Say, what do you call a show with two pretty boys with
hand-to-hand, firearms melee weapons training? Welp about this time them
Winchester boys got themselves in a peck of trouble banged up the Impala and
shook Pappy about. So pop this DVD in,
grab a soda and some chips. This is
Supernatural Season 2.
Spoilers can be found
at a crossroads…
Hospitalized after a major car accident Dean Winchester (Jensen
Ackles of Days of Our Lives, Dark Angel, Dawson’s Creek and My Bloody Valentine)
wakes from a coma under mystical means as his father gave his soul to save his
boy to the same demon that took his wife.
Brother Sam (Jared Padalecki of Flight of the
Phoenix, Gilmore Girls, House of Wax, Cry Wolf and Friday the 13th)
informs Dean what happened to Dad.The irony was steeping against the
Winchesters to an epic level. This season
we have more than a few familiar guest stars appear this season, such as: Emmanuelle Vaugier (Saw II and Painkiller Jane) Dan Gauthier (Tour of Duty, Teen Witch and Son in Law)
Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Burn
Notice, Warehouse 13, Dark Blue and The Firm) Gary Cole (Midnight Caller, Office Space, Crusade, Family
Affair, Kim Possible, Wanted and The West Wing) to name a few. Our young hunters are trying to carry on the
mission their father assigned with to safeguard them and preserve them,
sacrificing their normal childhood but giving them skill and will to spare
future children the losses they have felt.
Wither from bad jokes, cheeseburgers or half assed bonding moments the
brothers are there for each other as best as they can be. The yellow eyed demon that slew the boys’
mother has been concocting a plan that has span over 2 decades and our heroes
must thwart his plans.
We are also
introduced to Ellen (Samantha Harris of The Evidence, The 4400,
Gray Matters and V) a former hunter now bar owner of her own roadhouse
for hunters. This season also has one of the better
villains The Trickster from episode 15.
This is so worth the watch, folks and no not to be confused with the
Flash’s villain played by Mark Hamill.
A few things of note pointing out the FX linked to this
series. TV and movie makeup crew Andrea Manchur (Sanctuary, X-Men: The Last Stand,
Kyle XY), Toby Lindala (X2,The
Butterfly Effect, Final Destination 3 and Lost Boys: The Tribe) and
Julie Beaton-Pachauer (X-Men: The Last Stand, Scary Movie 4, TRON:
Legacy and The Cabin in the Woods) which in junction with some of the
CGI, handheld cam, zooms and fair amount of dolly track the creatures have
scope, definition and frankly are creepy as hell.
Seasoned Visual Effect supervisor Ivan Hayden (Stargate SG-1, Andromeda, Special Unit 2,
Damaged Care and Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed) along with Grant Lindsay (Warriors of Virtue, Voyage of
Terror, Air Bud 3, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses and Andromeda) have
brought us spooks, specters and demonic effects that could very well rival most
movie productions. As each season seems to progress, the writers
up the ante and the monsters seem to be a bit wilier to thwart the Winchester
boys. So grab a copy from CD Universe,
Netflix or heck hit your local video store if you have one in your
neighborhood.
