There’s not a more dedicated fanbase for a TV show.
15. Dean Acts Like A Dog
At times, Supernatural will break our hearts and the emotional turns send us for more Kleenex. Then other times the series decides to see how eccentric it can be. It’s a roller coaster every fan knows and has happily embraced. “Dog Dean Afternoon” is a fan favorite and the more down to earth of the ridiculous plots. The episode finds Sam and Dean investigating two murders with the only witness turning out to be a dog.
So the obvious decision here is for Dean to cast a spell so he can communicate with the dog, known as the Colonel, and question him. He doesn’t expect the dog-like side effects that come along with the spell, such as hanging his head out a window, yelling at the mailman and, arguably one of the best scenes of the series, Dean arguing with a pigeon. In his defense, the pigeon had an attitude and threatened Dean’s beloved car.
The Colonel aids Sam and Dean in the investigation, which leads them to a chef consuming animals in order to gain certain traits. The Colonel is a delightful character who challenges Dean and even criticizes his music. The episode makes us want the brothers to have a talking dog that helps them solve cases. The episode ends with Dean leading a pack of dogs against the chef for some overdue justice. The Colonel gets his own happy ending when Dean finds him a happy new home.
14. How Can The Fandom Scare Us Today?
Supernatural loves bad guys to be devilishly charming with clever banter, evil plans and delightful frenemy relationships with the brothers. Mark Pellegrino’s line delivery and charm made for a devil of a delightful character. Pellegrino’s Lucifer is a constant thorn in Sam and Dean’s side, but fans wouldn’t have it any other way. His introduction comes in Season 4 when he possesses Sam, but, as with nearly every character in Supernatural, Lucifer never stays gone for long before popping back up.
Lucifer returns in Season 12 to continue to wreak havoc, which includes a brief stint as a rock star, played by Rick Springfield. The season ends with the birth of his son, Jack. Season 13 largely focuses on Lucifer trying several different avenues for his life, every attempt leading to comedic results, like how he completely fails at ruling Heaven and the often extreme attempts at creating a bond with his son. He follows them over to the apocalypse world where he does a number of “good” deeds, including bringing Sam back to life. Lucifer quickly takes a turn from comedic frenemy back into the villain when he tricks Jack into traveling the universe with him before stealing his son’s grace and attacking Sam. Despite the character’s dramatic exit at the end of the season, the Supernatural fandom proudly declares their love for Lucifer, even if it creeps out everyone on Tumblr.
