Supernatural: “Abandon All Hope”
Air Date: November 19 on The CW
SAM AND DEAN FACE OFF AGAINST LUCIFER

Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Castiel (Misha Collins) track down the Colt and head off to find Lucifer (guest star Mark Pelligreno) to send him back to Hell.  It’s a hunters’ reunion when the crew joins forces with Bobby (Jim Beaver), Ellen (guest star Samantha Ferris) and Jo (guest star Alona Tal) for what could be their last night on Earth.  Phil Sgriccia directed the episode written by Ben Edlund (#510).

The CW has released two more clips from this week’s episode of Superantural, Abandon All Hope. Love the feel of these, not crazy about some of the guest stars, and wow – there’s a storm brewing – for real.

The first quarter of the new TV season is coming to a close. With their biggest episodes running this month for sweeps, we can now look forward to weeks of reruns for the rest of 09.
But before they go, here’s a quick look at where I stand with the current crop of futuristic, non-realistic, ghostly, ghastly, makes-you-wonder, shows on TV.
V: The Series

We’re only a few episodes in but I’m into V for the long haul (which means waiting until Spring of 2010 for the second half of the season.) I’m enjoying the pace of the reveals, I like the characters …read more

There’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news is we have a first look video for this week’s episode of Supernatural called “Abandon All Hope. ” There’s more good news in that it stars Mark Sheppard as the deliciously evil Crowley. That’s not Mark in the photo there. He wasn’t in any of the promo photos for this episode but Dean’s looking right at him, so that’s something. . . huh?
You may know Mark from his recurring role as Sterling, Nate’s biggest foil on Leverage, which is already a six-degrees-of-Supernatural because of Aldis Hodge and Chris Kane. Mark …read more

I know last week I said, In Kripke I Trust – but I’m taking in back in advance of this week’s episode after watching this clip. Grrr — Argh!

You’re either going to love it or hate it — it’s the newest Supernatural spoof episode and I think it’s brilliant. You can read my full review right here. Or just skim the episode synopsis from The CW.

While you were watching “The Curious Case of Dean Winchester,” I was watching next week’s episode courtesy of a tricky-little demi-God with a wicked sense of humor. Need I say it?
SPOILERS AHEAD
Over the years, Supernatural has done an amazing job with their parody episodes. They recreated the world of the Universal monsters in Monster Movie, complete with black and white photography and fake-looking sets. One year they pulled out the hand-held cameras and took out the crew for a perfect recreation of a ghost hunting reality show.
This season it’s personal, as Supernatural pokes fun at some classic TV shows in …read more

Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) discover a witch (guest star Hal Ozsan) is running a high-stakes poker game where the currency is life years vs. money.
