Brothers Dean and Sam Winchester (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki) had a helluva year. They scoured America searching for their father, killed anything supernatural that came in their path, and somehow Dean had enough time to patch things up with an ex in between all the rock salt blasting and exorcisms.
"Supernatural" is a series dedicated to exploring American mythology/folklore. Season One wrapped up with the Winchester brothers reuniting with their father again, and finding the said terrible beastie that killed their mother.
However, things took a turn for the worst when John Winchester, Dean and Sam's father, was possessed by this very demon. Sam shoots John with The Colt and the demon expels itself from him. The three run off in their '67 Impala (the fan's favorite character) only to be T-boned by a semi truck minutes later. The Winchester family hangs by a thread as the screen cut to credits.
Season two starts right where season one left off, with the Impala being crushed. All three are airlifted to the hospital. Dean is in a coma, and John is suffering from moral problems.
Dean figures out that a reaper is after him and that he is all together screwed. It is later explained that Dean has two options. Either he lets the reaper take him to the other side or he stays in the hospital for an eternity. He will never be able to reconnect with his body.
Sam won't take no as an answer from the doctors. He sets out and brings a spirit bored to the hospital and miraculously contacts Dean. Dean explains his situation. In short, John makes a deal with the demon that he's spent his entire life hunting to save Dean. What did the demon want in exchange? It wanted The Colt, and John's life. The episode ends with John seeing Dean wake up and then him consequently collapsing, dead.
Season two is guaranteed to be as action packed as season one, but one problem remains: the competition. "Supernatural" shares the same time slot as CSI, Grey's Anatomy, and when it returns, The OC. Only time will tell with this show, but "Supernatural" has already made a name for itself.
