Supernatural: 9 Time Travel Episodes, Ranked Worst To Best

As Supernatural is coming to a close, fans will look back at the 15-year journey taken by Sam and Dean Winchesters. While fighting monsters and demons, Sam and Dean also embarked on some time-traveling in these past 15 seasons.

While both Sam and Dean have experiences with time-traveling, records show that Dean has the most experience with it. Regardless, both brothers came across new information and periodical wisdom through their time-traveling adventures. While some of the time-traveling episodes were comic-relief for the brothers' stories, several of the time-traveling episodes have some sentimental value to the brothers, especially when seeing their family.

9 My Heart Will Go On (2011)

In season 6, episode 17, "My Heart Will Go On," Balthazar goes back in time to stop the tragic sinking of the Titanic. He does this simply because he hated the song from the 1997 movie Titanic. However, the change in timeline leads to a ripple effect and leads to the unfortunate deaths of the Titanic passenger's descendants. However, when Sam and Dean's lives are at risk, they take matters into their hands.

This episode may have the least amount of time-travel shown on-screen and may be considered as more of an alternate timeline than time-traveling. Nevertheless, this time-related episode does have its sentimental and funny moments. "My Heart Will Go On" even had a brief appearance of the Harvelles that allowed fans to see their favorite female characters in Supernatural.

8 The Vessel (2016)

Lucifer, who possessed Castiel's body, helps the Winchesters to find a weapon that is needed to defeat Amara. They realize that the Hand of God may be the best option, but it has not been seen since 1944. Both Lucifer and Dean go back to 1944 to find the weapon and stop Amara once and for all.

Though this time-traveling episode is not as humorous or as sentimental as some of the other time-traveling episodes, it does have its emotional moments due to the already tragic ending set to happen on the USS Bluefin. The accepted fate by Delphine and her crew left viewers saddened regarding the consequences of war.

7 Time After Time (2012)

In season 7, episode 12, "Time After Time," the brothers come across the God of Time. Unfortunately, Dean travels back to 1944 but not without meeting America's most notorious agent, Eliot Ness. In the present world, Sam gets Jody's help to bring his brother back.

Though this episode was a filler episode, most fans will find that this episode was fun and hilarious, particularly with the pop culture references to mobster movies. However, it was Dean's love for the crime film, The Untouchables, that left him fanboying through the episode. However, he soon realizes that the movies do not always mimic real-life events.

6 Frontierland (2011)

When they need answers to stop Eve and the Leviathans, the Winchesters realized that they need to meet the colt maker, Samuel Colt. This meant that the brothers were going back to the Old West in 1861.

Between the brothers, it was Dean who had the time of his life due to his fascination for Western movies and his opportunity to see the Old West. While season 6, episode 18, "Frontierland," had its fun moments, the episode also provided more answers about the colt that was used in previous seasons and even had paradoxical moments that would impact the brother's eventual future.

5 As Time Goes By (2013)

Given that Sam and Dean have at least met their mother's side of the family, they knew little about their father's side. All they knew was that Henry Winchester had left his family when John was a kid and never saw his father again. However, the full story comes into play with season 8, episode 12, "As Time Goes By."

Contrary to their father's story, Henry Winchester actually time-traveled to the year 2013 in hopes of seeing his son. Instead, he meets his grandsons and learns about everything that happened to John since Henry's disappearance. The Men of Letters story was first introduced in this episode, which became the current precedence to the final seasons of Supernatural. Though the brothers do not time-travel and Henry never goes back to his time, it still gave a great overlook of the relationship between Henry and his grandsons.

4 The Song Remains the Same (2010)

When an angel named Anna goes back in time to kill newly-wedded Mary and John Winchester to prevent the apocalypse, Sam and Dean travel to 1978 to stop Anna from killing their parents. However, due to Dean's encounter with Mary in an earlier meetup, their chance to save them becomes even more complicated and awkward.

In one of the more emotional episodes of Supernatural, season 5, episode 13, "The Song Remains the Same" marked the first time that Mary, John, Sam, and Dean were in the same room together. This was perhaps the closest moment for the brothers to have a memory of their family together, particularly for Sam, who never really got to know his mother.

3 The End (2009)

As the apocalypse is near, Dean gets a glimpse of what the future will look like when Sam eventually becomes possessed by Lucifer. However, not only does he worry about the outcome presented about his brother, but the actions and lack of humility by his future self frighten present-day Dean Winchester.

While several of these time-traveling episodes go back to the past, season 5, episode 4, "The End," is the only Supernatural episode that depicts events from the future. While it is considered more of an alternate universe, the episode shows scary events that occurred in the future. This episode is also considered one of the darkest episodes in the series. While Padalecki gives a poised performance of Lucifer-Sam, Ackles gives a heartbreaking performance as Dean Winchester witnesses his failure as a big brother.

2 Mystery Spot (2008)

While investigating a disappearance case, Sam is living through his worst nightmare of watching his big brother die over and over again. Despite his attempts to protect Dean, it seems impossible that he could even save him. However, Sam does everything he can to go back to normal, where Dean turns out alive and well.

Though "Mystery Spot" is not necessarily an all-out time-traveling episode, it still integrates elements of time with a time loop. Regardless, this 11th episode in season 3 is considered a fan favorite due to the funny story concept and great performances by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Fans will also not forget one of the best songs played in the show with Asia's "Heat of the Moment." 

1 In the Beginning (2008)

Before Mary Winchester became an integral character in the show's later seasons, the appearance of Mary Winchester seemed rare in the show's earlier seasons. In season 4, episode 3, "In The Beginning," fans were introduced to a young Mary Winchester and learned about her family's past as hunters.

Most importantly, most fans will know that Dean is a mommy's boy. Unlike Sam, Dean had memories of his mother before her unfortunate murder by the yellow-eyed demon, Azazel. It was a sentimental episode for Dean Winchester to learn more about his mother and to spend time with her. Unfortunately, his moments with his mother are short-lived when he becomes partially responsible for the deal between Azazel and Mary, along with the inability to prevent the deaths of his maternal grandparents.
