Supernatural Season One: Top Episodes



If you have read our blog you may have noticed I write a lot of lists.  I am a list freak whether it's a shopping list, a to do list, or a list of top (insert subject here).  Due to my love of both lists and Supernatural I give to you my list of top five episodes from season one of the show.  Keep in mind that this is my opinion and you may agree or disagree.  If you do so let me know in the comments.  I'm always up to hear your thoughts.
I am going to include the episode name, number and a very, very brief summary for each episode plus my reasons for its ranking.  Here we go...



1: Pilot (1x01
Summary: Not much to say here. Started the show and introduced our wonderful lead characters Dean and Sam.
Why its #1: It started it all with both action and the typical dosage of Supernatural humor.  We got an insight into the supernatural world and it started some major plot lines like any good pilot should.

2: Home (1x9)
Summary: Sam and Dean return to their old house in Lawrence to help a family now living in the house.
Why #2: I love all the heart in this one. The boys have to go back to the home they left and their mother died in all those years ago.  In addition there's is the wonderful psychic Missouri whom we meet and puts Dean in check.  I wish she would have appeared again in the series.d

3: Devils Trap (1x22)
Summary: The finale episode of season one.  The boys learn that their father, John, has been captured and recruit friend Bobby for help.  After exorcising demon Meg, they learn where he is and track him down.  There they also find the yellow eyed demon.
Why #3:  First off, they finally find John again. Yay.  Secondly, the episodes brings Meg's storyline to an end. I was happy to see her go.   This is the first time that we meet the awesomeness that is Bobby Singer.  I love Bobby and am glad the character stuck around.  In addition, the cliff hanger to this episode is very good.  Do they live or not?  It kept me coming back for season 2.

4: Phantom Traveler (1x04)
Summary: Our heroes face a demon who crashes an air plane and then goes after each survivor from the crash one by one.
Why its #4:  I'm going to be honest I'm not 100% sure why I love this episode as much as I do.  I just always find it entertaining.  I like the fact that we learn about Dean's fear of flying, as well as that humming Metallica calms him down.  This is also the first time a demon is featured in the show and that the boys actually dress the part and use suits when they go to check out the scene.

5: Scarecrow (1x11)
Summary: The boys get into an argument and seperate for the first time since the pilot.  Sam heads to look for John and meets fellow traveler Meg. While Dean heads to a small town where couples have been disappearing.
Why #5:  "I hope your apple is freakin' worth it".  If you have yet to notice, Dean is my favorite and I love his great quotes.  This is another one where I'm not 100% sure why I love it.  Maybe its the drama: the boys fight and split up, later to be reunited and make up?  This episode also sets up Meg's storyline.  At first she seems like a nice girl, until the last scene.


Well, that is all for my list.  Once again, this is my opinion.  If you have any further thoughts let me know in the comments.  Not going to lie, coming up with just five was hard.  The first 2 were easy choices but the remaining three were tough to choose.  I hope to do season 2 soon as well as the remaining seasons.  I'm hoping season 3 will be easier since its shorter :).  Again, if you have thoughts regarding the other seasons and suggestions let me know.  I'd love to hear your thoughts.
