When Eric Kripke appeared with Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki at Comic-Con, fans sat on the edges of their seats. Kripke, though, was his usual cryptic self, leaking more teasers than wholesome spoilers for Season Four.

One nice touch for X-Files fans, Mitch Pileggi will show up as Mary Winchester’s father. Of course, it would be an interesting coincidence if Sam and Dean showed up to a mystery and meet Mulder and Scully. In a universe that holds both duos, it would almost need to happen, and they would be a lot more helpful than Bela ever was.

Kripke and the boys did open up a bit more about Season 4, though, at the press roundtable.

Diehard fans know that must, and will, come back. In fact, the title of the season premiere, Lazarus Rising, makes an early return for Dean less than mysterious. Mystery, however, is what Eric Kripke has in mind for Season Four. Although Dean comes back early, the mechanics and the players involved in how and why it happened will remain to unravel over time.

Along the many other mysteries, only over time will we discover any details of Dean’s fate in the underworld. One thing Kripke has alluded to, like in other mythologies (Buffy, for instance) time in Hell moves much faster than time here. Four months in our time may have been like years for poor brother Dean.

According to Kripke, after an awkward Season Three, Kripke says he’s ready to turn up the heat, going into the best years for Supernatural. At this point, the show’s abundant supply of loyal fans are in for quite a ride. Both main characters have hit bottom. Dean has literally been to Hell and back. We don’t know, for sure, how or why he was brought back. His time there has surely left him quite a mess, and he’s going to fit into the destiny that, previously, only included Sam. His quick, shoot from the hip, personality, however, will still be there.

Up till now, Sam’s special powers and dark side have only given us passing glances. Now, Jared Padalecki is excited to see the show explore these elements of Sam in Season 4.

This sounds like the dream deal that Supernatural fans have waited for all their… well for the past three years. Head man Eric Kripke is looking at a two-year exclusive deal with Warner Brothers TV, that will ensure that he will continue to executive produce and run Supernatural. This would seem to mean that he’s ensured of having the fifth season that he’s always envisioned.

Kripke will also begin new projects under the deal. There doesn’t seem to be any mention of the Old West origins series that he has talked about. That would take squeeing fans back to the American frontier, when demons roamed the prairie, and Samuel Colt received his commission to create the now famous revolver that can kill demons with its special ammo.

Stay tuned for more info, but this is already exciting stuff!

Supernatural creator, and all around cool guy, Eric Kripke, spoke to TV Guide, and appears in this week’s issue of the magazine. He talks a lot about setting up Supernatural fandom’s Summer of Angst, and a little on what his plans are for Dean’s new direction.

He confirms a lot of rumors and fills in a lot of spoilage for the curious:

• Dean will stay in Hell for six months, in human time. In Hell time, it could amount to years.
• Dean needed to go to Hell. He needed a “turning point”.
• What happens in Hell, and how Dean gets out, are primary arcs in Season 4.
• Once Dean is out, he’ll have to adjust to the world that was forced to move on without him.
• Is Dean a demon? No. As many suspected because of Ruby’s revelations, having your humanity burn away requires centuries in Hell.
• Dean won’t remember much about his ordeal in Hell.
• Ruby will return. [I admit it. I like Ruby. I want to see her help them kick butt again.]
• A new species will appear. YUM!
• We’ll see more of Rufus Turner, Bobby’s friend in Vermont, from Time is on My Side, who gave Dean the information on Bela.
• I suspect, from Kripke’s revelations that we’ll see quite a bit of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, when Dean returns. He’ll have lots of issues rebuilding his life, after being in Hell for a considerable length of (Hell) time.
• Sam may have promised Dean that he wouldn’t try to discover his special powers, but I believe we’ll see some of it come out. Kripke only hints vaguely, but how else are they going to take down Lilith?

Okay. How excited are you to see Dean return, and find out what’s up with Sam and his “power”? Leave a comment and let us hear what you think about Season 4.

Many of our Australian friends love the show Supernatural, and are working hard to lure a Supernatural Convention down-under.

For you Amero-, Euro-, Afro-, Asiatic, diehard fans, who manage to make it to most if not all the conventions, wouldn’t an Australian convention be an awesome adventure?

Here are a couple of clips, a little later than we usually see them, but we have them now. Eat them up, digest, leave some comments expressing your thoughts, your worries, and your hopes.

In No Rest for the Wicked Clip 1, Sam (Jared Padalecki) is assuring Dean that he’s not going to go to Hell. When Dean looks at Sam, he gets a spooky glimpse of Sam’s face distorting into some demonic form. So, let the creep fest begin…

In No Rest for the Wicked Clip 2, Dean tells off Ruby, and tells Sam that she’s trying to trick him. Ruby is adamant that she can help Sam use his psychic, demon powers to destroy Lilith, and save Dean. Dean punches her, and the real action begins!

So, grab your lucky charms and rub, “Please, don’t be a cliffhanger. Please, don’t be a cliffhanger…”

What are your plans for the season finale of Supernatural?

Check out some highlights:

• Lilith biblical and Mesopotamian myth origins.
• Little girl vs. Big, Strong Man: the girl’s got skills.
• Lilith is the destroyer of children. So, this is going to be a “badass” battle to make the YED look like Toto (the band or the dog, I’m not sure. Those are my words, anyway).
• Religion? God? Angels? Origins of the Universe? Not so much? Or, do tell, Kripke?
• Sam’s and Dean’s personal belief systems?
• More Bela-ge – talk of the mercenary, Mr. Haney-woman of Supernatural Season Three.
• Jensen and Jared in tuxedos. Mucho macho, Man!
• Supernatural backstory much? Yes, sir!

Now, Eric Kripke and Jared Padalecki, recently, have been talking a lot about Sam’s developments in upcoming episodes. We’re going to see more and more of the darker side of Sam. Are we going to see that Sam is really part demon, somehow? Are we going to find out that John Winchester is not really Sam’s biological father?

What are we going to find out about Mary Winchester? Does she have some kind of good, paranormal background? Is she some kind of angel? Did she know the YED, before she met John Winchester?

It’s time to scour the rest of the Supernatural-verse looking for more clues! Where’s that comic…?

Chime in, and let’s hear what you think is going to happen. We’ve got loads of time to examine, frame-by-frame, episodes on DVD, and ponder every nuance of Kripke’s cryptic interview answers. What do you think is going to happen to Sam? And with all this, how is he going to help Dean? Is Ruby going to take out Bela, then save Dean herself, right before knocking some sense into Sam? Is Alison Dubois going to have to tell Sam what his mother thinks of his actions? Or is Melinda Gordon going to have to do it?
