Casting news (foilers or otherwise) continued to leak out this past week. Michael Ausiello gave up a spoiler allegedly about the episode directed by Jensen Ackles: “I hear the show’s fourth episode back – the one directed by Jensen Ackles – 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.” A fly in the ointment is that Ackles has already confirmed that he’s directing episode 5.03 not 5.04. SpoilerTV is reporting that the title of this episode is “Weekend at Bobby’s”.
Brit genre magazine SFX, in its latest issue (#198), is reporting a mini-interview with Eric Kripke, Sera Gamble and the other writers, in which they claim that Crowley will be in a lot of season six (perhaps as the season’s Big Bad?). There’s also talk of bringing back Death the Horseman, the Trickster, and Ellen and Jo (as ghosts). Chuck, however, will apparently not show up, nor will there be any explanation of his mysterious vanishing act at the end of “Swan Song”. Just as well. I’m feeling tortured enough by that “summer” promo with the Chuck voiceover on the CW site.
Hey, ‘Supernatural’ fans. Well, I’m into season three now, after a short break last week to recover from season two. I was sort of bummed out the way it ended and needed some time to get my wits together. I was majorly sad about Dean’s deal with the Crossroads demon to save Sam. It was a tough spot, to be sure. He had to save his brother; on the other hand, how will Sam feel when Dean’s gone in a year? Clearly, I’ve got too much invested in these characters.
Still, even with all of that hanging over them, the writers managed to lighten things up in season three … sort of. Dean just doesn’t really give a rat’s ass about anything, which is pretty fun. But Sam’s onto him. He knows he’s terrified, and I have to think that Sam will figure a way out of that deal, even though he’s killed the Crossroads demon. I’m not totally immune to their situation, though. I know one or both brothers spend time in Hell eventually.
And Sam is the anti-Christ? At least, that’s what Gordon told Bela, and he sure seemed hell-bent on killing Sam. Well, until Gordon got turned into a vampire and ended up expiring. What a way to go.
The stories with children really creep me out, and freaky kids are quite the norm on this show. I’m talking about episodes like ‘Bedtime Stories,’ where the girl in the coma uses fairy tales to try and get her message across. Or ‘A Very Supernatural Christmas,’ where people end up getting yanked up the chimney — in front of their kids (just think of the therapy bills)! Or ‘The Kids Are Alright,’ where the Changeling locks the kids up and replaces them with other souls. I still refuse to believe that kid wasn’t Dean’s son. There are just too many similarities there.
And speaking of the Christmas episode, that was quite the grisly scene in the basement of the wreath-making lady, not to mention she and her creepy husband tying up the boys in their Christmas Village home and yanking Sam’s fingernail off. Good grief, that was hard to watch.
All of that juxtaposed with the young Winchester boys celebrating a dismal Christmas without their dad, Sam learning the truth about hunting, and Dean receiving the golden amulet from Sam was one of the saddest and sweetest things I’ve seen in a while.
Overall, I’m still really loving the series. The case-of-the-week stories are interesting, but it’s the evolving mythology of Sam (who is he?), Dean, and their dad that keeps me hooked. I find it interesting that Dean refuses to believe in angels. Even if he’s never seen any evidence of them, you’d think he might consider the idea that there’s something to counter all of the demons in the world. But you never hear talk of Heaven — only Hell. Their dad must have gone somewhere when the gateway to Hell opened and he got out.
Ok, that’s all I got for now. I look forward to your thoughts on ‘Supernatural.’

A small town advertises their commodity, a wishing well that really works, in the new “Supernatural“. When a young girl’s teddy bear comes to life, Sam and Dean discover that the town’s wishing well really works, blurring the line between reality and fantasy.
Wes, a nerdy bachelor who was previously ignored by women, now has a beautiful girlfriend named Hope who is completely in love and enamored by him after he made the wish in the well. Hope seems to enjoy doing every task for Wes and he was consequently reluctant to give up the prize when confronted with the truth.
Since everyone can put their wish simply by throwing a coin, the town becomes chaotic and the brothers have to stop this from getting worse.
The episode is called “Wishful Thinking” and aired on November 6 on The CW.
