When i first heard about new show called Supernatural years ago, couldn't care less was my first impression. C'mon, two pretty boys cruising around America slaying monsters and saving hot babes was something that smelled little too much like Buffy/Angel, X-Files, Smallville thingy for teenagers. Nevertheless i decided to watch first season from DVD-box that i borrowed from a friend. Must say that i wasn't sold even then, it was not half as bad as i had thought, but no way great either. Okay, first season cliffhanger was good and in to the second season i went. Then funny thing happened when i watched werewolf-episode "Heart", Sam and Dean had surprisingly evolved in to fully rounded characters, and series really got...heart. After that road so far has been intriguing.
Yeah, Padalecki and Ackles may still be mainly "hot guys" for younger crowd, but both play their characters to the hilt. Supporting cast has also been solid, with kudos to Bobby, and mythology episodes are really something else. Supernatural is one rare beast in television with ability to mix humor and tragedy in the same episodes, and Eric Kripke and writers make it look so natural that it's downright scary.
However this fifth and last season will end, in triumph or tragedy (or both), Supernatural has been great ride and lesson to me that sometimes good things in television still happen with little patience.
