It was inevitable, bound to happen and was just a matter of time that Supernatural would get a season 9. There were no ifs or buts about it, though some would wonder why. Yes those cynics out there who believe the show should have exited stage left by season 5. But we won't give in to their pointless machinations or rantings of our show. Supernatural kicks ass!
Even with so many different stories, characters and the addition of angels, ha, Supernatural is one show that still stands out from the rest. From its humble beginnings back in 2005, the brainchild of creator Eric Kripke, it showed grit, out of this world stories and plots. Fiendish demons and ghosts and above all it was a show about family. That through the ups and downs at the end of the day family is what everyone needs.
Yet the show wouldn't be complete without its amazing stars, Jensen Ackles and Jarad Padalecki. They deserve plenty of credit for making the show what it is and for making us the fans believe in them and Supernatural. Of course the crew, writers and everyone else involved also merit attention too, including the rest of the cast in Jim Beaver, Misha Collins. All completing and complimenting the circle and adding so much more to a wildly, entertaining concept. Always ready to try out new avenues, monsters, bringing in angels to counteract and interact with the demons and taking the risk. I recall certain people arguing the show was wrong for doing that as it headed down the religious path, but that wasn't the case at all. Especially since this was a piece of fiction, it wasn't reality.
Above all Supernatural showed us it was okay for men to cry, real man tears and not be ashamed. On the verge of adversity, experiencing harrowing and painful death, of their father, of losing Sam, then Dean, crying was an out, a way of expressing emotion and bringing fans to tears also. Helping us to face our own heartbreaks in reality when we lost someone close to us. In my case my father and this coincided with Sam and Dean losing Dad (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Somehow it helped put it all into perspective. This may not be the right outlet or medium for such an outpouring of grief to occur and some people may not agree or feel the same way, but for me and for many others, it gave us a better understanding of what these two brothers were going through in their own loves, even if they were just characters on a TV screen.
We live Supernatural, their loves, lives, hunts, jokes and above all their brotherhood and always being there for each other. They went through hell and back, purgatory and so much more but their spirits never faltered. Their hearts remained loyal and true to each other, to their cause and "helping people." If not the Winchesters, there'd be no one to protect the world. Not forgetting to mention Dean's baby, the Impala!
From the Pilot and beyond, Supernatural is and will always be my fave show ever! Some shows you can never be without and this is one of them. Who knew the tagline used here, "scary just got sexy," would prove to reign year after year. Drawing us forever more into the Winchester world.
Supernatural Season 9 we salute you!!
