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.

Thanks to my compatriot Cynthia, from SF Universe, and Karla Petersen at the Union-Tribune.

To start it off, Supernatural’s Dean Winchester, Jensen Ackles, shares his thoughts on Season 4. He hints at some of the spoilers we’ve heard, like about what Dean went through in Hell, and what Sam was up to for four long months.

Eric Kripke offers his open-ended invite to bring Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He also offers the new, strange direction for Supernatural. Watch to see what I mean.

He also reveals that the Halloween episode will give the holiday treatment similar to what A Very Supernatural Christmas did for Christmas.

Note that the ancient holiday common to the Celts was Samhain, pronounced as if spelled “SOW-en“, not like Sam Hane. It was nice, however, to hear that the legacy of Donald Pleasance lives on.

Sera Gamble, talented writer and now show executive, gives extremely broad descriptions of Season Four. She did admit that every season just gets worse and worse for everyone.

Supernatural creator Eric Kripke delivered some bad news in an interview with TV Guide. Despite great admiration for Katie Cassidy, and a desire to bring her back in Season 4, the slumping value of the U.S. dollar has made it impossible to bring Ruby back from Hell.

Kripke said that Katie was great for the show. Despite this, and despite having the same budget as last year, producing the show in Canada where the U.S. Dollar is weak means making some hard decisions.

In order to balance the testosterone levels of the otherwise boy-heavy cast, Kripke plans to return to more transient female characters, that will come and go. The beginning of Season 4 will mean a change in the direction of the show, with Sam alone, and new hurdles, worldly and personal, to overcome. Kripke says they have also come up with innovative and “unexpected” ways to bring in, and dispose of, new characters.

So, we await a new season, with new surprises. It still sounds scary, though, doesn’t it?

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.

• “Down and dirty” Alona Tal discusses how tough she is, and how much people are attracted to mysteries.
• Jensen is serious, and Jared is just a “very tall boy“.
• Chad Lindberg (Ash) talks about how he “got to wear a mullet”, and his favorite “MIT” revelation moment.
• Gabriel Tigerman (Andy) showed a photo of his “ripped open guts prosthetic” to his mom. Happy Mothers’ Day!
• Sandra McCoy (Crossroads Demon) admits how she thinks she got on the show. She also admits not providing any gag reel footage. Dang!

Many of our Australian friends love the show Supernatural, and are working hard to lure a Supernatural Convention down-under. Australians, New Zealanders, Tasmanians, and any other South Pacific island fans deserve the opportunity to see the wonderful actors, writers and creator of the show in the flesh. If you’d like to see a convention in Australia, please help make it happen by signing the petition to help make a Supernatural convention a possibility. 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?

Sign the petition!

I think this would be sweet! Would you go to a convention in Australia? Are you in Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, or other Pacific island? Share your thoughts on a possible Australian convention in the comments.

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!

Check out Eric Kripke’s answers at Eclipse Magazine.

So, after the Ghost Hunters tribute episode, Ghostfacers, that gives us a little needed breather, we’ll turn headlong into the last three episodes of all Lilith and her fellow evil, all the time. Eric Kripke and Sera Gamble have promised that it’s not going to be pretty. Buffy fans remember seasons four, five, and six, where half of each season was spent fighting the unfightable. That’s what we’re likely to see in Lilith, just only in two or three episodes. Plus, now, they don’t have the Colt. Bela does, and she’s Kripke-knows-where. Of course, Dean will want to find and kill her. Sam, at this point, may or may not wish to stop him –depending on his frame of mind, at the time, especially his libido.

Ruby will be deep in the fight, and some speculate that we don’t really know what happened to Henriksen in the explosion. We only know that the news reported his death. Perhaps he’s gone rogue demon hunter, himself. More likely, though, he’s dead, but don’t put any of my hard earned cash on that.

Speaking of Henriksen, he and the demon horde in Jus in Bello were only the latest of the evils that Bela sent the boys’ way. That and her possession of the Colt, and her siccing Gordon on the boys, were more than enough to justify serious penalties from Sam and Dean, especially Dean.

So, enjoy the next couple of weeks of hard fought for reruns, then we’ll head into the fight.

What do you think will happen with Lilith, Ruby, and Bela? Why am I tempted to joke that they’ll move into a two-story Victorian in San Francisco, and begin saving innocents? Leave a comment and let us know where you think we’re headed in the closing episodes of Supernatural Season Three.
