The Winchester Boys

SupernaturalLogo-11.jpg

The story of 2 brothers who are trained as kids to hunt demons by their father who is obsessed with finding and killing the demon that killed their mother. When their father goes missing on a hunt, they are forced to team back up to search for him.

Sam Winchester

Sam%20Winchester.JPG

The smarter and younger of the two Winchester brothers. He's the nice guy with the boy next door good looks. He leaves law school to reconnect with his brother to help find their missing father. A tragedy later on gets him back in the hunting business full-time. Portrayed by Jared Padalecki whom you might remember as Rory's first boyfriend in Gilmore Girls (I know I do)

Dean Winchester

He smolders with generic rage. He's the bad boy of the group. Doesn't take crap from anyone. Looks death in the face and makes a snarky comment. He's the older of the brothers and definitely a lot less moral then his younger brother Sam. He is old enough to remember the tragedy that took their Mom and is a lot closer to their father as he has spent his entire life hunting with him. Played by Jensen Ackles which is sort of a ridiculous name.

John Winchester

The father of the main characters, he goes missing on a hunt which forces the brothers to get back together to search for him. He watched his wife get murdered by a demon and dedicated his life to tracking and killing said demon, dragging his two young children into a difficult life hunting spirits. Played by the always awesome Jeffrey Dean Morgan.


Basically every episode revolves around the brothers hunting some sort of mythological spirit, wendigos, shape-shifters, ghosts, angry spirits, reapers, etc... There are 6 seasons on Netflix right now and the 7th season is currently airing right now with just a couple of episodes left to go.

My wife and I started watching this a couple of weeks ago kind of on a whim and it's been a very pleasant surprise. We are about halfway through season 2 right now but I've had a lot of the future spoiled for me already by so called "friends" who like to run their damn mouths!!!

Anyway, talk about the show, try to label spoilers even if they did happen 5 years ago or whatever.

    Yeah, I'm only on the second season but I've already had a lot of stuff spoiled for me. Doesn't ruin anything though because frankly, I love the individual episode stories a lot more than the overall story so having that spoiled isn't a big deal

    gonna go against everything everyone else says but keep watching after season 5, especially if you like the individual story episodes

    season 6 and the current season 7 has some good stuff

    I definitely plan on watching all of it. It's just slow going because I can only watch when my wife and I are both home and that just isn't that common of an event these days.

    Like most of these sorts of shows, it takes a little while to get past the monster of the week formula and start bringing in more mythology/continuity but once it does that it's a lot of fun.

    this show

    Sweet sweet castiel

    Also def agree with TLB in that everyone should keep watching past season 5. The main season bd guys are kinda blah but some of the reent standalone episodes have been phenomenal. They have to fight a ghost that can only be seen when you're stone cold drunk! They fight amazons!

    Also I feel like its been a while since we've seen the ghostfacers

    I'll give the CW a chance now that I've liked one of the shows on there. Technically, I watch Vampire Diaries on the CW as well but that's only because it's on when I'm home because my wife is in love with the damn show.

    Didn't they take that to a web series spinoff kind of thing? I remember just watching a commercial for that in the middle of a regular episode

    But I honestly prefer Monster of the Week to continuity and season arcs
    It's why Primeval became so awful after a fun first season
    Or why later X-Files is equally lacklustre

    I like the monster of the week stuff too but I think that if you don't have that bigger picture stuff, MotW gets boring pretty quickly.

    Yeah, Supernatural seems to do a good job blending monster of the week with a longer narrative. If you don't have the background stuff then there is no incentive to keep watching the show, or to watch it in an semblance of an order.

    I liked the first season or so also, because I noticed they often tried fresh things with the hunts instead of constantly reusing a single formula or two.

    Also I drewed them:
