More generic Supernatural spoiler stuff:

Just in case you were wondering, the season finale is the climax of the apocalypse storyline, despite the fact that there's a sixth season. And we'll see lots of Lucifer and Michael — but we'll also get to know Sam and Dean better, and see the things that shaped them into heroes.

Backstory! Yummy!

Apparently Allison Mack will no longer be a regular in the last season of Smallville: [link]

Both Misha Collins and Jim Beaver will be back. YES! Some spoilers here: [link]

There has been speculation of time passing as we head into S6, and some of the spoilers seem to indicate that as well. I wonder if Sam's appearance under the street lamp (after we see Dean tossing a roll to Ben through the window) is set at that future time.

Leonard Nimoy suggests that William Bell might not be dead. I guess he retires like Magic Johnson.

That so works for me!

ha!

that works for me too.

Matthew Weiner talks about Mad Men S4.

The only real spoiler is that there will be a gap in time between the end of last season and the upcoming season. So we won't see the new firm getting up to speed; it'll be in place. The other oblique hint about pop culture suggests (to me) that he's going to advance it more than a year, maybe more. I think he wants to move into the mid-sixties now. Which is fine by me, since I love mid-sixties mod. I bet they have a London based show for their get-out-of-NYC episode.

Advertising in London was intimately tied with the Pop Art movement. I have a sneaking suspicion that by the end of this season Pete will be combing his hair forward in a somewhat Beatle-esque fashion to much derision from his cohorts. (Think Robert Morse's hair in How To Succeed in Business.)

The only real spoiler is that there will be a gap in time between the end of last season and the upcoming season.

Not much of a spoiler, since they've done that every season.

Well, it's two years between S1 and S2, but it's only about 9 months between S2 and S3.

To me the first jump is much more significant in showing a changed era than the latter.

So I think Weiner will make a bigger jump, partly because I think he's ready to tackle the mid-sixties and partly because I think he wants to cover the whole decade and early 70s in six seasons.

Russell Crowe is The Equalizer: [link]

This seems to be saying it's a remake of the series. But I am a little unsure if it's being remade as a movie, but that's what I'm assuming.

This could be interesting...but Crowe's no Edward Woodward.
