Angelus ,'Damage'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Something just occurred to me. How, exactly, did Gordon get word that Bela would know where the Winchesters were while he was stuck in prison?
We know he'd been in contact with Kubrick during the timeframe that Bela and the Winchesters were first interacting. Seems like less of a logic leap than some they've made.
I just don't see Bela advertising the fact that she and they had collaborated. Nor Dean and Sam, given how poorly they came out in the first encounter.
Following Supernatural requires a great deal of handwavium.
I've watched the Stargates for years. I have well developed handwavium muscles.
It helps to have a source of unobtainium. Enhances the handwavium.
From Watch with Kristen re: SPN and the strike:
Supernatural boss Eric Kripke told me: "If the strike ends by mid-February, we could probably still gear up and get two or three episodes done. If it ends tomorrow, which it won't, we could do three or four. With any luck, the strike will be over in time for us to bang out a couple more."

Hey, that's better than what Bryan Fuller says about Pushing Daisies - take heart.
"If the strike ends by mid-February, we could probably still gear up and get two or three episodes done. If it ends tomorrow, which it won't, we could do three or four. With any luck, the strike will be over in time for us to bang out a couple more."
I am hearing this in my head, and then I am hearing everybody who has to actually do tuff on a set groaning and sticking pins into a tiny Eric Kripke doll.
(The pins make noise. I don't know how.)
Do the pins themselves make noise? Or does the Kripkedoll make little noises as the pins go in? Inquiring minds wonder.
One possible way ahead I've heard is that productions would gear up and crank out as many eps as possible through June, rather than the usual through April, and have eps in the hopper ready to go in the fall, after hiatus. Ordinarily hiatus could be pushed back, but this year SGA is scheduled to strike in June, so...NSM with the filming ahead. Of course if the actors' demands are met, there wouldn't be a need for a strike, and filming might proceed. It's still wait and see.
Also, all those BTL workers have been released, and at least some of them have gone off to find other employment. Hiring more, competent, people at short notice may not be all that easy.
Any way you slice it, it looks like arc-y shows like SPN won't have an arc resolution this season. Which sucks. And also plays merry hell with DVD release. Not to mention the upfront charge on unbox or iTunes season passes--which may or may not transfer, per ep, to another show or another season. On the other hand, with no pilot season and no new fodder for networks to gamble on, they're going to be holding tight to the series they already have in production. Which pretty much guarantees us a S4 SPN. Whether it's a longer season, i.e., more than the usual 22 eps, with a single, more slowly developing arc, or the planned S3 arc AND a shortened S4, is anybody's guess. Well, maybe Kripke has an idea.
