Supernatural: Season 8

This is a great season. It starts off with some tension between the brothers--Dean had no help from Sam returning from Purgatory, and he's clearly upset about it (as was I. Come on, Sam!). The tension is used to good effect, though, as they work their way back to where they were,both in the present and through a series of flashbacks. (Flashbacks to Purgatory looks pretty cool, by the way.) The main storyline this season is driven by the tablets and the Trials to close the gates of Hell. It's a good, solid storyline, sending the brothers to all sorts of places on their quest. The Men of Letters are introduced, which turns out of be pretty important--and they have an awesome underground bunker. My favourite part is the story arc brought together in the last six or so episodes. These are the Winchester boys we know and love, and the finale is just phenomenal. We see a lot more of the prophet Kevin, wonderfully brought to life by Osric Chau. Garth returns, attempting to fill in for Bobby, and there's more of Charlie Bradbury, queen of the nerds. Also, Amanda Tapping. It's disconcerting to see her playing the bad guy, but she does it well. A lot is explained about the angels within her story arc, and things in past seasons begin to make a little more sense. This season balances the light and serious episodes pretty well. We've got Nazi Necromancers, medieval LARPing, time travel through a closet, and an entire episode where the physics come straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon, but it never gets too silly. It all works, and it's fun. And then the end. Oh, the end is so good!

another great season with sam,dean & castiel & the introduction of kevin was awesome to

Lovely season to watch again and now forever on bluray or digital. Sam and Dean On the road again. WIsh they made more shows like supernatural. A twist of all the myths and legends we all know about monsters, ufos, god, etc. Cant wait to watch. My only downside is I been getting some bad copies of supernatural sets from amazon. Just recently I got 3 damage cases from amazon directly. My other supernatural season sets and bluray movies that shipped in the same delivery box with the damage supernatural cases were okay. The 3rd party sellers or sets i bought NOT from amazon didnt have broken pieces scattered, rips or tears. Luckily i was able to replace 2 out of the 3 busted cases with backup cases of my own, but still I dont like seeing damage goods every single order. Thankfully the return policy is great for amazon and I can get a new one, but am really having trust issues now with amazon on their care of products or bluray movies. Other than the broken supernatural cases from Amazon Supernatural is a great show and everyone should be really happy Season 12 is happening!!! Cant wait to See Dean's mom embarrass the hell out of her boz with mommies fairy tales of baby dean or baby sam. -Update- Sep 30 Replacement came no damage or missing parts to case for this one but I would still watch out. Glad the return service of amazon is great and fast to respond.

I placed my order for Supernatural Season 8 DVD on October 10th. It is now October 24 and I still haven't received it. So I went online to Amazon to cancel the order today. And then I get a reply email telling me it is too late to cancel because it has shipped. So in the space of about 20 minutes, my order went from "we are processing" to "we are shipping," and it is too late to cancel. I never expected such poor service. I guess if I had tried to cancel a week ago, they would still "all of a sudden" said that it had been shipped. I ordered a 30# bag of dog food at the same time I placed this order, and it arrived within 4 days. But a little thing like a set of DVD's takes over 10 days (or more)? What ridiculous customer service. But on a more positive note, Supernatural is an amazingly well done show! Good scripts, awesome cast, good direction. I didn't come across this show until the 7th season, and I am trying to watch the other seasons so I can catch up. The problem is that I can't watch one per week or even one per day. I have to watch at least 3 in a row, so lots of chores aren't getting done at my house! It's addictive. Sam and Dean are awesome! Castiel isn't to hard on the eyes either. Great actors.

The bluray has all the episodes from season gr8t (as the fandom has dubbed it). with the classsic SPN gag reel. I like the extra stuff, like the interveiws, and the episodes with commentary. The quality looks great, and the writing itself was the the most consistently quality since season 5. Ben Edlund was a great choice for show runner, and I wish he stayed on for this season. The Purgatory storyline was interesting and fresh. I wasn't into Sam's storyline with Amelia as much, but it was executed well. Also, I love the addiition of Benny, I think he provided a new dynamic to the show, as well as a new insight into Dean, and Dean & Sam's relationship. I would have wished for more Castiel because his dynamic with the brothers is always interesting & stretches the show from good to great. But the angel storyline in this one was really strange & wonderful! It showed heaven as this beurocratic government in shambles. The finale was visually and textually breathtaking, setting up the next season with promise of so much potential for greatness.

Supernatural is the best show ever, that is known of course, but in season 7, I felt like the writers were out of ideas, and I was afraid the show might take the downfall in script quality, but in season 8, all my worries were evaporated, the script, found again its way into our hearts, and made us feel like hunters again! In this season, Winchesters find their own place to call "Home", since they find out they are the only living members of a cult named "Man of Letters", imagine a more snobbish way "Hunters" but they were more than that, anyway, Dean and Sam, found the key to their hideout, and now they stay there, but the problems cannot stop! Crowley is out there to get the Angels tablet, and the two brothers have to translate the tablet quickly, with the help of the prophet Kevin Trann,while a mysterious Metatron makes his appearence and helps Castiel close the gates of Paradise, so humanity can solve their own problems, or is he?. A season full of twists that will make you wanna see season 9 right away! I would recommend it to anyone!

Bought as a gift, it was exactly what they wanted!

How many shows are still maintaining a high standard of storytelling and acting after 8 seasons? Almost none. In fact Supernatural is pretty much in a league of its own in terms of its well deserved ongoing popularity and the huge and passionate following it has. Regarding this season in particular - I'd describe it as a season of 2 halves. Without spoiling the plot, suffice to say that unfortunately the heart of the show - which is the incredibly close relationship between the brothers Dean and Sam - is somewhat missing in the first few eps. This is a mistake that was spotted (when the episodes aired and the message that fans were unhappy reached the ears of the writers loud and clear) and rectified. The second half (from episode 10 onwards) was amazing - culminating in a season finale that was the best acted, and written and most moving episode of the show for a long time. I'd highly recommend this show but don't start at season 8. Start at the beginning. You'll soon be hooked and you'll find yourself buying season after season and devouring them. Once you start you won't want to stop but you'll never regret it.

Ho comprato questo prodotto in lingua tedesca per vederlo in lingua originale, lo consiglio quindi a chi conosce almeno una delle due lingue.

Die nunmehr 8. Staffel meiner Lieblingsserie auf DVD. Die DVD-Box finde ich gut aufgemacht, leicht zu handhaben, nicht zu dick, nicht zu dünn. Über die Handlung brauche ich nichts groß sagen - wer sich die Staffel 8 einer Serie zulegt, weiß ja mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit, WAS genau er/sie sich da kauft. Die Serie ist nach wie vor super - auch wenn ich nicht mit allem einverstanden bin, was mit den Charakteren geschieht (soll heißen: Die sind gemein zu einem meiner Lieblingscharaktere... - aber da ich Staffel 9 und 10 bereits kenne bin ich wieder versöhnt). Die DVDs sind von der Menüführung dem bisherigen Stil treu geblieben. Es gibt einige Extras. Wie immer toll finde ich den Gag-Reel der bei Supernatural bisher in keiner Box gefehlt hat. Mit den Audiokommentaren kann ich nicht ganz so viel anfangen - aber für die, die diese mögen sind wieder einige dabei. Ebenfalls nicht vorenthalten werden einem wie immer entfernte Szenen. Diese schaue ich auch immer wieder gerne an. Zur Deutschen Synchro kann ich nichts sagen, da ich die Serie aufgrund der für mich gruseligen Synchronstimmen (wenn man die Originalstimmen kennt, dann sind die deutschen Synchrostimmen einfach nur gruselig) nur auf Englisch schaue. Im Englischen Original sind die Dialoge zwischen Dean und Sam wie immer Super - auch zwischen Castiel und den Winchester-Brüdern. Wer des englischen mächtig genug ist, sollte sich ruhig mal den Spaß machen und die Serien im Originalton schauen!

Habe mir die 8. Staffel hier bestellt, da in Deutschland der Preis 20 Euro mehr beträgt. Man sollte darauf achten dass Aleman hinten drauf steht da die Blu ray zb. kein Deutsch Ton besitzt und Amazon die Bewertungen alle zusammen macht und einige dann hier behaupten es wäre kein Deutsch Ton darauf. Ich schreibe jetzt den Namen in die Bewertung dass auch Deutsche Käufer Klarheit haben , Sobrenatural - Temporada 8 [DVD] genau diese Version beinhaltet die Deutsche Sprachfassung. Zur Staffel : Da ich mir bei Amazon Prime die Staffel 1-7 kostenlos angesehen habe als Prime Mitglied, musste die 8. Staffel her da es die nicht gibt bei Instant Video. Mir persönlich gefällt die 8. Staffel sehr gut und es geht auch gleich spannet weiter, was mir jetzt nicht so gut gefallen hat war dass Dean ja zu ende der 7. Staffel im Höllenfeuer gelandet ist, ( ACHTUNG SPOILER bitte nicht weiterlesen fals ihr nichts über die 8. Staffel wissen wollt. ) . . . . Dann zur beginn der 8. ist er auch gleich mal wieder draussen aber nicht gleich aufregen die Story im Höllenfeuer wird nach und nach gezeigt als Rückblick, dass es dann auch wieder gut macht und ich 5 Sterne vergeben kann , eins übrigens der besten US Serien ^^ Danke fürs Lesen aus Deutschland^^ Gracias por leerme desde Alemania^^
