raloriaJust found this review on DVDVerdict.com.
I don't always agree with the reviewer's opinion on the episodes, after all, I like all the episodes...even the ones that aren't stellar have their good points. But the review is very in-depth and ends with this lovely observation about the brothers...
Supernatural: The Complete Second Season may be too self-absorbed for the casual viewer, but fans, particularly female fans, will likely be pulled in by the emotional roller coaster. It wasn't until I watched several episodes in a row that I realized how often these boys cry on this show. When they aren't crying, they're proclaiming their love and devotion for each other (if not exactly to each other), or they're holding, touching, and hugging. Mind you, I'm not complaining. I prefer my men on the emo side. Says Sam to Dean in the finale, "You're my big brother. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you." And that, right there folks, is the reason you watch Supernatural.
Oh, yes...gotta love the brotherly angst. :D
If this show just had two pals (non-related) or two characters that didn't get along, would we care? I think not. It's the bond shared by the brothers that keeps us watching. Seeing them struggle not only with things supernatural, but with each other at times, while fiercely protecting each other is what drives the show.
