Okay, it’s been a couple of days and the responses have considerably slowed, so for those of you dying to know the answers to the Trivia Quiz, I won’t keep you hanging. I’ll tell ya, a couple of you came close, but no one got the answers 100% right. So, I must have done my job right. One answer no one guessed correctly and a couple only had one or two correct answers.
The winner BTW, a tie! It’s between elle2 and Kmb316! They’re both an encyclopedia of weirdness just like I am. Elena M and Supernarttu both came in a close second. Congratulations to you all!
So, below are my answers and naturally my long-winded explanations for each. After all, you guys want to know more than the straight answer, right? RIGHT? Ah well, if not, skim through.
—————————————————————–
1. What episode is the first to feature a shirtless Winchester? Bonus, Who is it?
Ah, this is sort of a trick question. It all depends on how you view the technicalities. The quick answer is Dean in รขโฌลSkin,รขโฌย which is episode six of season one. However, that really wasnรขโฌโขt Dean, it was the shapeshifter in a Dean suit. So, if you want to go from there, there are partial shots of Dean shirtless a little in รขโฌลScarecrowรขโฌย and a lot more in รขโฌลRoute 666.รขโฌย There are probably enough partial shots of Dean in his uncomfortable sex scene in รขโฌลRoute 666รขโฌย where you get enough exposure.
However, if there are those of you that consider รขโฌลshirtlessรขโฌย to be full-on total top nudity with every feature and detail flaunted in full glory and donรขโฌโขt want to count Dean shapeshifter, you have to go to Sam in รขโฌลHell House.รขโฌย To me that is the epitome of shirtless shots, plus at the time NONE of us knew the boy was that ripped. All those layers were misleading.
But, in judgment of a correct answer, Iรขโฌโขll take Dean in รขโฌลSkin,รขโฌย Dean in รขโฌลRoute 666รขโฌย or Sam in รขโฌลHell House.รขโฌย
2. How old were Sam and Dean when Sam gave Dean his cherished amulet?
8 (Sam) and 12 (Dean). I had to make some of these easy!
3. What was the first episode where the word “Impala” was actually said? Bonus, who said it?
As Iรขโฌโขm digging through the answers, only a couple of you got this right. In the entire season one, the word รขโฌลImpalaรขโฌย was never said. It was just Deanรขโฌโขs baby or his car. No, it wasnรขโฌโขt until the season two premiere, รขโฌลIn My Time of Dying,รขโฌย when Sam talked about the รขโฌลImpalaรขโฌย being towed back to Bobbyรขโฌโขs place with John, that the carรขโฌโขs actual kind was uttered.
4. Sam mentioned in “Something Wicked” that the Shrtiga had struck before in Odgenville, North Haverbrook, and Brockway. What TV series is this a shout out to? Bonus: Name the episode.
This is a shout out to one of my all time favorite TV episodes. Iรขโฌโขve told this story before, but when watching this for the first time after Sam said that, I paused the DVD and started singing, รขโฌลMonorail, monorail, monorail!รขโฌย It is indeed a shout out to The Simpsons, the รขโฌลMarge Vs. The Monorailรขโฌย episode. Another really interesting fact? That episode was written by an up and coming comedy writer by the name of Conan OรขโฌโขBrien.
5. Other than South Dakota, what state has been the setting of the most episodes? After that?
I actually went through five seasons and counted! The answer is indeed Ohio, but season five is what pushed the state ahead. Before that, it was a dead heat between Ohio and Illinois. So, the รขโฌลafter thatรขโฌย is Illinois. NO ONE got this question right.
6. What was the name of Bobby Singerรขโฌโขs dog in his first episode, รขโฌลDevilรขโฌโขs Trap.รขโฌย Bonus, who was he named after? What would you name Bobby’s dog now?
The dogรขโฌโขs name was Rumsfeld, after then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Kind of fitting since the real Rumsfeld is a mean old dog. What would I name Bobbyรขโฌโขs dog now? I have no freaking idea. Sparky. I read รขโฌลGatesรขโฌย for a couple of answers and that works too.
7. What politician has a parking spot in Hell according to Casey the Demon in รขโฌลSin City?รขโฌย
Dick Cheney. Man, when this man speaks, sometimes I wish he was already there.

8. What was the name of the porno flick Sam was caught watching in รขโฌลChildren Shouldnรขโฌโขt Play With Dead Things?รขโฌย
Casa Erotica FOUR. That is the key to the answer, itรขโฌโขs the fourth installment of the series. He probably didnรขโฌโขt need to see the other three considering those films usually donรขโฌโขt have a plot to stay on top of, but how many here think he has seen the other three? Iรขโฌโขm wondering if this was a porn marathon he was enjoying. There I go overthinking again.
9. What Supernatural actor folded his software business after he figured out he made more money acting?
Misha Collins. He told us about that during the panel at the Cherry Hill con in March. Want details? Here you go:
10. What Supernatural writer was the creator of the cult comic series The Tick?
Ben Edlund. Thereรขโฌโขs an amusing story about how I know this. My brother-in-law is a huge The Tick fan (the comics not the TV series) and does not watch Supernatural. I got back from Comic Con and mentioned that I interviewed Ben Edlund and he gasped. He wondered how I managed that. I told him he’s an Executive Producer and Writer for Supernatural. รขโฌลHe is?รขโฌย was the stunned reaction. Then he wondered why I didnรขโฌโขt ask Tick questions. I think my status improved a little after that conversation, but not much since I don’t read The Tick.
11. What Supernatural writer was on the reality show Project Greenlight?
Sera Gamble. She talked all about it in my second interview with her. She especially gives details about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Read about it here:
12. Is Criss Angel really a douchebag?
Yes, no, or maybe so works. Again, I wanted to make sure everyone got a least one answer right. My favorite response though comes from Supernarttu. รขโฌลBig Time.รขโฌย
13. Which Supernatural actor made me cringe every time his character had sex with Lana Lang on Smallville?
Another no brainer. This was indeed Jensen Ackles. Not that I didnรขโฌโขt mind seeing Jensen get all naked but man, talk about that lack of chemistry thing again. It was just weird. Those two were awful together. Plus I absolutely hate Kristen Kreuk as Lana Lang. She looked really weird having sex scenes with Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum too. She sucked the life out of everyone who came near. I donรขโฌโขt miss her one bit.
14. Out of the four women known to have slept with Sam Winchester, how many are dead? Given his track record, would you ever sleep with the man?
Another trick question. You see, the answer as shown in the episodes is three. However, as a HUGE fan of This Is Spinal Tap, I know that no matter how much you tempt fate, itรขโฌโขll eventually catch up. Case in point with their drummer in the film, Mick Shrimpton. He knew all of Spinal Tapรขโฌโขs previous drummers had died in bizarre circumstances, thus cementing the curse on drummers. Heck, the one before him spontaneously combusted. He went on though, believing it wouldnรขโฌโขt happen to him. What happened at the end? He spontaneously combusted.
Iรขโฌโขm treating Sam Winchesterรขโฌโขs sexual companions as Spinal Tap drummers. I think Dr. Cara, the lone survivor, has by now either spontaneously combusted or met her death in a bizarre gardening accident.
So, three or four would have been accepted as a correct answer. So, since I’m going with the Spinal Tap theory, there’s no way I’d sleep with the man, no matter how hot he is! Unless I’m terminally ill.
15. What Metallica song was Dean signing to himself in “Phantom Traveler”? Why was he singing it?
รขโฌลSome Kind of Monster.รขโฌย It helps him relax, especially since his one true fear is flying. I wish they had a cool calming mechanism like that for Sam when his irrational fear turned out to be clowns.
16. Name the episodes that profiled “The Magic Fingers.”
It made its debut in รขโฌลHouses of The Holyรขโฌย but since then itรขโฌโขs become a running joke. Other episodes where one was either mentioned or shown was รขโฌลSin City,รขโฌย รขโฌลDream A Little Dream of Me,รขโฌย รขโฌลAfter School Special,รขโฌย and รขโฌลThe Monster At The End of This Book.รขโฌย Bravo elle2, the only one that could list all those. However, for those that just said รขโฌลHouses of The Holy,รขโฌย Iรขโฌโขll accept that since that was the only time we saw Dean enjoying it, although bonus points are awarded if the others are mentioned.
17. What tourist attraction did Sam claim he and Dean saw in “The Usual Suspects?”
The second largest ball of twine in the Continental US. Awesome. Iรขโฌโขm very sad they didnรขโฌโขt reveal the location of that, for Iรขโฌโขd be there in a heartbeat. Lucky for me, thereรขโฌโขs the Internet.
18. What’s number one on Dean’s places to visit list? Two? Three?
Okay, who didnรขโฌโขt get the Grand Canyon? Itรขโฌโขs been brought up a few times. First in รขโฌลCroatoanรขโฌย when he thought he and Sam were going to die. Second was in รขโฌลGhostfacersรขโฌย when Sam chastised Dean for making Morton House their รขโฌลGrand Canyon.รขโฌย Third, and this is where we found out about the second and third places, is in รขโฌลAre You There God Itรขโฌโขs Me Dean Winchester.รขโฌย He spells out exactly what they should see since the apocalypse is looming. รขโฌลGrand Canyon, The Star Trek Experience, Bunny Ranch.รขโฌย Iรขโฌโขm so impressed there were a few of you that got that.
19. How many episodes have taken place in the state of Florida?
One. รขโฌลMystery Spot.รขโฌย It was a memorable one! I donรขโฌโขt think they ever have to go to Florida again after the pink flamingo room.
20. รขโฌลChanging Channelsรขโฌย believe it or not was the second time David Caruso was slammed in an episode. What was the other episode?
Only two people got this! รขโฌลTime Is On My Side.รขโฌย When looking at bloody fingerprints, Dean harps รขโฌล Okay, great. My man Dave Caruso will be stoked to hear it.รขโฌย
21. What kind of engine does the Impala have?
A 327 four barrel, 275 hp. Yes, a V8 too. I guess we donรขโฌโขt have too many gearheads on this site.
I have heard Jeremy Carver reads boards so he can address fan nitpicks. I remember the summer before รขโฌลIn The Beginningรขโฌย aired I started speculation in a couple of articles on what the exact specs were for the Impala engine. I guessed off of brief shot of the engine from รขโฌลFresh Blood.รขโฌย So, he addressed that part. Iรขโฌโขm not claiming that it was me that inspired that piece of info, but you never know. Iรขโฌโขm thrilled he did.
22. Does Bon Jovi just rock รขโฌลon occasion?รขโฌย
Another yes, no, or maybe so answer. I didnรขโฌโขt want everyone to look completely stupid! For the record, I think now they rock all the time but when รขโฌลWanted Dead or Aliveรขโฌย came out I liked that but hated that awful รขโฌลLiving on A Prayer.รขโฌย I would say those early years were definitely on occasion.
23. What Star Trek: Voyager actor directed a Supernatural episode? Which one? Did you like it?
Robert Duncan McNeill! This was a vanity question for me, since I met the man at Comic Con (heรขโฌโขs a Producer for Chuck now) and published an article quoting our talk about his role as Director in รขโฌลSkin.รขโฌย I published it here too. I know how many hits that got, which wasnรขโฌโขt many, so now I know who actually read the article! Yes, Iรขโฌโขm teasing. And yes, I liked it.
24. Match the death with the season:
Dean One
Castiel Two
Sam Three
Impala Four
John Five
Dean
Sam
Ash
Gordon
Dean
Sam
There I go tricking everyone again. The rule, which I didnรขโฌโขt specify so I will allow close answers on technicality, is the season the death actually occurred. So, when Castiel blew up in the season four finale, we didnรขโฌโขt find out until he was dead into season five, but he did die in season four.
Dean รขโฌโ Season Three (Mystery Spot and No Rest For The Wicked. Rough year).
Castiel รขโฌโ Season Four (Lucifer Rising)
Sam รขโฌโ Season Two (All Hell Breaks Loose Part I)
Impala รขโฌโ Season One (Devilรขโฌโขs Trap), I’ll also accept Season Five (The End). If future Dean counts, I must accept future Impala!
John รขโฌโ Season Two (In My Time of Dying)
Dean รขโฌโ Season Four (Yellow Fever)
Sam รขโฌโ Season Four (Wishful Thinking)
Ash รขโฌโ Season Two (All Hell Breaks Loose Part I. Loads of death in that one).
Gordon รขโฌโ Season Three (Fresh Blood)
Dean รขโฌโ Season Five (The End. Yes, itรขโฌโขs future Dean, but itรขโฌโขs Dean. Also, Iรขโฌโขll allow The Curious Case of Dean Winchester since that was up for debate).
Sam รขโฌโ Season Five (Sympathy For The Devil. Remember he suffocated to death after Zachariah took away his lungs?)
Someone also guessed for Dean and Sam “Death Takes A Holiday.” Okay, I’ll count it, but no, it didn’t make my list.
25. How many episodes are named after Led Zeppelin songs? The Rolling Stones? The Who? Black Sabbath? Metallica?
Led Zeppelin, 4. In My Time of Dying, Houses of The Holy, What Is and What Should Never Be, and When The Levee Breaks. It was almost five, but No Quarter was changed to No Rest For The Wicked.
The Rolling Stones, 2 รขโฌโ Time Is On My Side, Sympathy For The Devil.
The Who, 1 รขโฌโ The Kids Are Alright.
Black Sabbath, 1 รขโฌโ Heaven and Hell. Yes, I know, itรขโฌโขs Ronnie James Dio Sabbath and not Ozzy Sabbath, but itรขโฌโขs still Sabbath.
Metallica, 0. Weรขโฌโขll put that in the รขโฌลThere should beรขโฌย column though.
That’s all! Thank you for playing everyone. I had fun doing this. If you liked the quiz and think I should do this again sometime, just let me know. Of course you might also really hate me for this too. My work here is done!
Hmm… Clarice, I didn’t realize that Dean had died in Yellow Fever, either.. And I guess I thought that Zachariah gave Sam his lungs back before he died in Sympathy for the Devil. I’ll have to go rewatch.. I know, it’s a hardship, but I shall overcome!
Also, can we not also say that the future Impala died in The End?
You’re right … I really hate you! My inferiority complex just went into overdrive … ๐
Thanks Alice, this quiz was awesome! More please! Pretty please? I’m shocked that I knew that much.. n:o 2 huh? I’ll take it. ๐
Sidenote: I gotta agree on the whole Kristin Kreuk -thing. That is the main reason I stopped watching Smallville. I watched few seasons from the beginning but the whole Lana -character just bugged the hell ouf of me… And the lack of chemistry with basically anyone didn’t help either. I’m glad I didn’t see her with Jensen, that would have been draining. I liked the Lois -character (& the actress) more but she barely had/have (dunno if she’s still on) any importance in the show :/
But thank you for the quiz and the thorough answers ๐
And congrats to all the winners and my co-second ๐
Kneel before Alice!
I just thought I was an expert. I look forward to many more quizzes. What about one where you give us a quote, and we name the episode? I think I’d do much better at that one.
I’m a little late to the party here, but that quiz was really fun, though I didn’t know very many of the answers. Thanks for putting it together, Alice, and I look forward to more, if you feel like doing them.
An even later commenter here ;-)–just wanted to say the quiz was a lot of fun, so bring it on! Now I’ve got even more Supernatural fluff in my brain–and I love it!
And along those lines I hope we get to do a “rank them in 5 minutes” exercise when season 5 wraps–I was looking back at that piece for season 4 and loved comparing the rankings
Hey, didn’t John die in season 4 as well? “In the Beginning,” he died–totally forgot about it when I was answering the quiz!
I LOVE Lana Lang!:-)
