Things I Love About Season 1: Home (Part 1)

Supernatural, Season 1
Episode 9, “Home”
Written by Eric Kripke
Directed by Ken Girotti


Warning: image heavy post
Some brief reference to mental health issues

If I could pinpoint exactly when I ceased to be a casual viewer of Supernatural and became a full-on fan, “Home” would certainly be one of the major contributing episodes. The first Demon arc episode since “Phantom Traveler”, it represented a major turning point in the season with big brother reveals, the show’s first ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ brother hug, and John’s first appearance since the pilot.

Things I Love About SPN Season 1: Wendigo

I’d like to thank everyone for all the positive feedback for my review of the Supernatural pilot. It’s encouraged me to continue with my ruminations on the early episodes, so this week I’ve been re-watching “Wendigo”.

Warning: image heavy post.


      Apparently, Eric Kripke originally panned this episode because he didn’t think the monster was scary enough, but then he re-watched it 10 years later and decided it wasn’t so bad after all. Kripke is often his own worst critic and, imho, doesn’t give himself enough credit. Personally, I love this episode – not especially for the monster plot, I grant you, but because I think it is a wonderful study in character development. Plus, of course, it introduced the show’s original ethos, and gave us the immortal bumper sticker: “saving people, hunting things”.

To business, then . . .

    Yes, I would be interested in an in-depth Campbell post.

    I've mentioned the Hero's Journey a few times in episodes where the parallels were obvious to me but, re-reading Campbell for this scene, I've realized that I've missed a number of other…

    Very thought provoking! I haven't read Joseph Campbell so it is nice to see it laid out like that.

    I find it interesting that while both Dean and Sam compare Sam to John, John doesn't. In this scene…

    There's a lot to unpack in the last three episodes. Particularly, we'll see the themes from this scene revisited in the confrontation with the Demon in "Devil's Trap".

    Thanks so much for your…
