Review: Ah, Season 2. By far the best season of Supernatural, at least in my humble opinion. This is the season where Sam’s dark secret begins bubbling up to the surface, Dean faces death and meets a Reaper, my fear of clowns only escalates, Amber Benson, Tricia Helfer, Aldis Hodge and Linda Blair guest star, the subject of angels is approached for the first time giving clues into the Winchester’s futures, the boys go to prison, and the yellow-eyed demon makes a return for a phenomenal season finale which will leave you in tears. Plus werewolves, zombies, djinn, Jo and Ellen Harvelle, and the Trickster all make their first appearances. A brilliant season overall and will probably will always be my favorite.
To those who have never watched Supernatural, let me give you a bit of background. Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) Winchester are brothers who drive the back roads of America in their sexy ’67 Chevy Impala trying to find the demon that killed their mother. Along the way they pass the time by hunting the things that go bump in the night and keep all us oblivious people safe (what Dean refers to as “saving people, hunting things: the family business”).
Supernatural, Season 2: The Official Companion does a good job at giving us background information on each and every episode, the cast and the crew. As well as folkloric information on the creatures in the Supernatural verse. There’s also character bios as well as some thoughts from the actors on their characters. Reading these really made me miss some characters *sigh*. The book wraps up with “22 Helpful Hints for Aspiring Monster Hunters”, written by Dean Winchester himself. Definitely a must for Supernatural fans! 4/5.
