Mrs. Tran and Kevin work to concoct a demon bomb to use against Crowley, and Sam and Dean are stunned when Castiel appears and tells them he escaped from Purgatory.Download Video Supernatural A Little Slice of Kevin Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Supernatural Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Returning for its seventh season, this haunting series follows Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers bound by tragedy and blood to the one thing that runs through both their veins - hunting monsters. This past season, Dean and Sam faced insurmountable obstacles: Sam returned from Hell without his soul, and Dean risked everything to get it back for him. The power struggle between good and evil raged on, with the new King of Hell, Crowley, ultimately emerging as their adversary. Shockingly, Crowley had made a secret deal with Sam and Dean's closest friend, the angel Castiel, who is now a desperate freedom fighter on the losing side of a post-Apocalyptic civil war in Heaven; together, the uneasy allies sought to open a door to Purgatory, where a great untapped well of souls lie waiting to be used as the ultimate form of military power.
Good news for veteran Supernatural fans, this episode, directed by Jensen Ackles, has gone back to basics. Though many might prefer the complex, mythology-rich set-up of the last few seasons, many others would agree with me that it has all become a little too much, and the simplicity of early seasons has been completely lost over time. I predicted last week that Kevin’s sudden disappearance would leave room for episodes like Heartache, where we get to see Sam and Dean back on the road again with nothing more important than solving the case at hand, and thankfully I was right.
It was like watching a season one episode, but with a more mature pair of characters who we’ve grown to love and care about. Sam wants to go to college and begin a life that “counts for something”, while Dean can’t foresee a life without hunting and doesn’t want to do it alone.
The year apart has changed both characters fundamentally, giving them the clarity to see what they really want, and it’s ironically brought them right back to square one. Sam has always had some mission to keep him on the road, and he’s drawing a line after they find Kevin and close the gates.
That said, the bad guy this week wasn’t the strongest Supernatural has ever cooked up. The episode’s real strength lay in the interaction between the guys, and the case was there to give the episode reason to exist.
When seemingly ordinary people from different areas start to rip hearts out at random, the boys have to find the connection – they’ve all received transplants from the same guy. When investigating the donor, a successful sports star who drove off a bridge, they discover that he’s actually been around for nine-hundred years.
The deal he made with an ancient god to stay young and athletic forever has carried over to his donated organs, and now there are eight monsters for Sam and Dean to track down and kill.
Somehow I doubt that’s what will happen, and I’m sure girlfriend Amelia will be seen off fairly swiftly in the coming weeks. A slight grumble I have is that the trailer for this week’s episode made a meal of the brief memory tacked on the end of the episode, and I was expecting a full-on flashback episode because of it.
We’ve been given bits and pieces of Dean’s experiences in purgatory but so far left in the dark about Sam’s life outside, so I definitely want to see more.
No matter how the season’s big ideas play out, though, I’m just looking forward to the next couple of episodes. We were promised the brothers would be back on the road this year, and this episode delivered.
I saw the pilot last night and was very happy with the production team. David Nutter, who was involved on the X-Files- hence giving Supernatural that "X-Files-ish tone" is a fantastic director. He is a veteran of this field having directed X-Files, Roswell, Dark Angel, Smallville, Disturbing Behavior, Millennium, etc.
One of the producers, McG, has produced The OC, and has directed both Charlie's Angels movies. Jared and Jensen are placed in roles they are familiar with, Jared is playing Sam, a character who seems to be a tougher version of Dean, his character from the Gilmore Girls.
Jensen is playing Dean, a character who is extremely close to being a human clone of his sarcastic character from Dark Angel, Alec. Opening a WB show with such great effects scores big with me- not giving anything away, the special effects are what Nutter and his team are capable of.
