I didn't love show on first viewing of season one, but then i went back and did a re-watch and found that i'd somehow missed a LOT of episodes. so...yeah. season two is still my favorite.

Season 2 was the one that pulled me in, after "Wendigo" and "Dead in the Water" completely failed to engage my interest. Looking back Season 1 was pretty hit-or-miss, though if I'd seen the pilot first and stuck around for "Phantom Traveler" and "Skin" after the two duds I'd likely have been a fan from the start.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fucking hell, Skin. My loins do dirty things just thinking about Shifter!Dean looking over his shoulder to the music and the noise of the SWAT team.
Maybe not everyone has my buttons.

I looked through the ratings while looking up episode order, and guess what the most-watched episode ever was?
The racist truck episode.
Ratings quickly dropped off by a couple million viewers after that, which surprises me not at all.

Because books.

I didn't think they were duds at all. Wendigo had the "saving people, hunting things" line, and Dead in the Water had Dean saving a drowning kid (plus lots of vulnerable!Dean talking to the kid, and Amy Acker).
I just remember watching the pilot and loving the way the two of them bickered and snarked, and a total OMGWTF "I can't believe they really did that" moment when they killed Sam's girlfriend.
I love S2 just a bit more than S1, but I think that's usual -- a show generally needs some time to find it's rhythm. I didn't hate S3, although it was uneven and a shame that they had to fast-forward through the arc due to the strike. Still a lot of good stuff in there, for me.
Who am I kidding, I love it all. I'll even watch Bugs for the brotherly stuff, and Sam working out his daddy issues with the spider-loving kid, and I can't give up Route 666 because you get Sam boggling at Dean's love life *and* Dean's muscular naked back during sex.

Maybe not all of your buttons, but a hell of a lot of them.

Apparently some of the Netflix streaming eps don't have the right music? Like one (but just one) is missing Carry On Wayward Son...

Cafe de labeill is being cute in a way I can survive, even giving the premise-- fem!Cas gives birth to a daughter for Dean that he names Zeppelin. Something about that level of absurdity leavens the sugar for me. Also, Sam has a bitchface.
Make sure you click on each one so you can see the proper level of detail.
