Supernatural

[on:]

I was so sure I'd find this thread already here; I mean there got to be other fans out there. I have been following the show since the first season, and what a ride! Granted, some eps come out like cheap horror flicks cut to 42 mins, but most are edge-of-the-seat, gripping, close-to-heart-failure -grade suspense. I love all the 'old religion' aka witchcraft stuff, the demonic possessions and the angelic script rituals. Ah, and don't forget Bobby and his all-cast-iron panic room in the cellar. Bring on the chills and thrills, I'm in for the duration!

Bad news, after next season they are done

At least the creator, Dean, and Sam are

[Reply #2 on:]

Nooo! Really? How do you know, and why do you say "the creator, Dean and Sam"? As far as I know, no character that goes by the name 'the creator' has appeared in the series, unless you mean The Creator, as in God, the Lord, etc. Most unwelcome news anyway. 

[Reply #3 on:]

aww, I love supernatural.

[Reply #4 on:]

I meant the guy that created the show.  Also, there was a big article about it in Entertainment Weekly.  Or whatever that magazine is called

[Reply #5 on:]

I love this show. Too bad they are ending after season 5 but that was all they planned to do any way.... I think.

[Reply #6 on:]

The story lines do seem to start to approach an endgame of a sorts, now that the angels have joined the battle. Still, I thought the 66 seals would give the show all the material it needed to go on for a long time. The last season will be a killer for sure. I hope I miss none of it.

[Reply #7 on:]

Yay! Other Supernatural fans!!!

At first I was kind of dissapointed when the angels were brought in, and I despised Castiel, but now I love him so freaking much... I am kind of worried though that the plot will get too drawn out and there will be holes appearing soon...

My boyfriend made me watch the first episode of Gilmore Girls (wtf?) on the weekend and whatshisface who plays Sam was in it as a kid called Dean. Ho ho ho.

Does this show get anywhere after season 2? I can't remember when I stopped watching. I think it was during season 3.

[Reply #9 on:]

Yeah. Right now it's Apocalypse stuff. It's been good. You should start up again.

[Reply #10 on:]

Okay, once I get done watching Oz and Chuck I'll try. Also need to catch up on Heroes. I'm so far behind in everything.

Was the big truck/car accident at the end of season 1 or 2? Wait, I remember where I think I saw it to, Dean was soon going to be sent to hell because he made a deal with the devil.

[Reply #11 on:]

Season 3 was Dean's last year before hell.

[Reply #12 on:]

Is that like one's last year of high school..?

[Reply #13 on:]

Huh?

[Reply #14 on:]

Um there is a season six it premiers this Friday. Its going to be awesome, so I thought I would bring it up before the premier. I am really excited its going to be awesome. I think we can expect another 2 to 4 years of supernatural as long as the ratings stay up.

[Reply #15 on:]

Waittttttt how did Sam get out of the Satan Box. They spent three seasons establishing that was their only hope for beating Lucifer and he negates it five minutes after it happens because he wants to watch his brother eat dinner. This entire show is one big trolling, isn't it.

[Reply #16 on:]

It can feel that some times, but what can I say i am hooked. Maybe it is not Sam, maybe its Satan fawawawawwaa. Maybe the story will pick with Dean and Satan teaming up, lol. I actually am excited though for the new season. I think it is pretty awesome how they twist there mythology all over the place.

Did anyone see the last episode of season 5. How the hell did Sam get out of the devils cage. In the season 6 previews, it showed Sam got out some how. Any thoughts?

[Reply #17 on:]

I'm kinda torn on what I think of them doing a new season. I thought they ended the series pretty well and they were only planning 5 seasons to start and I didn't mind that so I'm a bit wary on this new season I'll give it a few eps before I fully decide.

I have clue.. Hopefully they come up with something good though...

[Reply #18 on:]

I can see what you mean, with the whole apocalypse thing. It kind of feels like,now what. The first episode was quite interesting indeed. I am a huge fan of the show, so I am going to stick in there. I think it will be good.

Spoiler warning! Click to show/hide!

I thought it was crazy that Samuel(sam and dean's mother's dad) was back some how. So there is something very strange going on. Of course the obvious that Sam some how got out of Satan's cage. So I do not think this is the end of the apocalypse quite yet. I mean if Sam got out, what is to stop Lucifer and Michael from getting out?

New episode tonight at 9 pm est, the previews look good.

[Reply #20 on:]

Oh yeah they moved the day episodes air to Friday... Yay for dvrs

[Reply #21 on:]

Ya well I got screwed tonight, apparently the tv station that airs the cw had a philies baseball game on tonight instead. Now I have to wait for next week for this weeks episode. I was really pissed.

[Reply #22 on:]

Oh damn. Stupid baseball...

[Reply #23 on:]

I actually do not like watching baseball on tv. It bores the crap out of me. Its cool to watch when your there, but that's about it.

[Reply #24 on:]

I actually don't mind watching baseball on TV though I much prefer it in person. As long as my recording of Supernatural isn't disrupted I'm good but even then I know other ways to watch it.

[Reply #25 on:]

O well, its all good, just have to wait until Friday. Then I get to watch it. I am over it now, where last Friday I considered destroying things.

[Reply #26 on:]

Did anyone else watch last weeks episode? It was pretty awesome, I like the feel of this new season. Jared Padaleckii got jacked up, that guy is huge. Good episode, I ended up missing episode two of season six because of that baseball game two weeks ago. I watched episode 3 last Friday. I had to go online to watch episode 2, o well.

[Reply #27 on:]

I forgot which episode that was but the latest ones have been good. Been keeping up with it better now.

Jared Paladeki is hot and yeah he is jacked.

Anyway,
I think that series deserves once more a bit of exposure.
Well, finished watching season 7. And I must say I quite liked it:

From season 4 on, the whole trend was getting imhO too big, too drama-y.
The coming apocalypse was just a too dominant theme. Also, there was hardly anything that could top the battle between Lucifer and Michael, and the writers do not really want God to take stage (which I can understand: "Is there a supreme being" is the last big question....should it be answered, the whole series will be deprived of much mystery).

Now, season 7 established the series early, more light-heated approach. A nice "let's not take things too serious" attitude. E.g. in the Amazon episode: It was quite a surprise that the villains -though being above human- suddenly could be killed by a single bullet.  Also, the ending even had some childish, juvenile undertone "Dean, you killed my friend, so I killed your "daughter"....nanana...". Black in humor, but with those deliberate childish undertones.

The Leviathans turned out to be excellent villains, and it was their earning that the series got "back on track".
- They featured a non-human appearance (let's face it: The demons and angels became too human in the end).
- Despite being Über-Monsters, they were not handled as such. They were like the early demons: Though, strong, difficult to kill...but not undefeatable, and with enough weaknesses to give them the business in several ways (keeping the conflicts interesting).
- Also, the masterplan was not as over-epic like the Apocalypse. The Leviathan's plan reminded me a bit of a Bond Villain's approach: Sure they do seek world dominance, but it had some "tongue-in-cheek" undertones.
- And there were enough interesting "side quest" episodes. The Apocalyse was a too dominant theme. You basically nearly fast forwarded to see what happens. While the Leviathans could have been left standing a tad on the sidelines, to let the Winchester fool around a bit with other themes.

All in all: Season 7 removed some weaknesses that crept into the series since season 4.

Season 13 is actually okay.  I'm confused.

[Reply #30 on:]

I'm two seasons behind.

[Reply #31 on:]

Season 12 had some okay parts too.  Lucifer plays in the sandbox.  I can't remember what 11's big thing was, and there was definitely a lull for a few seasons before that.  I won't spoil though (other than what I said about Lucifer, but that's guessable and I like his vessel actor).  If you get caught up, post your thoughts.
