Purgatorio: A Halloween Indulgence for Adults

22 October 2009 3:35 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Regardless of what others might say, Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I know that many will say Christmas (be they themselves Christians or secular) but I have to believe that those individuals who do are either sold over on all the presents (secularists) or trying to score points with the big man upstairs by favoring his son birthday (Christians). For me personally, growing up, no holiday would ever match the sheer joy that came with dressing in costume, eating enough candy to induce a diabetic coma, and hurling eggs at my cousin Darrin who just couldn’t seem to catch on that I never found his homemade outfits of Saturday morning cartoon characters from some bygone era twenty years past, interesting, or unique, or fun in any way, shape, or form.

Sadly, in my adult life, I find it’s a bit harder to come across interesting ways »

Supernatural: Stills from Upcoming Episodes 7 and 8

21 October 2009 1:59 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

It's a miserable week for Supernatural fans -- no new episode, but rather a repeat of the Season 5 premiere, "Sympathy for the Devil". But to make up for it, The CW has provided a batch of new photos from Episodes 7 and 8, "The Curious Case Of Dean Winchester" and "Changing Channels", respectively.

First is "The Curious Case...", in which Bobby (Jim Beaver) risks his life by betting 25 years of his life on a poker game run by a witch. Dean tries to save Bobby but ends up drastically aging. The episode was written by Jen Klein (story) and Julie Siege (story and teleplay) with Robert Singer directing.

Chad Everett as Older Dean, Jared Padalecki as Sam, Jim Beaver as Bobby

Next is "Changing Channels", written by Jeremy Carver and directed by Charles Beeson. »

Do You Have Sympathy for the Devil on 'Supernatural'?

2 October 2009 2:37 AM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

I know it's wrong to say, but I'm really loving the Devil this season on Supernatural.  Lucifer is a fascinating and compelling character, and whether he's played by Mark Pellegrino or Jared Padalecki, I just want more Lucifer on my screen.

This should come as no surprise, since villains are always more beloved than heroes.  Christian Bale didn't win an Oscar for The Dark Knight, but Heath Ledger did.  Gossip Girl fans love Chuck Bass but get bored with Dan.  And at this year's Emmys, awards were given to a drug dealer, a murderous lawyer, and Lost's Benjamin Linus. »

'Supernatural': For the Winchesters, it's war

18 September 2009 9:25 AM, PDT | The Watcher | See recent The Watcher news »

The following post discusses "Good God, Y'all," the second episode of "Supernatural's" fifth season. All my "Supernatural" features, reviews and interviews are here. Pictures and an episode summary from next week's episode are at the end of this post. "Good God, Y'all" was a pretty solid outing. It's no insult to say it wasn't quite as good as "Sympathy for the Devil," which was just an outstanding episode and probably my second-favorite season-opener of all time (I'd have to give "In My Time of Dying" the top slot in that category). In this week's episode, we not only got a... »

Video – Three Clips from Supernatural 5.02 – "Good God Y'all" Plus 5.03

12 September 2009 10:50 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

The Winchester brothers continue their jaunt down the Highway to Hell this week with the episode "Good God Y'all".  Click through for some spoilers and clips from the episode.

For you sentimental Supernatural fans (is there really any other type?) this week will be a big one as the boys run into Ellen (Samantha Ferris) and Jo.  Good times.  Things are ramping up as the apocalypse begins to take shape, while Bobby gets some bad news from Castiel, kind of reinforcing my theory from the "Sympathy For The Devil" recap that Zacharia will be the only one who can actually heal Bobby.

This season of Supernatural definitely looks like it is going to hang tighter to the mythos, is that a good thing or a bad thing?  Supernatural fans should stop over to our Supernatural discussion boards and give their opinions.

Supernatural: Sympathy for the Devil (season premiere)

11 September 2009 11:21 AM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

(S05E01) It's you chuckle head! You're the Michael Sword! -Zachariah

When we last saw Sam & Dean Winchester, they were staring down a face-to-face meeting with the Big Bad himself, Lucifer. And that's where we pick right back up for the epic and awesome season five opener. So, you'll forgive my fan girl gushing for a bit, but there are very few series that start their fifth season stronger than they did their first, and this episode surpassed a lot of the high expectations I had.

Not only do we get a kick ass fight scene, a possessed Bobby, and a tearful and heartfelt apology for starting Armageddon from Sam, but we finally meet Satan, and surprise, he's a pretty sympathetic fellow.

Basically, it boils down to this: the angles are back, the demons are creating havoc on Earth, everyone's raging for a Apocalyptic war and Dean is The Vessel. »

Supernatural Quotes from "Sympathy for the Devil"

11 September 2009 8:20 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

On last night's fifth season premiere of Supernatural, Sam, Dean, and Bobby had to deal with the ramifications of Lucifer's escape from Hell. 

The early days of the Apocalypse is rarely a fun topic - especially as The Devil found a guy named Nick to try and use as a vessel - but the brothers often kept things as light as they could. Below, we've listed a few of our favorite Supernatural quotes from "Sympathy for the Devil."

Dean: What if we win? I'm serious. I mean, screw the angels and the demons and their crap Apocalypse. They want to fight a war, they can find their own planet. This one's ours, and I say they get the hell off of it. We take 'em all on. We kill the Devil. Hell, we even kill Michael if we have to, but we do it our own damn selves. | permalink Bobby: »

Eric Kripke and Jim Beaver talk about the 'Supernatural' season premiere

10 September 2009 10:14 PM, PDT | The Watcher | See recent The Watcher news »

The post below contains interviews with "Supernatural" creator Eric Kripke and with Jim Beaver, who plays Bobby on the CW show, which had its Season 5 premiere Thursday. It's best if you have seen that episode, "Sympathy for the Devil," before proceeding. Before proceeding, a notice: Do not post all or most of this material on your site. Feel free to excerpt a few paragraphs and link back (that kind of linkage is most welcome). But don't lift the entirety of this post, as one site I won't name recently did (it wasn't a "Supernatural" fan site, by the way).... »

Recap – Supernatural 5.01 – "Sympathy For The Devil"

10 September 2009 9:04 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Supernatural kicked off its hotly anticipated fifth season in top form tonight with the episode “Sympathy For The Devil.” More than just an homage to that classic ‘Stones tune, this episode handedly spelled out the overarching plot for Supernatural’s fifth – and perhaps last – season while proving that it’s heart of goofy demonic fun was beating as strong as ever. Let’s recap Supernatural, “Sympathy For The Devil.”

Teaser

Okay, less of a teaser than usual – Sympathy For The Devil begins exactly where season 4 of Supernatural ended. Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) are trapped in a chamber as an entry way to another dimension, one that just so happens to house Lucifer, sears itself into the weathered stone floor. The brothers are overcome by a shrill blast of sound as the entry way nears completion when suddenly – they are on a plane.

Review: Supernatural’s Season Premiere Was Too Good (The Whole Season Can’t ...

10 September 2009 7:22 PM, PDT | thetorchonline | See recent thetorchonline news »

Five Torches (Out of Five) Warning: This review contains spoilers for the "Sympathy for the Devil" episode of Supernatural. A fascinating new villain in Lucifer. More hilarious "Wincest" humor. A terrific continuation of the Dean/Sam conflict. Readers of this site know that I think that Supernatural is one of the best (and most underrated) shows on television -- and that the last season was the series' best so far (by far). If last night's fifth season premiere was any indication, it looks as if the show is continuing its winning streak. There are so many things I loved about last night's episode that it's almost difficult to know where to begin. For one, how great is it that Lucifer can't lie -- or chooses not to (or is maybe lying about the whole "can't-lie" thing)? »

Fall Premieres: Thursday, September 10

9 September 2009 10:24 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

The CW continues its first week of fall premieres tonight with the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries and the season 5 premiere of Supernatural, showcasing The CW's supernatural (no pun intended) Thursday night lineup!

First up is The Vampire Diaries, which probably fits somewhere smack in between Twilight and True Blood.  Based on the series of books by L. J. Smith which, at it's heart, is a story about two vampire brothers, one good, one evil, both fighting for the soul of a woman named Elena who reminds them both of someone from their past.  But through it all not only Elena's soul is at stake, but also the souls of her friends, family, and all of the residents of Mystic Falls, Virginia.

Below are a few links to preview and review articles we've written over the past few weeks to get you ready for tonight's episode.

Supernatural Shows Some Sympathy for the Devil

5 September 2009 1:13 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

During this past San Diego Comic-Con attendees of the Supernatural panel got a sneak peek at Episode 1 of Season Five, "Sympathy for the Devil". And today, thanks to the wonders of YouTube, everyone else has a chance to see it, too -- but in three slightly chopped-up segments.

As usual with this sort of thing, if you're not caught up, you probably won't want to watch as there are some pretty major spoilers.

In addition, looking ahead to the second episode entitled "Good God Y'All", some promo pics have surfaced over on the Supernatural Totally Rocks blog confirming that Rufus and Ellen are both definitely making a reappearance. Click either of the below photos to see the rest.

For a look back at the past year, be sure to read our Supernatural: The Complete Fourth Season DVD review. And don't forget: Season 5 premieres this Thursday, September 10th, on The CW. »

Three Clips From 'Supernatural' Season 5 Premiere

3 September 2009 11:55 PM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

More scenes from the season premiere of "Supernatural" is released, showing the first fight between Dean and Sam after the latter broke the seal. Sam keeps apologizing to Dean about what he did but Dean is angry because Sam keeps bringing it up instead of cleaning up the mess. The brothers then agreed to work together in bringing down the devil.

In another clip, Chuck the Prophet mistakenly strikes Sam with a stick because in his vision the Winchester is looking nothing like normal. Chuck then delivers a startling message about Castiel, telling the brothers that the angels have exploded him into pieces. Also, Zachary talks some sense into Dean that the Apocalypse is now, and that they must work together to stop it.

It is believed that the fifth season will be the last of the series. Creator Eric Kripke said he didn't quite expect to see it beyond »

Video – Three Clips From the Supernatural Season 5 Premiere – Plus Bonus Spoiler

3 September 2009 6:13 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

It's almost time, fiends – time to salt and burn! In one week Supernatural will return with "Sympathy For the Devil", and will present us with an honest to god Lucifer to, possibly, sympathize with. Chances are, though, we'll be rooting for Supernatural's dynamic duo of brotherly beast hunters Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester to sent Mr. Splitfoot back to hell for an extended appointment with Dr. Faustus.  Lots of spoilers out there already, and we recently had that iTunes clip to whet our appetite, but now the entertainment gods at theCW have shined on us with three new clips from Supernatural's highly anticipated fifth season premiere.  Click on for more info, and of course… the clips.

First, here is the official description for Supernatural "Sympathy For the Devil"
