#thats why i love season 9 despite all its hardships <3

[vesperscas]

i am being very serious when i say that slutstiel has a significant impact on supernatural's viewership. and i have evidence.

season 9 had a significantly higher viewership than its counterparts. for comparison, after season 4’s 3.14 million viewership, all the other seasons from 5 to 8 average about 2.4 million. and then s9 pops out with a whopping 2.81. 

let’s look closer at the individual episodes. 

you might have noticed the episodes labelled in red are among the episodes with the highest viewership. these are all the episodes in which castiel has his shirt unbuttoned and skin below his clavicle revealed. 

disregarding the spike of pilot and finale episodes, and the sudden increase in 9x12 (which coincided with the state of union address and hence had a spike), all of these episodes had the highest viewership in the season overall. 

therefore we can conclude that there is indeed a positive correlation between castiel unbuttoning his shirt and high viewership.
