Supernatural: Season 7 [Blu-ray]

As a long time watcher of this show, from the very first episode, I have to say that even though it's not a very strong season, it is still fun, interesting and a show well worth watching. I personally love the fact that they are not afraid to get rid of long standing characters like Bobby and Cas. I had mixed feelings about the last episode where Cas takes Sam's place, but Cas as an angel did the ultimate sacrifice for his friends. It's not that Sam and Dean don't need him anymore, and yes I do feel Cas will be back in the future, it's just they have to grow and move on, as things do in real life. Also, with Meg working there, she'll find a way to get Cas back because she has it in for Crowley and Satan. That alone has me certain that the old Cas will be back to help Sam and Dean in the end. This show mixes it up, and they did big time once Kripke left. I like this season more than season 6, but both seasons have its big ups and downs. I loved some of the characters and am sad to see Bobby, kind of like Sam and Dean, that felt like losing my Dad... Cas, an old good friend even Baltesar, I loved his character and like many characters in Supernatural, you may see them again. Remember, it's called Supernatural...anything can happen. I like how both characters have grown, but stayed the same. The current producers and writers have Sam and Dean true to themselves. Anyone whose watched this show from the beginning will agree, sure they've grown up, but they are still the same too. Now that takes a lot of talent and work to create characters that grow and stay the same for 7 years. I disagree with what one review said about `weak' characters. I love Frank! He's such a cranky old guy, like their grandpa just giving them, well mostly Dean crap. I liked the witches from earlier in the season. Played by Charisma Carpenter and James Marsters from Buffy the Vampire. Those two were a riot and I hope we see them again!! And the Leviathans themselves. The actor playing Dick Roman is scary and reminds me of a presidential candidate. I do wonder if that was intentional??? And Mark Pellegrino as Satan... wonderful actor and character! The only thing I don't like about this season, is the missing Impala... they even used a few rock names in the last few episodes, but still no return of the car... bummed, in the same breath, I am enjoying some of the classic muscle cars they've been driving since. All a little beat up compared to the Impala, as if to say not as loved, but still again, Sam and Dean true to their roots. I like the return of monster of the week, like the old days. I also like that they are blaming some of these monsters on the leviathans. Speaking of them, I find them one of the most interesting monsters ever on TV. I have never heard of them, but yes I do know of purgatory. Another reason the angel and demon story is not dead on this serious. Purgatory is not heaven or hell... but God created it according to the bible. I don't know a lot about them, but it makes me wonder how they will be defeated as only Sam and Dean can of course. This show takes from lore and does its research. It's a very intelligent show with good writers, has been from the beginning. Yet has a sense of humor which is what I think most of the fans really enjoy. With a few episodes left it will be interesting see what they do with these new villains. I do smell a season 8. What else does CW have? Secret circle?? Ugh!

Another great season of my favorite WB20 show yes not CW it aired ON WB20 first along with Smallville actually to me. I liked how they went deeper into the lore or about the leviathans. Not everything can be about just humans or demons all the time or every episode dean kills a demon and saves the day. Evil castial or possessed angel is always nice to have and great to us story lovers that love a twist or something new and different not told in the books. Keeps the show very fresh and wanting to tune in next week for the next twist on what a angle should look like or feel like. Video quality is very nice especially if u have a 4k home theater system like myself. Do yourself a favor and watch supernatural in the dark with your 4k tv set to movie settings, sound bar or in my case put a extra 5 notches on teh master volume and keep the rear speakers and subwoofer close. Audio is very clear and nice. Anyone with a samsung soundbar and wireless radiant speakers set your surround system on and keep the master volume to 25 or higher. Usually i directly connect my bluray player to the soundbar with hdmi arc to hear ddplus 7.1, but for this season i decided to use the 1 connectbox and then use the fiber optic cable connected to my soundbar. Not much or no hiccups, distortions, crack noises, but for me its still the hdmi arc straight connection from my player to the soundbar that sounds the best (plus the only way to hear atmos and DDPlus 7.1 Extras not too many but not few. The usual deleted scenes, commentary, some documents but thats it really. Not really a extras fan but 1 extra I would like to see in tv blurays or in Supernatural is the next episode preview clips they show after a episode, the trailers or other promos they use for each episode in a season. I wouldnt mind paying a extra 10$ or a seperate bluray disc that has all the season episode trailers, promo, sneak preview clips for each episode for all of that particular season. I would love to see that extra in future season sets. Overall very happy with the show and glad 11 seasons wasnt the end. Cant wait for season 12 or more Supernatural episodes.

I don't think Supernatural has fans. I think Supernatural has fanatics. The word "fan" implies that those who watch this show are passive. That they look forward to that one hour a week where they can escape and watch these boys fight what overwhelming "big bad" they are facing, turn off the TV set and then go about their daily lives. "Fanatic" is far more fitting for the followers of this show. We are obsessed. We read spoilers, we go to conventions, we write fan fiction, guess at plotlines, and emotionally invest in characters to the point where they become our family. This show has been on the air for SEVEN years and over those years there has been so much character and plot development that it has definitely paid off to be a fan. It is clear that the writers are smart because the consistently deliver succinct and intelligent writing and continue to move the show forward in a clear and sweeping development through Heaven and Hell, and now even Purgatory. The actors are talented, and can consistently deliver humor and heartbreak with rough raw emotion that makes the show feel realistic even if there are supernatural elements that could not happen in the real world. A lot of people have complained about the last couple years, but I think Dean says it all in Season 4's "The Monster at the End of this Book"-"For fans they sure do complain a lot" People like to whine and complain about the last couple of seasons but at the end of the day if they aren't watching then they don't have anything to complain about and if they can complain about the plotlines of the seasons that they supposedly hate then they're still watching! Each year there is a new surprise and new drama and new humor and the new greatness. I can't wait for Season 8 and all of the whiners will just have to continue to whine and I will continue to toss them up to representing the human condition. The show is constantly trying to out do itself, but in a realistic transition from it's own past, which is incredibly rare in a series and should be respected greatly. Even after 7 years of being on the air, I continue to be invested in the characters and curious to how it will all turn out, not many long-running shows have the ability to keep you on the edge of your feet with perfect writing and a past that they are so aware of. If you are not watching it. You should start.

I would have to say that I am on the boat of SPN fans who are not overly fond of this season. However, it is still thoroughly enjoyable. The worst thing you can do is to compare it to the first seasons (which I think set the bar too high). But, Leviathans and all, this is a good season. And hey, you can't go wrong with this show so long as Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are still in the lead. They really hold the show together, though there are still a lot of amazing side characters (Bobby, Crowley, and Castiel, to name a few favorites). If you love this show and own seasons 1-6, then you're obligated to get Season 7. It's worth it, I promise. And if you were like me and cringing with each episode as it premiered on TV, they are much better a second time around when your expectations aren't so high. As far as the product itself, I am happy as usual. The cover design is a little better than the somewhat odd photoshopped picture on Season 6, and the packaging is simply pleasing on the eyes. It has a gag reel (as it should!) as well as some deleted scenes for some episodes and a fun outtake of Jensen singing an alternate version of Air Supply's "All Out Of Love." Friggin' hilarious and makes the entire collection even more worth it. However, it was missing one thing that I was sure would be included in the DVD. There was a joke outtake posted by the CW some months before the release of the DVD of a scene from "The Mentalists" where Sam (Jared) is doing his exercises and such in a hilarious way while continuing the serious dialogue, and Jensen all the while miraculously keeping a straight face. I loved it so much, but I haven't found it on the DVD. If it's there, then I stand corrected.

At first I was really mad with this season for not having enough of Castiel's character in it and then with Bobby dying. For me it was as bad as when Sirius died in Harry Potter 5. But then after I bought the season and watched it once, I realized that it is really good, and like always has many excellent episodes. It made me look forward to season eight completely! I wish to god that more people watched this show because while there are fantastic european actors in this show, this show is really a display of good American acting and writing. Especially since right now, alot of the really famous actors in Hollywood don't hold a candle to the acting ability in this show. And to be honest, alot of the really famous actors in Hollywood out there don't even hold a candle physically to many of the actors in this show. Jensen and Jared are overwhelmingly talented as well as handsome in a good old fashioned 'manly' way. They don't look effiminate, or metro, which seems to be haunting the beauty standards of the 'average' male actor these days. Misha Collins is also very SEXY in that "I actually look like a deep and complex guy" way and Jim Beaver is the type of man who you wish your husband looked like when he's in his forties. Crowley's character is also very well acted, along with many of the other ensemble or guest starring actors/actresses. This is a well done show! And this is not coming from a overtly critical but hypocritical person. i tried acting and I couldn't do it good to save my life, just like many people who claim to be famous and talented in hollywood are: NOT TALENTED, and don't have the looks to make up for it! But this show is not the case. This is a show where there is a synthesis of loads of talent, beauty, good direction, and thought. I wish this show was on the tip off everyone's tongues as opposed to other supposed film 'phenomenons' out there right now that don't deserve the hype they get. But that's just my opinion.

I have been an avid follower of Supernatural since season one. As such, I have seen the show's two main characters, Sam and Dean Winchester, face creatures ranging from demons to witches, from vampires to werewolves, from wraiths to tricksters, from roogaroos to angels, and SO much more. Needless to say, you would think with a show like this, especially one where the writers will only pull from legends that already exist, things would get old quickly. However, Supernatural has been running for seven seasons now, and each one has presented something new and exciting for viewers. This particular season presented a whole new breed of monster: the leviathon. And these monsters brought with them an entirely different set of rules. I must admit that while there were a lot of things to love about this season, including the new monsters, the classic monster-of-the-week episodes a la seasons 1 & 2, the brotherly bonding moments between Sam and Dean, and the classic Supernatural humor that fans have come to know and love, there were also a few things to dislike about this season. The main two things that I had issues with this season were the loss of beloved characters and the fact that the leviathons' constant hunt for the boys drive them to ditch the Impala for the vast majority of the season. Still, in spite of these two drawbacks, the show still managed to pull off another great season. And like they have always managed to do, they ended the season with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more. And I'm personally hoping that the "more" I get with season 8 rectifies my few issues with season 7 by bringing back our lost characters and reinstating the Impala to its rightful role: an appearance in EVERY episode!

Awesome show

Good DVD for the Supernatural fan.
