Season 1, Episode 18: Something Wicked This Way Comes
Dean gets a second chance to right a wrong from his past when the brothers get a mysterious tip from their father about a case they'd worked years ago, but left unfinished after Sam was nearly killed by the creature. (Directly from IMDB)
Director: Whitney Ransick
Writers: Eric Kripke, Daniel Knauf, Sera Gamble
Set in: Fitchburg, Wisconsin
Gotta say, Dean’s right on this one: “Because I’m the oldest which mean’s I’m always right.”
I feel like if I were them, I would contact the actual CDC cause this involves children who are sick??
This is the creature that got Sam, isn’t it
This first season is so well written- not too horror-y, plenty of twists
This guy is totally draining the life of the kids.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, the dynamic of their characters shifts throughout the seasons: Sam’s absolute refusal to put any kids or people in danger shifts onto Dean after hell and Ben, and so does his reluctance to hunt and such. Dean’s guilt NEVER goes away though.
John Winchester is an asshole
Protective Dean Winchester!

Spn Rewatch
Season 1 Episode 18 Something Wicked Director: Whitney Ransick ( first lady) Written by: Daniel Knauf
I found myself saying "Fuck John" a bunch in this episode. Like Dean was what 12 at the oldest how the fuck do you leave a 12 year old to watch a kid and protect them cook for them and then blame them b/c you weren't around when a monster attacks. Dean has so much trauma dropped on him and he just uses it to fuel his self hate...my sweet baby Dean😫.. we get more lol isi'nt funny that ppl think the boys are gay 🙄 oh this is the second time we see the actress who later plays the angel Hannah my headcanon is that she's always the angel and she's been watching Dean b/c both times she gives him all the info he needs right away like this episode he's a grown man with no kids watching kids in a park asking questions and she doesn't even blink. Sometimes a creepy old lady is just a creepy old lady lol " I was sleeping with my peepers open" a great funny moment. I really loved the whole scene with Dean in the hospital when he finds out the doctor is the monster great tension love Dean having to keep his cool and its greatly acted by Jensen as usual. Good character work from Sam really starting to see how much Dean took care of him and making the brothers bond stronger. Most importantly from this episode that kid they saved is so scared for life.
This gets a B+

S1 E18 - Something Wicked This Way Comes
Director: Whitney Ransick
Writers: Eric Kripke, Daniel Knauf
Hopefully this episode doesn’t fucking suck
This just is a shot from an X-Files episode but I can’t remember which one.
OOH CREEPY HAND WE LOVE ITTT YESSSSSSS
Uhoh hopefully that girl’s ok
Following the dad clue huh. “He’s been so easy to find” right like he didn’t just come when you called that one tim.
Huh more sign communication but this time it’s all red vs black interesting color theory.
Wow no kid’s playing on a playground 2006 was a different time.
Dean picking up a milf
Oh no, this is the creepy S2 Buffy episode with the top hat guy. I love that episode but why do we have 2 Buffy ripoffs in a row.
Creepy old lady oh no is she a witch or... their MOM???? oh there’s an inverted cross she’s def evil, like they couldn’t have possibly made that more obvious. The shots in this episode are good also.
It’s weird watching a TV show where the production is so tight but the writing and acting are kinda blah.
THESE KIDS CAUGHT THE CURRENT from all these opens windows
How are they inside of this guy’s house
Creepy skeletal handprint
We’re getting young Dean flashback. I see he inherited the popped collar gene from his dad. I had hoped it was recessive.
Sam and Dean look like they’re the same age. They’re in a motel room??
Important detail for no reason but this is the first time I’ve been able to see clearly that Dean has hazel eyes.
Sam doesn’t remember his dad’s failings as a hunter interesting brother characterization
Can we please stop with the textual wincest jokes
Dean’s having “taking care of Sam” flashbacks and giving him all the lucky charms oh adorable I feel weird about these and idk why yet
She?
Sam not loving that Dean has all these memories that he doesn’t.
Wait ok I’m now having another what the fucking hell moment bc in this scene the costumer put Sam in a t-shirt that just has. A massive, fucked up looking dog on it. It is the weirdest shirt. Why does sam own this shirt
Oh no I hope it’s not the old woman from before that Dean spent like a million years staring at
Oh I remember this era of the 2000s when people would walk through the back of their too long jeans so the little pieces flapped behind them. The fact that Jarps jean’s are too long for him is hilarious because he’s already so fucking tall
Ok creepy old woman scene. Right because someone would just leave an inverted crucifix be
Hm I wonder if these idiots just kept their trees trimmed we wouldn’t have these problems anymore.
Jarps laugh is very stupid.
Dean having another little kid moment talking to a little blonde boy.
THANK GOD WE HAVE A DEAN SAYING “THIS IS NOT YOU’RE FAULT”
A accepting a lift to the hospital from a strange is uh not smart even when that person be Dean. Sam taking a phone call at the library what a naughty boy doesn’t he know it’s a quiet zone.
15-20 years back to the 1890s is like 5 different towns
Ah yes it’s the doctor. Sam probably shouldn’t have let Dean hang up the phone just then.
I love how the doctor still believes that Dean is a doctor when he’s got his popped leather jacket collar.
Wow Dean oh nooooo don’t talk about not firing your gun in a pediatrics ward.
We’re having a what’s the responsibility of children theme painted over with Dean’s weird childhood trauma about not being able to live up to his dad’s unreasonable expectations.
This monster is just emperor Palpatine but taller. Also I feel like Dean reacted as best he could in this situation lmao
Oh also John Winchester’s actor sucks also. Was he using his kids as bait??? Why else didn’t he drop them off at pastor Jim’s earlier.
Dean was like 12 when this happened. Why did Sam give up so quickly on the “you were just a kid” angle.
Ok so now we’re confronting the kid about this. He’s doing a good job stumbling his way through these scenes with clutching at the phone.
Dean suddenly getting the sense that the requests his dad made of him were unreasonable huh. Oh wait no the kid’s going along with it and we’re getting some stupid “you’d do anything for your brother” lines.
Dean literally telling a kid “we’re not gonna shoot you” what the fuck is this show
The kid is more afraid of getting shot than the monster which i feel like is reasonable but hilarious in the context of the show
Constipated iron rounds
Sam apologizing to Dean... Dean “Oh God kill me now” yeah I sort of feel the same.
I gotta give this monster props for always making the mast dramatic fucking entrances. Once again emperor Palpatine. Also the kid is just fully staring at the guy which apparently is fine I guess. We had to show the kid rolling under the bed so we know they didn’t shoot him which is fair I guess.
Oh the thing’s body didn’t vanish I guess because it has to attack Sam, unfinished business I guess.
Yeah this is feeding, not just leaning over a guy.
And now the body vanishes, but not before Dean shoots it a couple more times. We love being ineffectual.
Michael realizing that oh no SAM is the little brother.
Dean has problems.
Sam wishing he were Asher, Dean knowing he’s stuck as Michael. God this music is wayyy too literal for me to take it seriously.
I thought this episode was alright!! There were some rough points but I think we were sort of due for a “Dean has overprotective feelings in re: Sam” episode.
