Sam died, right on camera, right on my screen. How do you fix dead?

Well, it depends on which 'verse you're in...

Stephen said Sam will be back when Dean kills YED, but if that's true then everyone the demon ever killed would come back.

Also, it sounds very much like YED told all of them that they were the chosen one, doesn't it? Jake certainly thought so. Ava, too. Or did I get that wrong?

Why have they not announced renewing this damn show yet? I'ma gonna crawl into the tv and choke a bitch.

It's possible I'm a little emotional right now.

Fuck you, Kripke, it's my birthday! You don't get to kill Sam on my birthday!

Also, why do I have a nasty feeling that there are two versions of next week's ep in the can?

OMG, don't SAY that.

When will the schedule be announced? We already know Gilmore Girls has been cancelled, so is that good news for Supernatural, i.e. they didn't get the same memo already?

I wish I could stay up and see the West Coast watch and post, but I'm going to bed and dream about happy Sam and Dean thoughts.

I'm pretty sure you're right on that, AmyLiz. Especially since Ava had been top bitch dog for the last five months.

I wish I could stay up and see the West Coast watch and post,

Don't worry. You'll wake up because you'll hear Plei screaming.

You'll wake up because you'll hear Plei screaming.

Good lord. Someone call her and tell her to have a drink before she starts watching.

Now that I can breathe again, I do have to say that for a moment there, I honestly thought Sam was going to bash Jake's head in.

(In retrospect, he damned well should have, but at the time I was quite proud of him for not giving in.)

Word. Sam is just too good for his own good. I'm surprised the YED hasn't figured that out. Or, he's counting on it, that when Sam presumably does turn to the dark side it will be with much more fervor and cunning than anyone else. Only, dead, now.

Regarding the renewal situation -- someone (Digitalwave) on livejournal posted the following unofficial information:

You know we help put on a model and toy convention here every year, WonderFest. It's much more than that, lots of neat guests, behind the scenes special effect artist guests, wonderful art guests. You should take a look at the home page sometime and those of you near us should consider going.

Anyway, I helped Lee with finishing up the press kits for all the local tv stations, the newspaper and the Clear Channel radio stations last night. Today was my day off so Suzie, Mom and I went around and delivered them all. Our local CW affiliate was our last stop. The marketing guy there is really sweet, he comes to the show every year. I asked him point blank about Supernatural. I figured what the heck, it couldn't hurt. He told me that while the info hasn't been released yet to the public it has definitely been RENEWED!!! So, straight from the horse's mouth, our show is renewed and will be back next year. He says for a full 22 episode order!

So, for what it's worth....I don't know who Digitalwave is, so I don't know exactly how reliable this is, but right now I'm needing all the positive vibes I can gather.

And Kristin on E!Online said

Well, nothing on the CW (except for Top Model and Smallville) is a sure thing at this point, but I can tell you that inside sources are whispering that Supernatural is safe! Word is execs are happy with it creatively and feel they should stick with their solid Thursday night lineup next season.

So I'm going to cuddle all that to my chest and go drink some tea. Or maybe some cocoa. And try to stop whimpering.
