Supernatural: The Boys Are Back Tomorrow
Are You Up for Cheatin’ Death?
It’s hard to believe the last fresh episode of Supernatural aired on February 5, just a little over a month ago, since it feels like the hiatus has been at least three times that long. Thankfully, the series returns tomorrow with “Death Takes a Holiday,” and now all will be right on Thursday nights for me again.
The latest paranormal adventures of the Winchester brothers will find them venturing to a tiny town where the local folks have a nasty habit of cheating death. You’d think somebody or something would be in charge of preventing naughty stuff like that, and you would be 110 percent correct.
Dean and Sam eventually learn that a supernatural dude name Alastair — it’s always the Alastairs, isn’t it? — has been hunting down Reapers, not because he’s especially fond of death-cheating humans, but because he wants to break another one of those all-important seals wide open. Death may take a holiday, but evil certainly doesn’t.
The big guest star of the episode is Christopher Heyerdahl, whom genre fans will have no trouble recognizing as the actor who plays both John Druitt and Bigfoot on Sci Fi Channel’s Sanctuary and Todd the improbable Wraith on Stargate Atlantis before it. Also reprising her role as blinded psychic and Winchester ally Pamela Barnes is two-time former guest star Traci Dinwiddie.
“Death Takes a Holiday” should be a great “We’re back, fans!” episode, so check out a preview below to get all warm and fuzzy in anticipation of its premiere. The sneak peek features Dean and Pamela having an appropriately freaky experience with regards to Sam.
Supernatural airs Thursdays on The CW at 9pm EST

Woo-hoo! Looking forward to the return of Supernatural, and Christopher Heyerdahl is an excellent choice for a guest star.

You know I agree, Morjana. This is going to be a good one and I can’t wait! The Winchester drought has lasted too long.
Hi, Chandra.
Well…our lovely Comcast Cable “dropped” the CW channel Thursday night just after Supernatural started, and it didn’t return on the air until just before the episode ended. Fortunately, I was able to see the episode through other, cough, means this weekend.
Excellent episode. Christopher Heyerdahl was amazing! And next week’s episode looks fantastic. Oh, this season has been so wonderful.
Many apologies for the delay replying, Morjana. I just realized you left another comment on this post because I’ve turned off automatic email notifications to reduce wasted bandwidth (no more free Blogger!).
I’m a Comcast subscriber, too, but fortunately there was no “dropping” incident in my neighborhood — I would have gone ballistic if so. Glad you were able to watch the episode elsewhere, though, because it really was excellent, including Heyerdahl. He can’t do any wrong, no matter what he’s on!
Hands down, Supernatural is one of the best shows on TV. People who don’t watch have *no* idea what they’re missing.
