It’s time to carry on with Sam and Dean Winchester once again with the release of Supernatural season 14. Another fun season with the Winchesters as they kill monsters and all sorts of ghosts from coast to coast. You would think after 14 seasons this show would get stale, but it doesn’t. Just keeps giving you the best show about monsters, cars and classic rock that you can handle.
The road so far: Season 14 picks up several weeks after where the previous season left off. Basically, Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) is still possessed by Michael from Apocalypse World. No one has any real idea how to save Dean, which is a reoccurring theme throughout the season. Things look bad for Sam (Jared Padalecki), between Jack losing his grace and trying to find Dean/Michael before his plan can be executed. It’s pure chaos for Sam as he now is pack leader to all the other hunters. This season the boys learn hard lessons about not being able to save everyone they hold dear.
Most of the season is Sam and Dean doing their main storyline, which is finding a way to get Michael out of Dean and save the world from whatever evil apocalypse they’re faced with this season. And the B-storyline is Castiel (Misha Collins) trying to save Jack (Alexander Calvert) from going all “darkside”. Without his grace he has no soul and that becomes very bad for Jack and others around him. Of course, this all weaves though a season still filled with monsters, ghosts and all the drama you’ve come to expect from this show.
Some highlights from the season: the episode “Mint Condition” is a great throw back to the 80s slasher flicks and pokes fun at the comic book/horror geeks. All in good fun. It’s a nice OG kind of episode right smack in the middle of the world-ending-drama that runs through the season as a whole. “Lebanon” is another great episode: finally, Jeffery Dean Morgan comes back as John Winchester, who hasn’t been seen since season 2. It’s an out of time/displacement story, where Sam, Dean, Mary and John, for the first time in the boys’ life, have a dinner with both their parents. It’s heartfelt, wonderful and heart breaking all at the same time.
The season 14 finale will leave you with a pit in your stomach and tears in your eyes. We all know that next season is the last, and the finale sets it up in an epic way. I’ve been a Supernatural fan for 14 seasons: most of them have been great, few stumbles here and there. But over all this is a show that just keeps giving the fans what they want and has been consistent year after year. And season 14 was no exception.
