Izhi and I finally got to chat for real last night, after 7 months of not really touching base. We reviewed what we liked about S6 and S7, and some of what we thought was wobbly. I miss ya, Izh.
Between the fan-posted con vids of the SDCC panel and the WB-posted panel, which was taken from the panel's direct feed, I've now seen the entire panel.
And I'm really kind of excited. (Though again, I went wandering through the interwebs ans was spoiled for something I didn't want to know, and now I'm creating in my mind a scenario that is both exciting me and freaking me out. Oh, to return to the days of S3/S4 hiatus, where I didn't know anything going into S4 and was completely bowled over by Castiel's appearance. Also, the fic that summer was incredible.)
Not a spoiler: Ben Edlund is just not right. A hilariously geeky kind of not right.
Not a spoiler: Jeremy Carver is playing it very close to the vest. Which I like.
Spoiler-ish: They've going to be looking for a "power source" . . . I am intrigued. The upcoming season is being compared to Raiders of the Lost Ark, which I often cite as my favorite movie, because, dude, LOVE that movie! So if we get Dean as Indiana Jones? I'm all over that. Anyway, power source. Ark of the Covenant? Hm . . . It can't be that obvious.
Not a spoiler: This cast and crew get along so incredibly well. I would love to work on that set.
That's it for now, methinks. I really should get some work done.
