Positively Positive Review: Supernatural Panel, Comic-Con 2009
by Mokibobolink on Jul.30, 2009, under Comic-Con 2009, Conventions, Panels
For the third year in a row, I managed to get seats at the very popular Supernatural panel. This year neither of the “boys” could make it, but we still had some fantastic guests – Eric Kripke, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, Sera Gamble and Ben Edlund.
My friends and I waited in line for an hour and only just barely got in to the room in time to see Eric Kripke introducing a clip from the premiere episode of Season 5.
Highlights….. (spoiler free)
Kripke announcing that Jared and Jensen were sorry they were unable to make it and “they are shirtless and send their love.” – Does this guy know his audience or what?
Jim and Misha discussing a possible (at least in their heads) storyline this season concerning an unrequited love between Bobby and Cas.
Kripke talking about how the idea for “The Monster at the End of the Story” came about. Turns out they couldn’t figure out how to put in a guy who writes book about Sam and Dean (and have it make sense), until someone suggested that they make the character a Prophet. Then suddenly it worked. I love hearing about other people’s writing process and this little glimpse into the writer’s room on the show was amazing for me.
Kripke telling us that last year’s season was all about the brother’s being torn apart and this year will be about them coming back together……getting the most angst out of it that they possibly can. Yes! I love me some good brotherly angst.
Everyone talking about the direction that Cas will be going this year.
Being told that some of my favorite characters will be returning this year.
An audience member asking Kripke if there would be a season 6 and him replying that he was going to wait and see. The fact that it wasn’t a flat out “no”, gave me hope that we might just see a season 6.
Watching the clips from the season 4 gag reel.
Overall it was a very informative panel with Kripke and crew giving us lots of tidbits of what is to come in the final (if it is indeed to be the final) season of Supernatural. Once again, as it does every year, watching the panel has made me very excited for the season to come.
Disagree? Have something to add? Want to suggest something for me to review? Post a comment. I’d love to hear from you!

Hi! I couldn’t help but drop by your blog when I saw in your A/N for “Sibling Rivalry” on fanfiction.net that you went to the Supernatural panel at Comic Con. What did you think of the 5 minute season 5 preview? Liked reading your thoughts about the panel and hopefully the “boys” will be there next year since I had to miss going this year. Keep up the great writing! :o]

Hey there AZGirl, so glad you dropped by.
I didn’t want to say too much about the clip as I didn’t want to give any spoilers in case anyone was trying to avoid them.
What I can say is that the clip showed us that something VERY interesting is going to happen with our favorite guardian angel this year. It was full of humor, the likes of which only Kripke can bring about (ie, it was a little dark) and overall it made me very excited for the next season to start.
Yep, all that from a scant five minutes. LOL.
