Oh jeebus, this post. I can relate to this post on a cosmic level. I love revisiting supernatural and am still convincing new people to watch it for the very first time. Because of this, I like to rewatch it with other people mostly- either to take in their first time excitement or to analyze every shot and story arc. I love rewatching early episodes and realizing that yes, this set is ALSO Bobby's house with yet another paint job and random furniture to make it look different. Or how Gordon was kinda right all along when he said that Sam was going to become a monster and how knowing what's going to happen later makes his actions take on a whole new perspective.
It's just one of those shows that I don't think I will ever fully move beyond. That being said, I did stop watching the new episodes some time ago. I slogged my way through season 6 but somewhere in season 7 or 8, I kinda got distracted by other things and never picked it back up.
As for favorite episodes to rewatch, I have a number I like from each season. Home will always be one of my all time favorites. I love the emotions that come from returning to the one place Dean has spent his life running from. He swore he'd never go back to Lawrence and that makes me wonder how many cases in and around Lawrence the Winchester boys passed up. I want a Caleb or Pastor Jim(?) fic where Dean/his father have heard about a case in or near Lawrence and they hand it off because of reasons.
Anyway, some of my other all time favorites are Asylum, Scarecrow, Faith, (oh God, Faith. It kills me in the feels. Every. Single. Time.) Hollywood Babylon, and Monster Movie. There are ton more and of course the big plot moving episodes like Swan Song make the list but the ones I rewatch the most tend to be case-centric. I do love a good marathon about once a year though.
