    Badmouthing possums

    Minor correction - possums actually have too low a body temperature to carry rabies. They may carry other communicable diseases, but almost never rabies. Just in case you were wondering...

    The season gets worse from this episode onwards

    Season six is the worst season of the entire series. It starts with an awful opener that doesn't hold s candle to the excellent season finale of season 5. Plus the jerk Samuel returns which doesn't make any sense and Dean playing happy families just feels wrong.

    Season six was just an excuse to let the series drag on and they should have ended it at season five.

    Absolutely Overrated and Disappointing

    One year ago, Dean moved to Lisa's house to live a normal, "apple-pie" life with Lisa and her son Ben, as recommended by Sam, working as a construction worker.

    One day, Dean finds scratches of Djinn in several places and he chases the supernatural being. When his is attacked by the Djinn, he is saved by Sam that tells him that he was released from hell one year ago and teamed-up with their Grandfather Samuel and three Campbells. Now Dean has to decide whether he wishes to leave Lisa and Ben to hunt demons again or stay with his regular life.

    I have just bought the 6th Season of Supernatural and the first episode, "Exile on Main St.", is absolutely overrated and disappointing. Sam is back without any explanation and Dean is absolutely contradictory is his behavior. Further, he lives in a typical quiet suburb but no neighbor notes the weird things happening in Lisa's house. My vote is four.

    Title (Brazil): "Exílio na Rua Principal" ("Exile on Main St.")

    Ugh

    This entire show gets a 5. It stopped being fun when they stopped doing monster of the week. Yes, I love story arcs like the next person or it would be just another sitcom. I know a few people that idolize this show but to me it's just become crap like Vampire Diaries and Walking Dead. Most of the show has been filler since about season 4 on. I'm going to keep watching though. Everything deserves a chance right? I really hope this won't be Fringe and fizzle out. The writers love to kill people off in this show. Someone above mentioned Heroes...Heroes was good, the problem I think...was that people like all magic...all the time. Okay, done ranting. I'll be entertained until I'm not.

    The screenplay sucks!!!

    I'm a huge fan of supernatural and I love all the 5 seasons and I was awaiting season 6 and hoped it would be awesome like the other 5 seasons but...I was so disappointed!

    The screenplay sucks big time,the story is stupid and the music in dramatic scenes is so awful. Where are your writers,are they still on vacation? This show was so great,best music,best story,best acting,best scenes....All of my friends loved this show but now.....this episode is really disappointing and I wish now that they did end it with season 5 but I hope that they will do better in the upcoming episodes or I will stop watching! I'll give it 3/10,one for bobby,one for sam and one for dean.

    Get new writers!!!!

    • Trivia
      This is the lowest rated season premiere / opening episode (as of June 2018) and is the first episode after Kripke's original 5-year run.
    • Goofs
      Sam cuts himself with a knife to prove to Dean he is not a Shapeshifter, as they are burned when touched with silver. However Sam is using a store bought common pocket knife (looks like a Geber), which would not have a silver blade.
