I am – Hercules!!
The CW has given early renewals to five of its current series, namely “America’s Next Top Model” (its top show), “Vampire Diaries,” “Gossip Girl,” “90210” and “Supernatural.”
Not yet announced for next season: “Melrose Place,” “Smallville,” “Life Unexpected” and “One Tree Hill.”

THE CW ANNOUNCES EARLY PICKUPS FOR FIVE SERIES
Freshman Hit “The Vampire Diaries,” “Gossip Girl,” “90210,” “Supernatural” and “ America ’s Next Top Model” To Return Next Season
February 16, 2010 (Burbank, California) ─ The CW Network has given early pickups to five series for next season, including four signature dramas and the reality hit AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL. All five shows will return in Fall 2010.
The series receiving early renewals include this season’s breakout hit THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, The CW’s most-watched show (4.6 million viewers) and the network’s number one show among adults 18-34 (2.5/8). THE VAMPIRE DIARIES premiere generated the largest audience in network history for a series debut (5.7 million total viewers). THE VAMPIRE DIARIES has improved The CW’s performance Thursday at 8:00 p.m. by 114% among women 18-34 this season. The network also renewed fan favorite SUPERNATURAL, which will enter its sixth season next year. SUPERNATURAL has one of the most loyal audiences of any show on television and does heroic work in a perennially tough time period. It has improved over last season among women and adults 18-34 (29% and 8%, respectively) this season, a remarkable accomplishment for a fifth-year show.
Also given early pickups for next season are The CW’s Monday night sensation GOSSIP GIRL, which is The CW’s number one show among its target demographic of women 18-34, and Tuesday’s trend-setting drama, 90210, which sees some of TV’s largest percent increases from DVR playback, nearly doubling its women 18-34 live-only ratings once live+7 data is included. Wednesday anchor AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL will also be back for cycles 15 and 16 with superstar Tyra Banks and new groups of aspiring models. TOP MODEL continues to rank second in the competitive Wednesday 8:00 p.m. hour among young women 18-34 (3.4/10).

I will NEVER WATCH THE C.W.

you were too bad for far too long.
-
Let your warm hands break right through, or something.
-
The only way it doesn't is if Tom Welling has had enough.This show needs to get the rights for Bruce Wayne/Batman and Diana Prince/Wonder Woman so they can appear on the show. There is no Justice League of America without those two.Zatanna needs to be brought back as well. She can Hocus-Pocus me anytime.
-
tom welling has a 2 year deal, so he and the show will be back
no idea why they didnt just announce it now -
Going season to season is weak. The producers need to plan a final season and commit to it. Whether it ends up transitioning to 'Metropolis: The new(er) adventures of Lois and Clark' or with Clark putting on the suit - figure it out and commit. The series has picked up a bit of steam the last few years but it is still trading water and needs a plan other than getting through the season and hoping for a renewal. Go out on a high note under your own terms ala Lost.
-
More Supernatural! Only good show left on TV, reminds me of Buffy and Angel in their prime.
-
I'm suprised at this news as I was under the impression they were only going to do 5 seasons, I just hope this doesn't mean the show will turn to crap!
-
...good to hear bout Supernatural...becomin a big fan especially wit the angels and demons storyline (love angels and demons despite bein agnostic)...but I swear I hate lookin at Jareds waxed eyebrows...it really takes me out the story...and that VDay opening was so sick it was cool
-
I too am concerned whether or not Supernatural returning is a good thing. They clearly had planned on ending it this season for some time. I was getting worried when Kripke started recently to say that this would be the end of a "chapter" and not necessarily then end of the show. I worry that there isn't much more they can do after this season, but if they have a good idea of where it is going then I am all for it!
-
Not keen on continuing it past this season, not too many places you can go after God vs Satan.
-
...yea it would be hard to top God vs Satan...unless they say fuck you and make Sam the devil...we could call him UnSam or NonSam or Fsam...I dunno...
-
I mean which major Superman villian haven't they featured on Smallville? He's not even Superman yet, but he's gone through all the major baddies so far. Tom Welling has blown his superhero wad prematurely. By the time he's donned the tights and took his first flight, there's gonna be no supreme villians left to fight in that universe. And the fact that they've hinted at a Oliver/Chloe love storyline pretty much means they have no ideas left to mine from.
-
Absolutely awesome and totally unexpected news. Put aside Supernaturals ratings, Kripke has always floated the idea that they would only do five seasons. Now to be able to finish the epic story AND still have some bonus episodes is unbelievably cool. Now we can get those 8 episodes we lost in the writers strike back. Happy, Happy day.
-
Smallville has countless storylines to draw from. You're complaining how they're mining so much for the comics??? this is EXACTLY what people have been demanding out of the superman franshise forever. What, big bads come and go too quickly? a graphic novel has about as much story for an hour of a show...
-
innocent until proven guilty, as far as i'm concerned.
-
Season 6 of Supernatural is fine - as long as they do not alter their original 5 year plan to extend it another season. End the 5 season story and start something new.... and don't try to top Lucifer. Bigger and badder isn't always better.
-
Herc, i haven't read your opinion of the Justice Society Episode. We all know you watched it, so what were your thoughts? i have a feeling if you thought it sucked you would have at least alluded to that opinion, seeing as thats what you do all the time to what you don't like. I'm not saying that i demand you to admit you liked it--i just want your thoughts--good or bad. yeah, i may get on your case about other shows, but that's based on my perception of you not giving them a chance, but we all know you gave that smallville episode a chance, therefore you have every right in the world to tear it apart or admit it was surprisingly entertaining. Even if you hated it, i'd love to hear why. Again, you did all i would ask you to do: give a show a chance.
-
but a Ollie/Chloe love affair? Lame...
-
...no one wants to admit theyre happy bout GG and Vampire Diaries bein renewed? wheres all those Gilmore Girl girls at?
-
You can pretty much tank those statements to the bank. Although I hope to GOD that next year is the last year for Smallville, and seriously, can we get Clark to fly now? Hey, at least the show has been surprisingly good for the past couple years... for the first time ever.
-
One of the best damn shows on TV. So glad they're not going to have to rush the ending to this series!
-
Smallville is currently one of the longest running primetime shows. Any season that makes it past 7 deserves to be given advanced notice of its final season so the show can be completed. Not doing this would be suicide for The CW
-
Well,Kripke has said that if you go big, what you could do is go small for a sixth season...a stripped down sort of vision. Back to hunting and urban legends. I don't know what I want or how that would work, beyond knowing I want another season. I've been watching the show since 2005 and it makes me delighted to have it around just a little more. I have faith that they can invent a post end of the world plotline that doesn't feel like a let-down.
As a HELL YES, here's a fantastic, bloody video that I posted in the Zone thread, but what the heck, if you love the show you'll watch it again: http://tinyurl.com/yd94cb7

I don't think Supernatural ever planned on having only 5 seasons
by amy chasing
Sure alot of plotlines are coming to a point this season, but there's plenty more stories to tell about the fallout of this season. Personally I'd love it if Lucifer won in the season finale and so season 6 started with hell on earth, but they may not have the budget for that.
Anyway there's definitely gonna be alot of fallout from this season. The story's not finished. Be a shame not to make a show about it. -
It would be ironic if they canned Smallville after two really good episodes. Chloe is leaving after this season and they are hinting at Darksied. If they get canceled right before an all Superman season with building the JLA it would suck. Of course, we have been saying this since season 6 where they did a JLA episode and have done mostly nothing with it.
-
...how bout a baby Jesus? that seems like the most logical next step (unless they go wit aliens, cuz we all know god is a alien...ask the Sumerians and the movie Mission to Mars)
-
Bring on Alanis Morissette
-
i think thats a great idea. There was a miniseries, i think called 'revelations' a while ago that was disappointing because a major part of the plot was about this savior baby being born, and the miniseries ended with the baby being raised in a middle east desert/camp community or something, but we never saw the baby raised, and we never saw anyone protecting the baby as it grew, and (obviously) we never saw or were given information about how this baby was a savior... dean and sam protecting a baby savior themselves could make for epic and thrilling stories while showing a new side of the characters as they are fathers, and not just ordinary fathers, but fathers who are raising a savior and at the same time, they were raised by a distant father who taught them how to fight and kill, but a savior baby can't be raised that way. thing is, sam and dean don't know any other way. tons of potential. i meant to just post and agree with you, but as i got going i got pumped. i may even be let down by season 6 if this story isn't used.
-
your username and idea are thematically related. second time i've seen that on the talkbacks the last week.
-
chloe is essentially the same character as batman's 'oracle.' oracle had a love story with nightwing, so a green arrow/chloe relationship isn't too different from nightwing/oracle, which was a great relationship story in comics.
-
MOTHERFUCKING LOVECRAFT MONSTERS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION start to cross over with Earth's barriers weakened after Lucifer's shennanigans. SOMEBODY CALL THE ORDER OF THE TRIAD!
-
...at first I was jokin about it, just tryin to guess where else they could go after God vs Satan (ALIENS BABY!) but what you wrote would make great TV and great for the show esp wit what you were sayin wit the absent father part...and also "Ryan...I am your step daddy...it is true"...sorry, been wantin to say that line ever since I made this new name

There.
-
Stargate SG-1, X-Files and Babylon 5 - all of which became kinda crap after they finished their original story arcs - there's plenty more good post season 5 stories to tell.
-
From the Chicago Tribune, Mo Ryan wrote: 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."
-
While the show could have ended in season 8, I thought the Ori stuff produced some great episodes. There was lots of filler though, and if seasons 9 and 10 had been condensed into one it would have been a lot better. As for the X-Files... blech. Never made it all the way through B5, but I liked the show back in the day.
-
...then the whole series would end with the boys listening to a detailed monologue from Lucifer about our inevitable doom, then walking away from him right before he gets shot in the face by a freaking missile.
-
That's good news. Can't wait to see what they come up with, and I hope the show is as quality as ever.
-
Dammit, why do you have to remind me of the X Files ending ridiculousness. "Da aliens are coming in 2012. There's nothing we can do" THE END.
-
That shit would be EPIC.
-
thinking about it, i think it might be even more compelling if the savior was like a 16 year old with no idea how important he is... that also brings up the possibility that sam and dean don't tell him how important he is... knowing the showrunners, the kid would be introduced early in an episode that we think is more of a standalone, monster of the week episode and then half way in they drop the bombshell. i love that about the show. i may be thinking how an episode isn't going to be about the mythology and then it turns out it is, in a huge way. the perfect example of this was the supernatural novels which led to being about a prophet who the arch angels protect.
-
...what bout the Winchesters vs...OBAMA?!?! I mean, he is your anti-christ right? just fill your shotguns wit rock salt and you can be a extra!
-
We're happy with it. That's how you keep the peace. :) SN Season 6 is risky, but I can see it work. Hell, even if it's just stand alone episodes I would approve, they've gotten pretty good with those. But for the love of god, don't strech it out to 7. Make the last season a sort of epilogue. (Just like the first season is a flawed prologue.) And Slater I love that description. "Reimagined horror movies with Han and Luke + classic rock + americana."
-
We'd rather have 5 years of proven awesome consistent good viewing, which told a single epic storyline, than have the possibility of it ruined by a tacked on 6th year.
Shouldn't X-Files have known when to quit?
Shouldn't Millennium? Babylon 5? The Simpsons? Don't we kinda wish those shows had bowed out gracefully, rather than stay on past their welcome and tarnish the good storylines they once had? -
...Ill actually take shows overstaying its welcome rather watching crappy shows...if I invest in a character or show, Ill like to see it around a long time...wantin a good show to end on time is like askin your best friend to kill himself cuz he is no longer fun or cool since he got aids...just not cool
-
But I'll be honest, I grew attached to these characters and their lives suck so much right now, I wouldn't mind a few post apocalypse eps where they have some time to breath. When they're not under thist much pressure. They can both end the world with a sinle word. They are forced into this life with no way out. Would be interesting to see what would they do with their lives if they don't HAVE to be hunters. If they're not chosen anymore.
-
It never got the chance to end gracefully. It just got shit-canned. But I would add Buffy to the list. It went too long, and those last two years were largely a blight on mankind. Well, except the musical.
-
Now I'll have nightmares about this idea.
-
...who loved all of Buffy (cept S1, but thats cuz I generally dont enjoy S1 of any show)? I guess cuz it was I was a big fan of Spike...but I enjoyed all of Buffy
-
I prayed to Crom that it would return for another series. Got to say that Jensen Ackles is someone I'd love to go out for a beer or two with.
-
Yes, X-Files should most definitely had quit earlier. However, Chris Carter had little to no answers to all the questions raised throughout the series. It limped out leaving fans scratching their heads and furrowing their brows in a vain attempt to understand. I'm looking at you too RONALD D. MOORE. But I digress...Looks like SN has a plan and that's good for the fans who have invested their time in the series.
-
I don't think there were any "questions" left by X-Files. I mean, the finale spends literally half of its running time explaining the entire mythology in clear English and then... fails to wrap it up. It's not that they left fans "scratching their heads," because it was all laid clear along the way, it's that they completely failed to actually RESOLVE anything. It was "THIS IS THE ENTIRE MYTHOLOGY UP TO NOW ... AND THE WORLD WILL END IN 2012! ... AND... Uh... goodnight." *sigh*
-
I'm not worried that Season 6 will somehow be bad. Listen, everything about this show is so good, why would the producers, writers, directors, who have proven themselves to be TV geniuses, all of sudden go whack-o and lose their talents over night? It won't happen. They've made a great show & I trust that it will continue.
-
The show really wasn't confusing or unresolved. The problem was that Vince Gilligan and Chris Carter EXPLAINED THE ENTIRE MYTHOLOGY in Season 5 and 6 (and quite well imho). But sadly the show was bizarrely renewed for 3 more totally unneeded years, and left fans with a whacky ending that did make sense in the most nonsensible manner. You will all die in 2012 anyways and Mulder and Scully won't ride off in the sunset, and Agent Spender didn't really die. Ummmmmm. Ok?
-
I really want the show to end well, preferrably this year with an awesome Dean Versus Sam AKA Lucifer Versus Michael fight to the death. Please let S6 still be awesome, b/c Supernatural is the only good gothic horror show since X-Files is gone. :(
-
who thought the ending of X-Files was good? The final season had some bad eps, but Mulder and Scully realizing they're fucked no matter what they do and lying down and just holding each other was kind of elegant I thought. It gave you something to look forward to...until that last movie bombed and probably killed all chances of a final mythology film.
-
Hmm. Maybe I need to see it again. I watched up until the first episode of season 9 and then didn't tune in again until the last episode. I recall Skinner explaining some things but I really should revisit it.Come to think of it - you're right. I remember thinking then that I didn't really like the outcome. Plus there were some things they cleared up earlier that weren't very satisfactory to me - like the whole Samantha Mulder storyline and how she became starlights or something like that. And what about the bounty hunters and the black oil?
-
I also liked Starbuck's exit on BSG which everyone else seems to hate also.
-
Glad that Supernatural renewed, but genuinely surprised, has been great this year and as far as i knew they were winding up to a series finale this year, no ide if they will do that anymore and start next season anew with a new storyline or stretch the current storyline out another year - if they do, they better come up with some major mid-story to make things interesting or it will get stale very quickly.
Smallville, want it to come back, so hoping it does get renewed, though they need to start setting up the Superman storyline a lot more heavily, Clark NEEDS to start flying and WEARING HIS FREAKING GLASSES so he's not noticed when he eventually does become Supes! C'mon guys, you planted the seeds of it about 3 years ago and he's never worn them since!!! -
You are right on most grounds, but Carter & Spotnitz finished all the mythology up to Season 7 with Sein Un zeit/Closure. It made a lot of sense as a whole as to The X-Files Mythology until it got renewed for a further two more Seasons, which by then made the extended Mythology too contrived. I thought it was well done too in S5 in explaining the Mythology and FTF. Season 6-7 felt like clearing all the answers of the Mythology, but was still well done. Until the last two seasons. V'Shael is defintely correct though The X-Files should have quit a lot earlier saves tarnishing the good quality story lines of earlier seasons.
-
Was cut short in it's adolescence. They could have gone 3 more seasons with that brilliant show instead of continuing on with the trite X-Files.
-
shit talks season 2 of Millenium for being too interconnected when I thought it was easily the best season of the three. Glen Morgan and James Wong made Millenium amazing in season 2 but Chris Carter fired them and made season three which just kinda re hashed season 1.
-
Smallville has already been announced as returning or at least Welling. It shouldn't as I think it's going to end up staying too long at the party if you will. The show managed to survive four time slot changes and pulls in the numbers no matter where its placed, even on Friday nights.
The show has been decent for as long as its been on though.
"One Tree Hill?" Who the fuck watches that shit? Why? -
Never watched Supernatural, but I don't think this is the sort of thing the fans want to hear.
-
wouldnt that make 2 years in a row where a show airing Friday nights (which is considered to be the show-killer spot for any non-cable networks) got renewed? (after Dollhouse).
-
and when typing this, i almost did it again, must... resist... urge to... break... fingers. Or type like Shatner.
-
I have all 3 seasons's and yeah all 3 were very different in style.
The show kinda ended for me when Frank's wife died at the end of season 2.
But all in all it is still one of my all time favorites and I believe it was way ahead of it's time. -
It may have been cut short, but geez everyone died around Frank and his daughter, there was no one left. How much more of ending can you get, did they plan on going further with an ending like that?
-
Looks like the CW is still dead to me.
-
It's campy as hell, that's the hook, man. I shall turn in my man card later.
-
smallville has never been better,lex will be back next year
-
It guaruntees a toothless 5th season. If they knew this was the last one, the whole Sam vs Dean thing would have gone down with consequence. Now some shitty deus ex machina will go down and take all the weight out of it. And the problem is that the whole series is based upon the weight of that showdown.
-
that Hercules would be guaranteed to watch (and love) - an alternate reality with the Winchester sisters Deanna & Samantha, played by Eliza Dushku and Kristen Bell.
-
They're just sorting out some budgetary issues. They'll announce it separately and emphasise that it'll be the last season. Also, look for them to give it a better time slot.
-
Honestly I'm shocked it didn't occur to them yet to feature the New Gods in their human incarnations this year. Who doesn't think they'd pull off a Dark Side gangster character? Hell, that seemed tailor made for Smallivlle--it's too stupid for anything else! Also, Pam Grier as Amanda Waller? Terrible choice, should have been Lorena Gale from Battlestar Galactica.
-
Another year of slights and subtle insults. Gleeful reports of bad ratings.
Oh Herc! Such happy days ahead. -
and was sorry it was going to end w/Season 5. According to the producers & stars last year, they were all growing a bit tired & wanted to go out on top, unlike many popular genre shows in the past...so what the hell - no pun intended - changed? And how do you top the whole Angels vs. Demons War?!!! The only out I can see is that the final battle between Michael & Lucifer is supposed to take place five years in the future, right? How 'bout instead of rushing to a hasty conclusion this season, strech it through next year by having the final season be a flash-forward five years leading up to the final battle between Michael/Dean & Lucifer/Sam. Who will live?, who will die? And will the world ever be the same?!!!...or something like that. Better than going out w/a wimper by going back to hunting monster-of-the-week or some other such douchbagery.
-
Not a one. Didn't know Next Top Model was still producing new eps or that it was on the CW. My roommate watches the damn marathons of repeats on some cable channel every damn weekend. For some reason this lead me to believe it was done. *shrug* Anyway, I tried to get back into Smallville and failed. I might try again, but I doubt it.
-
Metropolis. But get him in the darn blue and red suit and in classes/suit/tie. Find a way. And find a way to get a guy named Bruce to stop by, too, plus a sequel to the JSA story with guys named Jay, Alan and Ted, thank you.
-
likes/watches Gossip Girl. Hell, our gay friends don't like it, either.
-
it's not Gilmore Girls tho. That was a top quality Chick Show.
-
http://bit.ly/9fssBL
-
They started as a high school show, but when their viewers grew up they just kept repeating the same story season after season. The last 2 years they seem to have realized that someone who was 16 in 2001 is now 25 and they need to reflect that in the show. And their Zatanna is smokin hot. She should be on more.
-
Who can complain about that? They need to do a crossover episode with Mulder and Scully.
-
You one smart guy. Cthulu. Oh yes. I want this. Sam and Dean face off against the ancient ones. Oh yes.
-
damn it that show was great.
-
Supernatural kicks the ass out of X-files, at least when Supernatural knew it's storyline was not going to last at the end of season 2 they ended it and started another one instead of stretching it out year after year until we were left with no resolution (WTF chris Carter - you get to make another movie after a decade of stretchig the story and make 'i want to sleep' er, i mean 'believe' and leave everyone hanging?! - Dipshit!), and besides, Supernatural is WB, X-files is Fox, never going to happen.
-
I have tried to stay positive, but this is pretty bad news. the end of the story will be neutered, end there's no kripke to fight the cws bullshit next season. romantic subplots and contemporary musib ahoy!
-
It's not so bad, she wrote some of the best, most soul crushing eps. Jus in Bello, The Song remains the same etc. So I may have reacted like an idiot fanboy.
-
"The CW - because we're working hard, to make sure nobody's watching"
-
If done right, that kinda thing can work. Red Dwarf did it once. Lister sleot with himself and the Cat's opposite was a dog.
Best way to do it would be to keep them as the same character (so the female dean is still a drunken fighting eating sex crazed person, and sam is still broody and uptight.But dont have the real dean and sam in it at all...use someone like Bobby Singer as the main character . Its the kind of amusing stand alone episode that Supernatural usually does well. -
Because honestly, this entire showdown between Michael/Dean and Lucifer/Sam is an epic storyline that's spent 4.5 seasons in the making. Everything's led up to this final point, and once it's reached. . .what's next?
I can't imagine Kripke going bigger than Heaven vs. Hell unless its with Cthulu and the Elder Gods, but it would feel rushed and silly, compared to the storyline that's been marinating/developing for 5 seasons. And if they went smaller. . .well, I'm just envisioning the bad monster of the week episodes from S1.I just hope Kripke and the other writers can make a S6 of Supernatural work. -
A fellow Supernatural watcher over on the CHUD message board for Supernatural in the television section was the one who I first saw mention the idea of season 6 being a battle with the Ancient Ones. I will, however, continue to champion that idea because I think it would be really damn cool to see them taking on nasties like Cthulhu. Monsters that even the demons on the show find dispicable.
-
The general public learns about the existence of ghosts, monsters, vampires, skinwalkers, demons, etc.... How would THAT shit play out? Actually, this would be a dumb idea (unless it's only a one and done episode).
-
The yellow eyed demon was around for more than one season, as was Lilith. I think it's fair to say the daddy of them all is going to be sticking around for a whiles longer than just Season 5. I think it will end with each of them saying yes, and Satan in Sam's body for the first few episodes of Season 6 at least. Kripke said he had an idea for a season 6 story line so I'm not worried at all, even if he isn't showrunner I'm sure they will follow whatever path he has laid out for a sixth season. And I'm sure many of the quality writers on the show will be remaining on the payroll.
-
I mean, is there any other show that the CW has that actually goes up in the ratings on a Friday night halfway through the season? They finally find a stable Friday night performer and now it's on the bubble? Ridiculous.
Oh, and AngYangBluth, there are still plenty of Superman villains to be featured on SMALLVILLE -- Mongul, the Atomic Skull, Conduit, the Cyborg Superman, the Eradicator, Neutron, Solomon Grundy, the Ultra-Humanite, Ultraman, etc. Hell, we haven't even seen Darkseid yet, so there's definitely enough gas in the tank for at least one more season. Besides, with the way they've been incorporating other elements of the DC Universe in recent years, they can dip into just about any rogues gallery that isn't already tied up elsewhere in movie production rights.

How do I know? Because shows like Jericho and Firefly get cancelled, but Vampire Diaries gets renewed. If god really cared about his creation, this would never happen.
-
The apocalypses is warped this season and the next the brothers are persecuted for the furies for breaking the seals, while searching for a way to be free of them they hunt, could work as a epilogue.

....would still be miles better than most shite on the telly at the moment.

Supernatural usually takes 2 seasons to kill of the big bad..
by freebeer
Think it will be the same with this, think we won't see the boys beat Satan till end of season 6. Or if they do off him at the end of the current season, maybe it will go in the same direction as Angel was supposed to go in Season Six. Apparently, after unleashing hell and WINNING, the Powers That Be were to become the Big Bad's in Season 6 to restore the balance. Perhaps when the boys defeat Satan, God himself becomes the antagonist. After all, people are asking how you can top Satan. Who else but God is up to the task?

nuff said.

it's been a long haul, but this season has been pretty darn good. I loved the moment at the end of last week's episode with Chloe and Oliver and the bow. Very sexy, nice metaphor. And the stuff about fantasy, costumes, and ideals was actually pretty smart. Love how they're leading up to creating the Superman persona. It's more than just flights and tights. Absolute Justice was a geekgasm, and I can't wait to see how they make him Supes.
-
Congrats to Supernatural, I'm happy I'll get to see at least another season of the show. Wow, who would have ever thought over 5 years ago that Supernatural would have lasted longer than Angel did.
-
far have failed to be impressed. Waste of time, in my opinion. Hope it gets better by the end.
-
Hated seeing Angel cancelled, but glad that Supernatural has been a pretty damn good show. I still like Angel better, its cast of characters was much more robust and it had probably THE best character arc of all time (Wes) but I'm amazed that SN has been able to become one of my favorite genre shows. Glad its been able to stay around this long and stay this good.

Seriously. If you didn't enjoy it by now, (mid way through season 3, from what you're saying) it's not going to appeal to you.
But hey, you gave it more than a fair shot, which is more than many have done. -
Sure, most shows are in repeats, is that why no ratings recap? Or because NBC is beating everything with its Olympics coverage, despite Ebersol calling O'brien "gutless".
-
..Well, then stop wasting your time buddy
-
AnYangBluth, not your cup of tea. more power to you. kudos for not being a bitch about it and rant on and on about how over rated it is and how it sucks without mentioning a single specific point to back up your dislike. There's a line, you're on the sane side and Fareal is on the idiot douchebag know-nothing side.

One suggestion for an upcoming "Supernatural" episode and this hasn't been done before. The Winchester brothers fight a demonic rock'n'roll band whose music actually drives fans to murder and suicide. Remember the urban legend from the 1970s that KISS stood for "Knights in Satan's Service"?
-
This would occur at a Battle of the Bands. The neat twist is that the heavy metal band is the original suspect but it turns out that the sappy love song singer (think Michael Bolton, etc.) is the actual demon. The boys have to kill it by performing their own godawful music.
-
Dunno what happened there
I was going to say that, regarding the suggestions about S&D looking after the reborn baby Jesus, they do actually have a teenage Antichrist on their hands though admittedly he fucked off willingly
Can't imagine that's the end of that storyline though -
" It has improved over last season among women and adults"
Made me laugh -
Surprised. It is. I've watched a couple of episode and it's the best written show on that network. I'm also surprised that Vampire Dairies isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It takes time but it will grow on you. Supernatural is starting to gasp for air but it's still worth watching. Another season of Smallville would be great. I want a balls out 10th season filled with the JLA vs. TLoD

I read some really great ideas above on how they can finish off season 5 and do a season 6. First off, there are countless urban legends and interesting ghost stories to be told, so weekly plot-lines for season 6 and beyond shouldn't ever be a problem. The issue is the over-arcing storyline that started in season one with Sam and Dean and their apparent fated roles to be the vessel for Lucifer and Michael. I think it's true that it takes the writers about two seasons to kill off a big baddy (Yellow-eyed Demon - season 1/2 and Lilith - season 3/4), so I don't see Lucifer as being any different. The great thing about SN writing is that they do finish off major storylines every season and end with a twist, launching the following season into another fantastic direction. I don't remember all the plotlines clearly, but I believe season 1 was about finding their dad (they succeeded, but lost him again and their dad goes to hell), season 2 was about hunting the Yellow-eyed Demon (Dean succeeds in killing him with the Colt), season 3 was trying to save Dean from going to hell (they failed, but Castiel brings him back to life), season 4 was trying to prevent Lilith from breaking the 66 seals (they failed again and Lucifer is released and the Apocalyse begins), and finally, season 5 is about stopping Lucifer and saving the world from the Apocalyse. Seems like the build up is with both Sam and Dean saying yes, and like another poster above me, maybe that's the ending. And perhaps, the twist is that God finally makes himself known in some way and "stops" them ... hopefully, not in human form ... a little too Michael Landon for me. I don't think I've ever seen anyone play God well except for maybe Morgan Freeman. Perhaps season 6 can be about how they will throw Lucifer back to hell cause I really don't think he can ever be killed, and postpone the end of the world because, I'm no theologian, but I think paradise is after Revelations and that doesn't make for a very interesting show. Frankly, I have no idea how they will end it and start season 6. They always seem to have an uncanny and clever way of figuring it out. I hope they keep it up. Love this show! :)

I just hope that Sam doesn't get clean by bleeding and drinking
by james_o'nasty
I hope that they won't go that route cos it would be far too easy...
Deus ex Machina was mentioned earlier and that would be a cop-out of the first degree. -
but count me in as being worried about its return. Next season will probably be its last no matter what. I kind of hope they transition back to what the first season was like. Be a nice bookend for the series.

God could remove his 'grace' (if he has any left) like Anna, and make him human. He could then in theory be killed, or forced by god to suffer by living out a mortal life on earth.
