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.
Yeah... That went well.

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?

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.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
This fanwork is one of the more intriguing ideas I've seen in a while - an old-fashioned lullaby based in hunter tradition.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
sumi, you may have already seen these clips, but I watched them and could understand it really well.
This user had panels from SPN, Dollhouse (Tahmoh is too darling for words), Torchwood and Doctor Who. Jackpot! I only saw a few seconds of the Dollhouse panel other than SPN so I can't vouch for quality and I can only assume all are full of some degree of spoilers.
SPN is spoilery for next season. Nothing major that would make you go OMFGPolarBear! but still any promotion at this point is going to qualify as spoilery. Thought I would offer that warning to anyone else clicking the link. To their credit, they are pretty careful about not letting important info out and the humor is totally worth it. I think the biggest spoilers mentioned are casting or not casting people.
