From a comic writer who can see the future, to apocalyptic appearances by angels of heaven, no season has beaten the fourth and it's not likely future seasons will manage it. The show's biggest achievement is its capability in handing in fresh stories that exercise the performances by Padalecki and Ackles who seem to improve the longer the show runs and as far as genre television goes it's still one of the best around.

As for the DVD, "The Mythologies of Supernatural: From Heaven to Hell" is an immaculate and detailed look at the myths of theism and the philosophy of angels, archangels, and demons, three of the elements that proved to be stunning material for the series. At almost two hours long, this feature is staggering in its depth. Also featured is creator commentary on three episodes and one for the finale "Lucifer Rising" (commentary by creator Eric Kripke). There's also a hilarious gag reel for the fans that takes great pride in showing what goof offs Ackles and Padalecki are on set and it's a blast.

The show continues to prevail because it hasn't lost focus on what its intention is toward genre television and offering something of texture and originality. In theory the premise is creaky but its creators just continue to top themselves every year the show runs. You have to love it!
