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.

From Ask Ausiello:

Question: Can you tell me anything about Supernatural‘s new season? —Bryan

Ausiello: I can’t be certain, but I think I just uncovered a significant clue about the overriding plot of season 6: Sources confirm to me exclusively that X-Files vet Mitch Pileggi is in talks to reprise his role as Sam and Dean’s presumed-dead grandpa on a potentially recurring basis.

From SFX Magazine issue #198: "There's also been talk in the writers' room about how to bring The Trickster (Archangel Gabriel) back."

EEEEE!!!!

Well, given his track record for faking his own death, it wouldn't be THAT much of a stretch.

Yeah, I could easily see "Oh, Lucifer killed the pet parakeet of one of those hotel guests shifted into my shape. I stowed away in my image on Sam's laptop and laid low until all the fireworks were over."

If Castiel can be brought back for choosing the right path, why not Gabriel, I say.

Here, here!

Or is it, hear, hear!

In any case - bring on Gabriel!!

Hmmm. Gabriel's powerful enough to travel through time, so theoretically he could show up again and be his pre-"Hammer of the Gods" self skipping forward a year or more.

Hell, why not? Shouldn't be that difficult to write Gabriel back in given all the plot devices they have available.
