Supernatural Station

According to Matt Mitovich of TVGuide.com, Jake Abel has been cast to play the role of 18-year old Adam Milligan in an upcoming episode of Supernatural. No big deal, right?…Wrong! This young man will be revealed as none other than…  Sam and Dean's half-brother! Yes, you read that right. There is a third Winchester brother! Apparently Adam is the product of a brief affair during one of John's hunts. …spoiler content hidden. Please click on the post link to view full article

The episode where Adam appears is scheduled for April 23 and is titled, “Jump the Shark”, which in TV slang is a turning point where a once great show goes downhill. There is speculation that this title means that the third brother won't really be a Winchester after all. However, TVGuide.com reported that John knew about Adam and even visited him occasionally, though he kept Adam's existence secret from his other sons. That sounds very much like John to me. This, plus Jake's “Winchester” hotness and the seeming cast prerequisite of a “J” first name initial (see Jensen,Jared,Jeffrey,Jim) makes the claim of him being a third brother very real.

In other spoiler news…

The violent confrontation between Sam and Dean that occured in season's 4, “Sex & Violence” is not the only fight that we will see between the brothers. Michael Ausiello of EW.com has revealed that the final episode of season 4 will have the two Winchesters going head-to-head in an all out battle that will make their previous fight look tame in comparison.

Sad news. Kim Manners, one of Supernatural's standout directors passed away on Sunday, January 25, 2009 after a battle with lung cancer.

Kim Manners was director and executive producer of Supernatural and had been with the show since it's first season. He directed some of the most memorable episodes, including my favorites, Shadow, Devil's Trap, Mystery Spot and season four's Lazarus Rising. He also had a long and impressive career behind the scenes in the television industry, directing such notable shows as the X-Files and the original Charlie's Angels. Supernatural was fortunate to have this experienced and talented man for four great seasons.

Goodbye Kim. You will be sorely missed.  *sniff*

If you are as depressed as I am that Supernatural did not win the People's Choice award, here is some news that will shock you out of your doldrums….Kristen of E!Online has revealed a Supernatural rumor/spoiler that is a stunner. I actually gasped out loud when I read the news. Spoiler content hidden. Click on post title to view full article. A third Winchester brother may appear on the series, though the actor has not been cast. Many fans are reacting negatively to this news, but I actually like the idea. It would mean quite a change for the show and that's not necessarily a bad thing. As for possible cast…Kripke, if you read this, I think that Nathan Fillion (Firefly/Dr. Horrible) would make an awesome older Winchester brother from a previous marriage of John. He has the height, rugged good looks, and humor to be an ideal Winchester. I know he's probably unavailable and the CW probably would never give Supernatural the budget to pay his salary, but a girl can still wish. Here is the article about this “spoiler”.

A couple spoilery tidbits about Supernatural was published over the past week that may be of special interest to fans.

The first is a holiday gift/promo video of the first 3 new episodes of 2009 that was released by the editors of Supernatural. The best of the 3 was last and is a can't miss for Dean fans. Hehehe…it was inevitable that Dean's “I don't do shorts” quip (from 1×02-Wendigo) would come back to haunt him and he'd end up with his knees bared. You can read about this “gift” at TVaddict.com or just view the video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gFeQRECRqM.

The second spoiler comes from a recent interview with Misha Collins. In his interview, Misha revealed that because of the overwhelmingly positive reaction of fans to his character, (more…)
