Consuela, I'm betting flashback, or possibly some sort of "Five People I Met in Hell" thing they could do with Dean.
Otherwise, my thoughts are very much in alignment with yours.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Here's the question I have:
their budget was dicey last year and they couldn't afford some regulars, so what's with new grandpa now? I hope he's mom's dad.

I also think Kripke's playing fast and loose with ages. MP might be old enough to be JDM's dad--but I seriously doubt he's old enough to be John's dad. John's 53 when he dies, so if MP is playing John's dad, he's gotta be well into his 70s, and he's so not. And Mary and John were pretty much of an age, too. This doesn't work.

Suela, I'm thinking Anne may have the right of it.
(And, hey! He could just be very well preserved. Or, you know, maybe a ghost. Or something. I also suspect John's dad instead of Mary's. But mostly, MP!!! MP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Ooo. Hey, can we also get Nic Lea? As some, umm. Smarmy one-handed evil hunter? Or something? What?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, are we sure that
MP is playing the *real* grandfather? Maybe he is actually a demon who isn't really the grandfather.

Well, really there is that whole connection between Kripke and other SPN writer/producer guys and the X-Files. It is in many ways not surprising. I think - flashback for Grandpa. Why John's dad?
I mean, aren't we supposed to be getting more of Mary's story this year? It makes more sense to me that he's Mary's dad.

Broke down and read the whitefont, for lo I am weak... what if he portrays the grandfather in flashback? Then the age isn't so much an issue. Also, given the context, he could be dead.

Yeah, okay, if it's flashbacks then the ages are less of an issue.
I suspect I may just be looking for reasons to be grumpy because my Summergen story is being DIFFICULT. ARgh.

I've found stuff from Comic-Con up on youtube - but the sound is just horrible and I'm having difficulty understanding what people are saying. (So, kind of pointless.)
And I got a message from a friend that blu ray season 3 dvds are up for pre-order at amazon. (They're $55 and change with Amazon's discount.)
