Supernatural Review

So I've been watching Supernatural and this blog is going to be me going episode by episode with my opinions XD (I'm already on season 13 so some of these will be a real call back)

Season 1

Ep.1 Pilot: Honestly as far as pilots go this one was really solid. It caught me immediately by proposing the plot of 'missing father' immediately. Some pilots hit the pitfall of not wanting to introduce the extended storyline and therefore doesn't hook me on to want more. Some of the exposition dialogue is a little clunky, I can never get over Sam trying to explain the background of their childhood in a few sentences and it feels like choppy dialogue XD. "Man, we were raised like warriors (insert a while sentence explaining various ways they were raised like warriors)" This episode starts the constant trope of Sam basically getting assaulted by varying humans and supernatural creatures. Why is this a running gag?? Genuinely it happens so many times and it's so strange to me. 

Ep.2 Wendigo: WHY CAN'T THEY PRONOUNCE WENDIGO RIGHT?! I swear I could barely pay attention to the episode because they keep saying Wedeeego. Still, I think this is a solid episode, classic monster of the week style. I don't have much to say about it, but it kind of sets the tone for more of the latter episodes where they have to work with and save people who don't know what these things are rather than it just being the two of them against the police or those who don't understand.

Ep.3 Dead in the Water: I really liked the twist in this episode, and it really started to develop Dean as a character. Sam had a clearer personality from the start but this episode dives deeper into Dean's motives and background. Overall it was a fairly simple episode but it was done really well, especially with suspense. The concept that in each and every body of water near the lake, such as a bathtub, something could come up and grab you is inherently chilling. Definitely has the makings of a great horror flick condensed into an episode that adds pieces of an overarching storyline throughout a show.
