I was genuinely confused and scared. You look like my little brother Sam. Even the way he walks. Seriously much love to this show. I'm watching this while rewatching Supernatural right now.

@jpt00711 Год назад

I remember when we 1st saw Castiel. It was epic. In the later seasons Angels became weaker than even Vampires in some instances. Season 1-5 were by far the best

@blindswordofspoken8075 Год назад

Thank you for speaking about that ! Man I thought I was the only one ? Like angels were sometimes getting beaten by humans . I’m like come on ?! Like Castiel supposed to be like Superman but instead they made him get beat easily

@zuko8014 Год назад

YES!!! I never understood this, like they did my boy Cas bad bro and after his big entrance no less.

@JohnRidley12 7 месяцев назад

Castiel's intro was the best moment in the show. Problem was, he was too interesting a character to have be in the background and to powerful for 99% of plots. They did try and explain how they nerfed him (and other angels) sometimes. But often just kinda forgot. But, in fairness, it's almost impossible to have a character that powerful be a regular in a series like this.

@draketheduelist 5 месяцев назад

I distinctly remember that! How there was this looming threat of something beyond anything the Winchesters had faced up to that point. How Dean came back from Hell inexplicably. How no one could even tell what was going on aside from it being really, REALLY big. How no amount of demon traps, snares, or charms from around the world could even slow down this paranormal juggernaut. Even Misha Collins _himself_ wasn't told what his character was supposed to be until the very last minute. You definitely get that this is the kind of entity that has good reason to tell people to "fear not".

@lilshrimpy14 3 года назад

Yep 100%. The first 5 seasons were BY FAR the best of the entire run. I feel like its the only group of seasons that actually led to a satisfying and enthralling end of season conclusion with each season building off of another with both lore and character development and it felt like there were actual stakes. My biggest complaint about the seasons after 5 is that the makers tried to make each season bigger than the last and that just made everything start to feel unearned and not really shocking. Also character development, there's only so much you can do with characters that you have known for 15 years at a certain point. Like Sam, after season 8 or so, the writers kind of throw him off to the wayside and doesn't end up doing much anymore. I know this sounds really negative, but I promise, Supernatural is still one of my favorite shows of all time! (Also sorry this is so long winded, great review!)

@cynthiaholmes5124 3 года назад

Yeah you are right about sam he was basically pushed out after season 8 the writers focused more on castiel and dean giving them the better storylines like castiel dealing with being human in season 9 and dean getting the mark the only thing that sam got was basically taking care of jack in season 13 and him dating Eileen in the final season

The first 5 seasons of supernatural were some of the best tv seasons ever made. To me there was no bad episodes in this era. Even the bad ones like wendigo and bugs are enjoyable. You can tell that kripke had a five year plan and stuck with it for the most part, very rarely changing stuff.

I wish Supernatural would have ended at season five. Everything made sense and came to full circle. I feel that if Supernatural had ended there, Supernatural could or would have become a cult iconic show. Even though the ratings weren't in the millions at that time. I believe like the original Star Trek, years later the magnificent of Supernatural would have made a huge huge come back with a new audience. Absolutely perfect review. Thank you.

@stealthmonkeydc2869 Год назад

I actually think S3 being short was a sort of blessing in disguise as the shorter episode run really adds to the feeling of the ticking clock. 1 year really isn't that long and I'm sure for Dean it felt even shorter and as the viewers we get a glimpse into that by the season being abbreviated.

@cutevillain3366 Год назад

Season 3 Ruby over season 4 for me. Katie Cassidys Ruby had far more charisma and and I truly felt like she wanted what was best for Sam. Which would’ve mad her ultimate betrayal hit so much harder.

To be fair, I feel the reason that season three Ruby would’ve been such a twist is that the actress herself had no idea that she was actually a bad guy all along. I think she’s genuinely playing a Demon who has turned good.

@ayt3877 9 месяцев назад

I was full on bawling at the season 5 finale because the last episode made such a beautiful wrap-up of sam and dean's story, where their emotional arcs throughout the seasons came to a tragic yet natural conclusion. I honestly think if Supernatural had ended there, it would've joined the very short list of shows with good endings.

@natebush8217 Год назад

Personally, the monster-of-the-week episodes were almost always my favorites; I love the tension of Sam and Dean doing research into the monster's potential identity as victims pile up around them, not always sure if it's gonna be a monster they fought before or an all new monster they need to do even more research on in order to beat it. I especially like when it turns out the monster is not actually evil and the brothers have to come to terms with the idea that "hunters vs. monsters" is not so black and white. While I do think the main stories are generally pretty solid, I was never as big of a fan of the celestial conflicts as I was of the MOTW scenarios as I much prefer the down-to-earth, nitty-gritty stuff that actually makes me believe that mear humans like Sam and Dean could actually win with the right amount of prep time and tenacity. When you add gods and angels to the mix, my suspension of disbelief begins to falter as it feels less likely the brothers could face off against such beings as well as the show's tv budget making such grandiose conflicts seem much less impressive than they could be (I mean, how many creatures take the form of humans as a means to save up on special effects, I ask you. Lol). These are nitpicks, of course, and the show almost always does a great job of keeping me hooked. 😆

@sk70091 Год назад

Same, especially in the later seasons when the season-long plot arcs became more and more farfetched, I always loved the "filler" episodes the most.

@saturnsextilevenus Месяц назад

yes i agree, i have always found cryptics and stuff like that much more interesting to me than the celestial stuff. Maybe cause if i was in sam and deans situation and angels were like you're the vessel for lucifer/michael also the apocalypse oopsies, i'd literally tell them to stick their glow sticks where the sun doesn't shine. Go find some place else to have temper tantrums lol. maybe the celestial stuff just annoyed me because i am so used to this world around me where governments and countries bring normal people just trying to survive into their wars or the highest profits, so it just makes me feel weary about everything around me 🤷‍♀ i don't hate the angel stuff but most the time i am like jesus 💀can you leave these poor boys alone, they'd been through enough, dudes haha

I love that Adam’s introduction is called “Jump the Shark” because they know it’s gonna be too much for anyone to handle. They know it’s cumbersome and it’s too much but they’ve gotta do it for the story. They’re telling the audience “we see it too, don’t worry.”

@imdoneplus 9 месяцев назад

@FlyingMonkies325 I’m glad you replied. You make me watch to watch the show again. Did you ever watch the anime?

@imdoneplus 9 месяцев назад

@FlyingMonkies325 there was a Supernatural anime with I think both of them voicing their roles. It was just cool to see episodes we’d already seen from a slightly different perspective. Speaking of the shows you mentioned, Smallville is quite good but the first season is very “monster of the week,” so it doesn’t really get really good until the second season, just like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s crucial to watch though for contexts.

@OldestPagans Год назад

I’ve always said that if they ended after season 5, it would have been a masterpiece. So many beautiful themes explored deeply. I loved much of the later seasons, but they never had near the same depth and gravitas.

@pauptartt Год назад

yes!! personally i like to think of season 5 as the "true ending" and just enjoy everything after as a potential way it ended!!

@1100LoverMusic Год назад

I actually really like season 3's shorter run, and I feel that it sort of adds thematically to it. Dean is going to die, that is everyone is aware of from the beginning of the season, but as long as it is something that is an eventuality, as long as they still have time to solve it, it is not the most pressing matter. As the season draws to a close and the pacing starts feeling a bit rushed, it sort of adds to that sense of impending doom of Dean's death. They are running out of time, they need a solution as soon as possible. And then... the season ends. A season cut short for a life cut short. Threads left unanswered because, well, that's death. The end.

@galacticmind9060 3 месяца назад

I have a personal connection to this situation: I am a screenwriter/storyboard artist and in 2010 I lived in LA. I sent SUPERNATURAL show-runner Eric Kripke a Dean&Sam storyboard sequence I wrote & rendered. Mr. Kripke called me and we talked for 3 hours. He loved my work (and offered me work on his next series that failed) but explained he was retiring after the 5th season. When I asked about his 5-year plan, he explained that the crew had become his friends over the 7 years it took to get the 5 seasons in the can. CW wanted a flagship show, so they made him and offer he couldn't refuse- EVERYONE made out like bandits, and all Kripke had to do was make sure the show didn't go off the rails. (It did- but it took a decade.) Understand that a Grip that made $60K/year (not much in LA) made $120K/year EXTRA in profit participation & residuals- that is how lucrative the deal was for everyone. Because Kripke did not want to leave them all unemployed, so they got rich when he was done with it, because they all took over and did a decent job as stewards. My point is also: if GAME OF THRONES show-runners, the idiots D&D had done the same thing, it would still be airing new episodes today, everyone would be unbelievably rich, and D&D would not be the laughingstock of Hollywood, and their STAR WARS trilogy of movies would have been made.

I know I'm 2 years too late to react to your interpretation of the show but everything you said about the show was spot on. Seasons 1-5 were brilliant. When Kripke left after season 5 the quality and arc was often chaotic, unfocused, yet still brilliant. As the show marched on, I would constantly go back to rewatch seasons 1-5. Another aspect of the Kripke seasons was his use of a darker film. Kripke always wanted the show to be a horror show, so the darker film created a more menacing vibe. I was sorely disappointed after Kripke left they went to brighter film lighting. You mentioned that you were going through some hard times and decided to watch Supernatural to help escape your problems. I can 100% relate. My husband left me for another woman. I can't even describe the mental torment I was going through during that time. So I would lose myself in the world of Supernatural. It helped to focus on something else.

The both had love interests in season one. Sam's was episode 1 and Dean's was Cassie in episode 13. Pretty sure that was the episode. Had the racist truck. Granted it wasn't stellar writing, but the chemistry between Cassie and Dean was great.

“This Ruby actress” aka Genevieve Padalecki, Jared’s wife 😂. But I totally relate. It’s my favorite show too. The Kripke era of SPN is peak television. Swan Song always got me in tears. Until Sam shows up again. It doesn’t ruin it, but it does leave a bitter taste in the mouth. Without it we could just pretend season 5 is the series finale and seasons 6-15 are just fan fic.

@HoseB932 Год назад

Mark Pellegrino def fits his role. Dude looks scary naturally. I should rewatch this show.

@MissSpaz Год назад

You're not the only one who has a massive attachment to the show due to getting into it during a tough time in your life. I got into it after I had a massive back injury and lost my ability to walk through the years 2010ish to 2013ish. Aaand I never really let go of it as a sort of comfort blanket. Broke my heart when it ended, though I agree that yes, the best plot was seasons 1-5 and as a writer myself, the show should have ended at season 5. But I'm glad it didn't.

Might have to hypnotize myself to forget everything after season 5 cause I can’t watch it anymore without a bad taste in my mouth when it used to be a masterpiece

@desolation9706 Год назад

omg im so glad i found you. i LOVE. suppernatural. i grew up with seasons 1-5 and seeing you go over it is so amazing. and its even better having seen the entire season.

@cynthiaholmes5124 3 года назад

The first five seasons had a cohesive storyline that set up one another even though Eric kripke made some choices that I didn't like he was still a great showrunner seasons 4 and 5 are in my top 5 of my favorite seasons list of supernatural plus season 4 was the introduction of my favorite character castiel I'm glad that Eric decided to keep him around and you really should do a video on gabriel 🌈😊🙂💝💖💙💜

I still too this day get goosebumps when I watch deaths introduction to the show in season 5 such a incredible scene. Couldn't watch it after season 8 tho cuz my brother passed away and that was our show we watched every episode every Thursday.. Our last words to each other where jerk and bitch 😭

@gizmo9826 2 года назад

also huge respect to you for ranking the entire series and keeping the details , you explained everything really good i didnt even realize how long the video was lol very underrated

@donmcglothlin841 Год назад

Season 5 was intended to be the end of the show by Kripke. When it got extended they scrambled for 6 and attempted another end in 7 which led to the mess that was the show after

@sugandhakohli Год назад

Whenever I re-watch SPN , I only watch complete Season 1-5 and the first 3 minutes of Season 6 Episode 1. After that, I watch just one or two episodes per season and then I completely give up by season 12 and go back to Season 1 after a few months to start the cycle over again

@iermanicus5244 Год назад

Hello Jay thanks for this!!! I have been hooked on seasons 1-5 for exact same reasons you mention. It's the core and the foundation of the show. The overall dramatic arch gets darker and I find the first two seasons are so innocent. Also great support characters I adore Bobby Singer. Thank you again for this inspiration it's a rainy Sunday here so I will go straight to season one after enjoying your channel. Greetings 🇦🇷

Season's 4 and 5 are amazing TV. Show could never recover after them, and it was one of the most satisfying conclusions for sure. So neatly wrapped the show struggled for the rest of its run to find any momentum and come up with bigger and badder threats.

@Nightcrawler77 2 года назад

Thanks for the very good video. Season 2 and 4 are my favorites, but 5 is absolutely awesome too.

@AmpharosSquad Год назад

Doing the rewatch ritual right now, finishing season 5 today. Man, that era was so amazing. I agree with you about 4-5, I think those are the best and most interesting seasons as a whole. Great retrospective!

I'm on Season 12 right now and just from the title, I wholeheartedly agree. I miss when they just went hunting, now the show seems to have so many spiderweb plots

I too have watched Supernatural probably a dozen times, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

@ghostwalkergames7707 2 года назад

Season 5 should have been the ending of the whole show. You all remember the anime they made that was the first couple of seasons and had pretty good animation.

@sidney1234usc Год назад

Before watching this I just want to say that I literally tell people all the time that I haven't watched past season 5 or season 6 because for me the build up from season 1 to season 5 left me feeling satisfied. People swear it gets better I just don't know how it could but I'm going to watch this video to hear his opinion

@sandcake Год назад

On point! I think a show that is right up your alley is 12 Monkeys. It's such an underrated, small show and I don't know how they managed to create a better ending than Supernatural Season 5. It's was a small show on the Syfy channel with a small budget. It's INSANE how things that are said in Season 1 tie perfectly into the finale. There are no plotholes and no storylines that went nowhere. I watch these four seasons over and over again. And I will do till I die. It's so satisfying. The finale is the best thing I have ever seen. Ever. I am amazed how they managed to do it. All my respect to the writers. I would love to see your review on this 🤗 This small show deserves way more attention.

@catladykat__8381 Год назад

My favorite show since 1998 is Buffy the vampire slayer, and it took me forever to start watching Supernatural consistently but let me tell you it´s quickcly becoming my other favorite tv show ever, I can't believe it took me so long to watch it, but I'm very glad I'm doing it. I love it! Happy to be finally be part of the fandom lol

@HBQ Год назад

i always recommend supernatural seasons 1-5 to everyone. yeah "watch better tv", i have, but these seasons are literally my favorite tv show of all time and probably always will be. they hold a ton of sentimental value bc i started the show back in 2011 when I was 13 years old. even s1 for me is fantastic. the story from s1-5 is just so good, and i loved the fact that the show ended with sam dead and dean settling down even though it was always meant to be the opposite. i watch swan song and then I'll think of the season 15 finale and it's so disappointing bc it ends exactly as predicted and has no real weight (and i didn't even watch the show past season 7). whenever i think of the show fondly, it's always this original storyline. i think sam winchester is one of those characters that I'll never get over.

@stevedenis8292 Год назад

Casting throughout the entire series is awesome you get so many actors and actresses that started and are in many other shows. So many of them put in a great performance even if it is just a small bit part. Lots of very great pieces of eye candy.

@UnofficialTranslator 2 года назад

Right now watching season 5 with my little sister. I never watched it and I fell in love with these guys. I'm very sad knowing what will happen in the seasons that will come after it

@alecburris4225 Год назад

Season 6 felt like an epilog, it wasn't necessary but it did nicely continue what you'd expect to happen after the conclusion of season 5. The writing was not quite as good but it was still enjoyable, and soulless Sam was fun to explore. Overall I'd say 7/10, still good but not absolutely fantastic like 1-5. Every season after that is on a slow downward slope

@Mindforprogress Год назад

Season 4 is indeed the best season! i mean "it's a terrible life" alone carries it way beyond all other seasons for it's cultural critique and references. Also "monster movie" is a highlight of the show as a whole for it's creative 50's horror movie style. Season 4 is a mastahpieceeeee

@buttons9751 Год назад

Thank you so much for finally putting into words how I feel about SPN 1-5 I always get too excited about it and get all flustered when I try explaining it to someone lol

@ZackeriseZeplane Год назад

I agree with on all of this. I too found Supernatural during a dark part of my life, and I really enjoyed it the first 5 seasons. Good review, and good job recapping the seasons.

@BrandonKaiser Год назад

Yeah in hindsight resurecting john and making him the vessel would have been fantastic. Especially if they rewrote his character a little bit for the beginning to be a bit more "angelic" basically we already see how dean is so subservient to his father and sam isnt so it could have been kinda the whole thing of sam is the devil and dean is the angel because they attached to the opposing sides of thier parents, sam attached to his mom who made a deal with a demon and dean attached to his dad who [INSERT ANGELIC TRAIT]. That would have been very poetic.

@dawnhanley6937 Год назад

Jay, LOVE your SPN synopsis. I've often said the seasons broke down into 3 eras * 1-5 = Platinum * 6-10 = Silver * 11 - 15 = Pewter with a few gold and silver nuggets Kripke as showrunner was the pinnacle, along with Kim Manners impact on the show early on. Still watchable for me until Jeremy Carver left as showrunner. Then I had to cherry pick episodes to rewatch unlike earlier seasons which I could rewatch over forever. Thanks for the breakdown!

@alphaxgaming6879 Год назад

One of the best serie ever made, its awesome how you were starting an episode ans had no idea what was gonna be the monster, the hunt ect... + the character energy and development make you want to see more, i like how dark an episode can be but at the same time some episode gave me the laugh of my life, the fan will know which one i can refer to ahah

Hey there! New subscriber and fan here! Been loving all your videos, especially the SPN ones! Always love meeting others like yourself who love the show as much as I do! Supernatural really is a one-of-a-kind show and I couldn’t agree with you more! I’ve also got a few myself: even got to interview 3 actors from the show too if you’re interested! Cheers mate and keep them videos coming! 😎

@darkmatterdharma617 Год назад

Feels good to have my feelings validated ! Thank you

@kk7324 Год назад

the problem with supernatural was they extended the show which was supposed to end. Think about it in season 1 to 5, there was no god but he would do something at an unexpected time to give brothers an edge such as resurrecting castiel, relocating sam and dean so sam doesn't fall into lucifer hands which implies that despite them going against the script, chuck(god) is actually on their side. Also Sam had the perfect redemption arc. What happened after 5 was that they had to untie everything that first 5 seasons had concluded. That's why season 6 and 7 were so awkward. Also no other seasons that came after 5 surpasses 5 in terms of quality. Angels become laughing stock because they couldn't afford to use large budget on animations to make angel fights look awesome so they just fight and die like normal humans. Remember in season 4, when angels came to restrain cas, the whole factory was leveled?

@nem87000 Год назад

My big gripe with Supernatural is the creature design. What's a vampire you ask? Well it's a human with messed up teeth. So what's a werewolf, well its a human with messed up teeth. Ok so what's a ghoul, it's a human with messed up teeth. A regaru? You guessed it, a human with messed up teeth. Ok, but a dragon, that's gotta be lizard like right? Nope, human, its hands get hot. Ok then, what is a Phoenix, that's defiantly a bird of fire right? No, it's a human, its hands get hot.

@forgot7en Месяц назад

The season 5 ending was so good that I was convinced the show was over. 3 years later I looked up the show and they were on season 8 and I was like "What the damn hell??" And seeing how the show ended... after 15 seasons... They really should've stopped at 5. There are some great moments in the following ten seasons but narratively speaking, Season 5 is it. It's where the show ended for real. The rest of it is all fun and games, really, and it speaks volumes of its lead actors to have been able to carry the show for this long, because there's so very little else in terms of storytelling worthwhile after Season 5.

@ThatIcelandicDude Год назад

@paulburtonjr7339 Год назад

Im really glad you included Heart one of the best episodes, the acting at the end and the trauma it builds upon really highlights how good these actors are, since they mostly have to play goofy or too serious of roles, while this adds weight to the acts of killing they do that isnt really touched upon.

@matthiasrauert8397 Год назад

So i watched the first 5 seasons when they came out with my mum when i was in my early teens and i love those until today and rewatch them every couple of years. This show just brings such a warm and unique feeling to me also i think the the roadtrip structure keeps it rly fresh especially when u know how tv shows back then and to this safe on budget by reusing actors and sets as much as they can. Also i can't praise the soundtrack of this show enough i just knew is was in for something special here when the first shapeshifter episode started with a song from iron butterfly, u just know that these guys are real old school rock and metal fans u just wouldn't be able to pick these songs as perfectly if u weren't.

Supernatural was my life bro, I’m glad I’m not the only one who is so in love with it! Glad you did these videos I feel supernatural doesn’t get enough love. I’m sure you know this already but season 5 was supposed to be the end but decided to keep going. I’m conflicted with that decision because I love that we got more supernatural for 10 more years but the quality of the show definitely did take it hit to me after season 8😅 regardless still love the show and it’s always a joy to watch😄

@TarnishedTeff Год назад

I think this show is a one of a kind. It takes the monster hunter idea like van helsing, the Witcher and the belmonts from castlevania and throws it into a modern time.

@theBabyDead 2 года назад

**Ahem** -- time to be a d-bag haha. You mentioned Sam saying yes in Detroit was set up "already" in 5.10, but that's incorrect. It was set up even earlier, when Dean went to the future. Future Dean told current Dean, that Sam said yes in Detroit.
