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’s supervising producer and writer, Sera Gamble spoke, recently, with Karen Rollins of BBC News. Rollins brought a unique perspective to the interview, and brought out a few details that we don’t usually hear about in Sera Gamble, or other writer, discussions.

There’s a reason she’s one of my favorite interviewees. As an example, to differentiate Supernatural from other television paranormal fare, Gamble notes, “when our characters find a ghost, they don’t talk to it – they shoot it in the face.”

She touches on one of the reasons that Supernatural is shot in Vancouver. The damp, rainy darkness gives the show a “late 70s/early 80s ‘B’ horror movie” feeling. That is one of the shows selling points.

Of Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, she points out that they’re as “sweet [as] handsome.” The best point, though, is that, “The show really started when they were cast.” Indeed it was.

Of course, she hits upon the point of the show, “The boys jump in the car which has a trunk full of weapons and fight evil.” Yes, they do. It doesn’t hurt that they’re really cute; or is it one is cute and one is really cute?

If you love Supernatural, and you enjoy digging into the behind-the-scenes details of the show, then you’re probably familiar with writer Sera Gamble. As writer or story editor for most of the series, so far, she has to take at least some of the blame for elevating out fears of cannibals, big country lakes, mirrors, clowns, falling in love with werewolves, mausoleums, and –now- melon ballers.

She shares her take on season 3, and teases us about season 4, in her interview with Alice Jester at BlogCritics.com. She does touch on some spoilers that are, technically, already floating about on the internet. So, if you’re squeamish about spoilers, you won’t want to read this interview. She does, however, mention that she’d like to leak fake spoilers out, to help fans be as surprised and excited, as the writers are, when they create each episode.

In fact, right now, she says, she’s working on episode 2 for next season; one which brings back several characters from the past. She also talks a bit about the process –how ideas are pitched and expanded- in the writers’ room, as well as her newer role as producer

So, if you don’t mind a little spoiler action, check out this new Sera Gamble interview at BlogCritics.com.

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.

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 after the break, if you're not squeamish about that.]

Girls, I’ve had loads of questions and comments about those “delicious tattoos”. Well, Ms. Gamble spills about those, too.

Episode 3.14

In the next episode, they steer clear –more or less- of the mythology introduced in Jus in Bello. It’s a bit of emotional relief –comic maybe- involving the Hellhound’s Lair boys from Season One episode Hell House. They show up doing a pilot for a cable show called Ghostfacers, so you can imagine the pseudo-documentary mayhem that will ensue. Sera Gamble says it will be “an entertaining episode.” Plus, it gives us –and them- a little emotional break before it gets too close to the big day for Dean, as his year comes to a close.

Miss Gamble also explains the crazy writing credits for Dream A Little Dream of Me, in that Cathryn Humphris completed the story that Sera Gamble began. Eric Kripke pulled her in to the writing of Jus in Bello.

Also appearing in Sera Gamble’s spoilage:

• Lilith
• Agent Henriksen
• The Tattoos! I know, already mentioned, but everyone keeps asking.
• Ellen Harvells returns in the season finale!
• New hunter, who, at this point, is a “paranoid survivalist type”.

So, check out exactly what she says at Interview: Sera Gamble.

You may be bummed about the You may be bummed about the writers’ strike and the end of your favorite shows, possibly until October 2008 for many. Well, fill that void of seemingly endless voidiness with some yummy words from a real live writer for one of your favorite shows ever –Supernatural. Sera Gamble’s website features a lot of fun and interesting facts about her, her projects, her past work, as well as a good FAQ for would-be TV writers.

Can you submit your coolest idea ever for Supernatural to her?

No!

From her Script Writing FAQ:

First of all, I am required to immediately hand over anything idea-ish to the Warner Bros legal
department. Second of all, I am not the Jedi you are looking for. That would be the showrunner.

On resources for future script writers:

I learned about screenplay structure by reading Screenplay by Syd Field; that’s kind of the OG of
screenwriting books. I learned about TV script structure by studying actual TV scripts. David Mamet has an
insightful book of essays called Writing In Restaurants (the bit about the “dead kitten speech” is priceless).

I won’t spill the whole deal. She has loads of information, and her website itself is a great resource for aspiring writers, and for fans of her work.

Check out more at Sera Gamble’s website.

Stories like this, with little kids, tend to be very creepy. Buffy had a couple of them, and it’s a bit freaky when either the children are in danger, or they turn out to be the freaky bad guys.

Grab a cookie and watch:

What do you think? Creepy? Touching? What’s up with that background music?

From the CW:

Dean (Jensen Ackles) pressures Sam (Jared Padalecki) into visiting Cicero, Indiana, so he can visit an old flame named Lisa (guest star Cindy Sampson), he had a tryst nine years ago. However, Dean is stunned when he meets not only Lisa again, but also her 8-year old son Ben (guest star Nicholas Elias), who bears a striking resemblance to him.

However, Ben soon goes missing and Sam and Dean discover that a Changeling, a demonic parasite, is snatching kids from the small town and assuming their form. Meanwhile, Ruby (Katie Cassidy) makes contact with Sam and reveals some startling information about his mom.

Phil Sgriccia directed the episode written by Sera Gamble.

This is just a synopsis, so which spoilers and rumors do you believe? Ben… Dean… hmmmm? Is it just a demon messing with their minds? Or both?
