Line 9:
* [[The Fair Folk]]: as of season 6, officially fairies exist. Considering that the gods of all the major religions have ''already'' been shown to exist, this isn't so much a surprise, but it does confirm that there are different kinds of [[Functional Magic|magic]], particularly [[Wild Magic]], which plays differently into the whole angels and demons power struggle.
* [[Faking Amnesia]]: Dean fakes a case of [[Death Amnesia]] after being pulled out of hell by Castiel. It's possible it's actually true at first, but by an episode or two later he's blatantly lying.
* [[Fantastic Aesop]]: "After School Special" brings us this: Don't assume that just because somebody acts like a jerk, they don't have problems of their own. And besides, if you do lash out at them, they might get so angry they'll come [[Back
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: In Hell, you're basically tortured, daily, in unimaginable ways, for decades on end, unless you agree to do the same to others. Dean {{spoiler|held out for thirty years.}}
** The end of season five had Sam {{spoiler|stuck in hell's solitary confinement with vengeful archangels [[Fallen Angel]] [[Archangel Lucifer|Lucifer]] and [[Archangel Michael|Michael]] torturing him creatively for a hundred and eighty years or so.}}
Line 151:
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]:
** Sam ran away to college, where his girlfriend was killed, and spent the first season wanting to go back after they defeated the [[Big Bad]]. Then he found out he had demonic powers and after getting a taste of [[The Dark Side]], decided he was too much of a freak to ever have a normal life.
** Dean has wanted out of the life since Dad told him he might have to kill [[Protectorate|his brother]]. Losing his [[Big Brother Instinct|brother]], first to [[Back
** Runs in the family. Their hunter mother desperately wanted to get out, raise a family and live a normal life.
** Jimmy Novak, Castiel's vessel. [[Genre Blind|He really thought it was over]].
Line 164:
'''Castiel:''' ''[knows perfectly well Lucifer saw the whole thing]'' Um... ''no.'' }}
* [[Impostor Exposing Test]]:
** When Sam comes [[Back
** In another episode, a parasite has infected one of the characters, but they can't be sure who. They had earlier figured out that electricity was so effective on the parasite that it would be forced to leave the host, so the characters had to take turns shocking themselves to prove they didn't have it.
* [[Informed Ability]]:
Line 189:
* [[Jerkass]]: John is the hated/despised/loathed but pitied kind, Dean is the "I'm about to break down any second" kind, and Sammy is the "You have no idea how I feel" kind.
* [[Jesus Taboo]]: Despite the huge amount of Judeo-Christian mythology used on the show, [[Have You Seen My God?|Jesus is notably absent as a character]], or even as a hypothetical participant in the [[Endofthe World As We Know It|End Times]] storylines.
* [[Jossed]]: In "Lazarus Rising", {{spoiler|it turns out that [[Our Angels Are Different|an angel of the Lord]] swooped down from Heaven and snatched Dean out of Hell, leading to [[Rise
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Dean, though this might be less "jumped" at and more "picked up and pitched forward at" instead.
* [[Just Between You and Me]]: None of the demons seem to be able to resist the temptation (except for the [[Big Bad|BigBads]]). The rest of the monsters are strangely immune.
Line 230:
* [[Lost Aesop]]:
** What happened to "No Chick-Flick Moments" again?
** Sam seems to have gotten over the get over Dean's death lesson pretty quickly. Even [[Back
* [[The Lost Lenore]]: Sam and Dean's mother for them and their father, Jess for Sam, Bobby's wife.
* [[Loveable Sex Maniac]]: Dean, natch. Future!Castiel may also qualify, considering his casual attitude towards group sex.
