Here's another reason to celebrate: the return of primetime television! Whoohooo!!! First up on my list in the season opener to my favourite TV show, Supernatural. Season 5, baby! And man, it's grown so complex that I'm wondering how they're going to do a reset if rumours about a supposed Season 6 are true. (Click here for my previous post with Season 4 recap video clip!)
Anyway. Season 5 kicked off last week with a bang, setting up the rest of the season with Lucifer (i.e. the devil) released from hell and roaming the earth in evil human form. It was a solid start to the season, and while Season 4's angel-revealing storyline was, in my opinion, the best, it certainly rocked.
One of my favourite things about the show whenever it debuts a new season is its title screen. Supernatural has changed the title design each year, usually reflecting the theme of the season.
Here's a clip showing the opening sequences across the seasons. Season 1, simply the title; Season 2, the title in flames; Season 3, the title amidst swirling dark clouds and lightning (my least favourite); last year's angel-filled Season 4 title card, which was my favourite of the lot, what with its compelling and portentous black wings; and Season 5's, which I now think is the best of the lot and which made me literally go, "Oh, coool!" the first time I saw it (which was just last week, heh!). Plus a couple of special title sequences used for an x'mas episode and a surreal storyline that featured Supernatural as a book series within the TV show. Check it out:
And then, of course, there was the bizarre Season 4 plot that featured monsters from classic black and white horror films coming to life. Naturally, the opening credits reflected that:
Heheh.
Well, that's all about Supernatural for the time being! At some point I'll blog about some of the tv shows that entertained me over the past few months during what the US calls "summer programming"; and of course, as returning faves and new shows debut their new seasons, I'll do my best to write about 'em too!! ;) Until my next post... see ya! ~N
