How soon is it? I want to be appropriately tense. I read a vague EW spoiler about something that doesn't sound like it's happening for a while, and, really, this discussion couldn't be more vague.

How many episodes were they covering in their "SOON"? Looked like at least three or four based on what I remember of episode synopses. I'm always surprised when they do that and they actually have an episode coming up in the next week. It's a pre-hiatus thingummy in my head.

Also, don't ask me why I slashed so/so.

They're the new Bert/Ernie.

No idea! I'm mostly unspoiled. I was spoiled for P-Hil, and I've seen some episode titles, and now I know the Shrift Spoiler, but that's about all.

Put it this way, it didn't look to me like it was included in the "Soon" promo, and I was watching for it because I was weak and read shrift's spoiler.

I think that Julie Siege wrote one of the Anna episodes last season.

She wrote: It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester; Criss Angel Is a Douchbag; and The Monster at the End of This Book.

I changed my mind about the poker playing guy from the promo. I don't think that makes sense.

I thought it was the Trickster for some reason.

I can't see them changing the actor now, though, because he's become a sort of recurring character.

But you never know.

They didn't. The original actor is credited at IMDB. The "Soon" covered three upcoming eps.

Also, Amy, I see now that you're right. I think that character in the poker game ties in with the Chad Everett sighting.
