To paraphrase a much memed quote from “Gilmore Girls,” “Supernatural” isn’t a just a television show, it’s a lifestyle. After over 220 episodes, jars of man-tears, thousands of one-liners and sublimely dark comedy, “Supernatural” is still breaking our hearts in new and excruciating ways.
It all began on November 2, 1983 when a demon bled into baby Sammy’s mouth (grooming him to lead the underworld, as you do) and ended up killing his protective mother, Mary, sending John Winchester and his then young sons on a lifelong quest to find her murderer and save people along the way. In the Catholic church, November 2 is All Soul’s Day—a time to honor the dead. After hours of sorting, debating and touch of hysterical weeping, I've selected "Supernatural's" 11 Saddest Moments. Spoiler Alert!: Most of them include dead people!
11. Dean warns young Mary. Castiel sends Dean (Jensen Ackles) back in time to learn some heavy and important information about his family, mainly that his mother was raised as a hunter and the reason the demon Azazel came for Sam as a baby was due to a deal they had made a decade before. “In The Beginning” is the masterfully acted episode that should have earned Jensen Ackles his first Emmy nomination for his work as Dean Winchester. Try not to wibble when a choked up son begs his clueless mother to not to get out of bed on 10 years in the future in the clip above.
10. Sam surrenders. It’s a gargantuan understatement to say that Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) has suffered. But even this fighter reaches the end of his rope after suffering for months from horrendous hallucinations and insomnia as a result of being possessed by Lucifer. It's even more gutting that Sam spends his last lucid moments fighting for someone else.
