Okay--I asked Colin if Misha was going to be appearing in season 9, and that's not the answer I'm giving here--the bonus part to the answer was, apparently he'll be directing.

Not sure if he means this season or next, but apparently there will be Misha-directing in our future...how cool!

And...going for the triple...I was bitching to Colin about him not knowing when his next appearance in whatever was going to air, so when I saw that my TiVo had recorded something (ancient) with him in it, I hit play instead of delete like I normally do.

He's worked with Ty Olsson! 11 years ago, he did an Outer Limits with Benny. Ty was an orderly to Colin's doctor.

It's not like I can watch the whole thing--it's mega cheesy, but I did just have to get to a scene with them together.

Aw! I really like Ty -- he seems like a good guy (based ... solely on his Twitter account, I guess) and he is totally my type.

I'm still trying to believe we get another season. More boys! So happy.

I'd like to think Misha will direct an Edlund episode, because then the stars would probably align in new ways and we'd all have a giant fangasm.

Misha posted on FB that SPN officially has another season. Has anyone seen it official official anywhere else?

I'm trying to work out how to say this not particularly plot-informative thing without breaking the rules but bringing it to the attention of the people who might care.

So...I will cast a wide net. if you like animals, maybe you haven't set seen the offscreen shot of Jensen and Jared in a stable, with horses here: [link]

I just saw this gifset, which kind of encapsulates why I think feeling the story out as you go along (rather than trying to place all the big pieces ahead of time) can work out very elegantly: [link] There's no way that they knew what the fifth season finale would hinge on when they wrote the third episode, but they ended up with a really charming serendipitous small throughline.

Has anyone seen it official official anywhere else?

How official does it need to be? I mean, Colin already knew (he's so badly trained when it comes to telling me shit, and I am too nice to badger) when I asked him about Cas in S9.

BOYS.

Is a Press Release official enough?

Ok, gotcha.

Sorry, I misread earlier posts as being still in the rumored realm.

I think I'm going to rewatch the last episode.

Is Season 10 a possibility?

And all I can think is, "Look how short Sam's hair is!"
