Can you complete season 11 guide, please?
Thank you so much <3
Thanks. Season 11 is still sketchy, as I have labeled it from memory. Those that are left without a title are just not recalling special memories to me, so are only “most likely” filler.
How about season 12?
I’ve been following your guide, up to season 9 now. Is it worth going forward? Are seasons 10, 11, and 12 quality seasons? Thanks for the guide!!!
I don’t remember. It rather got gradually slightly less original with each season, I’d say 🙂 Though they are just your Supernatural kind of seasons in my opinion.
Why did you leave some of S11 and 12 untitled?.. Lost interest?.. Been following this list since season 6.. Oh well. 😞
Thanks. For now, I still watch it for and jot down how to label episodes, I’m just not updating the page after each episode.
Usual suspect not awesome? Man you’re delusional
How can you not say Safe House is awesome? Bobby and Rufus are the best!
11×06 Our Little World is definitely not a filler episode. Must watch!
The list of important episodes is okay. The list of “awesome” confusing at best, terrible at worst. And what the hell is going on with “Stuck in the Middle (With You)”? That one is super important and also amazing??? Weird list.
how is s05 e09 not awesome? Its the first supernatural convention, come on
In your opinion is Season 12 actually good? Ive heard that its pretty awful.
Please update! Season 13 and 14 are out now
5×14 is a pretty plot- important episode.. i mean the 4 horsemen are like key points of the story?
This list has some issues.
There are a few episodes that aren’t considered key plot episodes in this, but they actually are key plot episodes. The most obvious examples are My Bloody Valentine (5.14) and Dark Side of the Monn (5.16).
And then there’s the awesome episodes list. How in the world are LOTUS and Ladies Drink Free considered awesome, but episodes such as The End (5.04), First Born (9.11), The Executioner’s Song (10.14), The Vessel (11.14) and Regarding Dean (12.11) -and many more- are not?
I also respectfully disagree with your thoughts about S11 and S12’s writing. S12 felt fresh, but it also felt poorly planned. S11 had one main strong storyline with most of the MotW episodes connected to the main story arc. Compared to that, S12 storylines felt more disconnected from each other, and sometimes got forgotten just because it was convenient.
I guess it comes down to personal taste. I’ve watched all episodes multiple times, and was looking for a new way to rewatch it. I liked some of your choices (I think ‘Frontierland’ and ‘Time After Time’ are awesome too), but there are some obvious differences of opinions between us.
Still, it is a nice thing you did with your list. Thanks for your efforts.
(And to the beginners who are checking out the comments before starting to watch Supernatural: Just remember that what’s awesome is a matter of personal taste. As I said above, there are many amazing episodes that aren’t considered awesome on this list but they are huge fan favorites. You’ll be missing a lot of good stuff.)
Hey, man, are you still watching the show?
have you given up?
I stopped tracking it. Since season 12 it was hard to judge the episodes, they evened out, it’s hard to distinguish the quality or if it contains enough amount of main mythology theme to be marked as such. Also, these categories were quite problematic, to begin with. If you’re this far into it to reach 12th-15th season, you might want to just watch it all. Having a guide (which can never guarantee a best choice for you) is better for testing the very long show out. Though I might still possibly redo the whole guide!
