Season 4 episodes (22)

1 Lazarus Rising
9/18/08
In the fourth season premiere, it's been four months since Dean was dragged away by the hounds of Hell, the result of a deal he made with the Crossroads Demon in exchange for his brother's life. Now, Dean wakes up in a pine box. He's been freed from Hell, but he doesn't know how or why. He has a joyful reunion with Sam and fellow demon hunter Bobby (recurring guest star JIM BEAVER), but it isn't long before the three start to really wonder what exactly pulled Dean from Hell -- and what it will want in return.
2 Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester
9/25/08
Sam and Dean are stunned when the spirits of Meg (recurring guest star NIKKI AYCOX - "Cold Case," "Ed") and Agent Henricksen (recurring guest star C.

Dean isn't sure why he was sent back so he begins to enjoy the time with his parents and newfound grandfather (guest star MITCH PILEGGI - "The X-Files," "Stargate: Atlantis"), who may be hiding a secret that is key to Sam and Dean's entire predicament.

Supernatural has put on the greatest show of family bond and other worldly ideas I have ever seen. As well as should the rest of humanity, I immensely enjoy the experience that is Jensen and Jared together. These two men are undoubtedly excellence in the sense of bringing two people together and forming a bond that isn't easy to form but is impossible to unmold. Jensen Ackles has brought and untold greatness to a warm but stone soul of a real man in becoming the fantastic Dean Winchester. I wound undoubtedly follow this mans career to the ends of the earth. I'm sure I would more than enjoy any piece of artwork this marvelous man has or will have a hand in creating, directing and or staring in. I am crawling out of my skin in excitement for his next move no matter what that may be. Ode to any and all past, present, and future crew of this entertainment heaven, Supernatural.

Actually the best show I have ever encountered in my life. I'm only in season 5, but I swear, this show. AMAZING. ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING. You will not want to function as a normal human being once you start this. You will be ADDICTED. I spend HOURS watching episodes, and sometimes, if it's an ESPECIALLY good streak of episodes, I don't sleep. Instead, I watch through the night. That's how great this show is. The acting is phenomenal, and the further into the show you get, the better the effects. Speaking of effects, I love the way that the crew who worked on this show knew when they couldn't create an effective effect, and used the cameras accordingly. For example, with Castiel(<3), instead of showing the angels flying away, they aim the camera away and we are clued in with sound. Also, instead of cruddy animated wings, we see shadows, which are actually MORE effective, giving us a feeling of otherworldly dimension. I love it. I swear though, the Winchesters are the most amazing beings in the world of fiction that I have ever seen. BEEAUUTIFUL <3. This show brings out my strongest emotions. I recommend this to EVERYONE.

This has been one of my all time favorite shows that tv has to offer!! My late husband and I watch every show everyday since the pilot first aired. When I get home from work, I say time to watch my boy's. I'm in my fifties and I would say "if I was 20 years younger,I would give Dean a night to remember"! But seriously, supernatural, is and will always have a cult following. Great cast,crew,writer,director and the best realist effects of any show I've ever watch. I think that's why the show has such a huge dedicated following.this show should go on pass season 10. How can you ever end the series when the whole cast is like your family and you are always gonna wonder how are they doing. (Unless there could possible be a spin off with the Winchesters).Love, love this show. We are one of your most favorite fans! Good luck in the future hopefully with more than season 10 :-)
