It's not unusual for shows to shift from a story of the week to focus on the characters. Look at Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or House. But with most shows, the lighting, music, and pacing, all the elements that set the tone of the show with the viewer, stay more or less the same from episode one to the very end. Not so with Supernatural. When Supernatural began, the tone was creepy. Each week felt like a new horror movie. The brothers drove through ghost stories, something under the water, Bloody Mary, and monsters in the woods. Suspense was king. Now angst is king. The suspense and drama takes a back seat to the conflicts between the characters, their tragic back stories, and their bitter humor as they work through all the traumatizing things that have happened to them. All the elements of the show work together to reflect that change. Watching an episode of Supernatural today feels different than watching the episodes in the first few seasons.
