Editorial Reviews

As Season 1 of this sci-fi hit closed, brothers Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) had found their missing father, John (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), and were on the trail of the demon that had killed their mother. Then, a devastating car crash occurred. Dean is near death in the Season 2 opener, "In My Time of Dying," and John offers himself to the demon in return for restoring his son's life. That decision proved to be the emotional punch this series needed, turning Supernatural from a mere monster-of-the-week sci-fi show to one with a real dramatic undercurrent. Adding to the tension is the fact that just before he dies, John tells Dean a secret about his brother -- and the mysterious powers of premonition Sam acquired -- that isn't revealed until the end of this 2006-7 season. Ackles stands out this year as he tackles both the guilt Dean feels over his father's death and the harrowing truth he must keep from his brother. As the season progresses, the brothers meet others who have similar strange powers, and they learn that the demon plans to create a supernatural army. In the fantastic two-part season finale, "All Hell Breaks Loose," Dean makes a sacrifice for Sam that rivals his father's, setting up a great story arc for Season 3. Other notable episodes this season include "Crossroad Blues," the events of which are touched upon in the finale; "Houses of the Holy," in which a priest thinks he's acting for God; and "What Is and What Should Never Be," which finds a djinn (or genie) attacking Dean, with interesting consequences. Excellent special effects, top-notch writing, and strong acting make Supernatural - Season 2 required viewing.
