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 …read more

Okay. After all of last summer’s teeth gnashing, and snarling, and bitter worry over Supernatural’s new women, Season 3 is complete. Ruby and Bela have come –and gone, thanks to Lilith.
For the past week, we’ve polled our readers on who they liked best –Ruby, Bela, or Lilith. The results: Ruby is soundly trouncing Bela and Lilith. Currently, with 96 votes, Ruby has 57.
I have to admit, I agree. I began the season, fully thinking, “Bela is more serious looking. She’s smart. She’s crafty. She’s a thorn in the boys’ sides.” Once things got rolling, though, Ruby, the nice demon, turned …read more

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 …read more

The finale finally hit us. Dean’s contract came due. Lilith wasn’t nearly defeated, and any damage that did befall her was definitely too late.

Two words: Bon, Jovi. Nice, weird touch, Mr. Kripke.
I’ve wished all season that Dean would have given Sam more credit, and trust that Ruby really did want to help them. You had to question her motives, yes, but they’ve had to compromise to get what they wanted before.
How about that Dean vs. Ruby fight in the opening of the episode? It was quick, but exciting, no?
This whole episode was so incredibly tense. I should have put a …read more

As expected, tonight’s Supernatural was very tense and exciting. Of course, the time is here, and Dean has the Lilith to pay.

I can’t wait for the season finale of Supernatural, No Rest for the Wicked. This promises to be so packed with action and emotional energy, a few diehard fans might explode on the couch. So, I’m picking up some plastic sheeting; a good supply of soda, Funyuns, and pizza rolls; and setting up a few simultaneous digital and VHS recordings, before the action begins Thursday at 9PM ET/PT, 8PM CT/MT.
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, …read more

In episode 3.13, Jus in Bello, we met Lilith, the new big bad in the Supernatural-verse. What we saw wasn’t pretty, especially since Kripke and friends pulled the old “pretty but creepy little girl” card, putting Lilith in the form of a sweet-looking lass. Unfortunately for all the boys nice new friends in local and federal law enforcement, the sweet eyes and shiny hair gave way to the hand that makes the whole building go boom.
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 …read more

Firefox News had an email chat with Supernatural’s writer extraordinaire, Sera Gamble. She talks freely about being on strike, and having the chance to write without staying in the bounds of wide marketability.
Gamble also spills some spoilers for the rest of the season, as well as her thoughts on the potential for Season Four. That nagging question about Ruby and Bela, and the fans’ strong feelings about them. There’s even talk about an old semi-hunter friend showing up again, as well as a brand new hunter who shows up toward the end of this season. [I’ll spoil a bit more …read more

So, last week, in Malleus Maleficarum –which, by the way means “Hammer of [the] Witches“, film at eleven- we caught a big eyeful of Ruby origins.
I thought this was fascinating, and just another pile of evidence of why Supernatural is one of the top dramas on television. Eric Kripke has led us, inch by inch, into Ruby’s little world. First, we had no idea who this crazy, Sam-stalking, demon-killing knife wielding woman was. Then, she reveals she’s a demon. Now, in Malleus, we find out how she came to be the demon that we know today. We also know …read more

A man and woman –Paul and Janet Dutton- enter their bedroom. Janet begins brushing her teeth, as we see another woman, somewhere else, chanting, and performing a spell on a toothbrush. As Janet brushes her teeth, they begin to come loose. She pulls a couple out of her mouth. She spits up blood, and more of her teeth, as the other woman ends her incantation.
