Is Supernatural Still Super?

October 22nd, 2007 at 07:13am Richard Pulfer

After doing away with the main bad guy last season, the show seems to have lost its footing. Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) and his Faustian pact to save his brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) is quietly pushed to the side for an apocalyptic conflict tame compared to the emotional struggle between brothers. The content is becoming steadily more visceral, moving from a typical tame CW show to something far more interesting. The show’s humor especially makes the last episode “Bad Luck at Black Rock” one of the most accessible ever. But with many fans up in arms over the addition of two female characters, this show may have an uphill battle of its own ahead. Supernatural airs on CW at 7:00 on Thursdays.
