And Lucifer brings death and destruction down on a small Missouri town all in the name of calling up the Angel of Death. Let the casualties of war begin.

Last season, Dean took a time trip to the past to catch the beginning of the Winchester story. Now he's making a jump to the future just in time to be there for the end. It involves two Deans, a demonic virus, a very (very) human Cas and most significantly Sam as Lucifer. But will the brothers finally reunite? At the beginning of "The End" things don't look that way.

The first post-brotherly breakup episode finds Sam and Dean in two very different places. A brooding Sam already has a job and is working an honest living in a bar. Dean's continuing to hunt. Trouble always seems to find these two when they're fighting the good fight together. Imagine how much trouble they'll get into on their own.

Castiel tells Sam and Dean he needs to find God because God is the only other one besides Michael that can stop Lucifer. The brothers head to River Pass, Colorado to handle an alleged demon outbreak, but that's not the big news. Not by a long shot.
"Good God, Y'all" reminds me of a mix between Season 2's "Croatoan" and Season 3's "Sin City." In "Croatoan," Sam and Dean dealt with a demonic virus. Bridges were out, chaos reigned, people turned into monsters — that's basically what has been happening in this small town. The citizens have been made to think their neighbors are demons, but It turns out no one really had black eyes or was susceptible to holy water, salt and/or exorcisms. The "Sin City" part of the equation comes in to play after "Roger" reveals to Sam he didn't have to do much to cause the disorder and destruction of this town. I kind of remember the same thing happening in the Season 3 episode where decadence and debauchery prevailed. So thanks to a hallucination here and a nudge there, the good people of River Pass are taking each other out. And we can all thank "Roger" who turns out to be War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The fact we're in Week 2 of Supernatural's version of the end of days and we've already met one of the four horsemen is a pretty significant event. But this was just one of many significant events:

The apocalypse is starting; Lucifer is rising; the world is experiencing disasters of epic proportions. What are Sam and Dean doing? Well, they are dealing with the fallout from last year. Find something to hold onto because from the looks of it, Season 5 is going to be a bumpy ride. Bumpy in the best way possible, of course.
First I want to welcome any new readers to this Supernatural blog. And I want to welcome back those who waited out the hiatus and are once again ready to analyze our favorite show. This premiere rocked, didn't it? And I'm not just talking about AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," the song that accompanied the Season 4 recap at the beginning of the episode. To me, "Sympathy for the Devil" is a great set-up to what I'm betting will be an amazing saga. It's also awesome to see Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki doing a great job with the troubled relationship that is the Winchester brothers. It has to be troubled after what went on last season. Sam trusting Ruby over Dean isn't something Dean's just going to forget. Sam losing himself to what turned out to be an addiction is going to mean a lot of struggle, introspection, and hopefully a lot of growth for the younger brother. I'm looking forward to seeing how all of that is going to play out and I hope you guys are too.
Sound off on the new season and tell us what you think after you watch the premiere.
