This is a short mini-synopsis/review of the Season 7 premiere of Supernatural. Yes, there are spoilers. This means, if you have not yet seen this episode, you have been warned, and you only get the bump to protect you from not seeing the spoilers.
Like the True Blood post I made earlier, I’ll go ahead and use the bullet method. It seems to be easiest way summarize things. Be warned. There are spoilers below! Don’t continue if you haven’t seen the episode! Spoilers after the bump.
Here’s a sneak peek of this week’s Supernatural episode, Meet the New Boss. Video after the bump.
So anyone who watched last night’s 2 hour season finale of Supernatural must have been surprised. Or maybe not so surprised. I certainly was. This post will contain quite a bit of spoilers, but rest assured, I will warn you before I go into spoilers.
For those who don’t know what Supernatural is, it’s a show about two brothers who have lost their parents in an ongoing battle against demons. They call themselves hunters, but they don’t hunt animals. They hunt monsters. They know about the things that go bump in the night, and they’re afraid of the dark because they Really know what’s out there.
Sam and Dean Winchester are the last line of defense against everything that’s evil. These guys are Really monster and ghost hunters.
This is where I will leave off and let you know anything after this will have spoilers for the season finale. If you have not watched the show or this episode and don’t want to be spoiled, then you should stop reading this post now. This will be like a mini-recap of the show(s), so if you’re just looking also to learn what happened and don’t care about spoilers, then feel free to read on.
Fair Warning: this is a pretty long post, since it covers 2 episodes. You’ve been warned!
SPOILERS ARE AHEAD, DON’T READ ON IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW! Again, sorry about the caps.
I’ve been a big Supernatural fan since about season 3. I remember when the show premiered, and I thought it was interesting enough. I never thought it would take off, only because shows like that never do. So I forgot about it. A couple of seasons later, sure enough, Supernatural is doing great and well. If you’re not sure what Supernatural is, here’s a short recap.
Supernatural is about two brothers who have grown up with the tragedy of losing their mother at a young age. Dean was a young kid and Sam was still a baby. It’s not enough that their mom had died when they were young, but their father finds out his wife was killed by a demon. Specifically, a yellow-eyed demon. Supernatural follows the “hunting” adventures of the Winchester brothers as they search for the demon who killed their mother and find their missing father.
The world of Supernatural is exactly the world that I would envision as a classic “urban fantasy” setting. This is a world where monsters exist. Vampires, werewolves, and zombies are only a small part of the world of Supernatural. The Winchesters, in their search for the yellow-eyed demon, end up becoming “hunters”; a small group of people who know what goes bump in the night, find them, and kill them.
That being said, the story of the Heart of the Dragon is about an ancient demon who trapped the soul of a Samurai and made it so his ancestors can call him up from the dead to do their bidding. Saying more about the story would probably reveal spoilers for those who haven’t read the book. Needless to say, after some mysterious deaths, the Winchester brothers are called to investigate. This book stays in the spirit of the TV show. The characters are exactly as they are in the TV show, and you won’t be disappointed. I Really liked the story. I’d recommend it for any fan of Supernatural.
As the author suggests, be sure to listen to some great tunes while reading the book. I personally recommend to at least listen to AC/DC and Blue Oyster Cult myself. There are plenty of songs to listen to, but nothing beats the classic Rock and Roll of the 70′s.
I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars.
Supernatural, a show about two brothers who happen to be hunters of a different sort, is now in its 6th season. For Sam and Dean Winchester, life has never been quite “normal”, whatever that may be.
For those of you who have not seen or heard about this series, I will have to let you know that there will be spoilers in this post, and I warn you not to read this entire post if you’re interested in seeing the series.
I do recommend seeing the series in its entirety from the beginning, as many story plot lines depend on what has happened before. While they do show a review of what’s happened before in some episodes, it’s not quite the same if you haven’t seen the actual show. So from here, I will cut the post in half and spoilers are after the bump. If you’re reading from an RSS reader, you might see the whole post, and for that I apologize, it’s a shortcoming of WordPress.
Ok, so as of late, I’ve been obsessing about the CW show, Supernatural. I’m highly anticipating the next new episode, “Sam, Interrupted” on January 21st, 2010. I love the episode titles, and you get a sense of what to expect (most of the time), and just love the humor that’s involved in the episodes.
I’ve Really been getting into it I think because this is exactly what I’ve been wanting to write about. Not necessarily the “angels vs demons” and apocalypse outlook, however, the ghost hunting and the monster hunting is right up my alley. I’m Really looking forward to the end of the series, and excited to see how they do finally treat the apocalypse.
For those of you who don’t know what the series is about, and are not watching it, (shame on you!) the basics are simple: it’s about two brothers who are raised to be hunters. But they don’t hunt animals. They hunt the things that go bump in the night, which are very real. Eventually you learn there are such things as demons, as well as angels. Very well put together. I strongly suggest checking this series out.
