Top 50 SPN Episodes

[amberdreams]

I saw a couple of EW articles listing top 40 episodes out of the 300, or trying to rank every episode (meep!), so I thought I'd have a go at a top 40. Then I discovered I can't limit it to just 40, so mine's a top 50.

I'm a bit sad that so many of my faves are early seasons, but at least there are some on the list that are more recent. I tried to rank them within the list but that was too hard - so these aren't really in any particular order of preference.

So here it is, my top 50 Supernatural episodes up to and including 300

1. Lazarus Rising


2. The End


3. When the Levee Breaks


4. Just my Imagination


5. In my time of dying


6. Devil’s Trap


7. All Hell Breaks Loose part 2


8. All Hell Breaks Loose part 1


9. Baby


10. The Pilot


11. Lebanon


12. Nightshifter


13. Mystery Spot


14. The Benders


15. Jus in Bello


16. Sacrifice


17. Abandon Hope


18. Changing Channels


19. The French Mistake


20. Swan Song


21. What is and Should Never Be


22. Born under a Bad Sign


23. Croatoan


24. Heart


25. Faith


26. Red Meat


27. Sex and Violence


28. On the Head of a Pin


29. The Usual Suspects


30. Clap Your Hands if You Believe


31. Frontierland


32. Monster Movie


33. Slash Fiction


34. Folsom Prison Blues


35. Yellow Fever

*round of applause!*

Such a wonderful list, and filled with so many highlights!!! I really must try to so that top 10 list, but it's just so hard...

It is hard! Even doing 50 I had to discard some good uns....

I salute you and your amazing effort. Honestly, after about Season four I can't remember the episode titles, even if I can recall the plot of "the one where..." Without Superwiki and IMDB, I'd be lost.

So, go you! You definitely picked a lot of excellent eps.

Ah, I made good use of the EW's full list and looked up a bunch - I have the same problem of not remembering episode titles after season 5!

[zelda-zee.livejournal.com]

Good job! All my favorites are on your list. 😀

Wow, that's quite an achievement and a fantastic list! I think my top 50 would be very similar.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Great minds, hey? :D

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think my top fifty would include a lot of these. As I've just started a complete rewatch, that seems like a good excuse to try to compile my own top fifty!!!

Go for it!

What a feat! Bravo!! (I can't imagine trying to rank them as well! Impossible!!) Excellent episodes all 'round. :DD

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Nope, ranking is impossible, beyond maybe a handful that are definitely my go-to episodes!
