Jensen Ackles’ reveal to EW about when he thinks Supernatural is best really isn’t a huge surprise; both he and Jared Padalecki turn in some of their most intense performances in episodes that go from funny to scary.
Still, Supernatural still finds ways to pluck at the heartstrings when it takes the boys from big highs to very low lows within forty-two minutes of story.
The show has admittedly used resurrections so many times that deaths can be hard to take too seriously.
When Sam or Dean or even Castiel or Crowley seem to be killed off, we can pretty much assume that they’ll be back among the living in the not-too-distant future.
