Gordon's generalization that all monsters deserve to die demonstrates the ideas of rule utilitarianism when he uses his past experiences as a guide that will produce the best possible outcome. Additionally, when Sam must confront the parts of himself that were contained behind the wall in his mind, Freud's concept of repressed memories manifests through his need to confront the memories he has repressed in order to get them back. Finally, when Dean refuses to kill a little girl while playing Death, he learns from the consequences of his action that everything happens for a reason and that the laws of nature are inescapable. When you spend an entire Saturday watching Supernatural, you risk missing many of the deep and philosophical concepts underlying the plot of each episode. The philosophies of Freud, the Utilitarians, and the Stoics are just some of the concepts that surround the series' plots. If this is true, then one must ask what philosophical concepts can be applied to other seemingly mind-numbing television programs.
