Line 314:
* [[Disposable Woman]]: There are already two by the first episode. In fact, one wonders if there were any women on the writing team. Well, except for all the [[Fetish Fuel]]. (Although, to be fair, those two women were not forgotten. The men who loved them basically declared war on the forces of hell over them. Also, really, anyone who's not actually Sam or Dean dies, regardless of sex.)
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: "Don't objectify me!" cries Dean to a Bela, after she proposes they have angry sex.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] / [[Distressed Dude in Distress]]: So they might be big, tough men, but they've got nabbed enough times for this trope to apply. Sam is more often the one in peril, but when Dean is captured, he is usually captured for longer (for instance, in "Hunted"). Notable instances are when Sam is taken in "The Benders" (and then it was subverted by him getting out and Dean winding up being captured instead), in "Bloodlust" (although the vampires just wanted to talk with him and they release him afterwards), in "Home", "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1", "Long Distance Caller", "Time Is On My Side", and "Ghostfacers." Dean is captured in "Hunted", "Wendigo", "What Is And What Should Never Be", "Monster Movie", and "Scarecrow." Both are captured in "Skin" (Dean gets them out), "A Very Supernatural Christmas" (they somehow managed to get out off-screen) and "Shadow" (Sam gets them out, though Dean was pretty close). To list all the times one has been helpless/at the mercy of the [[Monster of the Week|MOTW]] so that the other can save him would be far too long especially in the case of Sam, Season 1 (and Dean managed to catch up in Seasons 2 and 3) -- it's more than half the episodes. Not to mention that every episode there is at least one person (usually female) who needs to be rescued.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]:
** The [[Monster of the Week]] in "Something Wicked" was played like a pedophile.
