Matt Roush of TV Guide has chosen this week's episode of Supernatural as one of his top picks.
Supernatural (Friday, 9/8c, The CW)
OK, let's try this one again. Or: Did the Devil make The CW pull last week's episodes ofSupernatural and Smallville at the last minute? Way to agitate your fan base. Barring another calamity, the network's cult faves will return from their overlong holiday hiatus with new episodes. The winter run of Supernatural begins with questions lingering around Sam and his long-lost soul. Namely, was Death able to restore the poor guy's humanity without making him lose his mind in the process? While brother Dean and father-figure Bobby are on vigil, they're distracted by a series of mysterious vanishings. Virgins have gone missing, and word is that a dragon is responsible. Dean as dragonslayer? Count me in. An hour earlier, on Smallville, all hail the return of Chloe. But is she a good Chloe or a bad Chloe? Let's hope we get to find out this week.
