I stopped watching the show partway into the first season because I thought it was just X-Files for a younger crowd. Stuff like the hitchhiking ghost who has sex with you had me rolling my eyes.
It wasn't until much later that I gave the show a second chance based on word of mouth, saw how nice the season one finale was, and watched all the subsequent episodes.
Well yeah, the beginning was kind of rough.
And the low point was definitely episode 13, racist ghost car. But it sure as hell picked up after that and never looked back.
Also; 5 things in all creation? You gotta wonder what other creatures are immune to the colt, besides angels.

God, Michael...
And it'd be pretty cool if that gun couldn't kill Sam or Dean. It'd be kind of pointless...and the more seconds I spend thinking about it, it seems increasingly stupid...but whatever.
hey hey for those of you have read Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett's book Good Omens
it contains
an English demon named Crowley who conspires with a renegade angel to stop the apocalypse because he doesn't want to die and he actually likes the material world.

i am like 99% sure this is a direct reference
I noticed that too seeing as I only just read the book this year

People in here will disagree with me, but the first two-to-three seasons were about as good as the show could get. It still has plenty of moments, but I find the later seasons' writing/acting has been slowly getting lazier.
You are wrong, Larlar.
You might be right. But overall the show is aces in my book. I hate that I have to wait until the end of January almost.

Okay, I'm SLIGHTLY more excited about it if he really does what he's talking about here:
SN502_D2745b If there’s a sixth season, how do you top the apocalypse?
Well, the trick is to not go big but go intimate – at least those are the initial conversations we’ve had [if the show is picked up for a sixth season]. We always set up this five-year storyline, because in my heart of hearts, I just never imagine we’d actually go five years, much less beyond. We are going to climax the storyline and really wrap up the story of Satan and Michael and the apocalypse. The big question is, how do you follow that? We look at this as a unique challenge but also an opportunity to really launch a new storyline next year. We’re almost looking at it as the sequel to a movie. Rather than as a lot of genre shows do as they get on in years, becoming so convoluted and almost collapsing under their own mythology and getting to the point where you just can’t follow any of it anymore, we’re really looking forward to the opportunity of just sweeping it all clean and starting over with something else. We talk about returning to a stripped-down version of the show that’s almost similar to season one, in which the mythology was just as simple as finding their father and finding something that’s really personal and meaningful to Sam and Dean. One of the things that’s hard about the end of the world is sometimes it’s hard to have your characters emotionally connect with it, because it’s so big. But if their emotional storyline for, say, season six is to save a loved one, then that’s something you can really understand and get behind and actually have some really emotional storytelling that takes you through a lot of the scary episodes.

The colt was designed to kill things that are evil, right? I imagine angels are immune to it by default, even bad ones.
If the Knife couldn't kill Castiel then maybe the colt works the same way.

I've been reading that Kripke is talking about actually wanting to do a season 6, now, which makes me ... not excited. At all.
