The emotions at the house have been running high as we slip into the month of October. All the new television shows are premiering and our old favorites are finally coming back including Supernatural. I understand that television shows can't be in production all year round and the actors and other staff need a break from working seven days a week. I don't know if things have changed, but I don't remember so many breaks between episodes.
It's only a few weeks until the season opener of Supernatural breaks onto the television screen, and we're finally able to see the Winchester brothers once again. It's been a crazy ride and with the disappointment of season 7 behind us, we're ready to start anew.
The CW PR machine has been put into overdrive to help the show compete with the other shows that are coming out this fall. Supernatural has a lot of competition, but it's luckily no longer going against Grimm. While the shows are different, they are aligned enough to share many of the same viewers.
October 3 is only a few weeks away and WB has provided us with a little more information about Supernatural season 8 and the mysterious Benny. It's no secret that Dean is going to start out the season already busted out and looking for Sam.
For the past year, Sam's put his hunting ways behind him and is trying to lead a normal life, including a girlfriend. When Dean comes into the picture, Sam drops everything to get back into the life and find Kevin, the prophet who was captured by Crowley at the end of last season. Kevin has escaped and the brothers are trying to find him before the demons do.
With the new Supernatural season beginning next month, the network just unveiled the first preview showing Dean and Sam together and the premise for the new season.
The prophet of God returns, hiding out in a church, apparently free from Crowley and he's not too happy about that. Mystery still surrounds the whereabouts and motivations of Castiel, who was also trapped in Purgatory with Dean.
As I have surmised before, this season revolves around demons and Crowley. The Leviathans were defeated using information from a tablet, which is the word of God. There are other tablets hidden around the world and the Prophet knows where one can be found. Unlike the other, which dealt with Leviathans, this one deals with demons.
With a little more than a month to go until the new season of Supernatural, eyes are focused on Jeremy Carver and the changes we're hoping he makes. For anyone that hasn't kept track of the revolving door of show runners, Carver is returning after a hiatus producing the Syfy show Being Human.
He's replacing Sera Gamble, who pretty much ruined season 7 with overdeveloped plots, episodes that didn't go anywhere and a Big Bad that was about as threatening as a puppy. Even Carver has admitted that the season was more than a little convoluted and got caught up in its own mythology.
