Top Ten Unsung Heroes, #1-5
Dean: Hey, have you heard from Sam?
(beat) Well, I say screw that. What else is family for? He’s in Lafayette, Indiana.
Dean: Hey, have you heard from Sam?
4. Losing My Religion I found myself spell-bound by the Season 2 episode “Houses of the Holy.” Here were these two young, hardened, (gorgeous) male hunters, openly and fairly discussing issues of spirituality. And it didn’t feel like some show using its characters for its own agenda. It was just Sam and Dean, responding like…
#6 – Dean’s Death Montage ““ “Mystery Spot” This is a prime example of why Supernatural is so great. Death can be funny. The genius behind this show tapped into comedic gold just by killing off one of the two leads again, and again, and again. They just had to do so with all sorts of cartoonish ways. Then, they even…
Ardeospina’s #2: “The Man Who Would Be King” Why: if you don’t already know, I have a soft spot for Castiel. And by “soft spot,” I mean I love the holy tax accountant. I do my best to not play favorites when I’m writing a review or some other article, but this list…
1. Andy Gallagher! Claim to geekdom: Between monster bong loads and bouts of the munchies, this free spirit likes to peruse the heavy philosophical tomes of Kant, Wittgenstein, and the notoriously difficult Hegel. His, um, mobile home is decorated with a wonderfully tacky tiger painting, hippie beads and a disco ball. There’s also a barbarian queen painted on the…
This week I’m counting down Supernatural’s Favorite Episodes, Number 80 to Number 71! I won’t re-hash all the details about this epic project (which were described in “The Road So Far” introduction), but I’ll just quickly remind you that this list of Favorite Episodes is based on the rankings submitted to me from several participants, including admins…
#44 TIE“The Man Who Would Be King” (6.20) Castiel is working with Crowley to open the doors to Purgatory, and he is struggling with that choice. As he struggles, he reveals details of his backstory. Meanwhile, Sam and Bobby believe Cas is somehow working against them, but Dean isn’t convinced. Gail: “I can’t begin to…
thank you for all these wonderful articles it’s helped me get thru this silly season. still counting down. :roll::
Good list ( What, no Ash? For shame… )
I wouldn’t have called the Splendidly Heroic Fixer Genius that is Bobby exactly unsung though … The one thing the endlessly squabbling hoards of nit-picking malcontents that make up the SPN fandom do actually manage to agree on is that Mr. Singer is a bloody good egg! ( Next poster will no doubt point out a shedload of sites dedicated to slagging him off … 😆 )
Hiya, nice top5. I agree, these guys are quite the heroes 🙂 I was kinda wondering if you were gonna but the Impala in here… but I still like your choices.
Thanks for this, it was a great read 🙂
Awesome as ever, Alice,
I love looking at these characters, past and present (or past and finally soon to be present) and remembering all they brought. Great job pulling out aspects of their personalities and tieing it in with the dialogue.
I’m with the others in agreeing that this site, these articles, all the posts back and forth have made this hellatus fly by. Imagine starting out with 17 weeks (which we didn’t even know at the time it would be 17 weeks) and now we’re down to 17 days…whee, I have toes leftover after I count!
Thanks for this wonderful list. Agree wholeheartedly. Expecially about the awesome Bobby. How I do love that guy. (And also fear greatly at times that the PTB’s will want to kill him off. Please nonononono not ever!)
There has been one site that dislikes him a lot and complains that he overshadows the brothers when they should be solving their own problems. Also complaining that he takes time away from them. I guess they would be happy for Dean and Sam to be the only people in the show and on camera 100% of the time. LOL! Poor J’s! They would be comatose by now.
I just love the fact that Dean has this great friend who is more fatherly towards him than John ever was since he was 4 years old. You can really see how very much Bobby loves him. Great acting by Jim!
This site has certainly helped us through the hellatus and we are very grateful to you Alice, and Elle2 for all your efforts. Many thanks to both of you for this friendly place we fans can visit.
I was betting in “uncle” Bobby to number one on this, and I was right!
Great as usually Alice 😀
And only 17 days to go…
😯 Cheers Bevie, I feel reassuringly bitter and twisted now … Still, we know how fab he is so stuff ’em all!
I love these lists! Hellatus has just disappeared in the blink of an eye with these fun top-tens. Thanks for the goodies Alice.
Don’t feel bad about technical difficulties – On Sunday morning my neighbourhood was without power for about 6 hours because a squirrel walked over a power line – viruses and power outages; these things happen.
Looking forward to the Winchesterisms!
Alice, isn’t it kind of sad that out of the 10 unsung heroes, seven of them are dead? Missouri Mosely and Chuck (God) are still alive, and Bobby did die, but he was bought back. Let us not forget that Anna turned out to be a backstabbing female dog.
