Visions of Winchesters: Supernatural Blog Carnival, June 26

So, it’s summer, and we’re all like loosey goosey and relaxed, so I’m not going to force us into rigid categories for our Supernatural news. In this post, we’ve got the news items and fun stories. Then, we have a separate page of spoilers. Don’t visit it if you don’t want to know.

CW Sets Fall Premieres
Supernatural will be back on the air September 10.

Tater Tops Poll: Best Genre Show
If you haven’t already, vote for Supernatural (or your actual favorite genre show, if it isn’t SPN).

Supernatural Comic-Con News and Thoughts on the First Season of the Show
Maureen Ryan will be moderating the Supernatural panel at Comic-Con this summer, so she talks a bit about the show and her experiences watching it as newer viewer.

In related news, J2 haven’t yet signed on to be part of the SPN panel.

Supernatural Flashback: The Usual Suspects
Diana Steenbergen takes us back to a very fun episode starring Linda Blair, Jason Gedrick, and a creepy ghost. If I remember correctly, it was the episode when the writers addressed fan concerns that there is no way the boys could constantly get away with the dead bodies they were leaving in their wake. I still don’t understand why they never spent more time wiping their prints, but that’s just me, I guess.

Why Jensen Ackles is the Best Choice for Captain America
The Comic Book Movie site ran a poll earlier this month to see who should play Captain America. Jensen won. This is a fun fan post arguing for his casting.

Supernatural Star Jared Padalecki is Just a Big Softie
OMG!!11!1 Jared and I are the same! We both cried at Marley & Me! Seriously, though, this is a nice profile piece from the Sunday Mercury.

The Angel in Trench Coat
The Phillippine Star gives us a profile of Misha Collins and discussion of his character Castiel.

Mega Buzz
Where else can you find Jim Beaver? Apparently he will be on an episode of Psych sometime soon.

That’s it for this month. I’ll be back with another blog carnival in early August. There should be a great crop of spoilers by then!
