Now the speculation can turn to what sort of horrible, torturous, and maddening cliffhanger Mr. Kripke will leave us with at the end of season four now that season five is a done deal. Whatever it is, I’m sure it’ll drive the fans completely nuts for an entire summer. Can’t wait!

I am very happy to have the wait over...I was actually saying that due to the bleeding fingernails (from gnawing on them) incurred due to a possible SAG strike -- now at least not a worry for this season but again next season who knows, and whether or not the beloved SPN would get a season five that I actually hoped Kripke just ended it here at Season 4 and I could get on with my life.
I know, heresy.
The fandom was just gearing up for a good snit and railing fit against D.O. and the e-mails and petitions were starting to gather like a storm and poof...we get Season 5. Me thinks Ms. Ostroff is all too aware of the dark demonic-like cloud gathering to hurl itself at her -- otherwise known as the SPN fandom, for which I'm a proud member, and decided to put herself out of her soon to be misery and made the announcement.
Whatever the reason I'm glad for a respite from the angst.
Now I can angst -- in a while, I'm taking several weeks off to rest and recuperate -- about the cliffhanger and perhaps an impending SAG strike over the summer or fall or winter ad nauseaum.
Phew.

I'm Freaking psyched!
You what that means........Misha's gonna be a regular! Which means more HOT HUNKY hunter Dean, and a pretty BLUE EYED angel Castiel.
Thanks CW.

I found out last night about that and even if it was midnight (Romania time) I started to call my friend, and togheter we did the happy dancing and the screaming...
It's a big chance for Kripke to tell his story the way he wanted and I don't freaking care what reasons Dawn Ostroff had to do this announcement, I still think it's the best news I received in a long time! Congrats to Jared and Jensen and all the crew and the cast! I am sorry that Kim died before seeing his show live another year!:(

I think it's damn lucky that Eric has got his five years, damn excellent too! God knows what's going to happen next season though because now that the Sam vs. Dean has started (since S&V) there's no way to slow it now, it's gonna snowball into something colossal in the season finale!
Although that is wicked to see I hope next season they are still together (gwad, sounds like I'm talking about an old married couple!) I hope Sam doesn't go off with Ruby while Dean goes off with the angels, gulp, please no!
Still, uber excited! I think if a creator can write an episode called 'Jump the Shark' with a third brother and Cousin Oliver's diner (snigger) then I safely believe its nigh impossible for real jumping of the shark to take place. Hopefully....
But God help Kripke if he lets Sam and Ruby elope!!!!!!!

Joy, Joy, Joy ... But you know this means a Krool Kripke Kliffhanger and another Summer of Discontent coming our way, and thanks to the early pick-up we've got even longer to agonize about what he's got in store ... Yippee! (I'm such a masochist)

Suits me...Finish with the Apocalypse. The ending to end all endings. Better to have 5 great seasons(Apart from Route 666)than to go down the X-Files route
