Here some reviews of our show. I love that the ratings were so high. Yeah there werent's the big shows on the other networks but maybe some people will stay and tape the others...let's hope it!
About Jensen
"...Multifaceted characters in shows like The Wire and The Shield, in which a
razor-thin line separates the good guys from the bad, have always been ignored.
That hasn’t changed.
Denis Leary’s disturbing and disturbed fireman in Rescue Me has been
overlooked this year, although he was nominated for best drama actor in the
last two years. (This year, he is up for best supporting actor in Recount, a TV movie about the 2000 US presidential election.) Also not for your consideration are Jensen Ackles of Supernatural, whose tough character is more than just a demon slayer...
Newsadvance review
"Jensen Ackles really is one of the most talented actors on TV these days. He can say it all with just one look."
Eclipse Magazine review
Jensen Ackles is on fire in this episode. And no I don’t mean hellfire, I
mean that there seems to be, in my opinion a renewed passion in his work this
season. Last season, as much as I really admire Ackles for his mastery of his
craft as an actor, I felt that in season 3 there were more ‘misses’ in his
performances than ‘hits’ than in the previous two seasons. But to be fair I
also feel that the impending writer’s strike had more to do with that than
anything. It just seemed to throw everything off kilter and out of step. But in Lazarus Rising one thing is very clear, Jensen Ackles is back in full swing and back in step as he more than rises to the challenges being presented to his character of Dean Winchester. It would appear that so far this season the combination of the writers, the director and Jensen Ackles have come together in perfect union to once more solidify Dean Winchester as one of the best and most intriguing characters on television today.
TV GUIDE
Even though Sam and Dean shared some touching moments, all was not right in their world. They’ve always kept a secret or two from each other. After all, Dean still hasn’t found out about Mary recognizing the demon that killed her. But what transpired in this episode has really set the brothers on two different paths. Sam told Dean that Ruby was dead. We know that she never died. She just switched bodies (more on that in a little bit). Sam was pretty vague about what he did during his four months without Dean. And he certainly lied about using his powers. Dean told Sam he couldn’t remember anything about hell. We know he’s been getting some flashes (not much, but it was still something). He also lied about going to summon the thing that pulled him out of hell. We’ve got lies, half-truths, omissions and differing agendas threatening to separate the Winchesters.
It felt like we’ve been building up to everything that happened in this episode for years. A lot of the dialogue had its roots in seasons past. Castiel calling Dean out on not having any faith, not feeling deserving of being saved; our first inkling of that happened during Season One in "Faith." And since the beginning we’ve seen Sam evolve from this kid who just wanted to be normal to a guy who wanted to avenge his girlfriend’s death and then get out of the fight; to a man who has accepted his fate. He’s gone from abhorring his psychic ability and for better or worse has now accepted them to fight the good fight. I’m definitely interested in how long Sam and Dean will be able to exist together when there are so many obstacles that could tear them apart. Yes, it's good to have Supernatural back on the air.
