Last week Supernatural took a slightly tarter tone after several weeks of quirky, self-referential fun. Given the episode’s premise, I think it was a good compromise for Adam to actually be John’s son, but for him to never appear on camera in his mortal state. The ghoul’s revelation that Adam really was a Winchester was morbid and melancholy but also satisfying. It added to the series’ legacy without screwing up the essential formula.

This Thursday Supernatural comes back with “The Rapture,” which looks to continue the series’ return to darker, more through-line oriented stories. But that doesn’t mean the premise won’t have you scratching your chin as you wonder, “How could that happen? What’s really going on here?”

According to the CW’s official Supernatural press release, “Castiel (Misha Collins) appears to Dean (Jensen Ackles) in a dream and says he has something important to tell him but they need to meet somewhere private.  Dean and Sam (Jared Padalecki) go searching for Castiel but instead find Jimmy, Castiel’s human vessel, who has only a spotty recollection of being an angel.  Jimmy wants to return to his family and normal life, but Dean and Sam are concerned about his safety.”

On this week’s episode of Supernatural the question isn’t whether or not Sam and Dean could have a brother – not if you ask their supposed kin Adam. He wants to know whether it’s possible that he himself has brothers, whether John Winchester could have had sons other than him.

Earlier in the week The CW released two new clips from “Jump the Shark”, Supernatural‘s none-too-soon return to the air after another tedious break. At least it’s the last break of this season.  One of those clips revealed that Sam’s research on Adam validates his story, with college records and other official documents on file. In the other, Dean seethed with jealousy when he found out that John took Adam to a Minnesota Twins game, a day that would have meant the world to him.

Today we have another clip from “Jump The Shark,” portraying the further developments in the relationship between the ghost fighting duo and their supposedly-long-lost brother, another piece in the puzzle of whether or not this goofy kid could really be who he says he is, and whether or not Supernatural has jumped the shark.

Supenatural is almost back and, finally, season 4 will air straight through until the very end.  After countless off-and-on scheduling flaws, the next four Thursdays will feature four new episodes of Supernatural leading up to the exciting season 4 finale on May 14 (despite early rumors that the show might have another break before the finale, we’ve confirmed that it’s not true).

Thus Thursday brings “Jump the Shark,” the episode that reveals Sam and Dean’s long lost half-brother Adam.  Or at least he claims to be their brother.  Supernatural has had some lies and false realities lately, and even the title of the episode suggests that adding a third Winchester brother is a terrible idea for the series.

The studio released two videos from this week’s episode featuring Sam and Dean’s reaction to finding Adam.  As you might’ve guessed, Dean doesn’t take to well to it.

Last night in “It’s a Terrible Life” Supernatural took a pleasant detour from the chilliness and despair of the previous two episodes. The colorful, offbeat story fans got instead did not have driven the global plotline forward in a way that makes you scream at the TV so loudly your neighbors bang on the wall. But it was a particularly fun chance to see the characters in a unique situation and to riff on Sam and Dean’s relationship.

Next week the detour continues in “The Monster at the End of This Book” when the Winchester brothers discover that a pulp fiction author is chronicling their story in a series of horror novels. In light of recent signs of the apocalypse they’ll no doubt find it disturbing that the series ends in Dean’s damnation.

The CW released a new video today from next week’s episode, a scene from “The Monster at the End of This Book.” The new scene plays up the comedy of the episode, as the paperback writer’s fictional characters show up at his doorstep demanding answers. It’s a strange new twist on the classic story Six Characters in Search of an Author, later loosely adapted into a classic episode of Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone.

After the latest, very dark and serious episode of Supernatural, the show is moving to a lighter tone. The next episode, “It’s a Terrible Life,” is a bit different as it features Sam and Dean living separate, different lives as two guys who work in the same office building but don’t know each other.

It’s bound to be a weird one, and the CW has released three video clips from this episode of Supernatural. So if you want to see Sam possibly hitting on Dean and the triumphant return of the Ghostfacers, check out these three video clips from the episode.

A new episode of Supernatural is just a few hours away, and to get you ready, we have a painfully great clip from tonight’s episode, “On the Head of a Pin.”

In the episode, angels are being killed, and Castiel suspects that Alastair knows who’s behind it. Rather than interrogate himself, he asks Dean to torture Alastair until he gets the information out of him. Watch a scene with Dean and Alastair below.

The first thing to note is that this clip is awesome. Dean is strong, and Alastair is creepier than ever. I realize this kind of performance on this kind of show doesn’t get much recognition, but I’m pretty sure I’d nominate Christopher Heyerdahl for a guest acting Emmy for his brilliantly horrifying performance here.

But the biggest bombshell comes at the very end, and Alastair delivers a line that is guaranteed to send shivers up your spine just like it does for Dean.

The return of Supernatural is just two days away, but parts of this week’s episode “Death Takes a Holiday” have already been released online in order to keep the excitement alive. Earlier this week The CW released three video clips from the episode. But The CW had one more to share. Something tells me they don’t need to worry. But I’m always happy to get new Supernatural footage.

We already know that in “Death Takes a Holiday” Dean and Sam pass into the spirit world in order to discover why no one is dying in a small town and to set death on its course.

Watch the clip and tell us what you think. Is Pamela right?
