Decided I'm gonna use blizzard-time to give Supernatural a chance. I watched the pilot and it was surprisingly decent. A couple friends of mine have told me the first season is a little iffy, but it gets pretty reliably good by season 2. Is that pretty accurate? And, if so, what are the key season 1 episodes to watch so I won't be lost if I jump right into season 2?

OK, we'll let you watch Supernatural but you have to watch the racist truck episode all the way through.

# ? Jan 27, 2015 01:12 |

The first season is campy monster fun with small hints of a future story arc. There's maybe 2 episodes that are painful to get through, at the worst really there's stretches of mediocrity in there. I'd watch it all the way through though cause a lot of the series builds on the groundwork of season 1's monster mythology.

Yeah bugs and route 666(the racist truck) are the only bad eps of s1.

It's all good except Route 666, aka the "Racist Truck" episode, which itself is worth watching just to get an indication of how bad Supernatural can be. If you absolutely must just watch key episodes, try episodes 4 (Phantom Traveler), 6 (Skin), 7 (Hook Man), 9 (Home), 12 (Faith), 14 (Nightmare), 16 (Shadow), 17 (Hell House), 20 (Dead Man's Blood), and the final two 21 & 22. Each of these episode touch on mythology referenced later on.

If you want to skip ahead unfortunately I'm on my phone and can't easily get you a list of key episodes, but I'm pretty sure you'd be safe watching the first and last few episodes of season 1, and maybe one or two others in the middle but I'm not in a position to say exactly which ones right now.

Season 1 is okay but the episodes are extremely formulaic hitting a lot of the same story beats each episode. Things get better by the end of the season when they shake things up a bit.

Manos del Sino posted:It's all good except Route 666, aka the "Racist Truck" episode, which itself is worth watching just to get an indication of how bad Supernatural can be. At this stage "Racist Truck" is kind of a must watch. Not only is it unanimously considered the worst episode so you always have that to assure you things never get that bad again, but at some point they just start referencing the thing and making fun of it in the show itself. If you skip Racist Truck then you miss the joy of laughing at it down the line. You can totally follow Manos' list if you just want to mainline right into the meta storyline. It looks like it hits all the key stuff for the main story. But honestly, most of S1 is pretty solid stuff and pretty much every episode has a callback sooner or later. So even if you skip them the first time around if you end up liking the show you should go back and watch the first season anyway. But it IS formulaic and "monster of the week" stuff. Things can feel a little pointless until you see the overarching plot, and that takes a little while (unless you follow that abbreviated list).

Season 1 it was still "uh, we might get cancelled" and the attitude carried forward into the start of season 2 before they were able to go all in with their 5 year plan and start laying the groundwork for multi-season plots with a tied up ending at the end of season 5. Then they got more seasons, and had to tack on a stinger to lead into season 6. 6 is definitely out of place and just plain weird. Season 7/8/9 are tied together by a few central concepts and get good after a point. Season 10 is turning out to be a lot of wheel spinning and waiting for something big to happen, and since they've greenlit season 11, and have promised to keep making the show as long as the ratings stay stable (and they do) it could go on even long. The absolute best by far is season 4/5, when everything starts to pay off in a big way and the size of the in-show universe is blown open. I would also say to watch the motw episodes, because some of them are pretty good, and by season 7 and on you don't get many of them. There's a great episode in season 8 after the stakes have skyrocketed beyond belief where Sam and Dean are just chilling and Sam spots a news story about mysterious animal killings, gets excited and goes "This could be an straight up monster hunt, like we used to!" I'd say my favorite motw episodes are - the mysterious ghost serial killer It's H.H Holmes - the one where a boy's stuffed animal comes to life and begs for death The boy is nephilem, has god-like powers and is confused - Kronos the god of time - Anything with Ghostchasers - Where Dean meets an old flame, sees a kid that might be his and freaks out the entire episode - Any episode with Rufus ("No, I'm pretty sure its 7 times, not 9") - The locked down town that's a cult (Castiel gets crazy drunk) pentyne fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Jan 27, 2015 |

Just finished the second episode, and though not bad, it seemed totally skippable. So I'll probably move forward with that list posted above, plus any episodes with synopses that pull me in, plus Scarecrow which my friend said is the episode that hooked him, plus the racist truck episode, which I am really looking forward to now.
