Description
Resurrection. After enduring unspeakable torture, Dean escapes from Hell, rescued by an all-powerful creature he's never seen before – an Angel – a warrior of God who recruits Sam and Dean into Heaven's battle against Hell. And there are whispers that a certain fallen angel will soon be freed from his prison deep in Hell: Lucifer. If Sam and Dean can't stop it – if Lucifer walks free – he’ll bring on the Apocalypse. Meanwhile, the Winchester Brothers reunite and hit the road, battling the supernatural wherever they go. They encounter demons, spirits, Dracula himself and even a drunk, heavily armed 7-foot-tall teddy bear. All the while, the ultimate war draws them into its horror throughout this enthralling 6-Disc, 22-Episode Season Four. Caught between Heaven and Hell, between God and the Devil, the Winchester brothers must battle for the future of humankind.

When a television series opens its new season with a lead character crawling out of his grave after escaping Hell itself, one cannot help but wonder: how will the rest of the episodes ever follow that? In the case of Supernatural's fourth season, the answer comes from above with the introduction of Misha Collins's Castiel, an angel dispatched to rescue Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) from infernal torment and reunite him with brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) for a very special mission. That quest--to stop the demonic Lilith from opening the 66 seals required to bring Lucifer to Earth and launch the Apocalypse--forms the backbone of the 22 episodes, which takes some fairly adventurous risks with the core of the show. Chief among these is the rift that deepens between Dean and Sam as they attempt to work together, despite their divergent destinies; also agreeable is the season's tonal shift away from its previous Monster of the Week format (though that's still intact for many episodes) and toward a single, more ambitious story and thematic arc. The sea change deepens the show's drama, intensifies the level of suspense and stakes in each episode, and pushes it several big steps away from its teen-friendly origins. Of course, there's still plenty of the show's trademark irreverence and humor to be found, especially in the clever "Monster Movie," which pits the brothers against a Shapeshifter that takes the form of classic movie fiends, and "The Monster at the End of This Book," where Sam and Dean discover a comic book with plot lines very similar to their own lives. By the time Supernatural's fourth season reaches its cliffhanger ending with "Lucifer Rising" (the title neatly sums up the plot), viewers should be fairly hungering for the next episode--a good sign that a veteran series is still hitting its stride. Extras on the six-disc set include commentary for three episodes: "In the Beginning," with executive producer Eric Kripke and writer Jeremy Carver; "When the Levee Breaks," with director Robert Singer and writer Sara Gamble; and "Lucifer Rising" with Kripke. Extended scenes are also available for several episodes, and the features are rounded out by a trio of somewhat ponderous featurettes on the concepts of Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell, as depicted in scenes from the show and discussed by its writers, theologians, paranormal investigators, and the like. Clocking in between 10 and 25 minutes apiece, the docs feel padded and somewhat undernourished in the information department. However, they're unlikely to detract from one's enjoyment of this stellar season. --Paul Gaita

ReviewsSupernatural is the BestReview date: 2010-07-10 Rating: 10 out of 10Season 4 of Supernatural is just GREAT! Each season builds upon the previous seasons to highten the excitment and anticipation in the lives and "hunts" of Dean and Sam. These two brothers are so fun to watch, as we see their relationship and journey develop. It is scarey, yet you have to watch as you root for the brothers to prevail over "evil" and protect one another, no matter what. The humor that catches the viewer off guard is awesome, while the special effects and sheer scariness is high tech and spectacular! I love it!! Waiting for the 5th Season to come out, so I can watch it again. Supernatural is the BEST! Can't wait for the new season to start!!!Great product, bad packagingReview date: 2010-07-07 Rating: 6 out of 10Although the product was great (how could it not be) the packaging was in bad shape. I don't expect to pay good money for something that's going to come out of the shipping container in three pieces. Not Amazon's fault, but one of their suppliers.DVDs came beat upReview date: 2010-07-06 Rating: 2 out of 10The product was sold as NEW, however the case itself was broken on the inside. DVDs worked fine, but I would not classify this product as "new" and will not purchase from this seller again.I Hate the New Case DesignReview date: 2010-06-30 Rating: 6 out of 10This is more a complaint about the packaging than the show, if you're buying the show I'm guessing you know how it went. First, if you own the first three seasons on DVD know they changed the packaging from a folding plastic/cardboard insert to a new plastic flip book style package with six disc held on three double sided DVD holders attached to the case with a cheap little plastic hinge thingy, which would be fine or even better if any money had gone into making it remotely durable. I ordered this item from [...] and when it arrived four pieces of plastic holding the DVD flipbook in place had broken leaving the three double sided DVD holders floating around in the case, I called the store and they agreed to exchange it for me, I went to the back grabbed another copy took it to the front had them open it to ensure it was in good condition but it was broken as well. I went back and grabbed the remaining two copies and both of those were broken also, fortunately one was only cracked on the side of the case so the DVDs stay in place. If you are ordering this item you may want to stick to buying it from a store that will allow you to exchange with greater ease than an internet site. The season is okay, the packaging sucks. I mean really I can see one copy damaged in shipping but four out of four copies... all broken, ridiculous.
