Season Five

A Dean and Castiel Timeline, Part Two

Welcome to Part Two of this 3-parter! Following the progression of Dean and Cas’s relationship through S5 was considerably more challenging for me than S4 was, but in my opinion by the end of S5 Dean and Cas had progressed from friendship into a familial bond, enough of one to validate Dean’s S6 assertion that Cas is like a brother to him anyway. As in part one, I am looking at episodes in which Cas makes an appearance, and focusing separately on first Dean’s and then Cas’s perspectives for key interactions between them in each episode. On with S5!

Just in time for the big season five DVD release tomorrow (Sept. 7th), I present to you my long overdue season five in a nutshell review. Season five did oh so many things right, but it did several things wrong too. Despite the flaws it was one for the ages and I'm still an emotional wreck.

Elle2’s Season 5 Wrap Up:

Hey, better late than never, right? We’re about eight weeks into Hellatus with only a few more weeks to go until Season 6 begins…okay, okay, a few more weeks beyond what we initially had hoped for but at least they started shooting last week and with the extra two weeks of Hellatus we here at The Winchester Family Business will just have to write more articles, design more inspirational posters, develop more puzzles, conduct more polls and link more videos.

The Road So Far, Season 5, Part 2, by Elle2

Whew, the wait to part 2 was certainly shorter than the nine weeks it took to get to Sam, Interrupted! Thank goodness.

Like the first part of the season there were good to great episodes, two clunkers – one clunked more than the other at least for me – and a lot of superb episodes. We get some old friends, some new allies and tie up a lot of loose ends, not all but that’s impossible.

Here we go, Part 2 of Season 5’s The Road So Far:

Another season has come and gone – how the time does fly! And it’s time to update my Road So Far Seasons. If you’re new and haven’t read them and are dying for some fabulous insights, sparkling writing, witty and pithy thoughts – yeah, you guessed it, don’t read my stuff. However, if you’re looking to pass Hellatus with as much reading as you can, feel free to see how I worked through Seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4 during 2009’s Hellatus.

Those can be found in the archives, and it also appears that on the episode guide pages Alice is listing general articles, so you’ll find links to them there as those pages become active.

So here we go, my thoughts on the 22 episodes that comprised Season 5:

The Season Five Engima of Sam Winchester's Hair

When I did The Enigma of Sam Winchester's Hair last year, I highlighted some of the key disasters from seasons 1-4. In going back and analyzing season five, I found Sam's hair was pretty even keeled for the most part, but there were some unusual circumstances that happened to come up more than once. So I'm switching it up a bit.

For season five, I bring to you the differing yet perplexing styles of Sam's hair by category. Sure, a lot of these hair circumstances stemmed from misfortune, but this is Sam Winchester we’re talking about. Let the games begin...

Supernatural's Pivotal Episodes: Season 5

Supernatural’s Pivotal Episodes: Season 5, by Elle2

We’re here, the fifth and final article in this series. The genesis for this journey came from a comment by Mo Ryan after the episode I’ve chosen as Season 5’s pivotal episode aired. The comment was in regards to the pivot points of Season 5 which got me thinking about all the seasons and which episodes best fit the idea of a pivot point. So, if you’ve liked this series, thank Mo Ryan; if you have not enjoyed the series…um, no comments necessary (but don’t blame Mo Ryan!)

So, without further ado, I’ll present the rules and then get on with the last article in the series:

As I’ve learned from Alice, rules are necessary when embarking on such an adventure. Thus, I have some rules regarding how I decided upon the pivotal episode of each season.

First off, it must add to what we know thus far, either for Sam or Dean or for the storyline as a whole

Second, it must be built upon in future episodes and events.

Third, the episode as a whole must be strong, this is the pivotal episode, not necessarily the most powerful episode of the season but in no way can it simply have a pivotal scene while the rest of the episode is flat or uneven or even forgettable.

Here we go, Season 5’s pivotal episode:

100 Favourite Moments of Supernatural

Season Five

The decisive season – the one that will give our beloved characters more heartbreaking choices to make and keep us on edge. With the Lord of Hell unleashed, Sam and Dean Winchester have to find a way to get back together on the same page and conquer their fears, their anger, their sadness to be brothers again in the truest sense and rise from the ashes of their pains… only to bring the greatest sacrifice a soul can give.

Plus: our show celebrated its 100^th episode in this season, a triumph only the occasional show reaches. It’s a testimony of the fantastic acting we have noticed from the very beginning, the amazingly creative teams in front of and behind the camera, the high quality scripts, and… as helplessly vain as that may sound – of its faithful fans who have kept watching Supernatural, thereby making sure that ‘the suits’ would deem it worthy of investing money and keep this exceptional show on air. Furthermore – we are looking forward to a sixth season.
