...you should be.

Last night's episode, entitled "Criss Angel is a Douche Bag" (seriously) was awesome (other notable titles this season included "Are You There God? It's Me, Dean Winchester", "It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" which was one of the best eps of the series).

The entire season has been terrific. No bullshit, the show is delivering week after week after week, it's really hitting for me like the X-Files did during it's mid-run peak. It's not like anything else on television, much less anything on the CW. It delivers drama, it delivers emotion, it delivers horror, it delivers subtle comedy. I'm not sure it isn't one of the 2 or 3 best shows on all of television right now. Seriously. It's that good. Give it a look sometime if you haven't already.

Grading the entire 15 seasons with the lows, I’d probably say it’s like 7/10 but it is 10/10 at peak points.

That's a spot on assessment.

It just looked like it was shot on a porn budget with some piss poor acting. 15? 17? Something like that. You can tell that budget got slashed to the floor.

The nephilim, Jack, only came in around the last couple seasons. I don’t remember the exact scene you’re referring to but I would guess season 15 (the final season).

Personally, I always felt Supernatural’s budget looked low. The monsters look like crap, CGI is trash, sets are always very generic (hotel, Men of Letters bunker, secluded farmhouse, etc.). Thats standard for TV, though.
