It would appear, by the evidence of the first few episodes at least, that “Supernatural” is trying something new this season. While the show has always employed a fine mixture of serialized and episodic storytelling, they’ve typically had the majority of episodes come to a definitive end. This time, the episodes are flowing into each other more directly. Maybe it’s a technique that is only going to be applicable until the Brothers Winchester find a way out of their current mess, but it’s quite an interesting way to start.
