Supernatural: New Season, Rejuvenation.


Supernatural, oh how do I love thee? Dean and his bad attitude, that car—heavens help me, that car—and Sam. Poor, sweet, idealistic Sam. These are great characters, that’s not to say that every episode is great. Far from it, but the interactions between the brothers is gut wrenching. Their reactions and love is unwavering.

Codependency at its best—or worse, depending on your point of view.

But somewhere along the way, it seemed to lose it’s luster. Season 8 maybe? Season 9? It was a little less…interesting. The brothers seemed to be growing through the motions more. I still laughed at the funny moments, but I was less invested.

Until this season.  Season 11 is where it’s at. The show seems invigorated. The actors, the vibe, it’s all back and in fine form. Like a competing athlete and the energy in the first two episodes of season 11 are intense. It feels like it’s in a prime, which is crazy to say for a show that’s been on for 11 years.


The friendship between the lead actors, I think carries over and in a lot of ways carries the show. The new villain this year, the Darkness—okay, not a great name, but I even used that one once—is compelling. I can’t wait to see where they go with it.

My only complaint for the show is the direction of Crowley—what direction? He seems to be reactionary to his mom mostly, and that’s not my favorite subplot at all time. Even if the actress does a fine portrayal. And Cass.

Love Cass, but when was the last time we saw him? When was the last season he did something really meaningful. I’m ready for more Cass.

 Are you caught up with Supernatural? What’s your favorite moments of the new season?

Jill Cooper is the author of the series BLOOD LUST, coming out March 29th, 2016. Love the Winchester Brothers? Then you’re going to love the Blood Sisters. Full of sass, a zest for killing demons, and a knack for saving each other, they’re going to take the world by storm. One demon at a time. http://amzn.to/1NVGRWo

  1. Oh, so that's why Blood Lust seems exactly like a genderswap Supernatural fanfic.
