Supernatural Season 4's premiere can be summarized in three letters: OMG!!!
Due to last years writer's strike, Eric Kripke and his writing team were forced to push on ahead even though a lot of questions from last season went unanswered. Eric Kripke has said that he will continue to answer those questions but it looks like we may have to wait a while.
Those who know and love the show know that season 3's season finale ended with Dean in hell but in the opening sequence of Lazarus Rising shows Dean rising from his grave. How did that happen? Only God knows.
I don't read spoilers of upcoming episodes but there were some things that I was pretty certain of what was going to happen on the show in this new season:
1) Dean would rise from the grave.
2) Ruby would return.
3) Sam would figure out his psychic immunity to Lilith.
4) Sam would go after Lilith.
The return of Ruby is the one thing that was addressed on the season premiere that has me the most baffled. Dean finds Sam in a motel with a girl who we find out later is Ruby. Obviously, Ruby has to pretend that she doesn't know who Dean and Bobby are when she answers the door to Sam's motel room. The scene in itself wasn't too insightful on the first view. We simply figure that Sam just started living his life where Dean left off. Only when we realize that she's Ruby do the questions start mounting.
1) Ruby has been traveling with Sam which is probably why Sam hasn't kept in contact with Bobby since Dean's death. Is this because she's been helping Sam cultivate his power?
2) Ruby was scantily clad when she answered the door to Sam's motel room. Are they sleeping together?
3) However, Sam tells Ruby that he still doesn't trust her when it comes to his power.
4) Ruby tells Sam that he needs to tell Dean before he hears "it" from someone else. We assume she is just talking about his psychic power. Again, are they sleeping together?
5) Ruby always seems to know what's going on. Did she "see" Dean and Bobby coming and then dressed accordingly as not to draw attention to what is really going on and, if that's the case, was Sam faking his reaction to seeing Dean?
Obviously, this season is going to show the boys butting heads more than usual, especially now that both of them are keeping secrets from each other. Both are strong-willed and Sam has four months of working sans Dean so we'll just have to see what happens. All I know is God saved Dean! How cool is that!
