Product Description
Movie DVD
As far as season cliffhangers go, it's hard to think of one as spectacular--or as insurmountable--as the fate that befalls Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) at the conclusion of Supernatural's third season, but that's only one of the many high points that await viewers in the course of these 16 episodes. Though the season is shorter (due to the 2007-2008 writers' strike), the overall quality of the episodes, both individually and as a whole, make the season one of the best to date in the show's history. The key to its success is the season's story arc, which has Dean and brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) struggling to continue their quest to fight evil while wrestling with the notion that Dean, who sold his soul to save his brother's life at the end of season 2, has only a year before the forces of darkness come to collect their due. What results is a strong mix of dramatic tension between Ackles and Padalecki (both actors come into their own with their characters in this season) and the more fright-driven fare by which the show has earned its reputation. Adding an intriguing wrinkle to the mix is the arrival of Ruby (Katie Cassidy), a demon who breaks tradition by helping the brothers in their adventures. Though not a fan favorite (and Cassidy herself would be gone by the end of this season, and replaced by Genevieve Cortese in season 4), her character underscored a recurring theme throughout the season--what is the true nature of evil?--which would be echoed in Dean's character development in the fourth and fifth seasons. It's an impressive direction for a series that might've continued down its Monster of the Week path, but instead took a bolder route, with considerable payoffs. The reduced number of episodes also means fewer extras on the five-disc set; instead of full-length commentaries, producer Eric Kripke and the production team contribute "Closer Looks," scene-specific commentaries on seven episodes. They're informative and amusing but lack the degree of information that die-hard Supernatural fans might be seeking. A 7-minute gag reel and a 5-minute tour of the brothers' beloved Impala are amusing but forgettable, as is the 15-minute pilot for Ghostfacers, the reality show hosted by hapless paranormal investigators Ed Zeddmore and Harry Spangler in the episode of the same name. More interesting and informative is From Legends to Reality, a 20-minute featurette on the show's special effects teams, whose work reaches a high-water mark in this season. --Paul Gaita

 Supernatural season 3 July 19, 2010

I like the show and the DVD but one disc was scratched making two episodes skip and stick.

Season 3 definitely makes an interesting chapter in Dean & Sam Winchester's lives. So far every season has pushed the bar forward, & season 3 is no exception. I couldn't help but scoot a little closer to the edge of my seat with every episode I watched! If you're considering buying season 3 I would suggest you follow these simple steps first: watch seasons 1 & 2 first..... & make sure you have season 4 ready to go!
the best tv show since buffy.... July 1, 2010

In Season 3, many demons have been released into the world. If the Winchester brothers thought they had their hands full before, they haven't seen anything yet. This is also the season where we meet 3 influential women: Ruby, Lilith and Bella. Of the three, Ruby is the most intriguing because it's unclear if she should be trusted or not (after all, she is a demon).
This season is much gorier than the first two. There are two decapitations and one is done with someone's bare hands. There's another scene where one of the brothers enters a basement full of dismembered body parts.
The increase in gore is understandable. This is a horror series and there's probably an expectation from fans to increase the violence each season. What bothers me, though, is the violence against women on this show. I understand the women getting beat up are demons, but still, there's a risk people could become desensitized from seeing a woman get her face and body punched.
And speaking of fight scenes, what's unrealistic about this show (besides the supernatural element) is how these brothers can get into serious fights and walk away relatively unscathed. They get punched, thrown across the room, and in the next scene, they just have one scratch on them and can walk fine, with no broken bones.
I've noticed the lighting of the scenes have gotten brighter. I wonder if the producers got complaints for being too dark. The darkness didn't bother me too much, but having brighter scenes is refreshing. It gives my eyes a break.
I like noticing the different changes in each episode. For example, it's fun noticing how each hotel room the Winchester brothers stay in is decorated. It's also fun noticing how the supernatural logo at the beginning keeps changing, too. For example, in Season 1, the logo shook around. In Season 2, it was surrounded by a burst of fire. And now, in Season 3, a 5-pointed star appears in the lettering, the letters drip, and there's smoke in the background with a sound effect that sounds like a monster groaning. In the Christmas episode, the logo changes again to match a Christmas theme, too.
The show is still copying other movies like Final Destination and The 6th Sense, but in the episode where we meet the Trickster for the second time, at least they admit they're stealing from the movie, Groundhog's Day.
The acting on this show keeps improving each season. These two actors are very believable as brothers. You see them fight and get on each other's nerves, but there's also great love and loyalty there, which is really highlighted this season. I even found myself getting teary-eyed in some places. So, the storylines keep improving each season, too.
Gotta love it! May 18, 2010

I am very pleased with the PQ on this BLU-RAY 3rd season of Supernatural. Howver, I cannot seem to get a menu of any kind, so once I put in the disc, I have to watch all the episodes in order... can't take a break or call up specific episodes... am I unique in this? do you other buyers share this? - I hope the manufacturer will fix this for the other Blu-Ray seasons cause this sucks! Otherwise, I would have rated 5 stars...
