Supernatural season 10 review - arvio

So, tenth season, huh? That is quite an achievement. In the beginning it was just demons and other monsters. From the forth season on, there have been angels as well. Castiel in particular has been a great add to the crew along with Crowley, the King of Hell. But now things aren't so well. Dean has turned into a demon. As usual the "problem" is solved quite fast but the older Winchester brother still carries the Mark of Cain, which makes Dean to have anger management problems in big scale. Sam is worried, of course. 

Along the journey, the story arch of this season moves forward in some episodes. Who would have known that the King of Hell has a mother? In between there are these meaningless "monster of the week" episodes that fills the season. 

Remember Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Once More with Feeling? The Supernatural equivalent is Fanfiction. You know, Supernatural high school musical. The episode is quite funny. I also liked About a Boy with Mrs Patmore (Lesley Nicol) from Downton Abbey. 

Charlie Bradbury is back, so is Sheriff Jodie Mills. Jimmy Novak's daughter and wife have their roles to play in the storyline. Jimmy Novak's body is Castiel's vessel. The final of the season brings one character back, I won't tell which but the opening credits of the episode spoils a little bit. As for new acquiantances Rowena played by Ruth Connell is somethings else!


The season gets sligthly better towards the end but some weariness is in the series. All the young characters are bound to snark about Dean's age. The lack of real bad guy during this season makes one think it's all about the evil inside oneself as Dean struggles his inner demons. 

**

Supernatural-sarjaa on saatavilla DVD:nä kymmenen kautta, yhdestoista kausi pyörii parhaillaan Yhdysvalloissa. Kauas on alkuajoista päästy - edellisen kauden demoni-Dean ongelma ratkeaa kauden aika alussa mutta hän kantaa Kainin merkkiä pitkään, mikä vaikuttaa hänen luonteeseensa. Hieman sarja tuntuu junnaavan paikallaan. Kauden uusista tuttavuuksista Ruth Connellin esittämä Rowena nousee kyllä muiden ohi. Jaksoista nostaisin jalustalle hieman ehkä yllättäen musikaalijakson Fanfiction, joka on sarjan 200. jakso. Jopa nauroin jakson aikana.
