Pre-order it now on Amazon! 


Speaking of buying Supernatural things, my local Dymocks HAD six copies of The Essential Supernatural: On the Road with Sam and Dean Winchester last week. I was shopping around for prices online but I decided to buy it from my local Dymocks because I simply couldn't wait! Also, with shipping and stuff, the bumpy ride could course damage on the hardcover.

Guess what? When I went back to Dymocks, all six copies were sold out! Like... there are Supernatural fans in my local areas that I don't know about? SHOW YOURSELF! 

I almost cried! Don't get me wrong. I am happy there are local Supernatural fans, but I hate myself for not decisive enough. Lesson learnt -- don't underestimate the power and quantity of Supernatural fans.

 

Release Date: Supernatural Season Eight DVD/ Blu-ray

TV Show On DVD has released some information about Supernatural season eight DVD and Blu-ray. According to the website, the release date is September 10, 2013. This is the cover art they put on the website.

Remember, everything is subject to change. I think WB will release an official press release closer to date. Whatever they change, keep Dean's big arm in sight please. 

You can now pre-order it on Amazon.

J2 Thanked YOU For Your Support; Re-arranging the DVD Store

I think it's safe to say that you will never get the cliche thank you message from Jensen and Jared. What happened after this shot was too funny, I cannot wait but watch it like 1,000 times. I hope the Incredible Jarpad-Hulk didn't really hurt Jensen.. Hehehe 

To show their appreciation, here is Jensen and Jared thanking fans for showing their support on the Supernatural official Facebook page with 10 million 'likes'.

Oct 3 is near! I may eat a pie to celebrate on the day. Who's with me? 

Speaking of showing appreciation, I was at my local DVD store on the weekend, and I couldn't help but to rearrange the rack with Supernatural DVDs. Season two was missing at the store, but it's a good effort.

Synopsis:

The prize: ending the Apocalypse. The price: Sam’s life. Season five’s horrific finale left Dean alone, as Sam descended into Hell. Now a different man, Dean vows to stop hunting and devote himself to building a family with Lisa and her son Ben. Then, mysteriously, Sam reappears, drawing Dean back into the old life. But Sam’s a different man too. He’s returned without his soul. How the Winchesters confront this greatest challenge yet to their powerful bond is the troubled heart – and soul – of the profound and thrilling 5-Disc, 22-Episode Season 6. As the brothers struggle to reunite, they must also battle deadly supernatural forces. Demons. Angels. Vampires. Shapeshifters. And a terrifying new foe called the Mother of All. 

Wait... there is more! The DVD will include five additional languages: Chinese, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Thai!

The DVD releases on September 13, 2011.

Supernatural Season 4 DVD - Australia, it's your turn

I normally order my DVDs from Amazon, and I've totally forgotten that Australia is only getting Supernatural season 4 DVD NOW. It's released this Wednesday 6th January 2010. Here are the bonus goodies from 2 sources.

If you want a FREE Replica Chevy Impala, buy it from Ezy DVD for $69.97AUD.

If you want a bonus disc featuring Comic Con, as in 'Get up-close and personal with the stars, creator and writers/producers of Supernatural in this informative and entertaining panel filmed at 2008’s Comic Con convention in San Diego', buy it from JB HIFI for $59.98AUD.

I would LOVE to get the bonus Comic Con DVD instead of the Impala. I think it's harder to get the Comic Con footage. Although I have already got the season 4 DVD, I think I might get a second copy.

A tiny comment: Supernatural season 1-4 are also available on iTune (Australia).

More DVD news - special features and release date

Something exciting: The DVD and Blueray of Supernatural Season 4 will release on 1 September. Special features on the disk will include:

Season 4 DVD; After School Special - afterthought and TV ratings

I first discovered the artwork of the Season 4 DVD from Misha Collins Fan. Not sure if this is the final artwork, but it looks pretty cool to me. Release date of the DVD will probably be around Sept 2009. I've already pre-ordered my copy from Amazon. Also pre-ordered Season 3 Official Companion and re-newed my Supernatural Official Magazine subscription from CineQuest.

Speaking of DVD, I always love the gag reels.. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! I also love 'Day in the Life of Jensen and Jared' in the Season 1 DVD. But I was a bit disappointed with the special features on the Season 3 DVD. I was expecting more commentaries and special features. And I wanted to see Eric Kripke more! Other TV shows' DVDs have special features on the casts and more behind the scene stuff. So I hope there will be something like a character profile on Dean, Sam, Bobby and Castiel, as well as more behind the scene stuff. Some of the Stargate SG1 DVDs included footage from ComicCon and other Conventions, they were really good, especially for people like me who live outside of USA. So I hope they will have more stuff in Season 4 DVD.

On the latest episode of Supernatural, After School Special, I personally think young Sam (Colin Ford) gave a better performance, may be it's because I've seen him in A Very Supernatural Xmas. I really like Sam in this episode. And it made me think that perhaps he won't totally turn to the dark side of the force (so to speak!). I thought this episode will be really funny, but I felt that it was actually rather dark. Their childhood was not exactly Hallmark memories, and this episode totally delivered that. I just wish John Winchester would make a guest appearance. Young Dean (Brock Kelly) was good, you can see that's Dean and Kelly channeled Dean's mannerism quite well. I think Young Dean's girlfriend was spot on when she was 'breaking up' with him, she said that Dean is just a loney guy blah blah blah... and Dean said no he is not and she doesn't know anything about him. The fact is, Dean might be the tough guy, ladies man on the outside, but this is his game face. You know he is a hero, he always put other people's lives before his own. He was torturing souls in Hell, and those souls are there for a reason, but he still feels guilty about torturing them and he will never forgive himself. That said a lot about his character.

Why I like Sam in this episode? Mainly because I really like the Young Sam. It's like watching the Young Anakin (only 100 times better!). This episode added a lot of depth to his character. He is really smart, and he doesn't want to cause trouble. But if you push his button, he will kick you ass so hard, but he is not evil.

After School Special was written by Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin, Directed by Adam Kane, Rating was 3.6 million according to E! Online. According to TV by the Numbers, CW's press release indicated that Supernatural scored season high with women and best since its season premier in adults and viewers.

The big questions remain and I hope I'll get some answers by the end of Season 4: Why is Dean the chosen one? What is the real mission from God? What is Ruby's real intention? What else happened in Hell between Alister and Dean?

A few minor questions: Will we see the Colt again? Where did Ruby get her knife?

Last but not least, Executive Producer Kim Manners passed away last week. Kim's episodes were always amazing. If Kim's name appeared on the opening credit as director, I so knew that would be a super amazing episode. He directed numerous episodes of the series, including some of my favorite favorite episodes include Season 1's "Shadow" and "Devil's Trap"; Season 2's "In My Time of Dying"; Season's 3 "Mystery Spot", "No Rest for the Wicked"; and Season 4's "Lazarus Rising". Kim was also an influential figure in the X Files series. Thank you Kim. You will be missed.
