TV – Supernatural Season 8 Top 5
With Dean, and eventually Castiel, returning from purgatory with the help of vampire Benny and archangel Naomi respectively, they discover that Sam has given up hunting and led the quiet life with Amelia. But this is Sam and nothing ever goes right for him and Amelia discovers her thought to be deceased husband is still alive so Sam moves aside so they can reunite and starts hunting again with Dean. Season eight was a solid season, great standalone stories, some actual emotional issues for the boys to handle, the added element of the Voice of God, Metatron, and the three trials that Kevin Tran has managed to translate from the Demon Stone. With Benny being selfless and Naomi being devious, Castiel a bit warped and Crowley being Crowley, season eight was highly enjoyable despite the issues behind the scenes with yet more showrunner changes.
