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

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Because books.

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.

Seeing as how I still prefer to pretend seasons 6 and 7 of Buffy just never happened, this news does not encourage me. But I don't know how she rates as a producer/show runner... I just looked at imdb to check out which episodes she wrote (because I can't always recall off the top of my head):
Dead In the Water
Faith
Nightmare
Salvation
Bloodlust
Crossroad Blues
Houses of the Holy
Heart
All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1
Fresh Blood
Dream a Little Dream of Me
Jus In Bello
Time Is On My Side
Are You There God? It's Me...Dean Winchester
I Know What You Did Last Summer
It's a Terrible Life
When the Levee Breaks
Good God, Y'All
The Curious Case of Dean Winchester
The Song Remains the Same
There's some really good stuff there. If she can be protective towards the characters and storylines, that would help. (/residual Buffy bitterness)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm gonna stay optimistic on this one. I do really really like some of those episodes you've listed.
Think maybe she could go all grrl power?

Oh, I'm always optimistic. And I do love Sera. But it feels a little like letting someone finish your novel for you. Which, even if it's another fantastic writer, it's ... just not the same?
But I'll be watching, either way.

Well, Kripke only had five seasons in his head, so he's going to finish his novel, and Gamble gets to write the official sequel.

He might not have had a detailed S6 in his head, but Sera made it sound like S6 has been up for discussion this whole time. He may have more of his hands in it than an official sequel implies.

Total non-sequitor, but I had the weirdest dream last night that Jim Beaver was one of our Independent Learning instructors for online classes at UW. He taught English (not too surprising, he's written a book.)
IOactualSPNN, I'm hoping with a female show runner we just might get a more robust treatment of women. Some who actually stay around for a while. They don't have to get involved with the boys, they just have to be there regularly. Please?

One more season is more like an epilogue than a sequel, though.

True. If that's all we get. Which I'm okay with. But if the show keeps doing well, I imagine they'll try to turn it into Smallville.
