Looking Back at Supernatural Season Nine: Rank The Episodes in Five Minutes

ByAlice Jester

It’s that time of year again!  As part of our annual season end celebration, we kick it all off with our look back at the 23 episode season we were just given and put ourselves through a grueling and painful exercise because it’s supposed to be fun.  Yes, time to rank the episodes in five minutes!

This one was very tough for me this year.  As you all may know, I had a lot of problems with season nine and honestly, I didn’t even remember what happened during most of the episodes.  That was a first for me.  So, I went to our Season Nine Episode Guide, read through all the episode titles and synopsis’ and then did my rankings.  Even after that, I went about ten or twenty seconds over the five minutes.  My first and last were super easy, it got tougher from there. 

The rules are simple, here’s the list of the 23 season nine episodes in order.  You need to rank them in your opinion from best to worst in five minutes.  Keep the season nine guide up as a reference while you do this.  The object is to get your initial reactions, so no edits or changing your mind is permitted once the list is done.  After you’re done, if you want to share your reasons for why you ranked the episodes the way you did, feel free!  That is not part of the five minute exercise so take your time with that.  If it turns out your list takes longer than five minutes, share it anyway, it’s not like any of us will really know!  Just don’t change your mind once a list is done.  Otherwise the list knows and you’ll hurt it’s feelings.   

Here are the season nine episodes:

I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here
Devil May Care
I’m No Angel
Slumber Party
Dog Dean Afternoon
Heaven Can’t Wait
Bad Boys
Rock and a Hard Place
Holy Terror

The Purge
Captives
#THINMAN
Blade Runners
Mother’s Little Helper
Meta Fiction

Here is my ranking.  Yes, as the author of the article I always get to go first!

Supernatural Season 9 wisely begins where Season 8 ends: both in timeline and in emotional impact. It is immediately after “Sacrifice,” and all the speculation and questions can finally be answered in “I Think I’m Going to Like It Here.” We have two story lines making their trajectory across the screen, briefly meeting before becoming…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.01 – “I Think I’m Gonna Like it Here”

ByAlice Jester

Before I get started, I should give a disclaimer.  I hated season nine.  Granted I watched most of the episodes only once, and it’s been a while since I’ve revisited, but this was the season that really started my discontent with Supernatural.  In going back and reviewing the multiple number of episodes I didn’t review…
