Movie Reviews of Supernatural - The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: Short but Sweet
Summary: 5 Stars
Due to it being shorter than the first two seasons due to the writer's strike, the third season of Supernatural has almost a break-neck pace to it all the way up until the climatic season finale. However, don't think this takes away from the main storyline at all though because in truth it actually enhances it. Due to a shorter season (16 episodes), the writers/producers had to focus on more mythos storyline content per episode and this is a definitive break in the show from the previous two seasons. In seasons one and two, the story revolved on the Monster of the Week motif with the main storyline spread in bits and pieces of several episodes throughout the season leading up to the season finale. As a result of the shortened season however, the third installment of the series all shifts away from the monster of the week settings for each episode and instead focuses on the task at hand; saving Dean from going to hell. The series also has demons playing a more prominent role in the show after the gate to hell is opened at the end of the second season. In essence, different demons often replace the typical monsters of the week. This is not to say that there isn't a few Monster of the Week episodes, but in just about every episode there is something important or pertinent to do with the main story. Also, the dialogue in the third season takes another shift as it becomes much more witty and sometimes comedic. There are quite a few classic Dean and Sam moments throughout this season and the two leads, Jensen and Jared, play them wonderfully. The third season of Supernatural also introduces a new main character in the series; a demon by the name of Ruby whose true motives are unknown but she seems to have taken quite an interest in Sam. Although season three marks the beginning of a shift in the series, it's still Supernatural none the less and if you enjoyed the first two seasons then there's no way you'll be disappointed with the third.

Summary of Supernatural - The Complete Third Season
The yellow-eyed demon is vanquished, but at a terrible price. The battle that brought him down released hundreds of demons from Hell into an unsuspecting world. And it cost Sam his life. But a grief-stricken Dean made a deal with the Crossroad Demon - his soul for Sam's resurrection. Now Dean has just one year to live. One year to fight the unholy, the twisted, the ghoulish. One year to say farewell to Sam. And one year for Sam to search desperately for some way to save his brother. Mind-bending adventure awaits as the Winchester brothers continue their astonishing odyssey into the supernatural...and their personal odyssey into destiny.As far as season cliffhangers go, it's hard to think of one as spectacular--or as insurmountable--as the fate that befalls Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) at the conclusion of Supernatural's third season, but that's only one of the many high points that await viewers in the course of these 16 episodes. Though the season is shorter (due to the 2007-2008 writers' strike), the overall quality of the episodes, both individually and as a whole, make the season one of the best to date in the show's history. The key to its success is the season's story arc, which has Dean and brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) struggling to continue their quest to fight evil while wrestling with the notion that Dean, who sold his soul to save his brother's life at the end of season 2, has only a year before the forces of darkness come to collect their due. What results is a strong mix of dramatic tension between Ackles and Padalecki (both actors come into their own with their characters in this season) and the more fright-driven fare by which the show has earned its reputation. Adding an intriguing wrinkle to the mix is the arrival of Ruby (Katie Cassidy), a demon who breaks tradition by helping the brothers in their adventures. Though not a fan favorite (and Cassidy herself would be gone by the end of this season, and replaced by Genevieve Cortese in season 4), her character underscored a recurring theme throughout the season--what is the true nature of evil?--which would be echoed in Dean's character development in the fourth and fifth seasons. It's an impressive direction for a series that might've continued down its Monster of the Week path, but instead took a bolder route, with considerable payoffs.
The reduced number of episodes also means fewer extras on the five-disc set; instead of full-length commentaries, producer Eric Kripke and the production team contribute "Closer Looks," scene-specific commentaries on seven episodes. They're informative and amusing but lack the degree of information that die-hard Supernatural fans might be seeking. A 7-minute gag reel and a 5-minute tour of the brothers' beloved Impala are amusing but forgettable, as is the 15-minute pilot for Ghostfacers, the reality show hosted by hapless paranormal investigators Ed Zeddmore and Harry Spangler in the episode of the same name. More interesting and informative is From Legends to Reality, a 20-minute featurette on the show's special effects teams, whose work reaches a high-water mark in this season. --Paul Gaita
