Supernatural: The Complete Fourth Season (Blu-Ray)

This is a show that only gets better with time. Every season the writers find new and creative ways to keep us coming back. We all knew that Dean would not stay in hell forever, and I was very curious how he would get out. Never did I imagine that in addition to all the demons and ghosts we would have angels too. This season the main story line revolves around the book of revelations in the bible. The demons are breaking the 66 seals nessasary to raise Lucifer from hell, and the angels are supposedly trying to stop it. It turns out that while Dean was in hell, he broke the first seal and put everything in motion. Dean, Sam and Bobby are working their hardest, along side the angel Castiel, to prevent the seals from breaking, but are not haveing much luck. It turns out that some of the angels want lucifer to rise in order to force a battle that they are convinced that they can win. The entire season is not completly dedicated to the angels and demons storylines. It would not be Supernatural if it did not include a few episodes mixed in that make us laugh. My 2 favorites are Wishfull Thinking, and Yellow Fever. Wishfull Thinking involves residents of a town whose every wish is being granted via a wishing well in a chinese resturant. The only problem is that the wishes go bad. Dean test it out, and wishes for a sandwich, only to get food poisoning from it, and a little girl wishes for her teddy bear to become real and life size, only to get life size teddy that drinks all day, steals porn, and tries to commit suicide because he feels that life has no meaning. Yellow fever involves a new twist on the tradional ghost story. Dean and Sam head to a town where healthy residents are droping dead of heart attacks. It turns out that they are infected with ghost sickness, which makes them afraid of everything, extremely paranoid, and will die after 3 days unless they scare the ghost into exercising itself. Dean winds up infected and there is an extemely entertaining moment of him running down the street in fear of his life from a small dog with a pink bow in its hair. The season finale does a grerat job of wrapping up the season and setting up the next season. We also find out the full truth about Ruby, and she gets what has been long coming to her. The only real sour note is the ongoing storyline of Sam being addicted to demon blood. I thought that was a little to crazy even for this show. The dvd extras are a little thin, but I recommend that everyone pick up this season.

Supernatural, season 4 makes up for the 17 episodes of season 3 (thanks WGA people!)with a full 22 episode run. This is a rare gem of a show where I find myself rewatching a season every 3-4 months (never, ever boring). Seriously, this show has become something of a religion and has re-introduced me to classic, old school rock from the likes of AC/DC & Grand Funk Railroad. Outstanding episodes here include: In The Beginning (where we see a smoking hot actress called Amy Gumenick as a young Mary Winchester); Metamorphosis; After School Special; Jump The Shark (which was Eric Kripke's in-joke about Chad Michael Murray being a third Winchester brother and introduces us to a new foe); The Rapture; Family Remains (unusually news topical) and saving the best for last: Yellow Fever, where at the very end, we have Dean Winchester doing his rendition of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" - believe me, you will watch that scene again and again! It's no wonder youtube get so many hits on it everyday and proves 80s rock DOES ROCK!! On a sad note, this series marked the passing away of Kim Manners, who was very much a creative force in terms of direction, the overall look and feel of the show. We miss you, buddy - RIP. As per usual, Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles are outstanding as Sam & Dean Winchester. Jensen is very much the Han Solo character who gets to quip funnier lines and pop culture references throughout; whilst poor old Jared has cranked up the emotional steering wheel 3 notches and is a revelation in the process. Fans of Heroes often do the Hiro scrunchy face when he time travels, but for me, I always do the Sam stretching-his-hand-out-before-extracting-a-demon-from-its-host routine. Before long, everyone will be copying it! These two actors have a chemistry I haven't seen since Niles & Frasier Crane. Also have to say kudos to Misha Collins as Cassiel, whom I really got used to, even if he does annoy Dean most of the time! Whilst watching Shatner & Nimoy in Mind Meld, it was great seeing these legends of screen & TV, discussing their fond memories on Star Trek and personal lives. I hope that one day, we'll get Jensen & Jared doing the same about Supernatural. PS: Don't be frustrated about the final scene of Lucifer Rising - Eric Kripke is genius personified and trust that he knows what he's doing - especially if season five is going to be the last. It's a classic cliffhanger, but the guessing game is on for what hell Lucifer will unleash! Forget girly rubbish like Twilight and stick to the real deal that is Supernatural!

Season 4 continues with Dean returning from Hell. This entire season heads in a different direction that now involves Angels in the fight against Demons. There is a hidden agenda because they can see the future and both Sam and Dean are involved in monumental ways. This season follows in similar footsteps as the previous 3 with a great deal more humor added. Throw into the pot, the threat of the apocolypse and we know we're in for an exciting season. Dean (Ackles) plays an extremely well acted tortured character who has to come to terms with his time spent in the "pit" and the parts he has and will play the the coming apocolypse. Sam (Padelecki) has changed since his brother's "death" and is now a very troubled young man who has gone so far "off the reservation" that Dean has difficulty connecting with him again. This season shows the tug of war between brothers with 1 doubting his worthiness and the other, now an addict and obssessed with revenge. With the brother's fighting constantly and the Angels doing the same in heaven, it's a war that no one seems to win. Castiel is the Angel responsible for "rescuing" Dean from Hell and he now becomes a major character in the storyline. Where the Angels believe Sam to be an abomination, they are principally interested only in Dean. Sam on the other hand has his BFF, Ruby, and isn't aware of the dangers there until it is too late. Disc 2 of this season has some of the funniest episodes shown to date and is a must see over and over again. This season is a whole new ball game for the brothers and will not disappoint. The totally unexpected twist which involves the 2 brothers was not anticipated and leaves you to impatiently await Season 5. This is the countdown to the biggest mistake the boys have ever made. Much more pressure is put on the Dean character and Ackles does a brilliant job with this. So to with the Sam character, Padalecki portrays his obsessions convinvcingly. Positively a must see. Don't forget the Gag Reels and the end of each Season. Some are absolutely timeless. "Eye of the Tiger". Watch for it.

My god, this show is awesome! The acting is good, so is the writing, the pace, and what I like most about this show is that it keeps topping itself. In this season, there are new character, new crisis, and more complex story lines. The introduction of Castiel into the plot was perfect! Even when you first meet him and his actions come across as 'cold', he strikes you as a fascinating character that will soon develop into something fantastic that will become very lovable. Some episodes in this season are priceless such as 'Monster Movie, In the Beginning, Yellow Fever, Wishful Thinking, it's the great pumpkin, san winchester, after school special, it's a terrible life, monster at the end of this book, i know what you did last summer, heaven and hell, the rapture, lucifer rising, and death takes a holiday'. This was a consistently good season! And as for those who criticize the story lines, I disagree and I think they are looking for things to complain about. Also, I feel that if they didn't secretly worship the show, then they wouldn't be watching it.

Though most on this forum have given the show kudos for the angels versus demons storyline, I have to give the writers their "props" for finally bringing Dean, wonderfully played by Jensen Ackles, to the forefront of the season. The character gets to mature, realizing his place in the ongoing battle against the forces of evil as well as being Sam's (Jared Padalecki) protector, even when the younger brother is toying with his own inner "demon". Ackles shines in "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "The Rapture", the season opener "Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester", and the season-ending "Lucifer Rising". Why he nor Padalecki have not received Emmy nominations is a further indictment against the decision makers of The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Fine acting is also provided by Jim Beaver as the dependable and Johnny-on-the-spot Bobby Singer, Misha Collins as Castiel the angel, Genevieve Cortese as the "is-she-a-good-demon-or-a-bad-demon" Ruby, Robert Wisdom as Uriel, and Julie McNiven as Anna. The casting of "The X-Files" Mitch Pileggi as the Winchester boys' grandfather in "In the Beginning", as is the father-son team of John and Michael Rubenstein, along with character greats Barry Bostwick and Richard Libertini in "Criss Angel is a Douche Bag," another outstanding episode. "After School Special" features younger versions of Sam and Dean, played convincingly by Colin Ford and Brock Kelly, respectively. The installment also makes a commentary on the cruelty of high school students against each other. "Monster Movie" brilliantly pays homage to the classic horror films of the 30's and 40's, complete with period music, costuming, and black and white filming. As a whole, the season features excellent writing, top-knotch direction, scoring, and some true thrills. Because of the intensity of the latter, the writers separate the chills with some comedic and satirical dialog, many delivered by sardonic bliss by Ackles. The compilation features audio commentary on two episodes, deleted scenes, and a "gag" reel that's not very funny, just a chance to see the guys mug for the camera.

DVDs were good quality

Speaking as someone who has been with Supernatural from the get go (and loving every minute of it) I'm just as excited as all the fandom at the upcoming release of the DVD box set for Season four. This show has always been a five star series for me. The only reason I'm not giving it a five here is because I'm waiting to see if the DVD release of Season four has all of the extra features I'm hoping for. Season three was disappointing in that it had less episodes than usuall but I was also disappointed in the lack of good episode commentary and behind the scenes stuff. I know alot of people don't care for commentary but if it's done right you can really get alot of new insight into a show and learn about things you didn't already know. Aside from the regular director/cast commentary, I'm really hoping to hear more commentary from the writers and effects crew as well as some of the supporting cast members like Jim Beaver or Misha Collins. A special homage to Kim Manners would be nice. Also some effects reveals (like how did they get Sam to roll around on that wall in "when the Levee Breaks"?) What can I say, I'm a sucker for behind the scenes reveals. I'm sure the gag reel in this season will be really awesome. This show has truly been a credit to Erik Kripke's genius. It's very difficult to come up with a solid plot line to last five seasons but boy has he delivered. Add to that, the strong team of writers and an amazing cast (whoever casts for this show should get an award!!). I find it more kismet than coincidence that the two stars of this show are not only both from Texas but are both middle children in families of a younger sister and older brother. These two guys were destined to find their way into each others lives as actors and friends and it really shows in the chemistry they share on screen. I can't wait to see what happens next season and what kind of extras are on the DVD set for Season four. I'm happier than a puppy with two persqweeters!

The familial chemistry of the Winchester brothers is back and harder than ever to beat for entertainment in this season. This go round, each actor continues to bring a wide range of human emotion to his role and is man to the task as the brothers take separate paths. The conflict between brothers, demons and angels escalates this season. Episode 1 begins with Dean crawling out of a grave, no longer a captive in hell, but uninformed as to why. He quickly tracks down Sam and the two are off again, fighting, laughing, making choices, and interacting more intensely than ever before. The "Supernatural" mythology introduced in previous seasons continues to develop and, by the end of the season, it's clear that this show could easily go another two seasons (and I hope it does). The "Monster Movie" and "It's a Terrible Life" episodes are excellent. (Probably the most bothersome thing about "Supernatural"--and it's not that big of a deal--is when Dean and Sam are working on a ghost case, discover the remains have been cremated and then say something to the effect of, "There must be a lock of hair around or something." I mean, anyone who's ever been alive must have left hair, fingernail clippings and microbes all over the place. . . . Minor gripe.) And after four seasons, I still don't know who my favorite show-brother is, which (for me) is a strong indication of how well-written and well-acted this TV show really is.

La suite des aventures des frères Winchester avec le retour de Dean de l'enfer mais de nouveaux protagonistes dans la lutte des forces du mal et empêcher le retour de Lucifer. La saison se finit sur un happy end et il me tarde de connaître la suite.

Season Four of Supernatural takes a very different turn to the previous three. It's still a great show, made even better by the addition of Misha Collins as Castiel

I think season four was the best season of supernatural and introduced angels, and really took the show to a whole new level. I don’t think if not for the performance of the actor who plays Casteel he did such a great job. There were so many great actors on that show and it’s a shame that it ended the way that it did de did not deserve to die getting pushed into a spike by a vampire I mean come on I know it’s Covid and everything but they could’ve given them a better sendoff. I would’ve rather waited until Covid was over and had them do a proper sendoff. The final season of supernatural was the worst one the final episode of supernatural was the worst one and that’s a shame , because it was such a great show

Vermutlich nicht an der Rettung der Welt. Ganz bestimmt nicht sogar, dafür haben wir ja Sam und Dean Winchester - zwei Brüder die seit ihrer Kindheit bestens mit der größten Bedrohung der Menschheit zutun haben. Sie dachten die Angst vor Atomkraftwerken und Kriegen wäre das Schlimmste? Dann gehören Sie wohl zu den Menschen, welche mit geschlossenen Augen durch die Welt gehen. Liebe Interessenten, hier wimmelt es von Geistern und Dämonen - und denken Sie ja nicht ich er zähle Ihnen hier Humbug. Zum einen gibt es da die "Trickser", das sind Dämonen die sich gern über Menschen lustig machen. Sie nähen Nachts gelegentlich meine Kleider enger. Richtig gehört - sie nähen Nachts die Frauenkleider enger, so dass sie am nächsten Tag, besonders wenn ein Termin ansteht an dem man schick sein will, nicht mehr passen (Sehen Sie meine Damen? Auch Ihnen ist bereits solch ein Wesen begegnet!!). Natürlich denken Sie einfach, sie hätten ein paar Pfunde zugelegt - nein nein nein. Öffnen Sie die Augen und sehen Sie der Tatsache entgegen dass es Geister gibt! Normalerweise mag ich diese Art von Serien nicht - ich bin mehr die CSI-Miami und Bones-Suchtperson. Dennoch landete Supernatural irgendwann in meinem Warenkorb und unübertrieben - wusste ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nicht dass ich damit die beste Serie der Welt gekauft habe. In Season1 sind die Special-Effects zwar wirklich noch dürftig, aber keine Sorge, das ändert sich ab Season2 schnell, nachdem die Sam-und-Dean-Winchester-Prophezeihung endlich die Welt erreicht hat und ihnen damit zum finanziellen Erfolg verhalf. Als "Supernatural"-Neuling hab ich die ersten sechs Staffeln innerhalb eines Monats angesehen (ja, nennt mich eine Verrückte - man will halt ständig wissen wie es weiter geht) - somit hab ich zwei Tage nach der ersten Staffel die zweite gekauft und im Anschluss direkt die vier weiteren die es derzeit gibt. Alle aufeinmal. Aus Angst, ich könnte plötzlich an einem Sonntag bei einem Staffelende ankommen und nicht weiterschauen. Es ist wichtig, weiter zu sehn. Wie soll man denn sonst wissen, wie man sich im Fall der Fälle gegen einen bestimmten Dämon verteidigen soll? -- Im Grunde genommen geht es in Supernatural - Season 4 um Deans Rückkehr aus der Hölle und seiner Erstbegegnung mit Engel. Glauben Sie mir, Sie werden Castiel im Laufe der Zeit lieben lernen. Wie Ruby wird er ein wesentlicher bestandteil der Serie. Neben diesem Hauptstrang der Storyline, bekämpfen sie Folge für Folge zahlreiche unterschiedliche Wesen - und manchmal sogar normale Menschen. Supernatural punktet mit grandiosen, phänomenalen und erstklassigen Schauspielern, unglaublich toller Musik und einer atemberaubenden Kulisse. Die einzelnen Folgen sind nie öde, nie ähnlich und schon gar nie humorlos - ich weiß nicht wie oft ich im Verlauf aller Episoden Tränen gelacht hab, aber selbst bei Comedy-Serien musste ich niemals so schmunzeln wie hier. Genre-mäßig hat Supernatural viel zu bieten. Ein bisschen Drama, ein bisschen Komödie, ein bisschen Science-Fiction, ein bisschen Action, ein Hauch Romanze und eine Brise Horror. Es ist somit wirklich für jeden etwas dabei und die Serie ist sowohl für Männer als auch für Frauen eine Augenweide, weil sämtliche Schauspieler - ob Hauptdarsteller oder Dämoninnen, Engel, Angehörige oder Opfer ausschließlich mit gutaussehenden Menschen besetzt sind. Im Fokus von alledem steht die brüderliche tiefe Bindung zwischen Sam und Dean, die ich zum letzten Mal bei The Boondock Saints gesehen hab - und selbst die zwei Mafia-vernichtenden Brüder stellt das Supernatural-Dreamteam locker in den Schatten. Da ich nicht spoilern will, endet meine Rezension auch hier. Vermutlich, muss ich zum Inhalt sämtlicher Staffeln nichts anführen - kaufen Sie einfach die erste und lassen Sie sich vom selben Phänomen überrumpeln das mich überrumpelt hat. Die Sofort-die-nächste-Staffel-kaufen-Kaufsucht.

ネタバレになるので多くは語りませんが、とても面白かったです。 一気に見てしまいました。 個人的には「ハンターライフ」がオススメです！ NG集で大爆笑確実です！ これだけのために買う価値ありますね。 そしてBlu-rayは1シーズン全話入ってこの薄さ！ かさばらなくて、とてもスマートで気に入ってます。
