This Week in Supernatural History 22
2006:
“I’m surprised at you, Sammy. Why didn’t you kill it? I thought we saw eye to eye on this — killing this demon comes first, before me, before everything.” – “No sir. Not before everything.”
2007:
“Check that off the to-do list…That was for our mom, you son of a bitch.”
2008:
(writer’s strike = short season – the boys agree: it sucks – just look at those expressions.)
2009:
“He’s coming….”
2010:
“So what’s it all add up to? It’s hard to say. But me, I’d say this was a test… for Sam and Dean. And I think they did all right. Up against, Good, Evil, angels, devils, Destiny, and God himself, they made their own choice. They chose family. And, well… isn’t that kinda the whole point? No doubt – endings are hard. But then again… nothing ever really ends, does it?”
2011:
“[B]ow down and profess your love to me, your lord, or I shall destroy you.”

Well, that’s a wrap folks! I hope you’ve enjoyed the walk down memory lane over the year (hard to believe the season has come and gone already isn’t it?). Obviously, to do this again next year, recounting all the seasons in this fashion could get a bit redundant, however if anyone has suggests/requests for a similar-but-different series next season, leave them below.
Happy Hellatus 2012!
I just want to commend you, Elle, on your[i][b] excellent[/b][/i] choice of pictures displayed in year 2008 . . . almost makes the writer’s strike worth it!
(What a way to kick start my morning!) 😛
Thank you. I had a request for some yum pics in the 2008 slot and I’m nothing if not accommodating….especially when it comes to shirtless Winchesters 😉
Thanks for a great season of recaps Elle. I’m of the same mind as Suzee51, those gratuitous pictures (and by that I mean extremely gorgeous) of the boys during the writer’s strike makes it worth having lived through it (almost). Which reminds me, check out Joe Manganiello in this week’s [i]Entertainment Weekly[/i]. Just WOW. No wonder he was chosen as Alcide.
Hi Sylvie,
Thanks!
I have seen the Joe Manganiello pics in EW. Delish, as they say. Though of the two, I’m partial to Matt Bomer – it’s those stunning blue eyes, dapper charm and delightful singing voice – plus, I love a man who can wear a fedora the way Neal Caffrey does……
Sorry, I drifted into fantasy land there.
They have certainly left us on some gutpunching cliffhanging finales, haven’t they?
By the time a year has gone by, it’s nice to take a trip down memory lane. It’s always good to see how far we’ve come. I vote for these again next year.
Hi Mickey:
No doubt about it – there have been nail-biter endings and this year was no exception.
Glad you’ve enjoyed the series – I am working out something for next season that is similar-but-different, so thanks for the vote!
Nice job Elle.
Supernatural season finales = get the tissues.
Re season three pics: Dean looks WTF, but Sam looks a little bland (slaps self in head SOULLESS). 😆
Maybe for next season, doing a series of clues from past seasons that came to be clearer in later seasons. That made no sense. 😮 For example: when Mary tells Sam in ‘Home’ that she was sorry and we find out what that meant in ‘In the Beginning’. got it? it made more sense in my head. 😛
Or maybe doing a series of firsts, like the first time we get ‘bitch/jerk’, or Dean says ‘SOB’, or we get Impala porn (poor Baby, Dean is in Purgatory, Bobby is gone, who is going to fix her? Sam? 😆
Elle, there is no such thing, as a HAPPY hellatus. That is an oxymoron. Kinda like Soulless Sam 😆
Thanks nancyL!
Some great ideas for next year. I’ve been tossing a view around myself – I will add yours to the list and see what I can come up with over the next (long) weeks without SPN.
Sorry it took so long to comment, but I got stuck on the S3 shot. Now THAT would make a great poster, or sculpture!! ummmm, Oh yeah, ideas for articles, how about best quotes. The writers always give us some gold now matter what the epi, or the season is about. Can hardly wait for the DVD’s. Wish they would put them out earlier
I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY THEY WAIT UNTIL RIGHT BEFORE THE NEW SEASON STARTS TO SELL THE DVDs.
WOULD NOT WE ENJOY HAVING DVD QUALITY OVER THE HIATUS? SOMEONE EXPLAIN PLEASE.
ELLE DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE END OF NEXT SEASON FOR 2012 TO BE ADDED?
LOVE THEM ALL BUT MY FAVORITE IS 2010. TEARING UP JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. THANKS
They wait until just before the new season because they show reruns up until then… They would prefer that people watch on the network and the network can still get some ad revenue.
However, if you want to see them sooner why not get a subscription on Amazon, Hulu or Netflix? That way you can watch them now on your computer. Amazon has individual episodes as well as all of Season 7 available for download.
