About this section
The questions a rewatch keeps raising
This is the reading room of the Supernatural wing. The games and sorting quizzes are next door; this side takes the questions that surface on a rewatch, or halfway through a first watch, when the show assumes you remember a rule from four seasons back. How is a vampire actually killed here? Where do archangels stand against ordinary angels, and where does a King of Hell stand against either? Who are the two brothers at the centre of it all, and the angel and the demon who spent the longest beside them?
The ground is the fifteen seasons that aired from 2005 to 2020, the first on The WB and the rest on The CW, with a row in the works table for the prequel The Winchesters. The monster pages keep to the show's own rules, which part company with older folklore on purpose. Where the folklore itself is the question, the wing's lore reference already answers it, and these pages point there rather than repeat it.
Wikidata, the Supernatural Wiki and an episode list
Air dates, cast credits and the episode total come from Wikidata. Everything else, from a monster's weakness to the episode in which a character first turns up, is credited to the season or episode where it happens, and each credit names the reference it was found through: a revision of the Supernatural Wiki, an English Wikipedia article on that season or character, or the TVmaze record of the episode. TVmaze's episode list did one more job here, turning the titles the wikis use into plain season and episode numbers.
No episode titles, no music, no retelling
Episodes are named by season and number only, never by their titles, because so many of the show's titles are borrowed from songs, and this wing prints no song title or band name anywhere. Nor does any page retell an episode. A page may say in a single line of fact that a character dies in the final episode, and spend its prose on why the story wanted that, but it never stages the scene, never reports who said what, and never walks through an hour in the order it was shown.
Corrections go to the Supernatural room
Corrections belong in the Supernatural room on the forum, where a fix is checked against the page's own sources before anything on it changes, and where the arguments the show never settled can carry on at whatever length they need. For lighter company the wing's daily games, its monster identifier and its viewing-order planner are a click away, and the cards further down this page point at a handful of the wing's games and references.

Questions about this section
Is this an official Supernatural site?
No. It is a fan-made, unofficial part of Iron Realms, a free strategy game site. Warner Bros. Television and The CW have not endorsed it and are not affiliated with it, and the show's name is used only to say which fifteen seasons these answers are about.
Where do these Supernatural answers come from?
Air dates, cast credits and the 327-episode total come from Wikidata. Everything else is credited to the season or episode itself and to the reference it was found through, the Supernatural Wiki, a Wikipedia season article or TVmaze, each printed with its revision.
Do these Supernatural pages summarise episodes?
No. Episodes are cited by season and number, never by title, and a page states an outcome, such as who is alive when the last of the fifteen seasons ends, only as a one-line fact. The prose argues about why it happened; it never stages a scene or retells an hour.
