Supernatural - Season 2 Part 1
ReviewsThe dead should stay dead - didn't you see Pet Sematary? Review date: 2007-08-02 Rating: 8 out of 10 After witnessing the death of their mother by paranormal means, (she was sucked up into the ceiling and then burst into flames) two brothers, Sam and Dean, travel all over America to avenge her death. They hunt demons, ghosts and whatever else they can find in the hope that they will eventually capture and kill the demon responsible for their mother's demise. Supernatural is one of the shows that is destined to follow in the footsteps of Buffy and X files, becoming a truly great dark fiction series. Season Two opens following the explosive Season One Finale. The Winchesters (Sam, Dean and their father John) are all in hospital recovering from a violent car crash. Sam and John are recovering well; however, Dean awakens only to find that he is having an out of body experience and is likely to die. Never fear, Dad comes to the rescue and makes a deal with someone that you should never make deals with (did the story of Faust teach us nothing). John Winchester exchanges his life for Dean's and with his last breath whispers into Dean's ear that someday he may have to kill his brother because Sam has a destiny that definitely will be tainted with darkness. As the two brothers try to figure out what will happen to Sam and if they can stop it, they embark on a series of scary, humorous and entertaining adventures. Armed with shotguns filled with rock salt they encounter everything from Psycho Carnies in Clown Suits to Dead chicks that can run. In the first part of Season Two we meet a few new characters, the best of which is Ash, a redneck MIT dropout who is all business up front and a party in the back. I hope that he will become a series regular, as he is a witty and welcome addition to the cast. We also learn a bit more about Sam's destiny as the first part of Season Two is full of intriguing hints about revelations to come. The first Season of Supernatural was a great watch and the first part of Season Two does not disappoint. Therefore, if you love programmes that are filled with movie references and storylines that are steeped in myth and legend, you will love Supernatural. Get in the Purple nurples and draw the curtains cos u will be hooked!! Review date: 2007-07-29 Rating: 10 out of 10 I haven't bought a half season of a show before but I just couldn't wait til the complete series became available. This show is so addictive! I know a lot of guys like it but it really is for the girls. Dean and Sam are just so hot! So the season starts with John selling his soul to the devil in order to save Dean and of course that comes with endless angst and a vow from Dean to protect Sam or to.....well, I won't spoil it for you! So the two continue their road trip killing all sorts of things along the way. The season really starts off well and there are some other hunters who turn up to cause mischief, namely Gordon who is pretty evil. My favourite for the season comes in the second volume though when Sam decides to hook up with a werewolf and the genius Tall Tales with the infamous Purple Nurples. I could not stop laughing and really think it's one of TV's great moments. Also have to love the season finale especially the music - Carry on My Wayward Son. If you like it, check out some of the videos made on youtube. As in the first series, the wisecracks belong to Dean with some in-jokes along the way, like when Dean suggests going to LA to save a girl who has been kidnapped by an evil cult (Katie Holmes). There's also a star turn from Linda Blair the little girl from the Exorcist. This show has it all, the cool car, the sexy men I mean, even their dad is hot. Well worth the money! Not bad at all Review date: 2007-06-18 Rating: 8 out of 10 I watched the first season and was pleasantly pleased by what I saw, not being a girl or in it for the eye candy I wasnt sure what to expect but the plot is compelling enough to keep the whole things working even if some of the spooks seem a bit to " Buffyisque " for my liking. The second season so far does away with that in the sense its more pyschologically driven . The acting chemistry which was the most enjoyable thing for me is still right up to scratch and we get to see some new characters ( redneck IT whizz with mullet ) who look like they might play some factor in future storylines too. Some episodes are bit lack lustre ( zombie girlifriend and bad cope one ) and the never ending trend of nice lookin sing mother parents are still there - though not as abundant so over all this hold up well. Not so much of change as tweaking I would say , a toning down perhaps of the hunt and kill regime , more intrigue and so better IMO. If I was to pick id give it 3 and half so far buts that only based on this half of season 2 and fact 2 episodes were prob the worst of the seris yet, the next half I will wait and see.. Best show to come to the small screen in a very long time Review date: 2007-06-17 Rating: 10 out of 10 This show just keeps on getting better and better. Although in the opening of season 2 we have some loss to contend with. The departure of JDM from the show was always going to happen, just had to see how and when, we found that out in epsoide one 'In my time of dying', where John makes a deal with the YED himself. Dean and Sam once again, get to travel across the country fighting evil. Dean is very angry with life in general. he feels guilty for what his father did for him. We meet some different hunters this season, one in particular called Gordon. Gordons character is very much like Dean in season one, get the job done no matter what. The boys also meet someone from their fathers past. We also have Bobby back on a more regular basis. There will be secrets revealed this season. There will be Reapers, Clowns, Vampires, Zombies, People like Sam and many more adversaries to contend with, that is just in the first half of this fanstatic show. You feel the emotions the brothers feel, you laugh one minute with them and cry the next. If you have not seen Supernatural on the small screen, please buy the boxsets from Amazon, you will not be disappointed. This is by far the best show to come to the small screen in a long long time, give it a watch, you will not be disappointed.
