As a whole Supernatural is my perfect show: The calloused underbelly of America, urban folklore, gore and horror, characters irrevocably severed from society, incest subtext, Christian theology, and two super hot guys. And the show itself may "bad" but what churns underneath the bad acting and cheesy one-liners makes me rock fucking hard.

Dean Winchester may be my character of all time. My madonna and my whore. My dirtbitch. My sweetest sigh and brutal blade. He's overtly masculine (actually painfully so) but paralleled and subtexted to hell with femininity. Burdened with family - to live with a wife's duty and mother's obligation, a son's need and a brother's trust. Fated to a doomed love. Fated to live tragically and die tragically. Fated to triumph but not before falling again and again.

Disclaimer: I'm a spn purist - I believe the show should've ended at season 5 and the sharp decline in quality after that finale makes it nigh unwatchable. To me spn isn't worth watching past season 6 (which gets a pass because there's just enough loin tingling moments to get through). I wasn't really an og Supernatural fan i.e. Superwholocker. I did watch a good bite of it during the fandom peak out of obligation. It was a case of right people wrong time but now the clocks are ticking in sync.
