* HeinousnessRetcon: Upon being prompted to investigate them by Ruby, Sam discovers that [[DemonLordsAndArchDevils Azazel]] had his [[FamilyExtermination mother's family, the Campbells, massacred]] to the point where he can't find any members who are still alive. Come season 6 and suddenly there are quite a lot of living Campbells, with them being able to pull together at least a dozen or so members, and at least two being specially stated to be the brothers' third cousins. At no point does either brother ask how they survived or even bring up the massacre.

Added DiffLines:

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Ben. He acts like a sixteen-year-old when he's ''eight'', or rather, he acts [[KidAnova like Dean would at sixteen]]. This is despite the fact that Dean had an extremely burdened and neglected childhood filled with trauma and Ben has been raised by a loving mother. The behavior is never remarked on as inappropriate or even that untypical.
