I haven’t watched SUPERNATURAL in at least a year and most of the time I watch it on DVD, so I can get a bulk of the show all at once rather than piece by piece. Being so, I didn’t see last year at all.
Luckily, the catch up gave me at least some indication as to what was going on in the prior season, the crux of which is that Dean (Jensen Ackles) was sent to hell after making a deal to save the soul of Sam (Jared Padalecki). Now at the beginning of this season, Dean awakens in a pine box and has to dig himself out of his grave after being buried four months returning from hell in a field where all of the trees have fallen down around his grave. Damn, he looks good considering he’s been buried for freaking four months, in fact, he’d probably still get a teen date right out of the box. Worse yet, He continues to get visits from what appears to be the demon trying to attack him or communicate. Dean also has some large hand print embedded in his shoulder as if “some demon pulled me out” Dean says, “Or road me out.”
After discovering other demons are scared sh**less over the fact that whatever dragged Dean out of Hell is much more powerful than they are and having a psychic get her eyes burned out, it becomes apparent that we are dealing with something that the Winchester brothers haven’t ever seen before or dealt with. And that would be one of the good guys – an angel doing the work of God. At least, that’s what he tells Dean toward the end. And the reason that the angel rescued Dean from Hell? “Because God commanded it,” says the angel. “Because we have work for you.” What I liked most about “Lazarus Rising” was that I didn’t need to see the previous season to fit right into this episode. They didn’t dwell on the past, there wasn’t a huge amount of subplots that needed to be cleaned up and with only three primary characters there was no need in learning who everyone was or what role they played (and obviously seeing the previous seasons helps). Yes, they are still chasing demons, yes they still must delve into the occult and the Winchester brothers will continue to fight the bad guys. But what a turn, an angel. The other side of the coin. And that opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for the show that hasn’t been explored yet – which should make it worth watching all by itself. The other cool thing, like I said, is that if you haven’t watched a single episode of SUPERNATURAL, now is a perfect time to hop on board.
