So more than a month ago, though that barely puts a dent in the amount of time that's passed since I last posted here, David and I started to watch "Supernatural" every night before bed.
The show's been on since 2005, and we never really heard anything about it - but here we were, lost without LOST when we heard that Mark Pellegrino, who plays Jacob on LOST, played Lucifer on Supernatural.
Not knowing what to expect from a CW show about the Supernatural, the pilot terrified the crap out of both of us.
Basically, the show is this: Haunted by the killing of their mother by a supernatural being when they were young, Sam and Dean Winchester travel the Midwest in a black '67 Impala looking for their father, who has just gone missing hunting the thing that killed her. Raised as hunters themselves, the boys take down every supernatural being in their path, saving innocent people along the way. Many episodes focus on a monster of the week - mainly those of popular urban legends, in the style of The X-Files - though in later seasons, the show gets more into the mythology of the characters and the major storyline that involves demons and angels, and even a prophet who may or may not be God.
While entertaining the hell out of its hardcore fanbase, Supernatural also manages to poke fun at itself and balance the seriousness of an Apocolyptic series arc with a little harmless humor (one of my favorite things about the show). It doesn't hurt that the three most important characters are all super hotties. I almost feel like I'm 17 again.

In season 5, Sam says yes to Lucifer and tries to put the fallen angel back in his hole. And here's how that ends:Anyway it's a little late, being that it's season 6 and the original story arc has run it's course, but I think I'm going to start reviewing each episode as we go along. Watch with me - Fridays at 8 p.m. Central on the CW.
