Synopsis
Dean and Sam Winchester are two brothers with a special talent. Well-versed in the supernatural after their father became convinced that their mother was captured by unholy spirits, Dean and Sam dedicated their young lives to hunting down these otherworldly terrors. But adulthood saw Sam drift away from these preternatural activities, instead choosing to settle down in a life of domestic bliss with his girlfriend. But when the Winchesters' dad goes missing, both Dean and Sam know what they have to do, leading to some epic cross-country trips as the brothers try to find their father. This release contains a selection of episodes from the fourth series.

Customer Reviews

NO SPECIAL FEATURES
FURIOUS THAT YET AGAIN THIS BRITISH RELEASE HAS NO SPECIAL FEATURES APART FROM EXTENDED SCENES! WHY OH WHY DO THEY KEEP SCREWING OVER THE BRITISH FANS!?!?!

Disappointing
No, I don't mean the forth season of Supernatural, which I love, because its full of great episodes (and a lot of them are in this box), but I am very disappointed because the box comes without any specials except some deleted scenes.

The long awaited gag reel and commentaries are not to be found here. If you don't have the first part already, I'd go for the season box set. I just hope that the specials are not an exclusive part of the US release.

Great series - it's only half the season though
This set has the last half of the episodes from Supernatural season 4, just as previous season UK releases were first marketed split into part 1 and part2 [there's 22 episodes in season 4]. Obviously this is an attempt to extract as much money as possible from those who missed the UK TV showing and are desperate to see how Dean and Sam are getting on. Apparently this whole season is great, and the best yet, so perhaps it's money well spent. We are renting the DVDs though, and buying the full PAL Season 4 set which will be released soon [in November 2009]. Certainly the episodes from Season 4 Part One were scorchers, although the body count seems to be piling up [yes, Supernatural deserves that 15 rating]. Be careful of which reviews you read though, as some contain a few somewhat massive 'spoilers'. Fortunately the last episode of 'Season 4 Part One's DVD set didn't have a particular cliffhanger other than the question of Lilith not unexpectedly remaining unresolved [and she's no Angel, although she is almost as annoying as one].

The previous part-1 DVD set has a "In the Beginning" series creator commentary, and the out-takes [cut scenes, although these often give away key elements of the plot - so watch them last] - I expect similar extras will be included on this set. Subtitles in this Season 4 Part 2 set will no doubt be English, English for the hard of hearing and Dutch [Nederlands], with spoken English audio only, as with Part 1. For the complete fourth season try the NTSC complete season 4 sets from Amazon international resellers [NTSC sets are reputed to contain a few more extras as well] - although our Season 4 set is out very soon [November 2009]. I suppose we can rejoice the series hasn't been cancelled like so many other excellent shows [Angel, Twin Peaks, The Dresden Files, Tru Calling, Enterprise, Blood Ties....]. Supernatural: still very spooky and still highly recommended. Whilst you're waiting for this DVD set to arrive, do check out 'The Dresden Files', 'Angel', 'Blood Ties' and 'Tru Calling' DVD season sets that my daughter [15] and I rate as at least the equal of 'Supernatural' [i.e. they are superb].
