We Need to Talk About Sam

We made it! We've reached the end! This week, we're covering ALL of Season 1 in our first Wrap Up Episode. We had a great time taking a complete look at the entirety of the season and seeing where things build upon each other. Thank you so much for making it this far with us. We're so excited to get into Season 2 next week! --- Race in Supernatural --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Tw...

We've made it! The season one finale! This week we had an absolute blast talking about an absolutely fantastic episode full of brother angst, villain monologuing, and a killer cliffhanger. --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram ,  Tumblr , and  TikTok .

This week we're covering Season 1, Episode 20, Dead Man's Blood. Prepare for Kenzi getting a little overenthusiastic about decomposition, both of us geeking out over lesbian vampires, and some deep discussion of what happened the night Sam left for Stanford.  --- Haley's Research Wikipedia History Channel --- J2 talk about vampires (DallasCon 2015) Essays on Race in Supernatural Lifted Dodge Ram T...

This week we covered 1x19, Provenance, in which Dean is WAAAAAY too interested in Sam's sex life and Sarah is honestly kind of perfect. Oh, also, Amazon Alexas can fart. Now you know. --- Haley's Research Haunted Paintings --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and  Tumblr . Kenzi is on  Twitter  and  Tumblr .

This week we're covering Season 1, Episode 18, a.k.a. the episode where the Winchesters fight a dementor. Jk, it's a shtriga, and somehow neither of us ever mentioned the Witcher???? Anyways, this is an episode with lots of Dean feels and we really loved it. --- Haley's Research Shtrigas --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and  Tumblr .

This week we're covering 1x17, in which Sam's hair looks kinda funny, Kenzi is feeling the effects of podcasting at midnight (we do not recommend that. Do not try at home, lmao), and Haley had a lot of fun researching Tulpas. We had a good time with this one, which is easy when the episode you're covering is pretty damn great. --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , a...

This week we're covering one of our favorite season 1 episodes so far, 1x16, Shadow. We had so much fun crushing on Nicki Aycox and getting into the angstiness of a Winchester reunion. --- Haley's Sources Daevas - Wikipedia Zoroastrianism - Wikipedia --- Other Links Zoroastrianism - History.com Jensen answers a question about why the boys don't have scars --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found...

This week, Kenzi had way too much fun researching the true crime inspiration for the Bender family and Haley has to deal with her girlfriend pining after a man. All in a week's work as we cover 1x15, The Benders. --- Kenzi's Sources Mental Floss Legends of America Wikipedia --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and  Tumblr .

This week Sam has more visions, he moves a wardrobe WITH HIS MIND, and Kenzi spends a full five minutes talking about the wrong gun. Oops. Anyways, we really enjoyed digging into 1x14, Nightmare, and would love to hear what y'all think of some of the conclusions we came to! --- Dean's Colt Sam's Taurus --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and  Tumblr .

This week, we're delving into another episode that's the butt of a lot of fandom jokes but deals with some heavy topics and is much better than you remember. Give it a rewatch and then come hang out with us!  --- Haley's References: Ghost Vehicles --- Race in Supernatural The Ancient Graffiti Project --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and  Tumblr .

This week, two not-religious people take on an episode about faith, miracles, and death, in which Sam presents a theme that we'll definitely be seeing again - "I won't let you die. Period." We hope you enjoy our coverage of 1x12. --- Haley's References: Death (Personification) Psychopomp --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and  Tumblr .

This week, we're covering two halves of a Sam plot in one episode with Asylum and Scarecrow. We'd never noticed before how well these two fit together but we hope you enjoy our analysis (are we allowed to use that term? xD) of two really great episodes. --- Haley's References: Asylums (Wikipedia) Psychology Today The Vanir --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and ...

This week, the boys are going back to where it all began and we're going with them in 1x09, Home. Sam's having visions, Dean's getting so much shit from Missouri, and John needs to call his sons back. --- Haley's References: Wikipedia The Poltergeist Curse --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and  Tumblr .

This week we're covering Bugs, an episode with a bit of a reputation in the fandom but we're pretty sure that's mostly because no one likes, you know, the bugs and not because it's actually an awful episode. We get our first real look at Sam's feelings about his upbringing in this one and you know how we feel about Sam! --- The Bee Story --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  In...

This week we're talking shifter goo, why hooks are a surprisingly good prosthetic, and clearing out your email inbox more than once a decade, as we discuss 1x06, Skin, and 1x07, Hookman. These are two excellent "monster of the week" episodes we thoroughly enjoyed and hope you like, too!  --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and  Tumblr .

This week, we cover 1x05, Bloody Mary, a genuinely creepy episode that's probably pretty high on our lists!

This week is our first combo episode! In it, we're covering season 1, episodes 3 and 4, "Dead in the Water" and "Phantom Traveler". These aren't really Sam-heavy episodes but they're still really good and we had a lot of fun with them. --- We Need to Talk About Sam can be found on  Twitter ,  Instagram , and  Tumblr .

This week, we'll be talking about season 1, episode 2, "Wendigo", an episode that's gotten a lot of shit over the years but is actually really good and packed full of Sam stuff to dig into.
