Ben Edlund has crafted some of the most memorable Supernatural episodes in the history’s run.   Several of his episodes were in our last rewatch and a follower suggested that we have a marathon dedicated to him.  What a great idea!  So here we go!  Let’s do a Ben Edlund appreciation marathon!

We will take the top 5 episodes that win this poll and play them in chronological order.  As this is a celebration of all things Edluand, we will also be showing ‘Smile Time’ from Angel and ‘Jaynestown’ from Firefly before and after the Supernatural marathon.  Not a fan of either show?  No worries.  We’ll be placing those episodes before and after the 5 hour Supernatural marathon specifically so that those who are only showing up for Supernatural can do so.   Marathon will take place the weekend of June 7th & 8th at a yet to be determined time.  Keep your eye out for details!

Poll Closes June 4th, 11:59pm EST

Current Co-sponsors:  Keysmash Blog, Carry On SPN, Castiel Fan Network

  1. Whaaat, Ben Edlund is writing Supernatural? ARGH, now I HAVE to watch it…

    1. Ohh I like these. I think #EdlundRewatch is my personal favorite right now.

  2. I can’t believe “Nightshifter” is down so low. You all should watch it again. I just did, and it is awesome. But picking only 5, out of these is incredibly hard to do.

    1. I’m pretty surprised at the top 5 results, honestly. 4/5 of them are so incredibly sad! I was hoping for some fun, light hearted, Edlund joy, but people seem to want to cry a lot. But hey, you can vote as much as you want and change the order of things 😉

  3. The absolute best episodes – ON THE HEAD OF A PIN and THE END. Jensen is extraordinary and deserves an Emmy nomination. My least liked was the Hitler episode. I found it dull.
