The fifth season revolves around the fight to stop Lucifer and save the world from the Apocalypse. Throughout the season, Dean and Sam battle both angels and demons as they fight their destiny to become the vessels of Michael and Lucifer. Unable to defeat Lucifer, they collect the rings of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which act as the keys to Lucifer's prison. The idea of destiny versus freedom and choice play a big role. Throughout the season, Dean, Sam, Castiel, and Bobby each have a crisis as they near giving up. However, through each other's support, they continue forward until the end.
Season 6
Creator Eric Kripke originally planned for the show to last only five seasons, but due to increased ratings from the fourth and fifth seasons,the CW network renewed the series for a sixth season.Kripke has confirmed he will not be returning as showrunner; however, he will still remain as a hands-on executive producer, leaving Executive Producer Sera Gamble to take over the reins.
Gamble said the sixth season of the show will focus on the brothers' relationship.The season will steer towards the format of the early seasons with "lots of meat-and-potatoes closed-ended episodes, and...a season-long story arc to weave in".According to a press release by the CW, Heaven and Hell are now in "complete disarray", forcing Sam and Dean to reunite to "beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn" that "roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape".
Filming for the season began with the Ackles-directed fourth episode, "Weekend at Bobby's", to give the actor enough time for preproduction.Misha Collins will return as series regular Castiel,as will Jim Beaver as Bobby Singer.Mitch Pileggi will make multiple appearances as Sam and Dean's grandfather.The recurring role of Christian, the maternal cousin of Sam and Dean, was given to Corin Nemec;he is described as "capable, calm under pressure, and very good at his job".Kim Rhodes will return as Sheriff Jody Mills,as will Fredric Lehne as Azazel.
The season airs on Friday at 9:00 pm in the United States on the CW and premiered on September 24, 2010.
Recurring Elements
While the locations and storyline change on a near weekly basis, there are a few things that show up regularly.

Colt 
The 1836 Colt Paterson, Texas—usually referred to as "The Colt"—was made by Samuel Colt for a paranormal hunter. According to legend, anything shot by this gun, using one of its thirteen original bullets, will die, including creatures normally immune to any and all weapons. John Winchester gives it to the demon Azazel in return for Dean's life being spared after an almost-fatal car crash, and at the end of the second season, Azazel uses it as a key to open a gateway to Hell that Samuel Colt had sealed. The last bullet is then used to kill the demon, though it is later repaired to allow the use of more bullets. Towards the end of the third season, Lilith's right-hand demon Crowley acquires the gun and hides it. It is then featured in two time-travel episodes, before Crowley returns it to the Winchesters so that they can kill Lucifer. However, Lucifer later reveals there are five things in creation which the gun cannot kill, and he is one of them.
The gun used in the series is actually a replica Colt ball and cap gun modified to fire metallic cartridges.On the barrel of the gun is inscribed the Latin phrase "non timebo mala", meaning "I will fear no evil".On the handle is a carving of a pentagram, with much of the finish removed to give it an aged appearance.The props department also has a rubber version of the Colt to be used in fight scenes for pistol-whipping.

Impala
Throughout the series, Dean drives a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala. Having been passed down to him by his father, it is Dean's most prized possession, with actor Jensen Ackles feeling it is Dean's "life" and "sanctuary".The brothers travel in it throughout the country as they hunt the supernatural, and the trunk holds various weaponry. In the first two seasons, it has a Kansas license plate with the number KAZ 2Y5, a reference to the Winchesters' home state of Kansas, and the series premiere date of 2005.Towards the end of the second season, the car sports a new Ohio license plate (CNK 80Q3) to aid the brothers in hiding from the FBI.
The origins of the Impala were first depicted in the comic mini-series Supernatural: Origins, in which John Winchester takes ownership of the car from Mary's uncle after accidentally getting him killed during a hunt. However, fans responded negatively to this, as John is shown with the Impala in the teaser for the pilot episode, which is chronologically set before the comic series. Due to this, the comic was altered for the trade paperback version,with the Impala's true origins later being depicted in the series' fourth season. Having been sent back to 1973 by the angel Castiel, Dean convinces his father to purchase the Impala over a 1964 VW Van. The car's origins were further explored during the Season 5 finale, in which a frame story surrounded the plot of the episode tracking the Impala's history from its manufacture, through several previous owners, up until the present day.
All of the cars used in the show are stock 1967 Chevrolet Impalas four-door hardtops. They feature Chevrolet small-block engines, recolored interiors, custom seats, and nonfunctioning radios. Other than the one used in the original, all of the Impalas had to be painted black for the series. One of the Impalas used features a detachable roof and doors for up-close shots, and is capable of being separated in half.
Ruby's knife
Ruby possessed a mysterious and presumably magical demon-killing knife, which Kripke refers to as "a hand-to-hand version of the Colt".Its handle is made of elk antlers, and the knife has engravings on both sides of the blade, although the symbols are all balderdash.It has been seen and used many times following its introduction in the third season. Upon being stabbed in a vital area, the demon suffers immediate death, usually taking the human host with it. It is unknown if it is effective against other supernatural beings, although it is useless against angels. Furthermore, the demon Alastair is resistant to the knife's power. How the knife functions has yet to be revealed, and creator Eric Kripke doubts it ever will be, stating, "I like to leave some things mysterious. And that’s likely to remain mysterious"
66 seals
Holding Lucifer at bay are over 600 mystical seals, only 66 of which have to be broken for him to be released. The first seal needed to be broken is a "righteous man" spilling blood in Hell. The demon Lilith ensures Dean Winchester gets sent there at the end of the third season. While in Hell, Dean's decision to torture souls to free himself from his own torment breaks the first seal. This allows Lilith to begin breaking the remaining seals, prompting the angel Castiel to resurrect Dean from Hell to stop her in Season Four. The remaining seals are broken over the course of the season, with the final seal being broken by Sam when he succeeds in destroying Lilith in the finale "Lucifer Rising".
Trouble with the law
Because Dean and Sam do not get paid for their hunting, the brothers earn their living and pay for their hunting equipment through credit card fraud, poker winnings, and pool hustling. Furthermore, their investigations often put them on the wrong side of the law, as they have desecrated graves, impersonated various officials, and committed breaking and entering.
Framed for murder and bank robbery by shapeshifters, Dean has become a highly wanted man, and the brothers are occasionally pursued by various law enforcement officers, most notably FBI Agent Victor Henricksen. Because of their wanted status, the brothers often use aliases, usually derived from hard rock musicians, film references, or, in a meta-reference, the book Fletch and movie based on the book where the title character does the same thing. However, in the third season episode "Jus in Bello", Sam and Dean are presumed dead in the explosion of the Monument, Colorado, Sheriff's office and jail, ending the FBI's pursuit of them.

Blues 的评语：
这部戏每一级的故事都相当精彩。它那带着点点的悬疑味道，将会慢慢地引人入戏。而两位男主角-Sam和Dean(Jared Padalecki和Jensen Ackles饰)，我认为他们演得不错，尤其是Jared饰演身为Dean的小弟-Sam时的风范，还有那顾及哥哥的眼神和有时候有些无奈的神韵，让我都好想有他为我的兄长。我认为Jared是做到了身为弟弟的这个角色应有的风范这一点，演得相当不错。戏的情节颇为简练，这点我喜欢。只是，它的恐怖指数不怎么高就是了，而且有些恐怖的部分竟然让我想笑。虽然这部戏没有我以为的“会很恐怖、精彩、刺激”，不过，整体来说，我认为这部戏是蛮不错的。因为是series的关系，我没法一一去做评论，所以这一次我给予这部戏的评论大致上就显示着样子了。
我将会给这部戏三粒半的星级。它的Medal是Medal 4。
