Offtopic, Smallville's still on the bubble?
Stands to reason that what it would take to kill it off is a two-hour event of uncharacteristic high quality.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Mo Ryan on whether Kripke will be back:
UPDATE 2: I sent a note to "Supernatural" executive producer Sera Gamble when I heard about the show's renewal for a sixth season. I said I was happy to hear that the show would be returning, but I had to be a little cheeky and ask if viewers would be getting "The Apocalypse 2: The Squeakquel" next season. Here's her response:
"No, you will not be getting Apocalypse, The Squeaquel in Season 6 (that's hilarious)," Gamble wrote. "We're climaxing that story this season. We've been working on the Season 6 storyline for quite some time, and we're very excited about it. We have lots of ideas, and are grateful for the chance to keep the show going.
"Please tell the fans that the writers say thank you! We so appreciate the support."
Remember when Kripke said he had a five-year plan for the show? However, as he said last summer at Comic-Con, Kripke has re-thought that plan and has stated various times in the last year or so that he could see how the Winchesters' story might last longer than five years. And based on Gamble's comments, it's looking like we'll get a whole new story line when the Winchester return in the fall of 2010.
So, my fellow "Supernatural" fans, the Winchester chronicles will get a Season 666. Wait, I meant Season 6 -- my fingers slipped on the keyboard. Or maybe the Devil made me do it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder if Ausiello reads the press releases and then gets deliberately coy, or he actually has a scoop ahead of them. Because I tend to believe Futon Critic without reservation, because they...dunno...cite.

Yeah, the Futon Critic just gives us the Press Release and doesn't play little games.

And Mo Ryan quotes actual people.

Now Ausiello is reporting Kripke has stepped down as showrunner, but will remain involved. Sera gets the nod, he says.

Because books.
Crapsticks. I love Sera, but. I guess we'll see.

Honestly, I think she'll do great with it. She occasionally drives me BATSHIT as a writer, but I think her *story* instincts are good.
