Season 1, Episode 20: Dead Man's Blood

"We are stronger as a family."
"Dead Man's Blood" sees the boys reunited with John and introduces vampires to the Supernatural universe.  It also introduces another key piece of the Supernatural mythology - the Colt.

  • I was never a huge vampire person - I mean, I watched The Vampire Diaries before I even watched Supernatural, and I watched Twilight, but I didn't watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer until after I'd already finished Supernatural, so I wasn't married to vampire lore.  So I liked what Supernatural did with it - made it its own and made it unique.
  • Speaking of The Vampire Diaries - the "lie in the road and wait for passing motorists to stop" trick used by the vampires here was obviously something Damon Salvatore paid attention to several years later
  • I love the Colt - I love that it still plays a role seasons later.
  • "Somewhere along the line, I stopped being your father and I became your drill sergeant."  
  • I like that vampires mate for life.  Like lobsters. 
  • Blood spatter count: 1.
