Supernatural's season premiere did a great job of setting up the season and making us anxious to see more.

While there's no doubt that Supernatural can still deliver, the premiere felt too chaotic to get a real sense about what the future holds, or whether the promise of returning to its roots will be met. We'll just have to continue to wait and see.

Supernatural is ready to start trying to once again build a mighty, steadily escalating end-of-the-world scenario that will reach to the skies.

Season 8 of Supernatural feels unevenly paced with almost too much going on. I understand that this show went through a major turn in direction, but it should still feel like a continuation of season 7.

The episode felt somewhat low key for a premiere, but it had plenty of elements that made me think that season eight and new showrunner Jeremy Carver will be the resurgence this series needs.
