Supernatural: Lazarus Rising

Supernatural's back on HeroPress - thanks to a generous birthday present from my wife of Season 4 on DVD.

The new season opens four months after Dean (Hensen Ackles) became a chew toy for an invisible hell hound during the truncated Season Three's finale (No Rest For The Wicked).

Dean wakes up in his own coffin, claws his way out of the ground and heads to Bobby's house. Bobby (Jim Beaver), naturally, thinks he's some paranormal entity or a demon, but is eventually convinced that Dean is really Dean.

Believing that Sam (Jared Padalecki) must have struck some deal with a demon to get his brother back from Hell, Dean and Bobby track Sam down and confront him.

He, too, once he's sure Dean is who he says he is, is equally in the dark and so the trio visit a psychic friend of Bobby who - this being Supernatural, after all - is something of a hottie!

Unfortunately for her, when conducting a seance to find out who actually pulled Dean out of the underworld, she contacts an entity called Castiel with rather graphic consequences!

This Eric Kripke (the show creator) penned episode is a great kick-start to the new season, both continuing the overall Supernatural story and simultaneously moving it in new directions by intrdocuing a whole new team of players to the game.

We also discover that not only is Ruby back - but in a new body (Genevieve Cortese) - but Sam has also been secretly working on his psychic mojo and has developed a rather useful, if a bit brutal, new power.

As always, Supernatural has hit the ground running, grabbed its audience by the collar and is dragging us - willingly - along for another great ride. Fantastic stuff; I'm so pleased to be back riding with the Winchester brothers again.

The Acrobatic Flea
I was a regular salaryman, earning a crust with my meager writing skills, until an aneurysm tore open my aorta unexpectedly in early 2005. I suffered a stroke during surgery and a collapsed lung afterwards. I have since realised that I now have a new chance at life, which (body willing) I shall indulge in with positiveness, happiness and the good companionship of my wonderful wife. The Acrobatic Flea handle comes from the name of my favourite - and most successful - Villains & Vigilantes RPG character in the '80s.
