The American dark fantasy tv series was created by Eric Kripke and produced by McG, and was first broadcast on The WB and then The CW from the 13^th of September 2005 to the 19^th of November 2020.

Episode 1 - Oak Park, Illinois, is one of the 17 cities that the demons who came through the opened hell gate landed in. One demon possess a man, and goes around whispering to people, making them do things.

Investigating, the brothers helped by Bobby, run into a couple who hunt together, old friends of Bobby. The two don’t want to join forces with the brothers as they consider them responsible for the hell gate opening. I don’t know how was that their fault, for all they did was try to stop it !

Anyway, the two idiots go together into the demons’ den, and the demons catch them, making the husband drink bl3ach, k1lling himself. Luckily for the woman, the brothers joined by Bobby arrive just in time to rescue her. They catch the demon whispering to people, and Bobby realizes these demons are the 7 deadly sins.

Sam is trying to find a way to get Dean out of his deal with the Crossroads Demon.

Dean thinks he is living the life, trying to make the best of the year he has left by having one night stands with twins, things which cheapens the series, making him unlikeable to me, and eating a lot.

Episode 2 - In Cicero, Indiana, a girl is brought home by her father as she tells her mother,Dana, she doesn’t like his place as there’s monsters there. Later that night her father dies in a freak accident at the house.

Dean finds the article about what happened in the newspaper, and wants to go, stating Lisa, a girl he spent a weekend with 8 years before, lives there.

The moment they get there, he drops Sam at the hotel, and drives to see Lisa. Lisa doesn’t seem too happy to see him, as she has a birthday party for her 8 year old son. Dean thinks he might be his kid, as the kid, Ben, is acting just like him, liking the same things he does.

Dana confides in Lisa about her not thinking her daughter,Katie, is her daughter anymore, and Lisa tells her she needs help, so she leaves.

Seeing her when she leaves, Dean ends up talking about her with Lisa, who tells him there’s been a lot of freak accidents in the neighborhood lately.

The woman who helped Sam with the 3 deadly sins using a certain knife, follows the brothers, mostly Sam, and comes to talk to him. She tells him all of his mother’s friends died one after the other, around the time she died.

Katie spends all of her time with her mother, not letting her do anything, watching her when she sleeps. Dana sees her daughter’s reflection in the mirror is like that of a zombie and freaks out. While in the bathroom, Katie bangs in the door, losing her mind, asking her to let her in.

Sam talks to another woman who’s husband fell from inside the room, while changing a light bulb. He sees her daughter acting like a child of the corn, and sees red stains leading up to her window.

Looking into it, he realizes they have to deal with a changeling who is feeding off the mother leaving a big wound at the back of the neck.

This episode reminded me of the 2009 movie “Case 39”, which might have been inspired by it (the kids banging at the door while the mother is afraid of it, and the mother driving the car into the lake).

I didn’t like this episode’s soundtrack, as it felt it didn’t match at certain scenes, the most important ones, the climactic scenes, like the one in which they’re trying to get the kids out of the changeling’s den, and Lisa trying to run from her changeling.

Episode 3 - One of Gordon’s friends comes to visit him in prison, telling him about Hell’s Gate being opened. Gordon thinks Sam is responsible for it, while his friend tells him Bobby Singer said he went there to stop it. Gordon tells him he’s not sure Sam is even human, and that he must die.

Sam tells Dean that the woman who helped him against the demons was a demon, and Dean tells him he should have k1lled her. When pressed about it, Sam admits he didn’t k1ll her for she said he can get Dean out of the deal with the Crossroads Demon.

Their father’s phone rings and they are told his storage container outside Buffalo,was broken into. Heading that way, they see one of the curse boxes with binding magic on it is missing.

The men who broke in, and stole the box, open it, and see there’s only a rabbit foot inside. The man who was shot when he broke into John’s storage container touches it, and becomes very lucky.

He’s so lucky, that when the brothers find them, they are a mess, the thieves beating them up. Everything changes when Sam grabs the rabbit’s foot while he was about to be choked to death by one of the thieves. Now Sam is the lucky one, becoming unable to be k1lled, winning lottery tickets and other such things.

This is a funny episode, and one of my favorites.

I still can’t stand Bella though. As I recall this isn’t the only episode she appears in, and I hate the character.

I didn’t like the soundtrack, which I think was meant to be funny.

Episode 4 - A man k1lls himself in front of a priest and a nun in a church.

Bobby and Dean are trying to make the Colt work, as it has no more bullets. Sam found more omens in Ohio, and he and Dean head that way.

Talking to the priest who saw the man die, he says the town used to be full of people who cared about each other and helped each other. It all changed 2 months prior. When the Devil’s Gate opened.

When they enter their hotel room Dean runs into Richie, a hunter he hunted with once when he was a teenager. Richie tells them about a bar that just opened in town, which seems to be where it all started.

While there, Richie hits on the bartender who agrees to go home with him, and taking him to her place, she reveals she’s a demon and knows he’s a hunter, so she k1lls him.

When she uses the same trick on Dean, turns out he already had her figured out, but trying to exorcise her she destroys the place except for the pentagram she’s trapped on, and the two of them are stuck together, talking about hell while they wait for one of their own to rescue them.

Bobby gets help with the Colt from Ruby, the demon lady.

Episode 5 - Two chubby men out of 3 are k1lled by a man who acted like a wolf. The one who survived tells the brothers it was a normal looking man, with a tattoo of Wile E. Coyote on his arm, who just stopped after he attacked him, and ran away.

Sam is trying to convince Dean to use the gun on the Crossroads Demon, to let him out of the deal, because everyone is happy when they don’t have to pay for something they “bought”. I don’t like this concept of not having to pay for your actions and mistakes. He made the deal, he got what he wanted, he has to pay for it.

A couple who are lost in the forest are dr@ged by an old lady who turns homicidal. The woman makes it out alive, and tells the brothers she saw a pale girl with black hair, looking like Snow White.

Sam tells Dean this is obvious a ghost or spirit who k1lls people based on fairy tales. He thinks the spirit might put people in a sort of trance, making them do its bidding.

This was one of my favorite episodes back in the day.

Episode 6 - A woman who is running sees a sails ship. Later that night, while showering, she is k1lled by a man who appears in her shower, and she dies drowned.

Sam k1lled the Crossroads Demon because she wouldn’t release Dean from the contract. She told him she has a boss who holds the contract.

Asking about what happened to the woman who drowned in the shower, Sam sparks the interest of a woman who could be his grandmother.

Bella makes an appearance (I hate this character so effing much with her fake effing accent!), making the investigation hard for the brothers (she towed their car, tells the police they’re not real agents).She doesn’t care about people the ghost k1lls until she sees the ship. SPOILERS I hated the fact the brothers helped her, as I don’t want to see this effing character ever again !

Anyway, she asks the brothers to partner with her to get the hand of the ghost, SPOILERS only for them to find out after, she used them to get the hand so she could sell it to someone who wanted it.

Episode 7 - Gordon Walker finds Bella, and asks her where the brothers are. He gives her his mojo bag and she calls Dean, asking him right after she says Hi, where they are, and the idiot tells her, because they are such good friends (eye roll!). Why does she have his phone number in the first place?!

The brothers are hunting vampires. There’s one who puts vampire blood in the women’s drinks lying to them is a new drug, turning them.

Gordon finds them, and the vampire, and the vampire takes him, and bleeds on him, turning him. Until now I didn’t see Gordon as a bad guy, he just had information Sam was the antichrist, and based on that, just like the brothers did with the things they were hunting, he decided to hunt what he thought was evil. And he thought Sam was evil. Now Gordon seems evil.

Episode 8 - In Seattle, Washington, the year before, a grandfather who was posing as Santa, putting the gifts under the tree was taken by.. an evil Santa?

Now, in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the brothers investigate the disappearance of a father / husband, after the wife heard a thump on the rooftop.

Dean wants to celebrate Christmas for the first time, while Sam doesn’t want to, as he remembers how their childhood Christmases were.

Looking into it, Sam thinks it might be an evil Santa, and investigating, they find out all the men who went missing bought a wreath with certain greens in it, used in offerings to pagan gods.

Episode 9 - A woman dies in the bathroom, as all of her teeth fall out, while a witch is saying an incantation.

The brothers investigate, and while Dean talks to the husband, Sam finds a hex bag under the sink.

The next night, the same witch who k1lled the wife, puts a spell on the husband now, to k1ll him while he eats, and he is saved by the brothers at the last moment. He tells them he had an affair with the witch which is k1lled by whoever she prayed to, as if she k1lled herself.

The brothers find a hex bag under her table, and Sam realizes they deal with a witch coven.

Episode 10 - Bobby is caught in a nightmare he can’t wake up from.

Being his emergency contact, Dean is called by the hospital he is taken to.

The brothers start investigating, and find out Bobby was investigating the death of a neurologist who went to sleep and never woke up. They come to the conclusion he found what k1lled the doctor and it went after him.

Meanwhile, Bobby is trapped in a nightmare with his dead wife.

Dean finds one of the doctor’s patients, and has the amazing idea of accepting a drink from him, which later would come to bite him in the backside.

The brothers call Bella, to bring them African Dream Root, used for dream walking by shamans, so they could enter Bobby’s dream world and bring him out of it. Just remember, before Inception it was Supernatural “Dream a little dream of me”.

Episode 11 - Bella stole their Colt while they were dream walking in the previous episode, and the brothers go looking for her.

Sam starts re-living the same Tuesday over and over again, for months, trying to solve the mystery at the Mystery Spot , having to see Dean being k1lled in different ways every time.

When he sees a man eating at the diner countertop ordered something else, he realizes he deals with the Trickster.

Episode 12 - The brothers are in Monument, Colorado, looking for Bella, who is long gone, but called the FBI on them.

Agent Henriksen brings them to the police station, warning the sheriff they are some of the most dangerous criminals. Henriksen calls his superior and he comes personally to k1ll the brothers, revealing he’s a demon.

Agent Henriksen gets possessed and k1lls the sheriff trying to k1ll the brothers. Sam exorcises the demon and Henrisken survives. He takes the shackles off them, and they barricade themselves in the police station with a lot of salt and protection symbols to keep the demons who surrounded the place,out.

Ruby shows up, asking them to sacrifice the virgin Nancy, in order to k1ll all the demons.

Episode 13 - The episode is filmed in the “found footage” technique. The Ghostfacers go ghost hunting, and film themselves while doing it. They encounter Sam and Dean while they try to figure out what’s happening in a haunted house.

The Ghostfacers are really bad at their job and scared of whatever they encounter.

Sam and Corbett, one of the Ghostfacers team members, are being kidnapped by the ghost who apparently was very lonely, worked as a janitor at a morgue, and brought the bodies to keep him company, creating “death echoes” around the house.

Episode 14 - In Ohio, a man is called by his dead ex wife, asking him to go to her, and because she keeps on stalking him, he k1lls himself.

The brothers go to Ohio, and talking to the man’s wife, she says he kept on talking on the phone with a woman, but when she picked up on the other line it was just static.

A teenager receives calls and messages from her mother who’s telling her to ”go to her”. Sam is trying to help her, while Dean thinks he receives calls from his father, telling him where to find the demon who holds his contract.

Episode 15 - In Erie, Pennsylvania, Sam is tracking a doctor from the 1800’s who discovered the secret to immortality, by k1lling mostly men, taking their organs.

Dean goes after Bella, as Bobby finds out through a friend where she is. He finds her, but she says she sold the Colt long ago, and it’s on the other side of the world. He sees she has plants above the door meant to keep hell hounds away, so he leaves.

This episode with the immortal doctor made no sense! The guy even replaced his own heart by himself! How does one do that?! They also said he replaced his hand. How does one do that by himself? He wanted to take Sam’s eyes. How would he perform that surgery on himself?! Not to mention he looked like a zombie, and lived secluded in some forest. That is no life to live forever!

It was satisfying to see Bella’s time ran out. I HATED the b!tch ! What a disgusting character!

Episode 16 – Dean has 30 hours to live, and has nightmares about being chased by the hell hounds. He also has disturbing visions when he sees people, their faces changing.

Bobby has a lead on Lilith, and finds her in New Harmony, Indiana.

Sam wants to summon Ruby to help them. And he does. She tells him he can help Dean, because he has the power to wipe Lilith off the face of the earth. Dean starts a fight with her, and steals her knife, imprisoning her with symbols.

Lilith is playing with the family of the little girl who’s body she’s possessing, holding them hostage, in a town full of demons guarding her.

Sam, Dean and Bobby go after her.

Dean can see people’s true faces, as in, he can see if they are possessed, the faces of the demons possessing them, which comes in handy.

I personally loved the season. The common denominator is Sam, and not only, trying to find a way to get Dean out of the deal with the Crossroads Demon.

This was the best season of the series in my opinion. I would have given it a 5 star rating : “The stuff dreams are made of” if it wasn’t for the Bella character that I can’t effing stand with her fake accent and overall fakeness, Dean’s one night stands and fleeting affairs with women- in season 2 it seemed he had a thing for Jo, now he’s into Lisa?!

Bobby Singer is a series regular. Ellen and Jo didn’t make an appearance this season. Bella was a season regular, and I HATED the b1tch.

Most episodes are under 40 minutes.

The acting was good, except for Jared Padalecki. I love the man, but his acting is getting worse with every season.

The soundtrack was good.

The visual effects were great.

I liked the places where they filmed, the landscapes and the houses were so beautiful.

Rating : It’s so money !
