He's Coming!
Our countdown clock takes us to the very start of September 10th, and of course we have that whole day to wait, too...but we are officially well under three weeks until the season premiere! Woo hoo!
I really want to stay spoiler free. It's nearly impossible, because if casting news or a Comic-Con report comes my way, I can't stop myself. But as I've watched the first three seasons over again, I remembered how much different that initial viewing of "Born Under a Bad Sign" would have been had I not seen the promo photos beforehand. You know, the ones with Sam's black eyes?
So I didn't look at these. Pictures from the premiere. I might happen across them between now and then, but I'm going to try really hard not to click any links. :)
(Aside: One thing I'm curious about--many of the promo photos they release before an episode airs seem to have been taken during rehearsals. Jensen wears that weird T-shirt/vest combo when on film he's wearing one of his jackets instead.)
1. Summer in Canada
When the show starts filming, it's warm enough for them to shed a few layers. First episode (ref. seasons 2 and 4, above), we often get T-shirts! (MAN, Sam looks young in that shot!)
2. "Hello, this is Jared Padalecki."
Remember the ABC Sunday Night Movie bumper?
Seeing that (and hearing the music) always brought a sense of excitement and anticipation. Now I get that from hearing Jared or Jensen tell us they're coming up next. I have the entire 42 minutes of show ahead of me, and it could bring anything--laughter, tears, heartbreak, action...and BOBBY!
3. Taking up where we left off.
Some shows jump ahead every season, most frequently, I think, so the time frame matches the real-life time frame. Season 4 did that, though it also, of course, fit the storyline and not just convenience. But like season 2 began immediately after the semi crash, season 5 should begin in the room with Sam and Dean as Lucifer approaches. I get shivers just thinking about it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The CW has begun promoting the show, and it's looking good!
First, they released this two-and-a-half-minute "Up to Speed" video recapping season 4:
Next came eleven seconds of the premiere, "Sounds Like Hell." This one CAN be considered spoilery, as it is from the actual premiere, so if you're a spoiler purist, don't click play. :)
And finally, we got an actual promo. This is only 20 seconds long. It's kind of propaganda-style, with images NOT from the show interspersed with almost-too-quick-to-figure-out flashes from early episodes. Some of those are very creepy.
I'm adding a SPOILER WARNING to the comments because we might want to dissect some of this stuff in there.
In the meantime, I'm holding my breath until September 10th!

at 0:10 looks like Dean is in an airplane that is crashing. Perhaps a manifestation of his worst fear?
LOL, Sarah, me, tooooooo!
Poppycole, I was thinking the same thing! It's hard to tell, though, since all the episode shots were in black and white, it could be an actual event--but then, the mask looked kind of odd, didn't it?
The creepiest thing for me was the crib with the ectoplasm. Ahhhhhhhhhh! I'm so glad my youngest is 10! LOL
I didn't click on one because I like to be spoiler-free and I didn't click on another because it sounded too creepy, LOL. But you're "Hello, this is Jared Padalecki" cracked me up. I love that moment, too, at the end of the previous show when I'm told that a brand new episode of Supernatural starts now :-)
Tanya, I admire and respect your restraint. :)
Wow. I just got the same non-word for word verification that I got another blog a minute ago. Weird.
