This week, we’re unmasking some serious Supernatural intrigue in Season 1, Episode 6: “Skin.” Sam and Dean roll into town to help one of Sam’s college friends, only to discover a shape-shifter who’s been framing everyday folks for gruesome murders. Things get personal when the creature takes Dean’s form—making him look even more wanted than usual. (Seriously, how many laws can Dean violate without ever seeing a prison cell?)

Directed by Star Trek: Voyager alumnus Robert Duncan McNeil, this episode sneaks in a cheeky Vulcan reference—yes, Dean apparently knows a thing or two about pointy-eared logic. We’re chalking it up to a nod from the director himself. Of course, the real standout moment is that heartfelt reminder: “Your brother has a lot of good qualities. You should appreciate him more than you do.” Because even if Sam and Dean are knee-deep in shape-shifters, family has its own brand of supernatural power.

Expect plenty of whodunit flavor as we track the shape-shifter’s gory trail and wonder if Dean’s crime counter is about to hit a record high. Between the brotherly banter, the Star Trek easter eggs, and the shape-shifter’s chilling ability to mimic anyone, “Skin” delivers a tense thrill ride that puts an offbeat spin on classic horror tropes. So buckle up for another big hunt—just be sure you’re sitting next to your Dean, not some gooey imposter!

This week, we’re tackling Supernatural Season 1, Episode 5: “Bloody Mary,” where the show delivers some serious “creepy girl in the mirror” vibes that make us wonder if The Ring time-traveled to crib ideas. Sam and Dean’s latest ghost hunt involves exploding eyeballs (yup, it’s as nasty as it sounds) and a teenage-gossip-style dare that conjures an angry spirit with a chip on her shoulder.

While Sam wrestles with his guilt—making him the perfect Bloody Mary target—Dean continues to bend (break?) the law at every turn. Yet somehow, he’s still free to crack jokes and race the Impala around Eric Kripke’s hometown. We also chat about how “Mirror Ex Machina” might be a convenient yet cringey plot device, and why it’s still weirdly fun to watch. Plus, Steph shares all the background scoop on Kripke sneaking references to his Ohio roots, proving once again that everything’s connected in the Supernatural world…especially those creepy mirrors.

So if you’re ready for watery-haired nightmares, ocular explosions, and plenty of illicit lock-picking, join us for a deep dive into the Winchesters’ reflection obsession. Just maybe don’t say her name five times in a row, okay?

Strap in for our fourth episode of Our Sci Fi World, where Jeff (the total Supernatural newbie) and Steph (the ever-patient industry insider) take on “Phantom Traveler”—and wind up comparing it to the Fringe pilot in more ways than one. If you love plane-crash mysteries, demon possession, or the sweet nostalgia of Dean Winchester using a flip phone like it’s 2005 (which it was), this is the episode for you.

Steph shares some behind-the-scenes speculation on how the NTSB crash site might have been nothing more than a cleverly cleared-out soundstage, while Jeff makes a bold prediction about the series that catches her completely off-guard. Will he be proven right in future episodes? Let’s just say…Steph might need a poker face next time.

Expect loads of low-key laughs, high-flying theories, and a dash of that classic Supernatural creepiness. Whether you’ve watched every episode a dozen times or you’re brand new to the Winchesters’ world, join us for a fun, spoiler-tinged conversation that showcases our couple dynamic and a genuine love for sci-fi, horror, and well-timed pop-culture references.

Tune in for fresh perspectives, behind-the-scenes guesses, and plenty of playful debate. Let’s keep those seats in an upright position, because Phantom Traveler is one turbulence-filled ride, and we’re happy to guide you through it—no flight attendant required. Safe travels, hunters!

“Dead in the Water” has our favorite demon-busting brothers diving headlong into a mystery at the local lake—and in this week’s episode of our Supernatural rewatch-and-react, we (Jeff and Steph) have plenty to say! Steph can’t help letting a few future plot points slip (apparently, spoiler warnings are optional), while I, Jeff, experience it all for the first time through my wide-eyed sci-fi lens. Along the way, we break down how Dean almost gets a character deep-dive...but doesn’t quite, and how Sam’s and Dean’s sibling tension is a realistic snapshot of how any relationship evolves under pressure—boundaries get tested, dynamics shift, and the arguments are all part of the ride.

Steph, with her behind-the-scenes industry know-how, geeks out over the show’s practical effects versus CGI, pointing to that ultra-creepy shot of a face emerging from the water. Turns out, good old-fashioned practical tricks can still outshine digital wizardry—especially when you want to induce goosebumps. We also poke fun at the overzealous sheriff who apparently sonar-scanned the lake every time someone sneezed, and yet discovered…absolutely nothing. And can we give a round of applause to Andrea, the day player who made a splash despite the limited screen time? She definitely earned her spotlight.

Listen in as we banter about everything from the Dead in the Water plot setup to the show’s subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) foreshadowing, all while navigating our own relationship dynamic—Steph the Supernatural-savvy rewatcher, and me, the newbie sci-fi fan, finally discovering what all the fuss is about. If you love brotherly bickering, moody lakeside towns, and that signature creepy factor only Supernatural can deliver, this one’s for you. Dive in with us for behind-the-scenes gossip, spirited relationship chatter, and plenty of spoiler-y confessions that keep our watch party off the rails in the best possible way.
