I'll get right on that.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Dean with a Yorkie still cracks me up, though.
First thing I thought of when he started telling about Icarus. "A cockapoo? That's a manly dog, right?"

Okay, if I did S3 favorites I can't find it here, so I did that one. Picking five almost felt like cheating with only 16 episodes that season. S4 is HARD, man. I imagine I'll be twitching and weeping when I get to S5.

I can't narrow any season down to five eps, not going to make myself crazy trying. Sophie's Choice, man. Not that masochistic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wuss. I delight in the pain of others.

Heh. I delight in your frustration with my zen.

Well, I'm having major pain right now, so delight away.

As long as someone's hurting, I'm happy.

Favorite episodes, continued.
S3:
Kids Are All Right: Dean facing potential fatherhood was just a game-changer for me.
A Very Supernatural Christmas: Oh, BOYS. There is nothing about this episode I don't like.
Mystery Spot: Such a gut punch, from roaring funny to dead grim. SAM.
Jus In Bello: So good to see Hendricksen again, and to see him understand what these boys have been doing all along.
Time Is On My Side: This episode had a lot of meat for me. Dean facing his doom, Sam clinging to desperately to any hope (and Dean unwilling to cross lines, even to live). The ending is so grim, too, and such a horrible foreshadowing of what's coming for Dean.
S4:
In the Beginning: Blew me away. Mary was raised a hunter! I love this like Dean loves pie, even if the end is more hopeless than I wanted.
After School Special: Wee!Chesters can't be beat for me, and Sam's discussions with his teacher just killed me.
Sex and Violence: So telling, and so painful.
It's a Terrible Life: Funny but sharply so, very pointed. And a fantastic look at what Zachariah is capable of.
When the Levee Breaks: This episode breaks me. Broken Sam is so … broken. And the confrontation with all its echoes of past arguments is so painful.
S5:
The End: Ugh. 2014!Dean is frightening, and so is Cas. All kinds of heartbreak here, mostly now!Dean's, and man it hurts good.
Abandon All Hope: This is Team Free Will for me, too. Made me cry like no other episode.
The Song Remains the Same: Young John is so innocent, and Sam's conversation with him was such a change from early!Sam, it just … hurt. It hurt to know that nothing would happen differently, in the end.
Dark Side of the Moon: Brotherly angst for the motherfucking win. And more glimpses of wee!Chesters.
Swan Song: No words. Impala as home. BOYS, brothers, family.
I officially hate this game now. Gah.

Attagirl, Amy.
I checked against my list, and we overlap by three episodes each season, pretty much. I think you're wronger than a wrong thing where you differ from me, but it's not like I don't like the episodes you picked. Just, you know, that I'm right.
It strikes me that the EndVerse made a bigger impact on fic than the TerribleLifeVerse. Is that a fair estimate? Is that because it's just so much more awful? And I swear D/C is fanon past or present in just about every fic I read in that verse.
