Supernatural's "Soon" teaser contains hints at three upcoming episodes.
"I Believe the Children Are Our Future" has the little boy/demon spawn, who is supposed to be the anti-Christ whom Castiel says must be killed.
"Changing Channels" (I believe that's the title) has the Japanese game show/CSI/sitcom/Grey's Anatomy spoofs and is all the work of the Trickster.
The poker game scene is likely to be the episode entitled "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester", which is where we'll see Chad Everett playing the elderly Dean.
Episode 9 is called "The Real Ghostbusters" and they're casting two men in their 20s-30s to play a copier repairman and a nerdy stereo salesman.
They've cast the role of Crowley for episode 10 called "Abandon All Hope..." written by Ben Edlund. According to spoilers, Mark Sheppard will play a "pivotal" crossroads demon. It's the last new show of 2009 and is said to be "epic" and will "definitely ... have the fans on the edge of their seats going into the holiday 'hellatus'". [Source Spoiler TV]
I read somewhere that two fan favourites die in the battle against Lucifer. I wondered if that's what had pissed shrift off. It's not like the show really has two people available to get killed off and still have Bobby and Ellen survive.
That may indeed be what pissed shrift off. I think the two fan favorites to die will be Sam and Dean, but I also think that might be a relative term considering what we're dealing with this season.
the little boy/demon spawn, who is supposed to be the anti-Christ
So Sam is no longer considered to be the potential anti-Christ? (Or was that just in the tons of fanfic that I've read?) I know in actual Show he's been called The Boy King and something about a general, or leader of Azazel's army... was he ever actually referred to as the anti-Christ?
was he ever actually referred to as the anti-Christ?
Not that I remember. I think that was just a fandom thing.
It's not like the show really has two people available to get killed off and still have Bobby and Ellen survive.
If they kill off Bobby, I am going to be SO ANGRY. I will also be angry if they axe Ellen, but I am fiercely protective about Bobby.
According to Kripke at Comicon, the anti-Christ and Satan are two different entities.
If I'm not mistaken, I thought they had established that Lilith and Ruby were among the few demons aware of Azazel's end game. Based on that, I'm assuming the other demons thought Sam was only to serve as the anti-Christ/Boy King.
And perhaps it's a plot hole.
okay, so is Christ Himself going to show up?
In Ruby's first conversation with Sam (well, after saving his ass in the house - the conversation over fries) didn't she say something about him being the antiChrist? Or am I misremembering?
...if Christ Himself shows up, he'd better be a black guy. ijs. At this point, Show has A LOT of making up to do. (Personally, if I were Cas on a mission to find God, I'd be looking thoughtfully at Morgan Freeman. And maybe Obama.)
didn't she say something about him being the antiChrist?
Yes, you're right, however I'm chalking that whole scene up to her feeding into Sam's own assumptions about Azazel's plans for him.
I'll go for Morgan Freeman as God, or even Keb' Mo' since I love his music.
"Supernatural" source has confirmed that the ubiquitous and
From Mo Ryan's Column:
A Supernatural source has confirmed that the ubiquitous and talented Mark Sheppard (the actor who has his own Full Employment Act) will play a "pivotal" crossroads demon named Crowley in Episode 10 of the season. The episode is called "Abandon All Hope...," and it was written by Ben Edlund and will be directed by Phil Sgriccia. It's the final "Supernatural" episode of 2009 (the show will resume its fifth season with new episodes in 2010. More than a month without "Supernatural"? Say it ain't so!). The episode is "epic" and will "definitely ... have the fans on the edge of their seats going into the holiday 'hellatus,'" my source said.
