The game is simple. Here are the Season Ten episodes that have aired so far. I’m listing them in order of airing. Rank them from best to worst. You have five minutes. Don’t change your answers, stick with your initial gut feel. When you have the list, share it, add comments as to why you liked or didn’t like an episode, share why you ranked them the way you did, or say nothing because there’s really nothing to be said other than the ranking. The rules once your list is done are fast and loose.
Without further stalling (since I have a review to write), here’s the list of Season Ten episodes so far:
Black
Reichenbach
Soul Survivor
Paper Moon
Fan Fiction
Ask Jeeves
Girls, Girls, Girls
Hibbing 911
The Things We Left Behind
The Hunter Games
There’s No Place Like Home
About A Boy
Halt & Catch Fire
The Executioner’s Song
As usual, I’ll share my ranking. This took me 4 minutes. I started with the best, then the worst, and it all kind of fell into place from there. It should have only taken me two. I should note only the first two and the last were memorable. The rest I had to lookup to see which ones they were! That’s pretty bad for me.

2. The Executioner's Song -- top to bottom excellent -- although much of the Rowena scenes, until right at the end, still bored me silly
3. Black -- after four months of waiting, it was excellent
4. Reichenbach -- that fight scene in the alley = amazing; Crowley/Dean scenes shine and Sam with his: "You're my brother, and I've come to take you home," yup, loved it.
5. Paper Moon -- after a drought of brotherly conversations that actually were completed, not constantly interrupted, this was a tall, cool glass of water
6. Soul Survivor -- loved the staging of it, loved Sam's determination, and that moment in Dean's room with the family music playing and Sam looking at the photos, well, *sniff*
7. Girls, Girls, Girls -- at first not a fan of this, but that scene with Cole, Sam, and Dean in the alley sells it -- Dean was talking to Sam and Sam to Dean, Cole was just the method of communication
8. Hibbing 911 -- Sheriff Mills! (not that's how you do women on this show, akin to Ellen...RIP!)
9. Ask Jeeve -- light hearted, Sam telling another he and his brother love each other (or words to that effect), Clue the Supernatural way, and chilling Dean at the end
10. About a Boy -- young Dean in body, old Dean in mind, well-written and extremely well-acted, especially Jared and Dylan!
11. No Place Like Home -- I adore Charlie, but a bit too anvilicious upon re-watch
12. Halt and Cat Fire -- Sam and Dean on a goold ole' salt-n-burn...w ifi style!
13. Hunter's Games -- meh -- Metatron just sinks every episode he's in, sorry Curtis Armstrong. It's not your fault at all; it's the material.
14. The Things We Left Behind -- yeah, just, well, nope

2. Fan Fiction- Awesome! nothing more to say.
3. Soul Survivor- Flawed, but the incredible bunker scenes between the brothers blew me away.
4. The Executioner's Song- Thrilling episode, great scene between Dean and Cain, but my favorite episodes will always be those that focus on both brothers, and Sam didn't have too much to do here.
5. Black- Great start to the season, but I really wanted Dean to be more demony.
6. About A Boy- The relationship between Teen Dean and Sam was so reminiscent of their relationship in the earlier seasons that I loved it.
7. Ask Jeeves- it was just more FUN than the other filler episodes this season.
8. Paper Moon- Yep, the werewolf plot was pretty dull, but we got not one, not two, but THREE good conversations between the brothers.
9. Halt and Catch Fire- Okay story, smart Sam, but nothing great
10. Girls, Girls, Girls- good scene between Dean and Cole, but this episode marked the beginning of Sam's vanishing act.
11. There's No Place Like Home- I know I'm in the minority, but I'm not a Charlie fan, and I especially hated the Oz plot. Although I did enjoy Dark Charlie.
12. Hibbing 911- I usually love Jody but I found her grating in this episode. And, bottom line, not nearly enough Sam and Dean.
13. The Hunter Games-I actually like Metatron, but Claire is annoying, the episode was disjointed and boring for the most part.
14. The Things We Left Behind- No contest, this was awful on so many levels, but mostly because "Sam who?"
2. Reichenbach - Watched again. Awesome fight scene.
3. Black - Watched again. I liked how Demon Dean was portrayed.
4. About a Boy - Good, but only watched once.
5. Soul Survivor - Okay. Liked the brothers, but the "cure" was way too anti-climatic
The rest I have only watched once and I won't watch again, but this bunch was okay (S10-wise)
6. The Hunter Games
7. Girls, Girls, Girls
8. Ask Jeeves
9. Fan Fiction
Didn't like these at all.
10. Hibbing 911 (Sheriff Donna's story with Jody as the POV character. Cameo appearances by the Winchesters)
11. Halt and Catch Fire (Teenagers! Yuck.)
12. Paper Moon (Who cares about Kate. The brothers did nothing, while Kate solved her own problem)
I found these horrible.
13. The Things We Left Behind (Claire. Enough said.)
14. There’s No Place Like Home (Charlie. Enough said.)
2. Executioner's Song
3. About a Boy
4. Reichenbach
5. Ask Jeeves
You know, I have subscribed to this show on Amazon. This show sucks to watch with commercials, . So much gets lost when it gets chopped up. I see so much more and feel more, when I'm not futzing with the remote. I included Ask Jeeves because I cracked up so much when I watched it again without interruptions. Even Halt and Catch Fire was deeper on rewatch. You can see Dean starting to shift and change, not in a good way.
2. Ask Jeeves (the brothers are the heroes)
3. Paper Moon (we time)
4. Halt & Catch Fire
5. About A Boy
6. There’s No Place Like Home
7. Soul Survivor (it could have been so good if we didn't have to watch the story of boring hell and boring angels)
8. Fan Fiction (Am I the only one who didn't like it ?, probably to old for the teenagers audience it was made for)
9. Hibbing 911 (not enough of the boys)
10. Girls, Girls, Girls (too many different stories)
11. Reichenbach
12. Black (disappointed in demondean who is not dark at all, don't care about the angels)
13. The Hunter Games (Claire Rowena, too slow, boring, dumb crowley, stories I don't care about)
14. The Things We Left Behind (Claire Rowena, too slow, boring, dumb crowley, stories I don't care about but worse because it was a mid-season final)
