Product Description
Twenty-six years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. Subsequently, their father raised them to be soldiers. He taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America ... and he taught them how to kill it. This haunting series follows the Winchester brothers as they crisscross the lonely and mysterious back roads of the country in their '67 Chevy Impala, hunting down every evil supernatural force they encounter along the way. At the end of the fourth season, Sam unwittingly broke the final seal – that held Lucifer captive in Hell. Now, Lucifer is free, the Apocalypse is here and angels prepare for a spectacular final battle. Against a landscape of celestial violence, natural disasters and a rising human death toll, Sam and Dean, with the help of fallen angel Castiel, must find a way to achieve the impossible: Kill the Devil.

 The Devil Comes To Town September 4, 2010
Barry
The CW series "Supernatural" just keeps going and growing and growing. Season 5 was originally planned to be the final season for the series, but things, thankfully, changed. I have been a fan of this show from the very first episode. The series has continued to develop and deepen with each passing season. I certainly have my favorites, but there is no denying the richness and depth that each new year contains. That being said, season 5 would come in fifth place for me if I was to rank my favorite seasons. But first things first....
At the end of the wonderful season 4(which many believe to be the show's best season), the devil, Lucifer, was set free. The season 5 season premiere, "Lucifer Rising", picks up where we left off. Sam and Dean(Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles) prepare for the devil, learn shocking news about Castiel(Misha Collins), and Lucifer finds himself a host body. From here on out, the 22 episode season has the boys trying to find a way to stop Lucifer from bringing about the apocalypse. Those apocalypses are always pains! Like seasons past, there are fun, more stand alone episodes. "Fallen Idols" have certain objects of the past(like the car James Dean was killed in)killing people of the present. It's a fun idea, and it features a brief cameo by Paris Hilton. Yes, I said Paris Hilton. It's not as bad as you think. If you loathe Ms.Hilton, you should still be happy. Elsewhere, there is the absolutely hysterical "Changing Channels". Sam and Dean find themselves trapped in different kinds of TV shows - sitcom, hospital drama, CSI-type show, etc. It's a fun episode playing on the cliches of these shows, and gets a chance to take some digs on the overwhelming abundance of procedural and medical shows. It put a huge smile on my face. "The Real Ghostbusters" was a lot of fun as well. The boys go to a Supernatural convention, where people are dressed up like them, when they encounter a very real haunting. Another hysterical episode. After that, it's not a lot of fun and games. We are in Lucifer/Apocalypse territory, and it is the core focus of the season, even though you don't see a whole lot of Lucifer. "Abandon All Hope" is a massive episode that features a shocking demise; "My Bloody Valentine" is a pretty cool episode about a murderous Cupid; "The Song Remains The Same" is a sequel to season 4's "In The Beginning", when the boys travel back to the 70s to see their young parents. The finale, "Swan Song", is a little subdued and understated given we are dealing with the apocalypse. Still, the last several minutes had me on the edge of my seat contemplating the future of several characters.
Even though there is a lot of good in season 5, it is my least favorite. The whole storyline didn't seem to be as big as it should of been(probably thanks to budgetary reasons), and the second half of the season focused heavily on it and a number of the episodes all kind of ran together. This was the first season of the show where it was hard for me to differentiate some episodes. That being said, Ackles and Padalecki continue to do great work, and the direction of the show remains top notch. There was just a 'spark' that was missing from this season, that was apparent in all past seasons. A certain sense of fun just wasn't quite there. Maybe it was deliberate, given the dour situation of season 5's story arc, but it was a little hard going and boring in many places.
In the end, season 5 of "Supernatural", given it's shortcomings to me, still remained good TV, and will most definitley find it's way on my shelf next to the last 4 seasons, despite it not being quite as satisfying. However, the very end of the season finale sets up some very interesting questions for season 6. From what I have heard, season 6 will be a return to form. I am excited.
 Outstanding Series! August 31, 2010

This season proves that the series is still a fast-paced, exciting and worthwhile bit of entertainment. The acting, directing and production quality was awesome this year, but the writing was absolutely flawless. As a writer of fiction myself, I can tell you that there are very few well-written sci-fi shows out there, but the writing in this series kicks ass! The story line flows logically and secrets are only revealed in small increments at a time, which keeps up the mystery of the characters and of where the writers will eventually take them...Brilliant!
Best show on in years- will season 6 will be the last? August 23, 2010

I promised myself that I'd never get hooked on another television show again after Twin Peaks was cancelled years ago. I kept that promise for a long time. But when I saw the first season of Supernatural, I was hooked again- only more so- this time by a higher quality and more interesting show. With the original characters, writing, storyline, dialogue - not to mention the great acting, every season got better setting even higher standards and higher expectations than the last. Season 5 was no exception and included the best season finale yet. The entire series goes way beyond any horror show ever made. It has immense depth in all its aspects. Although in season 5, there was definitely less humor- but what can you expect after Armageddon starts. Although, I did miss some of the humorous bantering between the characters that was more prevalent in past seasons. This season also had some awesome episodes to lighting up the mood when needed. I have never purchased the DVDs to a series until now- and am looking forward to adding season 5 to the last four. My great concern is that season 6 will be the last- what can be topped by what season 6 has in store for all of us fans.
Better and better all the time!!!!! August 16, 2010

I absolutely love this show!! I can't wait for the dvd release so i can go back and watch this season all over again from the beginning. I am a little worried about where they're going to go with it next. Eric Kripke originally saw this as a five season show and the final episode for this season would have been a perfect series finale. I'm certainly not going to complain about having more supernatural, I just hope that season 6 holds up to the rest of them. I really hope they bring back Death! Could that guy have been any more creepy?
Supernatural is still rocking our TVs! August 14, 2010

First off, I'm a huge SPN fan and I have all the DVDs and companion guides. Season 5 had the several most important things: good storylines, humor (Changing Channels anyone?) and most of all acting. Hats off to Jim Beaver especially for Dead Men Don't wear plaid-the big Bobby Episode, Misha Collins as Castiel the angel whose phone related issues are hilarious as well as everything in 5x17, Jensen Ackles as Dean who can pull so much emotion into one episode, and Jared Padalecki as Sam who pulled off great facial expressions and emotions. We had two new additions that were fantastic: Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer and Mark Sheppard as Crowley. We also had a few returns from beloved characters (SPOILERS) . . . . . . . . like Ellen, Jo, the Trickster, Pamela, Mary W, and even Ash. I definitely can't wait for this to arrive. A few of my favorite episodes include
The End
Changing Channels
Abandon All Hope
My Bloody Valentine
99 problems
Point of no Return
etc
I just love it all =D some were weaker of course but its always still a great show and season
SPN FTW!
