This Week In Supernatural History – Week 16
This Week in Supernatural History – Episode Sixteen
RIP, Rufus.
RIP, Rufus.
I’ve picked my four favorite sets, one for each season, and present them below. There’s not much more to this article than that, other than for you to give a quick perusal and then offer your suggestions. Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
Significant Mothers of Supernatural, Part One: One-Hit Wonders We survived again! Officially less than one week to go in this long, long hiatus. My goal during Hellatus was to contribute more than the one measly piece I did, but that clearly didn’t happen. The one thing everyone knows about me (and my family) is…
The Week in Supernatural History – Episode Eleven Well, episode eleven of season seven was kind of a letdown, let’s see how it measures up against previous episode elevens: 2006: Pretty blondes who are overly friendly – just say no. Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave

This week’s episode, “Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets,” was written by Steve Yockey and centers on an unknown, until now, angel mission in Castiel’s story. The so far credits review Castiel’s early story on the show and the current nephilim story, which gives us a heads up to the episode’s theme. Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
“The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements, The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds.” — Joseph Addison In this article I will focus on two immortal things, both of…
1.16 – Oh, John.
2.16 – Oh, strange ghost whose name I can’t remember. Molly! Oh, Molly.
3.16 – Oh, Dean.
4.16 – Oh, Dean.
5.16 – Oh, Dean (I’m sensing a common theme here)
6.16 – Oh, Rufus.
Wow, all the 16’s have been real tearjerkers and, for the most part, full of loss. John gone again, Dean gone, Dean’s faith gone, Dean’s hope gone, Rufus gone. Even the way Molly went out left me with a bit of a pang.
Best out of that bunch, ummmmm ‘On the Head of a Pin’. Yeah, it was great to see John (and the ensuing hugs) in 1.16 and the brutality of Dean’s death in 3.16 (obviously that wasn’t ‘great’ but you know what I mean). I wasn’t overly keen on 5.16 but I liked 6.16. 4.16 though, that episode was a shocker from start to finish.
Thanks Elle.
Ahh…Shadow. My all time favourite episode of Supernatural. Daddy Winchester! Meg! So much angst! The boys’ reunion with their dad and then the all too soon parting ripped my heart to shreds. When John hugged Dean I was silently yelling HUG SAM! HUG SAMMY TOO!!! at my telly. And then he did. And Sam was all teary, Dean was all teary, John was all teary and I was just a teary, happy mess. 😆 And then John left and I was an unhappy teary mess. Sam unwilling to let his dad go, then him staring after his dad’s truck, Dean so quiet, resigned and sad…ack…my poor broken heart. Ahem, I’ll shut up now. In short, I love every single second of this episode.
2.16 – Haven’t re-watchd this in ages but I remember liking this episode a lot.
3.16 – Oh God. This episode was painful. I loved it but, oh, it hurt so much. Sam’s tears. Dean’s demise. ‘Remember what Dad taught you….remember what I taught you’. ‘Bon Jovi rocks…on occasion’. Fabulous. In an agonizingly painful way.
4.16 – I wasn’t so fussed on 4.16 ( not a fan of the angels/angel storylines) although my heart ached for Dean and I loved Sam’s ‘Miracle! NOW!’
5.16 – I didn’t like this episode.
6.16 – I enjoyed this one a lot although I wish they hadn’t killed off Rufus. 🙁
Thanks Elle.
Elle, does episode 16 mean ‘grab the tissues’?
Damn, we lost Dean, the amulet, and Rufus. 🙁
I didn’t like ‘Roadkill’.
Anyway, that brings us to the end of season three.
Damn.
Shadow: Loved it. Meg was awesome as a big bad, and exceptionally good in this one. Loved the daeva’s — that’s the name, isn’t it?
No Rest for the Wicked: They did it! They actually Dean to Hell, but not before the boys sang Dead or Alive. Awesome. The whole fandom was abuzz all summer.
I loved Roadkill, and I really liked the actress who played Molly. It was the beginning of Dean learning the difference between hunting every monster and hunting evil. And, I like DickDean. Remember, they played Bad Moon Rising in this one, too.
On the Head of a Pin: Powerful, powerful episode.
Dark Side of the Moon: Right at the top of my list.
Death’s Door: RIP Rufus. I’m still ticked off about killing Rufus off. I loved that character. (Yes, I hold grudges.) Not enough Winchesters, but a good episode.
Out with the Old: Doesn’t even begin to compare, IMO.
Hi Elle
Wow! I loved all these episodes.
They all tugged at my heart at some point or another. 😥
