In honour of season 11 and all the attitude adjustments it wrought, today we’re counting down some of the top ten “redemption” hits in Supernatural history. Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
There’s always a certain amount of filler episodes in every season, and while they often vary in quality, it’s a good chance for the show to let its hair down and experiment, as well. So I’ll leave the mytharc to people more qualified than myself. But I’m a fan, and that is all the qualification…
I did one for Sam so naturally, I’ve got to look at Dean too! After all, Sam isn’t the only Winchester that has taken some pretty hard licks in eight seasons. Dean has seen quite a few gruesome injuries himself, and it’s time to fondly remember (and wince) at all those priceless times when life…
The mood among the fandom lately has been downright sour. Dean fans vs. Sam fans, Jensen fans vs. Jared fans, Ruby haters vs. Ruby lovers and my favorite so far, The CW haters vs. The CW haters. No lovers in that mix. So, to lighten the mood, especially since come late February the winter weather…
Just like any work of art (and I consider Supernatural to be one in its own form), something that is poignant is subjective and deeply personal. So when I began brainstorming the Top Ten Most Poignant “Supernatural” Moments, I simply thought about those instances in the show where where I gulped down the lump in…
This week I’m counting down Supernatural’s Favorite Episodes, Number 90 to Number 81! I won’t re-hash all the details about this epic project (which were described in “The Road So Far” introduction), so I’ll just quickly remind you that this list of Favorite Episodes is based on the rankings submitted to me from several participants,…
The Skin shapeshifter, in my opinion. I adore both of them, but Skin is probably one of my favourite episodes in the first season… I don’t know. I just find the idea of psychotic shapeshifters very, very creepy, and on the side of the mytharc it’s a good old horrorshow and I like to be scared. I like to be creeped out. If I didn’t, I’d watch My Little Pony.
I think the way each shapeshifter is written is clever, in that it shows how each of them “begins” the same, but grows to be what they are depending on their reaction to the circumstances and events of their up-bringing Mmm sounds a bit like our boys and the way they have reacted and grown. I personaly prefer the “darker” one in “skin”, still have a soft spot for the fun in Draculla!
Waiting for the next offering

I’d go with the Monster Movie shapeshifter, but the Skin shapeshifter gets bonus points for choosing Dean’s skin 😀
Hi, Alice,
Great comparisons between them all, I agree, for this particular adventure the shapeshifter in Nightshifter is out as his character wasn’t really part of the story, Ronald and Henricksen got those parts so we never knew the shapeshifter.
Both characters (Skin and Monster Movie) got to show their vulnerable sides, what haunted them and ‘made them’ still, they chose their paths and choosing evil is always a way to get killed, in the Supernatural world certainly.
I loved them both and can’t choose. It’s nice to have a multiple monsters from multiple seasons to curl up with when I’m in the mood for a shapeshifter triple play.
Great list.
Although i liked the shapeshifter in skin i just adore dracula! just so funny. both had a vulnerable side, similar experiences growing up and use violence to obtain their own ends, but the dracula monster i just feel is something a little deeper, he’s not just rage but is looking for love (going about it the wrong way) but is creative and random and has a million shades to him whereas all you see with the skin shapeshifter is rage and anger. plus loved the cloak!
Hmmm … Tricky …
Nightshifter ‘shifter gets points for being in such a total blinder of an episode and for inspiring Ron and his fabulously useless Mandroid theory … Bless …
Skin ‘shifter was evil, horrible, manipulative and twenty-seven flavours of vile so well done
him/her/it …
In the end my personal biscuit goes to the Monster Movie version for being splendidly daft ( the Vespa, the coupon, the leiderhosen … I could go on all night ) and actually rather touching at the end. It’s hard not to love a movie spod, whatever shape they are!
