[janglyjewels]

I would like to be considered for this contest.

My favorite episode is Born Under a Bad Sign. This episode has Evil!Sam in it and I love Evil!Sam. It showed us what a great actor Jared Padalecki is. It gave us worried!Dean and that is always an awesome thing. Jensen Ackles is a phoenomenal actor.

i would like to be considered for the autographed shirt!! Supernatural puts all other shows to shame!

Best episode... easy, the benders from season one, what is and what should never be but it ties with nightshifter from season two.
The benders because it was incredible and showed everything i love about the show! Action, Jensen, drama, laughs and brotherly bonding. It also showed the humanity of the cop and that not all cops are bad. What is and what should never be i adored because it was great to see thier lives if thier mom had never died. Poor Dean! his scene, talking to his fathers gravestone brought me to tears
And nightshifter because it was awesome to revisit the old legend about shapeshifters and the end to, renegade by styx and the amazing swat costumes! BEST ENDING EVER! all episodes are great between the drama like in croatoan and the comdey like in hell house! definitly looking forward to seeing the hellhoundslair.com boys again in anothe episode soon!

I would like to be included in the contest, please. It's hard to choose favorites, but one of them is "Something Wicked" because it's where the boys' childhood memories first come into play. We literally get the picture of what Sam & Dean's lives were like when they were kids and how Dean was responsible for Sam.

please please please consider me for this contest. i love SN like nothing else. I've been with it since the pilot and have faithfully stayed with it since. it's my life, well at least a major part of it. i have to say most of my fav episodes come from season 1, but as a whole , there are definitely more great ones than below average ones. i gotta say my favorite one is "Skin." While i did watch and love the show from the first episode, "Skin" was the one that had me obsessed. i really enjoyed Dean as the shapeshifter. it was cool how they brought that creature back in "Nightshifter." Anyway, that episode made me a Jensen fan for forever. i originally watched the show for Jared, but i have to say Jensen is just as superb. Jeez i just love this show for the boys. really, who can get enough?

Wow this is like Sophie's Choice.... I don't want to have to choose. But if I have to I need to go with "What Is And What Never Should Be." My head tells me that I should choose something that's not so centered on one character but I'm too much of a Dean fan to do it. I love this episode too much!

This episode is everything that Supernatural is all about. It was emotional, funny, haunting and all around kick-ass. From it's classic rock title to the subtle "Pilot" throwback at the end it contained all the idiosyncrasies and attention to detail that puts SN head and shoulders above the rest. More than that however, it contained heart, real heart. I think this show is at it's heart about the fact we love and need our family no matter how abnormal or messed up our relationship is.

Like all of SNs best episode it works on so many levels and evokes so much genuine emotion. What's so great about this show is it forces it's protagonists to face their demons, both literal and metaphorical and that's EXACTLY what Dean had to do in this episode. He had to take a good hard look at what he'd always dreamed of and have the strength to reject it for the greater good. It was written brilliantly. From Dean's utter delight at actually being able to do something remotely normal (cut the grass) to his panic attack as he realized that the lives he saved in the other reality... were no longer saved. It had that trademark blocked emotion that Ackles and Padalecki make palpable through silent glances and plaintive nods. It really went to the core of Dean showing him as a genuinely selfless guy in that even his greatest wish is just for happiness for the ones he loves and he most sacrifice even that for the health and well fair of the world. Not to mention the eirree and jumpy feeling that are inspired by the images from Dean's pasts that haunt him.

The episode is perfection. Choose me please! I'll give you a cookie!!!

I'd like to be considered for the contest. I think my favorite episode is probably Nightshifter, because it was just so well-written and brought back a plot point from season one so well.

I would like to be considered for the shirt as well.

My favorite episode is definitely a tie between Croatoan and In My Time of Dying. Both episodes show that, in time of peril, the bond the between the brothers is stronger - even in death. Also, Croatoan gives insight on how torn up Dean really is on the inside, which just makes everyone go "aww". I'm a sucker for "aww" moments, if you couldn't tell. :]

Both episodes make me wish my brother and I had some sort of close-knit bond like they do. D:

This show friggin' rocks! It's one of my favourite television shows of all time. It's different and therefore much more interesting than from all of the crime investigation shows! (hello CSI, Life, and a gazillion more...) The CW will make a mistake if they take it out this season.

So I've watched Supernatural since the first commercial. I've watched every episode, become a member to every fan site of the show, and took many desperate trips out from my home in Coquitlam, a suburb of Vancouver - to New Westminster and Burnaby where they film their show, just fifteen minutes from where I live, in an attempt to meet them. They're so close! Yet so far. Never being able to meet them, I've just been another avid fan of the show. Another girl who's in love with two television hunks. Bwahaha. Same old story. Next. But WAIT! I'm not saying that there's something different about me than any other fan. But I'm different because I'm in love with these two boys not just for what I see from their outside (which is gorgeous by the way), but I love what I've been able to see from their inside. And girls I'm not downsizing how much you may enjoy what you've been able to see from the inside! They just seem like these two really down-to-earth guys that appear friendly and non-judgmental of others around them. Maybe that's where they come from: I've always been attracted to men that I've met who are from the south. Particularly from Texas for some odd coincidence. There's something about them all that's charming, funny, sweet, sexy and attractive all at the same time.

Anyways, I haven't had many boyfriends - I have such low confidence in myself to go out with one, and most boys my age (I'm sixteen) are all immature and still laughing about fart jokes! It's gross! And I'm not saying that Jared wouldn't do that ! (ahem - the Season Two Gag Reel proves this hint hint) - but I'm saying that you're just having fun. You're grown up. Both of you. I'd do ANYTHING to meet you to, anything.

Now to the question. My favorite episode of all time in Supernatural is What Is and What Should Never Be. This episode really left me in tears after watching it, and there's many reasons as to why I like it.

So why is it the best episode? Well first off, Jensen Ackles' performance in this episode was skyrocketing out of this world. Phenomenal. His dedication to the episode was touching and grasped at your soul. He gave everything he had - every ounce of commitment and determination and will power - he showed us all of it. He knocked this one of out of the park. Acting is a test of the spirit - and Jensen Ackles really showed a true side of his soul in this episode. He really allowed himself to be vulnerable acting - something the audience always is looking for. The facial expressions, the gestures and movements are all spot on. You don't have to wonder how his character is feeling; it's written right there on his face, and in his eyes, for all to see. He's heartbreakingly sincere. He committed to Dean and really had the BEST opportunity to become it, and that was SO enjoyable to watch.

This leads to the next reason why it was so good - Eric Kripke! You did a fantastic job with this episode, fans got to see a fantasy and fiction that we may have been running through our heads come out on the screen. Questions like, "What if Mary Winchester didn't die?" "What is Jessica didn't die?" and "Where would the boys be if none of this had happened?" were answered and showed. You did a great job Mr. Kripke.

What Is And What Should Never Be also had a really good energy/mood/setting. The mood and/or tone of this episode was in fact lighthearted and cheerful, as in many scenes we see sunlight, blue sky, and even at night - green trees - such as in a graveyard. All of these colors stimulate the mind and your eyes and you determine how you feel when you think about the episode. Coloring, lighting, and the background all play a crucial role in determining whether you like the setting and hence the mood. And in this episode, it was not just very good - as we're used to seeing a lot of dark episodes that take place either in cheap unattractive motel rooms, at night, or in gray-monotoned rooms of all sorts - it was excellent. The settings chosen were gorgeous and varied, and the lighting stimulated your senses. Thus this creates a good feeling and mood. Supernatural needs more of these episodes I personally think. Everyone picks up on the coloring and lighting differently though. But to me, this is how it was.

Nextly, the guest stars and other actors starring in for this episode were all chosen very well. From Michelle Borth, who played Carmen, to Melanie Scrofano, who played a victim of a djinn, to the djinn himself played by Mackenzie Gray, and to the college professor portrayed by Kwesi Ameyaw - every actor in this episode was great! They all did well and contributed talent to the episode. We even see the talented Samantha Smith who plays the famous mama Winchester Mary come back in this episode and Sam's girlfriend who died back in Stanford, Jessica, played by Adrianne Palicki. It was exciting and intriguing to seem them.

The emotions in this episode blow you away. There's a lot of humor, then you have a lot of sadness and tears, and then there's angst and mystery. All-in-one. The episode itself is very sophisticated that way, and the story will have you drawn into it. Only hardcore fans that have watched episodes since Pilot can fully enjoy the humor behind it! If you know what I mean.

To Jared Padalecki as well, you did a really good job too! You were funny and did an excellent job playing the kid who Sam Winchester would have been if the circumstances were normal in their lives. You did such a good job!!!! Bravo.

Phew! That was a lot! Gotta get back to studying! So a few last words to wrap up my thoughts: thank you to the Cast and Crew of Supernatural for this elaborate, exceptionally funny, tissue-blowing, heartbreaking, sophisticated and passion-driven episode. Thank you.

I would love to be considered for the contest.
My favorite episode would have to be "Born Under a Bad Sign". The episode was extremely well written, and the acting on Jared Padalecki's part was fantastic. Everyone got to see a side of Sam that was definitely different to see, even if it was because he was possessed. I also enjoyed the fact that the episode kept me on the edge of my seat the entire hour.

I'd like to be considered for this contest.

Favorite episode? Faith
Why? Because it was excellent, hee. I felt like the way it all went down with Dean's guilt over trading lives and then not fighting at the end because of his guilt for Layla just rocked. I feel like this is the ep that really changed who he was and that from this point on he seems to be working harder to make his life mean something. To try and deserve to be saved more than Layla.
