Hello all! I am currently watching Supernatural for the first time ever! It's been such a fun and amazing ride! This show is amazing and quickly rising in my ranks of favorite shows. I made a post here before, but basically my goal is just to drop by maybe once or twice a season to update whoever cares about my progress, maybe talk about the show a bit, and really just gush over it. It's been a while, I haven't had the easiest year (who has really?) but I finally was able to dedicate time to get through some episodes. I've currently just finished S2E10 - Hunted. I wanted to recap some of my thoughts below, hopefully I don't go on too much of a tangent!
Season 1 was extremely good, and the monsters were interesting. The bee episode, they definitely should have died in however. Honestly, I don't know how they get away with half of their stuff lol it seems the monsters operate on Scooby-doo logic sometimes and try to terrify before actually killing the brothers.
But when we got to the last episodes of Season 1, oh mannn. The episode where they show the boys as kids, hunting a monster who attacked Sam when he was younger was such good stuff. I am such a sucker for Sam Dean moments. They play off themselves so well. And then Meg, and all her craziness. Kinda sad she's gone, maybe one day she can return and we can see her true form? I'll miss the previous actress, she could play a pissed off, evil, yet kinda campy and also kinda terrifying demoness so very well.
John! Everything John I love. I totally recognize he's a horrible father, but like aw man Jeffery Dean Morgan plays him like no ones business. I can really see the years of built up trauma in him that just cannot allow him to be what the boys might need, just like I can see his awareness of said flaws in his system. It's like he knows he's a piece of shit but he also knows it's what he needs to be if he ever wants to avenge his wife. Honestly, it's easily apparent to me that he cared about his wife more than both of his kids combined. Revenge was more important to him than living, which I can understand but it's still quite sad to see.
John did choose his boys in the end though, and I have to tip my hat for that. He made a deal with his own personal devil, and did it for Dean of all people. Seemed like Dean was always his verbal punching bag for everything, his obvious least favorite. It's nice I guess that in death at least, John finally chose Dean. I hope his actor comes back for flashbacks!
Season 2 has been great. I love the new characters, especially the roadhouse crew. I wish other hunters were more credible I guess. It seems like Sam and Dean outpace everything and everyone. In fact in general, I am kind of unimpressed with Hunters except the roadhouse crew, and my man Gordan. Gordan is everything the show needed. I feel physical tension whenever he pops up in an episode man. It's like he can't be put down. When he was hunting Sam, and actually killed him in the flashback was so crazy. Hell, he himself is crazy lmaoo. I will also say the monsters seem to be getting scarier. Watching the episode where the entire town gets disappeared like Roanoke was a horror fest.
I'm looking forward to more of the man with the Yellow Eyes. I don't think he is Satan, because I know this show goes on for quite some time and I don't expect Satan to appear so soon. I want to see Gordon again for sure, and maybe some monsters that the boys cant face. Maybe even watch them have to flee from something they just can't do anything to. I love the drama that's building from Sams powers. John is a shitty person and shittier father for asking one son to kill another, but goddamn could he hold a scene when he was around. I hope to see this war the Yellow Eye demon is preparing for, I would love to see greater stakes.
