Supernatural Spoilers

Under the cut are details about the episode.

( Spoiler Cut for 4.17 )

Three clips for Episode 4.17 are under the cut.

( This way... )

As you've probably noticed, this community hasn't been updated in a bit. I stepped down from covering SPN at SpoilerFix a little while back, and getting banned from TWOP today (I seconded someone else asking if it was okay for the recapper to attack someone and apparently that is a bannable offense, even if I had a previously perfect record) pretty much killed my interest in continuing to be actively involved in the SPN fandom.

You can continue to follow Rincey's coverage of SPN on SpoilerFix.com, and I'll continue to blog personally at my LJ. See you guys around!

ETA: This entry does not mean the comm is ending! A member has stepped forward to take the reins. You'll hear from her soon. :)

Tonight's new SPN episode is pre-empted in Denver, CO. It airs Saturday, Dec. 15, at 8pm.

Feel free to email the CW affiliate and let them know your concerns about this inconsiderate move. Smallville was also preempted and will air at 7pm on Saturday.

... mainly because I didn't want to ruin the awesome finale for er, myself. Sorry about that.

It's not exactly a spoiler, but as first reported by TWOP source DSinLA and then elsewhere, our show has been renewed for 22 episodes. Variety is expecting it to stay with Smallville, on Thursdays.

See you next season. ;)

3/15 - 2.16 "Roadkill"

4/12 - 2.17 "Heart"

4/19 - 2.18 "Hollywood Babylon"

4/26 - 2.19 "Folsom Prison Blues"

5/3 - 2.20 "What Is and What Should"

5/10 - 2.21 "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1"

5/17 - 2.22 "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2"

Episode 2.18: Hollywood Babylon
Airdate: April 2007 (TBA)

From SpoilerFix:

The episode opens on filming of "Hell-Hazers II: The Reckoning", a low-budget horror film directed by McG. The object of Dean's affections starred in Boogeyman (written by SPN creator Eric Kripke) but derides the 'horrible' script. The brothers are confused by ghosts which appear to be tag-teaming; an unlikely occurrence. Sam consults with Ash. McG's inspirational speech earns applause from Dean.

You've heard that Jensen got his start on American soap opera Days of Our Lives, but online clips are few and far between. :(

Until now!

Clip from 5/1/98: Eric befriends a runaway named Madison. LeAnn Rimes guest-stars for three episodes (this is from the last one: Jensen's first on-screen kiss). The scene is a dance-fantasy of Madison's, featuring LeAnn's single "Looking Through Your Eyes".

Files are in .mov format. Sorry, that's what the camera picked. Averaging 25MB, they're also pretty small, viewing-wise. Again, sorry. :\ I originally did them as 640x640... which equaled 260MB. Ouch. Hey, tiny Eric is better than none!

Please note: members of spn_spoilers have access to more clips AND get them before anyone else. There are no spoilers in clip posts (but spoiler posts are NOT behind cuts). This is not an invite-only community. There will probably be more public posts, but you may wanna consider joining if these are something you're interested in. ;)

( Link + Eric Brady 101 )

spn_spoilers led the rest on scoops and spoilers since I first created it. And then I disappeared. Heh.

This is an FYI. I am currently maintaining two full jobs (Press and Industry Relations) for an upcoming convention, which pretty much means I have a real-lfie 40 hours a week job, and then I have about 30 hours of PMX. Per week. I'm also moving into my first (!) apartment.

As such, I am going on a hiatus from SpoilerFix (and this community) until the second week of November. I really really don't want to, but there's no way I can handle much more than eating, moving, con and work. :(

See you then, I'll miss you all. And if cons are your thing, I'd love to say hi!

Some early DOOL articles. The last is my personal favorite. :)

Never seen Eric Brady in action? I have several screencap-spams in my personal journal.

Taylor finds male bonding with Days' son
( Jensen really listens. When you're doing a scene with him, he's right there with you, right in the moment. As a result, every scene I do with him is real. )

Per BestBuy.com, their version of the upcoming DVD release will also include an exclusive bonus DVD from the Q&A session at Paley.

This bonus disc delivers an evening of insights and behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the oracles themselves: What scares them? What are their favorite scenes? Where did that '70s music idea come from? And what's evil about a '67 Chevy Impala?

You can preorder on that site for $41.99 or buy in store Sep. 5, 2006. If you preorder, make sure and doublecheck - bonus DVDs are typically for in store purchases only.

That session is a must-see, I know where I'll be buying my set. :)

If you live in the Bay Area, California, you get to watch the CW Sneak Peek tonight at 9PM here on the CW Bay Area 44 cable 12.

(This is apparently co-hosted by Jared).

Possibly the first articles to put his name in lights. Seriously.

Fansites/bogs/messageboards, you're welcome to link/take/quote from these, but I'd really appreciate a comment and a link back. :) Thanks!

Teen trades ranch work for appearance on TV
Jeanette McNamee; Express-News Staff Writer
( When Hollywood came calling for aspiring actor Jared Padalecki, the Madison High School senior was working on a ranch in Blanco, far from the bright lights of a television or movie studio. Padalecki, 17, of San Antonio was one of two teens selected nationwide as a winner of Seventeen Magazine and Fox-TV's Claim to Fame Contest. )

A casual scrutiny of Jensen fansites didn't turn these up, so hopefully these are new to most if not all of you. :) I love reading old interviews and seeing where stars came from. I hope to do features like this with Jared, too.

In no particular order...

Thanks to everyone who answered my poll!

I am anal and fond of organizing. From here on out, all entries will be posted with the following first ALL CAPS lead:

- SPOILERS:
- NEWS: (NEWS/JENSEN:) (NEWS/JARED:)
- ADMIN:

(They'll be tagged and memory'd as such, too. Spoiler posts will also continue to be memory'd under their ep title).

Majority rules; the news posts will be public, tell everyone! The spoiler posts will remain members-only. The profile and links bar have been updated to reflect this.

It's split pretty openly as far as how many posts per day, so how about a compromise? ONE news post per day per all-caps lead (except for spoilers, of course). I'm not here to spam your flist. :)

Questions? Comments? I'd love to hear them. And if you volunteered to help me out, thanks so much! I'm especially looking for people who can scan things in the future, because I have dialup and that never works well.

Due to a death in the family, I will be absent from SpoilerFix/SpoilerFreaks duties beginning this Saturday through probably next Thursday.

1. The profile page has been updated, since Supernatural is now a fully-covered show on SpoilerFix.

2. In response to questions, the little 'blurb on the site for episode 2.02 has been modified and now reads:

Dean and Sam meet Ellen, a tough roadhouse bar owner who shares a cryptic history with John. Ellen's daugher, Alex, is a fellow hunter who resents the boys. Alex is in her 20s and Ellen is in her mid-30s to early 40s. Both characters are possibly recurring this season.

3. If I said I wasn't offended by some of the hubbab in various parts of fandom that I "made this all up", among other accusations, I'd be lying. I always welcome any questions and try to clarify any spoilers to the best of my ability. The same goes for anything released in this fandom. In the future, I would appreciate questions regarding spoilers from SF coming directly to me (email, reply or otherwise), and not treated as gossip or hysterical accusations in other communities or sites. Because really, that kind of trash doesn't help anyone.

Thanks. :)
