In a show like Supernatural pretty much anything goes, the very structure of the show allows for a plethora of out of the ordinary storylines however there are a few stand out plot lines that are weird even in a show like this. Now these are in no particular order, nor do I really think any of these are more intensely weird then the others.
So let's get started with The French Mistake. Now this could be considered a jumping the shark moment for the show. Though it is an entertaining episode and one I genuinely enjoy, it's very out of the ordinary for the world. This is a very intense show and this episode really pulls you out of the world. Though it could be argued that that is the point, considering that at this point in the series it is getting pretty dark, this episode very easily could have been an attempt to alleviate that a little bit. Still it's a strange time for the episode.
The whole God has a sister storyline is the most batshit thing the show has ever done. God finally becoming an actual player in the show was one thing and truthfully the show was already running out of steam at this point. But it was clear that the writers were struggling for a way to up the stakes, even though at this point the boys had faced the apocalypse about 10 times. So bringing in someone bigger and badder than God seemed to be their only move. The real problem with this storyline is that the fact that her existence just never came up before seems really…convenient. It’s kind of ridiculous that the boys spent seasons upon seasons dealing with God and everything that surrounds him and no one ever knew that he had a sister. It was just one step too far.
At the very end of that God has a sister storyline is another batshit crazy moment, God and his sister bring Mary Winchester back from the dead. This was actually a good attempt at bringing back the family feeling of the show as that is the emotional tie that carried the show for so long. And though bringing Mary back and shattering the boy's image of her was a realistic use of her character it wasn’t necessary. The thing that has kept these boys going for 11-12 seasons was the fact that they loved each other and they believed in the power of family. So to have their mom completely abandon them after being brought back to life and depict her as someone who doesn’t really care about them was a lot and very unnecessary.
Look Curtis Armstrong was amazing, he’s a great actor and made the character as insufferable as he should have been, however the real gripe I have with him is a single episode. It was the one fully centered on Metatron and told from his perspective. I don’t think it was needed nor do I think it was enjoyable. Metratron really didn’t qualify as a “big bad” and he seemed to just be a very annoying side quest that the boys were forced into.
My first super cringe storyline from Supernatural was Sam drinking demon blood in order to strengthen his psychic abilities. Not only is that super gross but you are telling me that there was no other way for him to exercise his powers and learn to use them better? It's just a lot, I understand and actually really love Sam teaming up with Ruby to learn to exorcize demons with his mind I just don’t think the demon blood aspect added anything to that story.
Overall the show started off really good. And I think it had a very good run of good seasons but there are quite a few off the wall storylines that weaken the overall story and show as a whole.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
So we’ve done season 1 and talked about the major decisions that moved the plot along in the first season. And these videos are going to get a little longer as the show goes on because the subject matter also gets heavier. And some of the decisions that are made hit really close to home for me because I am also someone who has struggled with my mental health for quite a while now. And I think I’m going to do BoJack Horseman in congruence with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend because I do see a lot of parallels that I want to talk about. So with that, season 2 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

Good Night and Good Luck”: Why These Four Words Still Matter in a Noisy World
Few phrases in modern media history carry as much weight as “Good night, and good luck.” Simple, calm, and almost understated, the line became famous through legendary American journalist Edward R. Murrow, who used it to sign off his television broadcasts in the 1950s. Decades later, the phrase resurfaced as the title of George Clooney’s acclaimed 2005 film, reminding audiences that its message is not locked in the past. In an age of information overload, misinformation, and shrinking trust in institutions, these four words feel more relevant than ever. The Origins of a Quiet Defiance Edward R. Murrow worked during one of the most politically charged periods in U.S. history: the era of McCarthyism, when fear of communism led to blacklists, censorship, and public intimidation. Murrow’s broadcasts did not rely on shouting or sensationalism. Instead, he practiced something radical for his time — measured truth-telling. When Murrow ended his programs with “Good night, and good luck,” it was not a throwaway farewell. It was a subtle acknowledgment of uncertainty. Viewers were navigating a world shaped by fear, propaganda, and political pressure, and Murrow knew that journalism alone could not guarantee safety or justice. What he could offer was honesty — and a wish for resilience. Journalism as a Moral Act The phrase came to symbolize journalism not as entertainment, but as a civic responsibility. Murrow believed that the press should challenge power when necessary, even when doing so carried professional or personal risk. His calm confrontation of Senator Joseph McCarthy remains one of the most studied moments in broadcast history, precisely because it relied on facts rather than theatrics. In today’s media environment, where outrage often drives clicks and algorithms reward extremes, Murrow’s approach feels almost revolutionary. “Good night, and good luck” reminds us that journalism’s strength lies not in volume, but in credibility and courage. A Film That Revived the Message George Clooney’s film Good Night, and Good Luck reintroduced Murrow’s philosophy to a new generation. Shot in stark black and white, the movie avoided modern spectacle and instead focused on newsroom debates, ethical dilemmas, and the quiet tension of speaking truth to power. The film resonated because it was not just about the 1950s. It was about any era in which fear threatens free expression. Clooney’s work suggested that the fight for honest journalism is not a single historical moment, but a recurring challenge. Why the Phrase Still Resonates Today In the digital age, information travels faster than ever — but truth often struggles to keep up. Social media has blurred the lines between opinion, fact, and performance. Deepfakes, manipulated headlines, and viral misinformation make it harder for audiences to know what to trust. Against this backdrop, “Good night, and good luck” feels like a quiet anchor. It acknowledges that certainty is rare, that truth-seeking is difficult, and that integrity matters even when outcomes are unclear. It is not a promise of victory, but a commitment to effort. Beyond Journalism: A Broader Meaning The power of the phrase has expanded beyond newsrooms. It now speaks to anyone navigating uncertainty — students questioning authority, artists pushing boundaries, activists challenging injustice, or ordinary people trying to stay informed in confusing times. At its core, the message is human. It recognizes fear without surrendering to it. It accepts risk without glorifying recklessness. And it reminds us that sometimes, all we can do is act with principle and hope for the best. The Cost of Silence Murrow once warned that television could teach, illuminate, and inspire — but only if people chose to use it that way. Otherwise, he cautioned, it would merely distract. That warning applies equally to today’s digital platforms. Silence, complacency, and passive consumption allow falsehoods to flourish. “Good night, and good luck” challenges both creators and audiences to stay engaged, skeptical, and thoughtful — even when doing so is uncomfortable. A Message for the Future As societies face political polarization, climate anxiety, technological disruption, and global instability, the phrase endures because it does not pretend to have easy answers. Instead, it offers something rarer: moral clarity without arrogance. It reminds us that truth is not guaranteed, freedom is not automatic, and courage often appears in small, quiet choices rather than dramatic gestures. Conclusion “Good night, and good luck” is more than a sign-off or a film title. It is a philosophy — one that values truth over noise, integrity over popularity, and responsibility over convenience. In a world that often rewards certainty, Murrow’s words accept uncertainty while refusing surrender. And perhaps that is why, after all these years, they still feel like advice worth carrying with us — into the night, and into whatever comes next.
