Supernatural Season 11
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
As cautious as I am going to be, its possible this review contains spoilers.
At the end of season ten, when the darkness was unleashed, I had high hopes for season eleven. It definitely has it a high points, but let me start where it’s lacking. First, the dragging thru the first few episodes felt like filler. I understand the concept behind what they were trying to do, but it just felt blah. Second, the darkness and Dean’s connection just wasn’t well portrayed. I just wasn’t getting the vibe that they had any chemistry, and personally, the actress who plays the darkness was average at best. So far all the characters in the series seemed to be played well by their actors/actresses, but the performance of the darkness just seemed lacking.
Neither of these took away from the season in my opinion for a few reasons. First, Misha Collins new role was exceptional. He has portrayed every part in this show impeccably, but this may be my all time favorite. Second, the introduction/ reintroduction of an old character who most were sure fell out of existence (no spoilers here but every one knows who I mean) was the pivotal moment the season was leading up to. Seeing them last season, I knew something big was coming, and it hit the nail on the head. Third, the show still manages to stick to its roots. I love the new monsters, that’s what hooked me in the beginning and it still entices me today. I love the laughs I still get, I think they are more prominent as the seasons go by. I love the general feels from this show, the roller coaster of emotions. Last but never least, Jim Beavers tolkien episode always reminds me of the good old days. I hope they keep that up thru the course of the show.
Overall, I was highly impressed. The great outweighed the minimal amount of bland and I’m looking forward to owning season twelve.

I feel this show gets better and better every season. It’s no different than most shows, as the main idea of the show repeats throughout the seasons, but unlike a lot of recent series, this one continues to find new, engaging trials and tribulations for the two heroes, alongside their normal “Saving people, hunting things” ethos. Not to mention the great blend of comedy, drama, suspense, and character building that makes this series worthy of all of the Netflix binge memes it has spawned. The menus/episodes are easily accessible, unlike some TV series DVD’s, there’s some good extras, including a pretty funny gag reel, and for buying it right when it came out, I felt I got a good price on it

I came rather late to the game with this show; I first rented DVDs of season 6 when I was looking for something new and different…and got immediately hooked. I watched a couple more seasons forward, then went all the way back to the beginning, and…well, you get the picture.
-Supernatural- has lasted 11 seasons now, and shows no signs of either slowing down, decreasing in quality, or (horrors!) getting boring. After the season 10 finale, you get an opener that is surprising in more ways than one, and from there it only gets better. (It’s -really- hard to do this without spoilers, but you should probably do your imagination stretches before the workout of watching!) There are some new monsters, of course, as well as new twists on old ones, and for once the Winchester boys meet a creature species that is actually benevolent! There are some surprising alliances made, as well as some mistakes on the “Augh! No, DON’T DO THAT!” level, and we get to meet the Reaper who steps in for Death after his (apparent?) demise–and she’s soooo not happy with Sam and Dean. There’s a whole list of “Whatever happened to X?” that gets checked off, and some “payoffs” from former seasons that pop back up (sigil watchers, take note). And this season’s finale sets us up for yet -another- can of worms to be opened…maybe even more than one! All in all, just plain awesome.
One final note. Unlike many, I -depend- on these box sets, as my TV is not in contact with the outside world (I had a major argument with our local cable provider). Consequently, I am always a year behind. Which means, any spoilers carelessly dropped by others strike -my- little world with the impact of a medium-yield nuke. And I encountered one, on this site, a couple of months ago when I first pre-ordered. So my PSA for this review is: Spoilers are rude, dude. So don’t. Just…-don’t-.
