"Of all the things we've hunted, how many existed just because people believed in them?"- Sam Winchester
For all of my love for my favorite show ever, Supernatural, I thought that it would be in order to finally reveal (to whoever cares to know) my top twenty favorite episodes of (in my opinion, BuddyTV.com's opinion, TV Guide's opinion and the December 2008 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine's opinion) the best television series of our time. Here it goes....
#20: What Is And What Should Never Be
In this episode, Dean is attacked by a Djinn, which is in other words just a modern-day Genie. In the hallucination created for Dean by the Djinn, we get a glimpse into the "perfect" life that Dean has always dreamed of. Meanwhile, in reality, Sam is desperatley searching for his older brother and preparing for a showdown with the Djinn.
#19: I Know What You Did Last Summer
In this early episode of the fourth season, we learn of what Sam was up to during the four months in which Dean was tortured hell. This episode answers the questions of how Sam has learned to use his powers, the reason why Sam and Ruby have become much closer and how Sam tried to trade himself for Dean in Hell. Also, this episode features the first appearance of the fourth season's villain, Alastair.
#18: Shadow

#17: Magnificent Seven
In the third season premiere, Sam and Dean find themselves dealing with the deal that Dean made to bring Sam back from the dead while battling with the actual demons who embody the seven deadly sins.
#16: The Benders
This episode was a unique one beacause it examined the most deadly monster of all: Humans. After Sam is kidnapped by a family of cannibals, Dean goes searching for his younger brother along with a female deputy whose very own brother was kidnapped a few years prior. Dean soon finds himself in the same situation as Sam. This episode thoroughly demonstrates Dean's mastery in hand-to-hand combat for the very first time.
#15: After School Special
This episode reveals to us in flashbacks what High School was like for Dean and Sam. It turns out that Dean was very popular while Sam was taunted with being bullied and teased harshly. While on a case, Sam learns that a bully as well as a childhood friend from his childhood have both committed suicide and it's implied that Sam was the cause.
#14: A Very Supernatural Christmas
In this special episode, we come across Sam and Dean around christmas time while they investigate a series of people who've gone missing and most likley killed. It's Dean's last year to live before his deal comes due and just for old time's sake, he wants to have a christmas for the first time in a very long time while Sam on the other hand doesn't want to be bothered because it would be a sign of defeat.
#13: On the Head of a Pin
Castiel and Uriel have captured Alastair and they want Dean to torture him using the special techniques that he learned in hell. Anna returns, Castiel and Uriel have a showdown and Uriel is revealed to be a heretic. It's revealed that Dean broke the first seal of the sixty-six that need to be broken in order to release Lucifer from Hell when he broke under the torture during his forty years (in Hell time) in Hell.
#12: Heart
Dean and Sam have come across a case where a woman believes she is being stalked by her ex-boyfriend who may likley be a werewolf. Sam falls deeply in love with the woman who his brother and himself are trying to help, and it's the first time Sam has felt this way for a woman since Jessica's death at Stanford University but when it's revealed that she's actually the werewolf, Sam has to make a heartbreaking decision to let her live or to take her life.
#11: In My Time of Dying
In this second season opening, Sam, Dean and John are all in the hospital after a demon smashed a semi-trailer truck into the Impala. Sam and John's physical damage is minimal while Dean lays unconscious and is trapped in between the afterlife and the physical plane while being tempted to enter the afterlife by a reaper named Tess. John deals his soul to Azazel to save Dean's life.
#10: All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1
In the second season pre-finale, Sam is teleported to a ghost town filled with demons, and in the meantime, he leads the rest of Azazel's special children who were also teleported to the same location. In this episode, Sam and Jake Talley, a superstrong Afghanistan War soldier, fight to the death.... Sam's death.
#9: Home
Sam and Dean go to an old friend of their father's named Missouri Mosley (from Supernatural: Origins #1) for help in order to kill away a poltergeist that's been haunting a single mother and her daughter who now live in Sam and Dean's old home where their mother died over two decades ago. John Winchester appears for the first time since the origin story of the pilot episode and his presence is none other than simply memorable.
#8: In The Beginning
This episode is a homage to the short-lived but terrific series, Journeyman, which was created by Kevin Falls whom happens to be a high school friend of Supernatural's creator, Eric Kripke. In this episode, Dean is teleported by Castiel to 1973 where Dean comes across his parents John and Mary in their twenties. This episode is litterally FILLED with answers to mysteries that were born in the early parts of the first and second seasons respectively. The biggest revelation: Dean and Sam's mother, Mary, was born and raised as a hunter of the supernatural.
#7: Lucifer Rising
In the fourth season finale, all of the seals have broken except for one: Lilith's death. Sam and Ruby track Lilith down to a Convent while Dean argues with Castiel and Zachariah to get to Sam before he has the chance to kill Lilith and break the final seal. Castiel later breaks protocol by helping Dean escape from Zachariah but unfortunatley, Sam kills Lilith and unknowinly breaks the final seal and allows Lucifer to rise from Hell. Sam and Dean finally kill Ruby after she is revealed to have been manipulating Sam from the start.
#6: Pilot
Twenty-two years after the death of their mother, Sam and Dean begin their search for their father who has gone missing without a trace but along the way, Sam and Dean come across a case that their father seemed to have been working on before he went missing: A Woman in White. Upon returning to his dorm, Sam is met with tragedy when his girlfriend, Jessica, is killed in the same manner as his mother was when he was a baby. This unfortunate event sets off the rest of the series and begins the epic adventure we all know.
#5: Heaven and Hell
This is the second part to "I Know What You Did Last Summer". In this winter-finale episode, Sam and Dean are faced with a standoff against Castiel and Uriel who want Anna, a revealed fallen angel and the woman who Dean has grown to have feelings for, dead. In the climatic fight of act three, an all-out battle between Sam, Dean, Anna, Ruby, Castiel, Uriel and Alastair along with his demons prooves to be a battle of blood until Anna steals back her grace from Uriel and incinerates damn near everything in the area. It is revealed that Dean willingly tortured souls in Hell for forty years in Hell's Time.
#4: Jus In Bello
When Sam and Dean are set up by Bela, Agent Henricksen from the second season shows up to claim the brothers after a year-long and desperate search. When Dean and Sam are taken into federal custody while awaiting transport at a local county jail, a multitude of thirty to fifty demons surround and eventually attack the station with primarily only Sam, Dean and Henricksen to fight the outnumbering demons. This episode prooved to be the most action-packed episode of the entire series, topping even the action in season four.
#3: No Rest For The Wicked
Dean's deal has come due and he, Sam and Bobby are desperate to find Lilith and kill her to break Dean's deal and save his life. As the time draws closer and closer to Dean's fateful last night on earth, he fights with Ruby after Sam summons her in order to gain her mystical knife which is the only thing that can be used to kill Lilith. This episode ends in Dean's death by being ripped to shreds by a hellhound and with Sam left all alone in the world. The final scene reveals Dean hung with hooks through his flesh while being suspended on endless chains in Hell.
#2: Lazarus Rising
In the fourth season premiere, Dean awakens in a pine box and soon climbs out of his own grave. After a heartfelt reunion with Bobby and later Sam, Dean ponders what could've pulled him out of Hell and returned him to his life on earth. That night, while Sam goes on his own to kill demons at a diner from earlier in the episode, Dean and Bobby face off against what they think is a demon that pulled Dean from Hell but the entity is quickly revealed to be Castiel, an angel under the orders of Heaven and God himself.
And the winner is....
#1: All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2
This episode is my favorite because it's just simply an epic and game-changing episode as well as a well-done and fantastically written finale. This episode picks up where part one left off: Sam is dead and Dean is left to live without his brother. Dean races to a crossroads and summons a crossroads demon where he makes a deal to bring Sam back from the dead and in return, he'd have only a single year left to live. After Sam returns to the physical plane of life, the brothers enlist the help of Bobby Singer and fatefully, Ellen Harvelle.
The four go to the Devil's Gate (a gateway to Hell) that's placed in a old cowboy cemetery in order to stop Jake Talley from opening the Devil's Gate and litterally allowing all of hell to break loose. Sam ends up killing Jake with five bullets to the chest, Bobby and Ellen close the gate to hell, Dean ends up finally killing Azazel and John Winchester's spirit is freed from hell. The episode ends with a mirror-image of the pilot episode with Dean throwing the Colt into the trunk and Sam standing at his brother's side. Both are preparing to hunt for the demons that got released from hell and more importantly to save Dean's life within a year's time.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed this blog that took me seven hours to write! Stay tuned for more....
