This Week In Supernatural History – Week 16
This Week in Supernatural History – Episode Sixteen
RIP, Rufus.
RIP, Rufus.
Yikes! I don’t think I’ve seen a scarier horror story in all my life. Supernatural takes on Corporate America. Those tricky angels put both Dean and Sam in a situation so horrific, so vile, that hunting looks good. I could see Sera Gamble, this week’s writer, pitching the idea. “Oh, I got it, put them in an office!” Even the head…
Hello and welcome to Romance, Bromance and Reflections! Today we will be looking at that frequently tossed about phrase “soulmate” and just what exactly it means in the Supernatural world these days. The impetus for today’s discussion really began brewing way back when in Goodbye Stranger – Amelia was referenced as Sam’s unicorn and it…
Here it is, episode night! It’s also a mytharc episode, so bring on the apocalypse. It’s been a while. I’ve already seen this episode, (albeit on a rough cut with no visual effects) so I’m taking bets you’ll like it. Or love it. Or will find its “jaw hits the floor awesome.” Oh heck, someone…
ElenaM’s comment that she’ll sometimes watch a “Long Arm of the Law” marathon made me think about other themes for grouping episodes. So, starting with ElenaM’s suggestion, here are some more. And with over 90 episodes to pick from, there must be plenty of others, so suggestions please? There’s still two weeks of Hellatus for us to…
Warning!!!! If you haven’t seen the latest episode of “Supernatural,” do not read this! There is going to be plot-based speculation about Sam’s actions and possible motivations behind them. You’ve been officially warned! Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
The Morning After Welcome back to Supernatural Threads! After a three week mid-season hiatus, Sam and Dean are once again Saving People and Hunting Things. In this week’s hunt, they were joined by two amateurs, or to be more generous, hunters in training, Mick and Claire. Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
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. 😥
