This is the only TV series out there that entertains with both horror and heart at the same time. It's a gore fest almost every week with a high body count, but the brothers Winchester's tortured co-dependent relationship is what will keep people addicted and coming back for more every week. Laugh and cry with the Winchester boys as they speed down the highway to meet their destiny. Season four is the best yet.

The Winchester brothers are back, this time trying to discover who brought Dean back from the dead and why. This is an excellent show for horror fans who like good characterization and lots of family drama. Jensen Eckles is wonderful as stoic older brother Dean, and Jared P is awesome as well. The horror is decent without being too graphic of frightening, so mature teens can enjoy this too.

I own all the seasons so far, and this one is off to an excellent start.

When season 3 of this show ended, Dean had been ripped apart by the hounds of hell and his spirit/soul was ensnared in some techno-web where he bled and screamed for his brother.

When we begin THIS season, he's been dead four months. There's no preamble here--he just comes back, immediately. It's not clear how or why; it's only clear that something pretty powerful brought him back (and decimated the landscape around him in the process).

This episode is VERY nicely put together, from the reunion scenes with Bobby and Sam to the end scene where Dean finds out precisely who brought him back (and wow, what a cutie his savior is!) and why, all the emotional pieces come together beautifully but not melodramatically, and there's humor and suspense throughout.

The coming season is set up, and there's enough in this one episode to tell us that season four will have more than the usual share of conflict between the brothers and between Dean and his fatalism.

Bravo!
