Still, though, it’s clear Castiel had thrown in his lot with us earthlings. Alas, it all ended with an angel knife-fight, and Castiel had to put the guy down. Hannah was a skeptical jerk about it, but Castiel was obviously sympathetic. Though this plotline wasn’t terribly eventful, it did allow for a really well-written scene in which a rogue angel pled his case to Castiel and Hannah about the benefits of earthly experience. Despite much of the angel stuff getting sorted out in last season’s finale, Hannah arrived and informed us that Heaven was still getting its bureaucracy set up and she needed Castiel’s help to track down a pair of angels who’d refused to return. Oh, and guess what! Castiel was also in this episode, and he definitely flashed his junk at a lady, and also he is dying of grace-starvation. It just appears that Supernatural has backed away from demon unpleasantness as fast as possible and instead treated us to TWO karaoke sequences, as well as two scenes of male characters casually flashing their junk.

Apparently the Mark of Cain was keeping Dean’s soul intact and he need only murder other demons to keep from going full-evil. In fact, his demon-osity didn’t seem quite as severe as we’d been led to believe, as Crowley explained that Demon Dean wasn’t simply a meatsuit occupied by a stranger, he was actually Dean, just with the occasional case of black-eyeball. So, instead of some kind of Demon Dean massacre or an unpleasant brother-versus-brother showdown, subversion abounded as we were instead presented with Demon Dean actually seeming happier and more engaged with the world than before. Praising a high-octane monster-murderin’ procedural for its chillness might seem like a dig, but I mean it as a compliment: “Black” was one fun hang.īy now it’s an annual tradition for one or more of the Winchester brothers to get murdered, sacrificed, possessed, or swept to Hell at the end of every season, so “Black” was Supernatural’s acknowledgment that maybe Dean getting turned into a demon in last spring’s finale wasn’t all that interesting as a premise. In fact, “Black” was downright pleasant and comforting in a way that only a brand this trusted could get away with.

Now in its tenth season (the tin anniversary!), the CW’s longest-running hunk procedural Supernatural has fully embraced this reality with its newest season opener, “Black,” which was possibly the least stressful, least apocalyptic series premiere in its history. That’s because, regardless of the premise or plot of any long-running series, they all become essentially hangout shows in the end, our most significant go-to destinations when it’s time to escape. There are presumably people out there with a firmer grasp on the geography of Springfield than of their own neighborhoods, and even more whose memories of their childhood homes have been saved over by memories of the NCIS headquarters. If you’re going to watch ten seasons of any television series, you’d better be okay with spending a sizable chunk of your life in that world.
