YES! We have a Season 6!

It was confirmed today by the CW that Supernatural has been renewed for another year - Season 6, here we come!!

Also, in other news, Eric Kripke has stepped aside as ShowRunner and Sera Gamble will take over as of next season. Yay!! Apparently Kripke has other projects he's working on for the network, which is VERY exciting :D

And as for TVNZ? Well, who knows when they'll start airing Season 4 again...we're halfway thrugh February and they took it off the air at episode 4 of Season 4, which was in December, saying they'd bring it back "after Christmas"....HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

And what did everyone think of the last episode, "My Bloody Valentine"? Near broke my heart at the end...wonder if God was listening to Dean's desperate plea for help? I hope so. I can just see him saying "yes" to Michael if it means saving Sammy...

Now we have another hellatus - next new episode (season 5) will air on Friday afternoon, 26 March (NZ time), online of course (thanks to TVNZ and their erratic programming!).

Till then, keep cool, fellow kiwi's...this summer is a killer!

More Spoilers for S5, Courtesy of Sera Gamble

This TV Guide interview with writer Sera Gamble is chock full of interesting spoilers for upcoming episodes - take a gander!

Here's some highlights:

TVG: For Valentine’s Day you have “My Bloody Valentine,” airing February 11, with a Cupid. This being Supernatural, what kind of havoc does he or she create?

SG: Well, for starters, he shows up stark naked and gunning for hugs! Sam and Dean are investigating a series of gory murder/suicides—all people who were desperately in love. They suspect the culprit may be the supernatural being who made the matches to begin with—a Cupid [played by Southland’s Lex Medlin, as first reported by EW.com] gone rogue. So they capture and interrogate him. All I can say is, he is a very loving dude. It's hilarious.

TVG: Anything else you can tease?

SG: The search for God will soon yield a solid lead. The Archangel Michael will be introduced. We will answer the question, “What does Castiel act like when he's drunk off his ass?” And the brothers will go to Heaven. Yes, actual Heaven.

And don't forget - all new Season 5 Supernatural this Friday afternoon (NZ time) online - see link on the right hand side of this page =)

Sam, Interrupted

HAPPY NEW YEAR all! Wow, it's been a long hellatus...but hope is on the horizon! This Friday (NZ time) sees the return of Supernatural to the US screens, which means it'll be available to us around 4-5pm usually...and not a moment too soon either!!

To whet your appetite, here's a sneak preview of the episode...which, as we've come to expect, seems funny on the surface, but has an underlying air of painful truth to it. Can't wait!

The Real Ghostbusters

"Changing Channels" - what did you think?? Personally, I loved it - such great fun with all the TV show gags, and the bombshell re the Trickster's real persona? Awesome :) Loved it, all of it!

Now, to this week's episode, "The Real Ghostbusters". The official synopsis is:

Super fan Becky (guest star Emily Perkins) uses Chuck's (guest star Chuck Benedict) phone to trick Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) into attending a Supernatural fan convention, complete with fans dressed up as Sam and Dean.

One of the activities is a live action role playing game, but things quickly turn sour after a real ghost appears on the scene.

Jim Conway directed the episode with teleplay by Eric Kripke and story by Nancy Weiner.

Now, here's a couple of previews for you:





Looks like a doozy!!

And of course, the other news this week was that Jensen and longtime girlfriend Danneel Harris got engaged! So exciting, I literally sqeeeeed when I read this :D They are such a cute couple, and even though some fans are peeved? I think it's great news! I wish them all the best (as I know alot of my friends and fellow SPN fans do).

Awwwwwww...just so darn cute together! Best looking couple in town? I would say so :)

Enjoy this week's eppy guys!

Changing Channels

I know there's been alot of talk about last week's S5 ep, "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester". Some fans loved it, some hated it. My take on it is that it was great - loved Chad Everett as "old Dean" (and particularly loved that he picked up alot of Jensen's personal characteristics which made watching "old Dean" so entertaining). Jim Beaver's performance was top-notch - so great to see him shine like that! And I loved Jared's performance too - great supporting role, letting the aforementioned two shine, backing them up with a solid performance of his own, which is what made the whole ep work, in my humble opinion.

The comedy was brilliant! I was a little disappointed that the apocolypse storyline didn't seem to be progressed any, but then I did understand that Bobby had to have his day, and it was handled very well, I thought.

Overall, loved it - two thumbs up!

Next up, we have "Changing Channels" this week, and I found this great article from a writer who has had an advance screening of this ep. If you don't like spoilers, what are you doing here...kidding! Click on the link for the full article - I'm looking forward to the ep even more now, after reading it - he doesn't give away too much, but drops a few hints in there to make it more tempting. Perfect :)

Can't wait to see the Trickster at work again - one of my fave Supernatural "villains"!

Here's a taster...



And here's the official promo for the ep...



Enjoy the ep...Friday can't come soon enough for me...!

The Curious Case of Dean Winchester

Check out this great clip from S05.E07 "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester"...don't drink while watching, you're liable to snort liquid out of your nose :)

TV Schedule for Season 5 - October/November 09

Here's a list of when S5 episodes will be shown online. Looks like the last new episode will be aired Fri November 20th (NZ time). S5 the continues in 2010...after a 6 week hellatus!

Enough with the hellatuses already! Sheesh...

And I hear that TVNZ are playing S4 straight after S3 (just like they did with S2-S3!) so this Friday sees "Lazarus Rising" on our screens here in NZ - woot woot!

"About time, TVNZ!"...that is all :)
