Supernatural tells the story of Sam and Dean, who are hunters. They hunt demons. This is because their mom was killed by a demon. This season, the boys discover more about their past. In the last season finale, Dean was sent straight to hell by Lilith. He had sold his soul to save Sam.
The plot of the series has evolved over time, beginning initially with the Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean, looking for their father throughout most of season one. Once they find him, the show becomes about killing Azazel, the yellow-eyed demon responsible for the death of their mother. This is accomplished, but not until after Azazel’s plans are completed and a door to Hell is opened, although only momentarily, releasing a horde of demons into the world. This event also sees the death of Sam, who is subsequently resurrected by Dean selling his soul at the end of season two. In the third season, the plot of the show focuses on trying to save Dean from his deal. Along the way, they meet a demon named Ruby, who has an interest in Sam and claims to be able to help save Dean, as well as Bela Talbot, an “acquirer” and seller of occult objects who is constantly a thorn in their side. The brothers eventually manage to track down the demon who holds Dean’s contract, a powerhouse named Lilith who also wants Sam dead. However, Sam and Ruby ultimately fail to save Dean, who is killed and sent to Hell. Season four begins with Dean, miraculously returning from Hell, awakening dazed and confused in a grave. He was apparently rescued by a supposed angel named Castiel on orders from God. Sam on the other hand, has further developed his abilities with the help of Ruby during the months that Dean has been dead. It is soon revealed that Dean was revived to help stop Lilith’s plan of breaking the 66 seals, which would let Lucifer walk free once again. As the series continues, Dean learns of Sam’s newfound ability to excercise demons using his psychic abilities. They have a heated argument, where Dean confesses to Sam: “Cas told me, if I dont stop you, he will. That means God does not want you doing what you are doing Sammy.” [From wiki]
I don’t really remember what made me stop watching this show, but a friend was extolling its virtues and I watched the fourth season premiere with her. Actually, I do remember. I really got tired of the repetitiveness of the episodes. This seems to have changed drastically since the last few seasons though. Supernatural has matured into a really good show, with its own flavor and great plots. The plot for season 4 is really good and I’m glad to see God involved.
I’ve watched and reviewed all of season 4, but I have yet to post it. If there is any interest, I will do so. There are a couple of shows which I have watched for which I haven’t posted anything yet. Those include Royal Pains and In Treatment season 2. I’m sure there are others.
Warning: spoilers ahead.

Season 5 started pretty much the same as when season 4 ended. Lilith and Ruby are dead. Sam hastened the Apocalypse and Dean couldn’t stop him. The season starter was a bit lowkey. Nothing big really happened. Oh, but then again, Lucifer is walking on Earth! It’s the End Times and Lucifer has to find a vessel. In the end of the episode he does so.
Sam has been angelically detoxed of his demon blood addiction. Things are resolved between him and Dean yet. Sam chose a demon over his brother, and Dean can’t deal with that. I thought this was a good episode. I was expecting to see Hell on Earth, but I guess that they will draw this whole thing out. It hasn’t been confirmed if this would be the last Supernatural season. There is a possibility of a sixth. My guess is that it all depends on how well this season does, which is why it was picked up for a 6th season.

Chuck texted them. They arrive at the Pineview Hotel. He didn’t text them, it was crazy Becky. They drove all night to come to a Supernatural convention. Chuck announces that they are going to be publishing again shortly.
Sam and Dean don’t want this to happen, but Chuck tells him that this is the only thing that he can do. Until the end of the world, he needs to earn a living.
During the LARPing part of the convention, one of the Deans gets attacked by a real ghost. It turns out that the convention LARPing is based upon real facts. Tisha Gore did kill 4 boys and then offed herself in the attic. A pair of LARPers follow Sam and Dean. They talk with a ghost and find a map to her grave. Sam and Dean come across the same ghost.
It turns out that Tisha also killed her own kid. She scalped him. They find the cemetery, and after a few tense moments, they salt the bones and burn them just in time.
They can’t leave. Something is keeping them in. The kid ghost says that his mommy didn’t do this to him. Someone else did. The ghost kids who were killed by the ghost of Tisha Gore. Sam tells Chuck to keep the fans busy. The two LARPers want to help out. Sam and Dean want the actress who played the mom to pretend to be their mom to reign in the ghosts. It works long enough for the LARPers to get to the cemetery. Sam stayed behind to help out Dean.
At the conference, the manager of the hotel breaks the salt line. Thankfully, Chuck is fast and gets things under control. Both Sam and Dean are in trouble. The ghosts overpower them.
Becky says that the Colt was given to Crowley by Bella. The Colt wasn’t lost. Dean is amazed.
