‘Supernatural’ season 3 opens with a bang; now on DVD
ByThere are things that go bump in the night and for Sam and Dean Winchester, it’s all in a days work to track and eliminate the ones doing the bumping. This week Sci-Fi and action fans are in for a special treat with the release of the third season of “Supernatural.”
After losing their mother in a tragic and unexplained accident involving a demon, Sam and Dean were raised by their father to hunt down the likes of ghosts, vampires, shape shifters, werewolves and even demons.
Season three opens with a bang, literally, as a gateway to the underworld was opened at the end of the second season leaving hordes of demons on the loose and looking for the Winchester brothers. Episode one finds the brothers doing battle with seven incarnations of the deadly sins and holding up in a jail besieged by an army of demons while another finds Sam re-living the same day over and over in which Dean is killed. Topping off the tension are Lillith, a childlike demon, and FBI Agent Henricksen who’s determined to lock the duo in prison for life.
All 16 episodes are included in this five-disc set along with extras such as a gag reel, confessionals from the cast, deleted scenes, short segments highlighting favorite aspects of specific episodes, a look at Dean Winchester’s 1967 Chevy Impala and a behind-the-scenes look at the series’ special effects.
Overall, “Supernatural” is one of the most action packed and engaging shows on television today. The characters are believable and the story pulls you in until the cliff hanger ending of the season. This series is a good pick for fans of shows such as “The X-Files.”
