I accept, I've always needed a "catch all" thread going here. The one where you can make comments about the little jarring changes I keep making to the site, suggestions about what you'd like to see (yes a spoiler page is in the works once spoilers actually start happening) or you might have a question at large about Supernatural or any Supernatural related news you've heard recently. Here is the place to post all those non-article related things. No question is too burning! I might not always know the answer, but I am a bit more informed that the average fangirl so try me. We've got some time to kill during this hellatus, so fire away! Just not literately.

C'mon, that's funny, laugh, dammit!
On another site (can't remember which) someone said that Jensen said that season six would be his last season. Sounded definite but you never know. Have you heard anything like that? I like to hope that even though their contracts are up this season that they could be persuaded to continue. (Selfish of me, I guess). Just don't want to say goodbye to the Winchesters.
What's a zombie alligator?
I only read ONE post on ONE site so I knew to take with a grain of salt but when I see that I can't help worry a bit. Is it normal to be so emotional about a TV SHOW? I don't care. I am. One post does't even prove he said any such thing.
Thanks again.
Thanks!
On the video idea. What if you simply post the links? Most of the vids are YouTube right? Or would you run into copyright issues?
I heard there will be a Supernatural Anime. Do you have any info on it?
As a new fan, I have decided to get crazy and attend the Vancouver Con in August. If you have attended any past cons, do you have any tips or advice that might help this first-timer? I will be attending by myself, so I know I will be lost. Thanks!
PS. Rather shamefully the whole Zombie 'gator thing was more about Winchesters in wet t-shirt oppotunities than new and interesting MOTWs ... Sorry, it's me hormones ...
There's always the Winchesters arrival in Hammer of the Gods, all soaked hair goodness, and vivid imaginations....
Ardeospina's comment just above mine prompted me to take a look at the Episode Guide section and OH MY GOODNESS THAT IS AWESOME!
Thank you for the photos and the list of articles along with the particualr episode...wow. BTW, love the photo that you chose for The Song Remains the Same. I never noticed the brilliant blocking of that shot so that Anna is laid out on the hood of the firebird(?) so that the wings frame her perfectly. It's those little touches that make it all so special.
Great job and thank you for constantly making this a WOW site.
I've thought about it really long and maybe a musical episode could work like this:
a) every now and then common people like to sing, so maybe we could hear Sam singing in the shower, Dean singing in his car or Bobby singing while cooking hamburgers.
b) Sam and Dean accidentally meet a shapeshifter who is so impressed by womanizer Dean that he changes his form into Dean Winchester to hit on girls - and apparently the shapeshifter likes to dance and do Karaoke. Of course it would be funny to start the episode with shapeshifter!Dean performing on stage.
c) this time it's not a movie set that's being haunted but a music hall by the ghost of a rock star. It's like a death echo and they have to perform the old songs to get the ghost out of his loop. Of course in this one we can have both Jared and Jensen playing guitar as well.
d) or going for all three options above and combine them
A problem of such an episode might be the song rights. Maybe they could find a rock band from the seventies who is still out there and would love to have a little boost through Supernatural. Maybe even some of Jensen Ackles' friends like Chris Kane would like to perform on the show - as the ghost of a rock star because Chris Kane definitely has the right hair-do.
Mmmh, maybe they should meet vampire Lenore again, she has a beautiful voice!
September 10th here we come!
Very happy to hear (although not official yet) that only 11 and a half weeks to go (and it's the short half of the half too)
I may not have time to write all my articles...oh, the pressure.
Still, hopefully we'll get absolute confirmation shortly but in the meantime...WEEEEEEEE!
You are going to Comic-Con this year again aren't you? So jealous BTW, do you think Kripke and Sera will both attend the panel or do you think Kripke won't be there because he won't be the showrunner anymore?
Spoiler! Spoiler!
"As for "Supernatural", The Ausiello Files on EW.com provided the following tidbit on the fourth episode, which is being directed by Jensen Ackles: "[It] will be Bobby-centric and feature a character named Marcy Ward. Described as attractive in a down-to-earth/woman-next-door way, Marcy is a capable homemaker with a crush on her neighbor.""
Excitedexcitedexcited! I bet Jensen's going to be amazing! And some romance for Bobby, I bet he'll be oblivious.
A lot of the commenters were going on and on about what a dick Sam will be for being out of hell for a year and not telling Dean--just another example of how selfish and what a brat sam is... Now... I think I've read pretty much all the spoilers for the new season, and the only thing I recall the show-runners saying is that the show picks up a year later. I don't think it's ever been stated that Sam has been out of hell for that entire year... am I remembering incorrectly? I posted a short comment after the article saying what I thought was the case and also saying that everything is speculation at this point and that this attitude was getting people all riled up for nothing, since we won't know anything until the season premiere. Needless to say, I was ignored.
Can anyone here clear my memory up for me?? Thanks!!
Any idea why futon critic and my local cable all indicate that Hammer of the Gods and The Devil You Know will not repeat but rather the CW is going to wrap up Season 5 on Sept 3rd and then by all appearances have no SPN on Friday Sept 10th and Friday Sept 17th?
Sure, I know next Friday (a whole week from now :roll:: ) will prove whether or not it is Two Minutes to Midnight rather than Hammer of the Gods but I was just wondering whether you had any info on that.
Curious, as always.
CW dreams of the day it gets the ratings of Psych, Burn Notice, White Collar...dream on, but I wish it got them too. Perhaps if it aired it's shows during the summer and winter repeat doldrums as first runs eps they'd get a better shot.
Oh, well, can moan and groan but it doesn't make any dif and with the DVDs to be here soon, I'll be enjoying all the extra goodies on those Friday nights whilst I wait.
Thanks for the info!
I will have fullsome reports posted on my site but here are a few teasers. I am a fan of Jason Manns, so I was very happy to see that he would be in attendance for this Con. Plus, we got bonus musicians calling themselves Dos Los Diablos (I think). Turns out these two fellows were more familiar to us than we realized.
Richard Speight Jr, who is a blast, does a bit of a tour thought the audience during his panel. When he sees a guy in the audience he stops and says "Wow, there's a dude here?" and procceds to question him.
There was a suprise question asker at Clif Klosterman's panel.
And they moved the Keroke from the broom closet of a room from last year down into the main ballroom. Meant there was no alcohol, but with the stage...awesome.
Anyhow, more to come later. Now I must get back. Cheers

Voting ends Tues. the 28th.
With all the hype over the show being moved and trying to get the fandom to watch tonight's (wednesday's) episodes to support SPN and give them stellar ratings, a question occurred to me. Forgive me if you'd answered this before....
If I'm not a Nielson member, how will my watching the show tonight help? How are ratings actually calculated? How does anybody know what I'm watching?
Thanks!
Everyone knows that there needs to be better ways to measure, especially DVR and online. Those can be measured a bit more accurately and there's word that will be rolled out sometime next year. Actually, The CW does know when you watch online and how many times. So that's something. In the meantime, enjoy the repeat!
I'm a new member to your website and I wanted to express the pleasure I get from reading the articles that you and your staff post as well as links to other sites with other information. I have noticed that although there does seem to be some disagreement among some of the posters as to the current season, it does appear that it is very civil. I've noticed that on other sites this is not necessarily the case. I find this refreshing and entertaining. A real constructive debate! BTW - If I seem to have some run-on sentences, that's because I'm studying to be a lawyer and so I'm quite used to that format. We're a long winded lot. Sorry. Anyway, great job and I look forward to reading and posting in the future. Supernatural is one of the most entertaining shows that I've ever been interested in watching. It makes it fun!
I noticed that elle2 hasn't posted reviews of the last 2 episodes and her "Mystery Spot" link to her articles is no longer on the front page. Is she still a member of the WFB writing staff?
I for one am extremely grateful for all elle2 has done for this site. She was the first writer to come on board (other than myself) and that summer of 2009 we single handedly took this site to entire new levels. I'll never forget those times! We've grown so much since then. I do wish her the best and if anything, hope she finds her love of Supernatural again.
Elle2, if you are lurking - sending you the most of good wishes!!!
Love, Jas
So thank you for that, elle2. You will be missed. The best of luck to you!
I had a question that prompted me to think maybe you could do one of your awesome "This is how things work in the industry" articles. At this point we all know that Frontierland and My Heart Will Go On switched airdates. This has happaned in past seasons as well. Who makes those decisions? The newtork? And it seems like they switch them after they've been shot, so what happens with plot continuity problems or lines that may be out of place? I'm so curious about this!
The CW network makes the decision and only the network. Often times it's because the original schedule has changed and it makes sense to air one episode before another. Take for example Season 3, "Mystery Spot" and "Jus In Bello." "Jus In Bello" was filmed before "Mystery Spot" but because of the writers strike and the possibility that the season would be done after those episodes, they thought "Jus In Bello" would be a better one to finish the season since it was an action episode. I have to agree with that choice because "Jus In Bello" felt like a much better episode to follow "Mystery Spot."
I didn't agree with "My Bloody Valentine" and "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid." They switched those because The CW mucked with their schedule and came back from the break a week later than planned. Sadly, just because "My Bloody Valentine" aired on the week of Valentine's Day, the changed order really threw off the pacing of that part of the season.
I hope this answers the question, albeit belatedly.

"Good news, just landed in Canada for season 7! Bad news-apparently they don't like me in their country... so much for a warm welcome back..."
I haven't found out just yet exactly what that meant, but many have speculated that it has to do with a frisking he got at the Vancouver airport on another trip. If I get the real story (or get a chance to ask him at an upcoming Con) I'll share the story.
But, I just have to say.. I think I fell a little in love with Richard Speight Jr during his session. What an incredible man! Not only did he profess his sincere thanks to all of us for making his convention experiences great, he also returned the favor. Instead of just staying and talking on the stage, he walked up and down the aisles so that those of us in the "cheap seats" wouldn't be gypped. He also made the convention for one woman who was clearly a little emotionally overwhelmed with her first con experience. He invited her up to the stage, took her camera and took video of us and himself with her, then gave her a big hug. It was awesome. He was just a lovely human being.
Unfortunately, I've heard a rumor that Creation won't be coming back to Boston, so I'm glad I got to go now if that's true. If you haven't gone, I really urge you to at least once, even if it's only for the day, like me. It's really fun and you meet all kinds of great people!
I was there for Richard's first con in Chicago (then his second, and his third...) He was an instant hit from the second he stepped foot in front of everyone. He's an entertainer and cares about every single fan out there. Fans absolutely love him. He's got quite a career now going doing these cons. We can't imagine one without him now.
It's very likely Creation won't be back there. Boston was one of the new cities they were testing out this year. It sounds like the con didn't sell enough tickets or get enough demand. The same is true with San Francisco, they won't be going back next year. Nashville was a massive hit though so that's happening again. It's a shame that NJ seems to be the only East Coast destination.
Glad you had a great time! Hope you get to another one someday.
I'm watching the clock on the site... And it shows me that the seasons pilot will start in 11 days 22 hours and 54 minutes...? well at 9pm in the states... but here it will be 2/3 in the morning, Saturday? But it fits with the time on my computer? Does the countdown check my local time?
And I'll have to wait until someone is uploading it on my Internet site... So I'll have to wait until Sunday, maybe..

I was planning to go this year, but then they changed the date. Now I'm not so sure. It's a game time decision. I've also recently scored tickets to the LA Con in early March. The fact that it's on Super Bowl weekend makes it look doubtful. But we'll see, I could always show up last minute. No one else from the staff I know is going. Perhaps you can share your experiences with us? I know I'd love to hear about them.
