my favorite hurt Dean moments. Creepy with yuck on the side.
Hallelujah! Happy dance! You are totally, completely awesome Alice and hubby!
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I already posted a comment and don’t see it so I am trying again. Forgive me if I post two!
Alice. You’re AWESOME.
Yeah, you might notice a lag in comment posting. Just be patient. We had to turn on some caching because we are on a slower server (explanation coming soon). You might notice things lagging a bit, but we’re running, so that’s something! We still have some kinks to work out.
No problem at all!! Just so happy to see it up that I couldn’t contain my enthusiasm. Twice!
These battles with servers and hosters and whatnot that Alice has had to deal with (for months) has given me some much needed and sobering insight into the convoluted complexities that goes into keeping these sites up and running. I had no idea how much knowledge and skill goes into managing them. Alice bombing the ‘perpetrators’ through twitter is so gordian knottish, you have the strategies of Alexander the Great Alice (never underestimate a donkey on the edge… and especially the SPN fan kind). I will play my part and be the consummate poster. Patience you are my middle name. I was developing a serious case of gravel rash (lip dragging on floor because of sulking) when it dawned on me that I would have had nowhere to discuss and read peoples thoughts on season 9. Good luck with sorting things out Alice and if there is anything we as posters can help you with to make things easier let us know.

The first complete episode I saw was In My Time of Dying and I was thinking “WHAT happened to him to do that?!” Then I saw that gut wrenching masterpiece. I still watch that scene jaw clenched, squirming, from behind my fingers.
Enough sadness. Funniest? Paris Hilton bashing the boys MIGHT be better than Tall Tales but its a tough sell!
Always sending admiration fuzzies to Alice.
But gotta send honorable mention to kaz1 for gordian knot reference. That just pleased me somehow. Tickled my fancy, as it were…
Getting tossed by the Golem like he was a rag doll was pretty funny, as was his response – Ow… my spleen 🙂
