Most Watched Supernatural Episodes on My TV - Season 1 to 3

It's no secret that Supernatural is my favorite television show this decade. There isn't a single episode that I hate. I have so so many favorites episodes. But some episodes have higher view counts than others.

So fangirls and boys here are the Most Watched Supernatural Episodes on My TV (Season one to three). Most watched episodes for season four and five will be posted in coming days. I have also included my viewing recommendation playlist. If you are new to the show, this might help.

Here we go...

Home
I love Home for a couple of reasons. I am a sucker for episodes that focus on the Winchester family. This is the first time we see John Winchester since the Pilot. It’s also the first episode we see Mary, John, Dean and Sam together in one episode since the Pilot.

The show was still in its rookie season and we were still getting to know the story and characters. The John Winchester appearance at the end was a jaw dropping moment for me. I didn't expect to see John at all. This scene summed up the emotions of the first half of season one.
We found out John was alive and he was getting to the truth about the demon that killed Mary. He still loved his sons very much but he didn’t want to involve them and he was still watching over them.

In this scene, the mood change was awesome. The soundtrack was awesome. Although this scene was short and simple, but it was very powerful. The pain of John Winchester was very well written by Eric Kripke and the scene was very well performed by JDM. In my book, this is definitely one of the most memorable scenes of the series.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan was only on a few episodes throughout the series, but he made an impact as John Winchester, a character we all love. We still want JDM to return to the show before the series ends. It’s a crime if Eric Kripke doesn’t at least call the guy and ask!

Tiny's Playlist
Try watching all the Winchester Family episodes in one go: The Pilot, Home, What is and What Should Never Be, In the Beginning and the up-coming Back to the Future II.

Something Wicked
The Dementor is in town! I love it when an episode is presented as a filler episode, but at the same time the writers also show you the different side of the main characters and their past as part of the development of the show.

Season one referred to John's Journal a lot, but not this job, he didn't mention this in his journal. It's the first time we see the younger version of Dean and Sam, brilliantly played by Ridge Canipe and Alex Ferris respectively. Ferris was later replaced by Colin Ford in later episodes to play the older version of young Sam.

It was probably the first time we really see how much Dean cared about the way John looked at him as a son. We see a different side of Dean, who has been trained by his dad to become a solider and a protector of little brother Sam. Obviously John was strict to the boys when it comes to hunting, especially Dean. When John was not around, Dean has to step up and become John. If Dean screwed up, he will not hear the end of it from John. And we see how much Dean really cared about Sam ever since they were kids.

Tiny's Playlist
Try watching all the young Winchester episodes in one go, it's pretty awesome: Something Wicked, A Very Supernatural Xmas and After School Special.

Nightshifter
'We are so screwed.'

We know Sam and Dean survived by credit card fraud. But this is the first time they were engaged with the law enforcement. The introduction of Special Agent Victor Hendrickson was awesome. Surely the boys are saving people, hunting things but if you are caught, you're screwed.

This is a fun shapeshifter episode, which we get every season except season three. But it's packed with action and the iconic 'we are so screwed' moment. Styx's Renegade rocks! Bring back the classic rock songs!

Tiny's Playlist
For a complete shapeshifter experience, watch Skin, Nightshifter and Monster Movies together.

For a complete Victor Hendrickson experience, try Nightshifter, Folsom Prison Blues, Jus in Bello and Are You There God, It's Me Dean Winchester.

What Is and What Should Never Be
Mary is alive. Sam is a lawyer. Jessica is engaged to Sam. Dean is mowing the lawn and lives with his girlfriend. It's another episode of Brothers and Sisters. Wait! Wrong show.

This life is good, but you don't belong here.

Jensen Ackles has some really great performances throughout the series, but in this episode he gave one of his best. To be perfectly honest, this is the first time I look at Jensen as a seriously good actor. This guy can act, he totally kicked ass, so watch out! This episode was written by Eric Kripke and it is one of a few episodes that was directed by Eric Kripke. I love you man!

Kripke should've put John Winchester in this episode. What if he didn't die and he was the lovey dovey sweet John that Mary mentioned in In the Beginning? Kripke, dude, call the guy and ask him to come back!

Tiny's Playlist
It's not really another alternate reality experience, but the closest one is Mystery Spot. For more Jessica episodes, try The Pilot, What Is and What Should Never Be and Sympathy for the Devil.

Bad Day at Black Rock
'I lost my shoe.'

Do I need to say more about this episode? This is a tie, between Bad Day at Black Rock and Mystery Spot. Both episodes are funny, but I think I watched Bad Day at Black Rock a bit more than I watch Mystery Spot. Mystery Spot is quite dark towards the end of the episode, but Bad Day at Black Rock is funny all the way.

You could probably tell by now, the reason I love this episode is because of the John Winchester reference: the warehouse and the rabbit foot! And yeah, did you know that Dean is Batman?

Tiny's Playlist
I could recommend some Bella episodes, but there isn't much. Try Red Sky in the Morning and Time Is on My Side.


Jus in Bello
The return of Victor Hendrickson. Awesome! But this time, he was possessed by a demon, but the Winchester exorcised it. After saving Hendrickson, he was BFF with Sam and Dean, and they fought against the demons together.

Not knowing if the series will return due to the Writer's Strike, this episode was treated as the finale of season 3. This episode was EPIC. In my book, this defined the meaning of Supernatural epic. The boys were in a confined environment with civilians, limited resources and surrounded by an army of demons. Good people still died at the end. There were lots to think about at the end of the episode: the new enemy Lillith; the coming war against the demons and the big questions were: Will Dean go to Hell? Will Sam go Vader to save Dean?

Tiny's Playlist
Pretty heavy stuff, but watch these epic episodes together - Salvation, All Hell Break Loose I & II, Croatoan, Jus in Bello, Larazus Rising, Lucifer Rising, On the Head of a Pin, Sympathy for the Devil, Good God Y'all, The End and Abandon All Hope.

For a good Ruby 1.0 experience, watch Malleus Maleficarum (I thought Katie Cassidy really stepped up in this episode.) For Ruby 2.0, just watch Lucifer Rising and see her get KO.

Most Watched Supernatural Episodes On My TV (Season 4 & 5) will be posted in coming days. Stay tuned.

So there you go. Leave a comment or follow me on Twitter.

Happy New Year! May 2010 be an awesome year for all.

A Very Supernatural 2009 - Lessons from The Winchester Gospel

What a year it has been! What are some of the key lessons from the Winchester Gospel?

Lesson 1: You shall love other idjits
Supernatural fans took over Twitter back in September with trending topics Supernatural and Lucifer is Coming. Some idjits thought we were devil worshippers. Clearly you need help with your upstairs brain. We shall love them no matter what, Puff Diddy is just scared of his TV.

Lesson 2: You shall attend annual gathering to hug the masters and other minions

Complete your life by attending a Supernatural Convention this year and give each other a Winchester hug. Don't forget to hug the Masters: Jensen, Jared, Misha, Jim.. THE LOT.

Lesson 3: You shall tweet

With all your faults, I love you still. Baby, it had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be Twitter.

You shall tweet anything and everything Supernatural with other minions. Tweeting is the only way to spread the love, stop the apocalypse and understand the teaching from Master Kripke. Join a live TwitCom and be sure to interact with other minions.

Lesson 4: You shall learn to speak a second language (preferably Japanese)

Learn to speak a second language is useful, you never know when you'll run into Mr Trickster. If you're naughty, he will put you in TV land and worst... he'll put you on a Japanese game show.

Lesson 5: You shall hoard toilet paper like it is made of gold

Try not to eat and drink bad stuff.. because you will use more toiler paper. It's gold, you don't want to waste it.

Lesson 6: God cannot be found on any flatbread

Where is God? You ask. Do I look like I know? May be Dean and Sam will die and go to heaven to find out. It's not like they haven't died before.


Lesson 7: You shall always make sure you have enough minutes on your cell phone before calling anyone

Yes, this is a very important communication tip. You don't want to hear the voice to tell you you're almost out of minutes in the middle of nowhere.

Lesson 8: You shall stop worrying about everything

Eric Kripke is one of the best showrunners in the business. So stop worrying about everything and just enjoy the ride while you can.

Guess it's time to eat, drink and make merry.
Have a Very Supernatural Xmas and a Wonderful 2010.



Supernatural Heaven; Dr Badass is back

Supernatural spoiler!!!

Mose in Idaho: What's the word on Supernatural? Thanks for all the scoop last week.

Kristin (E!Online): No prob. I'm hearing that Sam and Dean will die and go to heaven. Yes, you heard me right. We will see heaven! (Which is funny 'cause I always assumed heaven would look a lot like Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles.)

Source E!Online.

And if you don't know it already, Dr Badass (aka Ash) is returning to Supernatural Chad Lindberg confirmed this via his Twitter. He is going to appear in the zombies episode with Bobby's wife. Here is Chad's Twitter update.
It's all business up front, party in the back!

Supernatural 5.17 - New episode title released

Title for episode 5.17 was released. It's called Your Time is Gonna Come. Nothing else was released regarding this episode. Source SpoilerTV.

I think 5.18 will be the 100th episode. Nothing new has been released since Eric Kripke mentioned it
here and Sera Gamble's interview here.

The 'It's the end of the world, but I'm going to survive it, here are the TV shows and movies in my survival pack' List

It is this time of the year that almost everyone would release some sort of top ten list or something along that line. Screw it, I am going to do one too.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present - The 'It's the end of the world, but guess what, I'm going to survive it, thanks to one of those ships in the movie 2012, here are the TV shows and movies in my survival pack' List.

They are not in any particular order, but I do save the best to last.

Australian Idol Season 1

I know! But you should always pack something that reminds you of home. In my case, it'd be Australia. This represents the era of (bad or addictive) reality TV, you see different parts of Australia, and it included the Sydney Opera House fireworks. This one has the lot!

Star Wars 1-6

I must be one of the few girls around who love Star Wars. I could be the last surviving girl who love Star Wars, my role could be important in preserving the pop culture and the legacy of George Lucas.

Titanic

I know I am on a ship already if I survive the end of the world, I really don't need any more ship sinking experience, but I love Titanic. You jump I jump.

Sweet Home Alabama

I friggin love this movie. This is probably one of the few chic flicks that I watch over and over again. I like a good happy ending on occasion.

Fight Club

On a bad day, I love watching Fight Club. It actually motivates me and it's a friggin great movie.

24

Damn it! Jack Bauer, where are you when the world needs you? But I don't think Jack could have saved us from natural disasters.

Lost

Fitting huh? May be one day I will believe this is a time travel thing, the end of the world DID NOT happen.

South Park

What?


Stargate SG1 and Atlantis


I just like it. The end. Stargate Universe still has a long way to go, but I like some good old classic Jack O'Neill and Daniel Jackson.

Garden State

I know! Weird choice! But I really like Zach Braff and Natalie Portman in this movie. This is my kind of feel good movie.

Scrubs

Eat it Greys and House. Scrubs is awesome! I can watch the Musical any time any day.

Smallville

The world needs a hero now more than ever. A light in the darkness. A symbol for us to believe in when all other hope is lost. Let the Blur be the hero he needs to be. This is officially one of my favorite shows.

Glee

This is the best new show I actually enjoy. I know there are Fringe, FlashForward or whatever... but Glee is it!

Supernatural

This is the BEST of the BEST. Supernatural is the best written show on television this decade in my book. What's not to like about it? Team Edward Team Jacob Team Dr Sexy MD all you like, I heart Team Winchester. My life would truly suck without Supernatural. If I survive the end of the world, I definitely need my Supernatural! If I can't pack Supernatural into my survival bag, please kill me. Mike Hale from NY Times agrees with me! He named Supernatural one of 2009 best! Woohoo!!

Still to come on this blog: My favorite Supernatural episodes; the long overdue review of Curious and The Ghostbusters and the year in review thing.

A Very Supernatural Christmas - A Twitter Commentary

Xmas is just around the corner. Whether you are going to spend some lovely quality time with family and friends willingly or unwillingly, it's a special time for sharing.

If you are on Twitter, it's certainly a special time for spamming. KaraLambo and I did a Twitter Commentary on A Very Supernatural Xmas a few hours ago. If you missed it or if you want to read the tweets again because they are award winning tweets, here is the recap from my end. You can visit Kara's blog here.

So here we go:

http://twitpic.com/tljei A Very Supernatural Christmas - Twitter Commentary starts soon with KaraLambo 8pm AEST

Pre-show commercial: A Very Supernatural Xmas Twitter Commentary with KaraLambo http://tinyurl.com/y973gom

Zombies, Mrs Bobby... AWESOME!

Twitter ate my tweets like zombies eat brains..

A special presentation

Hello Dean, Hello Sam

Tooth fairy

Wait! There is no Santa???????

This reminds me of the Santa I saw in the shopping centre the other day.. Nobody lined up..

Team Winchester.. charming even when they were little.

Colin Ford looks more like Jared..

You just helped me to attract more stalkers!

Yeah.. and Dean doesn't know the lyrics to Silent Night.

Santa is a zombie..

I like how this scene has Silent Night playing in the background and the kid jumped when his mom screamed.

How do you know I change without shutting the blinds?

Sam's hair is shorter..

I love the sound of the Impala...

If Cas was in season 3 of Supernatural and appeared in the Xmas episode... I wonder how the episode will be like..

Bing Cosby... Ally McBeal.. Love Actually.... The lot! Dean loves it..

I love love LOVE the young Sam and Dean...

Monsters are real.. John is a superhero..

HAHAHA... Yeah, I have an angel on my Xmas Tree

Yeah... and she's gonna eat you Dean

OH FUDGE

What's the point of having a bin there when sharping the wooden thing and the stuff fly off bin

Why is the sofa wrapped in plastic? Meaning they move around or it's easier to wipe blood?

Oh fudge... Evil Mr and Mrs Santa are blackbelt champion

Dean: If you fudging touch me, I'll fudging kill ya!

The boys are saved by the belt

I watched this episode with Eric Kripke's commentary.. I love Kripke's commentary

And that Gingerbread house was still there after all that..

Who would've thought the amulet is the God EMF

Have yourself a merry little xmas.. I'm gonna cry

Dean: Merry Xmas Sam..

Dean: Fuel for me, fuel for my baby

I didn't realise Dean said: "Merry Xmas Bro'

Sam looked at Dean a few times, but he didn't say anything... It was heart warming.

I remember Kripke said in the commentary that his family called him and said "what's wrong with you?" after they watched this episode

A Very Supernatural Xmas was done in the Supernatural fashion.. which is unique. Nice work!!!

I love the Winchester Family episode..!!

I am actually watching the 'Scene Specific' of A Very Supernatural Xmas now

Eric Kripke: "I want the boys to kill someone with the Xmas tree."

That's all tweeps. I am working on a few things atm, there will be a 2009 review, a blog post on my all time favorite Supernatural episodes and episode review of The Curious Case of Dean Winchester and The Real Ghostbusters.

Some holiday viewing: Lost season 4 & 5. Can anyone just tell me who the bloody hell Jacob is?

Supernatural news digest

There isn't much going on, but this just came through a few hours ago. Some spoilers from E!Online.

There will be a zombie episode which we will see Bobby's dead wife; Dean is not going to be happy about what Sam is about to do; and Chuck will return but not with Becky.

And here is an interview with Misha Collins/ TV Guide.




Is it just me or have Jensen and Jared gone really quiet with press interviews?

Supernatural Spoiler: Latest Casting Call (Could this be who I think is it?)

Thanks for SpoilerTV and Hunters' Addicts, here is the latest casting call for episode 5.16 Dark Side of the Moon.

Producers: Jim Michaels, Todd Aronauer
Director: Jeff Woolnough
Shoot Dates: 11th Jan 2010 - 20th Jan 2010

[JOSHUA] This benevolent -- dignified, very Zen man in his 50’s-70’s is inflappable, simple, but not insincere. A Morgan Freemen type vibe. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. GUEST STAR

Tiny's comment: I am feeling God! When I first read this, I am thinking this is either Michael or God.. But the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking about God. Your thoughts?

And here is the new TV promo of Sam, Interrupted.

Supernatural: New episode titles revealed (updated)

Episode titles for 5.11 to 5.16 have been released by the CW. Source SpoilerTV. I have also included whatever information I could dig from the internet including some of the latest interviews with Sera Gamble, Misha Collins and Julie McNiven.

5.11: Sam, Interrupted (21 January 2010)
Directed by James Conway.
Written by Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin

In an recent interview with Sera Gamble, she said "..the boys are contacted by a hunter who had worked a case that was so traumatic that he went crazy. He’s been voluntarily living in an insane asylum and something not right is happening there, and he calls the boys. So Sam and Dean check themselves in...."
Dabb and Loflin wrote Yellow Fever, After School Special and Jump the Shark in Season 4. They also wrote I Believe the Children Are Our Future in Season 5.

This episode looks super intense to me, which is different, because in the past, when the show came back from the winter hiatus, we often get fillers like Ghostfacers (season 3) and Family Remains (Season 4). They are great episodes, but when we come back from a long hiatus, we want something a bit solid.

5.12: Swap Meat
Director: Robert Singer
Writers: Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin

Also from Sera's interview: "
We’re also doing a body swap episode, Sam with a human—that’s all I will say. Fans have been clamoring for it for five seasons. The last thing I can tell you is that we will be further exploring the secrets of the Winchester family and Sam and Dean’s past. There’s more to reveal there."

More secrets about the Winchester Family? Holy crap!

5.13: Back to the Future II
Directed by Steve Boyum

Expect to see Anna returns. She will go back to the past and tried to kill young Sam. We will also see the young/ newlywed Mary and John.

There are some minor spoilers on this particular episode from the latest interview with Misha Collins and Julie McNiven. Check it out here.

I love the Winchester Family centric episode (like Home and In the Beginning.)

5.14: My Bloody Valentine

Your 3D glass is required to watch this episode.

From Sera's interview: "
We will be doing a very dark and sinister Valentine’s Day episode. It’s an exploration of the nature of love and desire, which can be very destructive."

Update: Info on casting call

This episode is looking for Famine (one of the four Horsemen) and Cupid. Details
here. TV Guide also posted a bit more information on the casting. Read it here.

5.15: Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

I haven't heard anything major for this episode. There were some casting calls, that's about it. SpoilerTV.

5.16: Your Whole Life Flashes Before Your Eyes
Sounds like this could be an episode where the boys will see heaven. That's my guess.

Having a fangirl moment - TV's Sexiest Men of 2009 by BuddyTV

It's this time of the year.. BuddyTV released their very own 'TV's Sexiest Men of 2009'. Here are a few I do care about.

#49 Tom Welling (Smallville)

I think Tom should have made it to top 10!


#41 Jared Padalecki (Supernatural)

WHAT? Sammy didn't make it to top 10? MAD! And they didn't have a good picture of Jared! But I found this instead.. Enjoy.


#29 Misha Collins

Minions! We are so proud of our Master.



#21 Justin Hartley (Smallville)

OK.. I like Green Arrow the character, I think Justin is ok. But I don't think he is sexier than Tom.


#6 Jensen Ackles
Oh Jensen! FAINT.. Dean back from hell and looking sexier than ever! It doesn't matter what you wear or even if you don't wear anything...


Want to see the rest of the results? Go to BuddyTV.

Lunch time reading - Interview with Sera Gamble (Spoilery)

Alice Jester is awesome for posting this interview on The Winchester Family Business. You can read the full article/ Q&A here. But I've picked a few interesting points below purely based on my very own fangirl nerdy view.

Beware of spoilers:

Question (Alice): I'm still trying to wrap my head around how these angels keep bringing up the parallels between Michael and Lucifer and Dean and Sam. Are they doing it to justify their concept of pre-destiny? Don't they see Sam and Dean have reconciled from their betrayal of each other and are determined to fight together? Or does none of that matter to them once the betrayal is done?

(Answer) Sera: Sam and Dean may have reconciled, but that doesn’t negate the parallels between their history and Lucifer and Michael’s. Their family stories are still eerily similar. And yeah, from the angels’ perspective, it’s all well and good that Sam and Dean think they’re gonna fight together—but they’re the predestined vessels, so ultimately they’re gonna give in.

(Blogger Comment) Tiny: Ultimately they're gonna give in??? Holy crap.. does it mean they will both say YES eventually?

(Question) Elle: Lucifer was able to take hold of his back-up vessel in lieu of Sam. Any chance that Michael has a back-up and we’ll be able to meet this character without Dean’s consent to being “an angel condom”?

(Answer) Sera: You will meet Michael soon. I can’t say more about the form he will take.

(Blogger Comment) Tiny: OK, here are my speculations on the 'form' which Michael could take.. He is either Jeffrey Dean Morgan or the plan B vessel will be a female.

Talking about JDM, many of us are dying to see JDM to return to the show, but we don't want to see him to come back as a vessel. But I think if JDM is returning to the show, I don't want to see him just to appear as a ghost or in the boys' dream. I will be very happy to see JDM as John Winchester in a flashback episode, but that's not gonna happen. So in reality, IF he is coming back to the show, he has to return as a vessel of an archangel or God.

(Question) Elle2: Any hints on when Dean is going to get his amulet back – or isn’t he?

(Answer) Sera: The amulet figures into an upcoming episode. If I directly answer your question, I’ll give too much away about both Dean and Cas. Not to mention God.

(Blogger Comment) Tiny: God is found and he is not on any flat bread. Let the amulet burn! Burn baby burn!

(Question) Elle2: Any insight into Bobby’s continued development in the second half of Season 5?

(Answer) Sera: A case will bring Sam and Dean to Bobby’s town. That episode brings new insight into Bobby’s current state of mind and also expands his backstory.

(Blogger Comment) Tiny: Finally!! More Bobby backstory! And whoever wants Bobby to die.. screw you! Clearly you're possessed by stunt demon #5.

(Question) Alice: Wow, the 100th episode is coming up! Who'd have thunk? Any big plans for that one in particular?

(Answer) Sera: Party, of course. My only firm plan is to have a couple of drinks with the crew. Bob Singer promised he’d play guitar. You didn’t mean the actual content of the episode, did you?

(Blogger Comment) Tiny: I am going to bake a birthday cake and I don't bake cakes! EVER!
