I’ll admit I (like a lot of people I know) wasn’t exactly on board with the idea of season 6 of Supernatural. I thought that Kripke’s five season arch had told the story in completion, that it would be a hard, rough end for the Winchesters who had a hard, rough life. I went into this last season with trepidation. How could they top coming toe to toe with Lucifer?

The season started rough, as a lot of the later seasons of SPN do they make the mistake of having the brothers at odds with one another. I believe most people watch this show because of the brothers bonding against the world. We love their relationship when it’s good and the longer it’s bad the more annoyed we get. Yet, TV shows need and thrive on conflict. And in a show with really only two main characters, their only choices are the brothers.

Then, once the relationship was back, the show really heated up and reminded me, once again why I love this show. Some old faces popped up and one of my favorite episodes from season 6 harkened back to Season 2 when Dean tries to outrun a reaper. The moral questions that the boys have to answer make this more than some fantasy show about two hot guys running around in a car. It really makes me examine my own faith and thoughts on death, life and everything in between.

If you gave up on the season, pick up the DVDs and really stick it out. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the end and anxiously awaiting season 7 like I am.

Season 6 of Supernatural brought the brothers into a strained relationship as they continued to fight in an epic war between Heaven and Hell. Yet, through new monsters, new angels, new problems — the brothers stuck together (for the most part). Proving once again that no matter what happens the Winchesters are always going to think of each other first.

That’s probably one of the themes I like most in Supernatural. No matter how crazy life gets or how stupid it might seem, family sticks together. The boys are ready to go to hell and back to protect each other (literally). It’s awesome to watch just how crazy it has to get for them before they realize all they have is each other.

I’d like to think my family would be similar, but it’s hard to tell with the amount of stress and pressure the boys are under. I know if I was the Winchesters I’d want some friends along too. How about you? Who would you take along with you if you had to become a hunter?

With the new Supernatural Anime series it’s interesting to see Jared and Jensen in a whole new, animated look. The boys still have their voices, but with slightly different looks. Of course, it fits the storyline of Supernatural perfectly. The Winchester boys change their look to explore new cases all the time (though sometimes Dean doesn’t fully get into the act).

Of course that’s got me thinking about how I would change my own look in order to explore a new world. If you had the opportunity to reinvent yourself what would you do? Dye/cut/change your hairstyle? Your clothes? I’ve often wondered if, in the future, you could do all that with a tap of a button including changing your shape/size/etc. Kind of like SIMS or Second Life in real life.

Regardless of the change on the outside though, you’re always left with the person inside and that’s why I think people who are fans of the TV show are going to enjoy the anime version. At the end of the day, the Winchesters are still the Winchesters. They’ve got their family and they got their demons.

I’ve been thinking a lot about retelling modern stories, especially with the debate a couple years ago about rebooting the Buffy movie (without Joss Whedon). Is it possible for good stories to be retold by different people in different settings especially?

Supernatural is getting a its own reboot, but in anime style. The new series combines and retells seasons 1 and 2 in a different way than the original TV series. It sounds promising that the creators can do what they want without fear of a budget. Without worrying about CGI and SFX (which are already amazing on the TV show) they can tell the story again in new ways.

While fans seem torn about Buffy Season 8, it seems that Season 9 might bring back some of the elements they were missing. Switching genres can be hard for fans who only know a story told in one genre (how many times have we heard book fans whine about movies being ‘told wrong’).

I for one, try to be a bit more open minded. I think good stories transcend a particular medium. Great stories can live comfortably in graphic novels, anime, books, TV, movies, heck.. even music. If the rabid fans can open their minds to a new interpretation they can really enjoy what the new story has to offer.

One thing I’ve always loved about Supernatural is the focus on family. While Buffy and Angel are about your found family, Supernatural shows the importance of your blood family. Sam, Dean and their father are linked in a bond so tight that all three will stop at nothing to protect their family.

As much as I love found families, I really love exploring family bonds too. My family has usually been very close and, even though we’ve had our own difficulties, in times of crisis I know they’d be there for me. Just like Sam and Dean are for each other.

The TV series has been reimagined as an anime series and it looks like that focus on family hasn’t been lost in the transition.

I’m very excited to see how seasons 1 and 2 of the TV show were taken and created into this anime show.

Season 2 of Supernatural is appearing on Blu-Ray (much to delight of fans) and it’s hard not to think of the show without thinking about road trips. The boys travel the US, mostly in the small backroads, searching for their mother’s killer and, in the end, the truth about their lives.

Car-centered road trips are quintessential Americana, but the idea of setting off to find yourself is esential to the hero’s journey from the earliest forms of literature. It’s easy to see why, journeys expose you to other forms of ideas, cultures, and customs that are different than your own. In the case of the WInchesters it expands their own beliefs on their morals (especially in the Season 2 episode “Bloodlust” when they’re confronted with the concept of “harmless” vampires).

Trips have always expanded my own horizon. I remember as a little girl traveling across country and realizing how different the world was from California (where I lived all my life). Other places were lush, green and covered with trees or vast, expansive deserts without a shade tree in sight.

In the end the important part of the journey is not actually the end. As we’ve learned with the SPN boys there’s always more truth to discover and more monsters to face. To risk the cliche the journey is the most important part and I can’t wait to rewatch Season 2 on Blu-Ray and enjoy the trip all over again.
