Some final notes on the first season
So we've seen, as I mentioned in the introduction to this show, that Supernatural had its beginnings in a fine pilot which then kind of devolved into a monster-of-the-week sort of show, but soon began to lay down and then gather in strands of a tapestry that will go together to form one of the most ambitious and successful horror-based dramas on television. The relationship of the two brothers is of course key, and forms the lodestone that drives them on to their next quest, and the intermittent appearances by their father, culminating in them meeting back up and he almost being killed, add extra tension and suspense to the show.
The writers are certainly not ones to throw all their ideas at your in the first season, and like that guy doling out the gruel in "Oliver Twist", hints, facts, clues and snippets are doled out with almost miserly effect, makign us hungry and shouting "We want more!" But we have to wait. This is how good drama is created of course: the old maxim "always leave 'em wanting more" works very well for a show of this nature, and we can't wait now to see what happens in season two. What seems certain is that more people will die, more will be possessed and slowly, at times agonisingly slowly, the true story arc will begin to take shape and make itself known.
If you haven't been drawn in to Supernatural by now, I'd be very surprised. If you have, hang on, because it's about to kick into third gear. Strap yourself in and hold on, cause this is going to be some wild ride!
