Now done with Season Two and three episodes into S3.
The end of Supernatural's second run was strong. "Hollywood Babylon"--the first writing contribution of Ben Edlund, author of "Smile Time" (Angel) and "Jaynestown" (Firefly) and the subject of my own contribution to the Supernatural book Stacey Abbott and are doing for ECW--owed a lot to The X-Files' "Hollywood AD," but it had some fine moments; "Folsom Prison Blues" was an interesting variation on the prison genre; "What Is and What Should Never Be" showcased Jensen Ackles' acting talents in a It's a Wonderful Life/Buffy ("Normal Again," 6.17) homage.
And the two part All Hell Breaks Loose season-ender was Supernatural's first attempt at the epic: Dean's termination of The YED with the Colt, Sam's "Death," the mass escape from Hell, Dean's deal with the Crossroads Demon--unforgettable.
