Welcome back, Supernatural. How you’ve been missed! You left us for months after a redeeming eighth season that made up for the mess Season 7 left. You even joked about it with us, letting us know it wasn’t a solo clown trip. In Season 8 you were back in fine, if frenetic, form and you let us know you meant business.

Even after seven seasons of fighting, saving, dying and apocalypses, hearing the sweet refrains of “Carry on Wayward Son” still manages to bring a giddy excitement and no dearth of tears. Right away, we’re plunked back into Crowley’s machinations of messing around with any and all friends of the Winchesters and those they’ve saved.

Metatron’s made himself known and saved Kevin from Crowley’s directorial clutches. Crowley’s got the angel tablet which he reached in and took from Castiel’s gut. Castiel’s bleeding out from angel blade bullets and tablet removal when Dean and Sam nearly run him over. Sam is looking craptacular. Oh, and there’s a third trial waiting to happen. No big.

Supernatural’s again gone meta, subtly this time with a brand spanking new tangent. It’s a dirty pleasure watching Crowley describe to his black-eyed children how Sam and Dean talk and behave. Congrats, Crowley, you’ve reached troll-stalker levels.

The surprise and reveals in the episode were deep and touching. Finding out more of Charlie’s past fleshes out her character and tells the real reason she’s been running for so long. Sam slowly crumbles even more as Dean tries to hold on to all the pieces.

A lot of intensity gets packed into 42 minutes: Kevin Tran being taunted by Crowley. Sam finding *****. Dean re-killing ***** to save his brother. Events are flying into overdrive; you know a season finale is winging its way near. The let down in “Taxi Driver” is how quickly and easily everything is; not emotionally, mind, but in action.

The beauty of “Freaks and Geeks” is it shows a possible younger generation of hunters while exploring what it means to be family. Hunters are naturally alone, yet relying on a wider network of other hunters and information gatherers. What happens if hunters are raised as normal kids while hunting down the monsters?

With seven episodes left in Season 8, the Winchesters have a lot going on. Sam has completed one of the three trials; he’s also still coughing up blood since last week. Kevin hasn’t deciphered the second trial yet (it’s been three-plus weeks). Crowley knows about the angel tablet. Some crazy angel nasty is going on [...]

Supernatural is a dark, horror-filled supernatural Romeo and Juliet story with an ingenious comedic edge. Only in this version, Romeo lives and his brother Capulet, Dean, is Juliet 2.0. There’s also an Impala, demons, resurrections, and guns. Lots of guns. In September 2005, this unknown show premiered on The WB (now CW). Over 5 million [...]
