The Winchesters and their ever-changing ensemble of friends and family have been on our televisions for fourteen seasons now. As they are filming their last adventures, I thought it would be nice to reminisce on some of the lessons the cast of Supernatural has taught us over the years, and maybe a few of the funny moments, too.
“Saving people, hunting things. The family business.” - 01.02
Of course, I had to start with this one. This quote is basically the foundation of the show, and this is its first appearance. Sam was hesitant to join Dean in his search for their dad, but after all, it is the family business. This episode and many more that followed in this season reminded me that maybe going back to my hometown and doing what I did when I grew up is not always a bad thing. Imagine where we would be if Sam decided not to go back to the family business!
“It doesn't matter what you are. It only matters what you do. It's your choice.” - 04.04
In this particular episode, a man has just been changed into a rougarou but has not eaten yet, so there is still a chance for him to save himself. We all have a choice every day to be a new person, a better person. We shouldn't take advantage of that.
“You don't stop being a soldier 'cause you got wounded in battle.” - 05.07
Setbacks will happen, and sometimes they might take a while to climb over, but that is okay. You cannot give up because of heartbreak or a mistake. Your purpose is worth more than a mistake, no matter how bad it may seem in the moment.
“Decide to be fine until the end of the week. Make yourself smile, because you’re alive and that’s your job. Then do it again the next week.” - 07.11
This might be one of the most insightful things ever said on Supernatural. Life gets tough for all of us, but at the end of the day, we are alive. We made it through and we can make it through again tomorrow, and eventually, next week.
“Earth can be a hard place, but these humans, they can get better. They're just doing the best they can.” - 09.06
Even the Angels know we're just doing the best we can. Some days, your best might not feel like a lot, but that's okay. Some days you may feel like you want to torch everyone, and that is okay, too-as long as you don't actually do it. Earth is a hard place, but we can make it better together. We can be better.
