Supernatural News as We Count Down to the End

But we won't mention how there are only three episodes left. *sob*

Hooray! Last week's episode matched season high ratings!

TV Guide launched a series of articles with this one about the 100th episode, with quotes from all the major players, followed by a recap that calls it a "just about perfect episode." And THEN, Mark Pellegrino compares and contrasts his two roles on Supernatural and LOST.

Want some behind-the-scenes? Go here for a BTS video done by Jim Beaver of the zombie episode (I adore the actress that played the sheriff, she's adorable!) and some footage of the 100th episode party. Both clips are 2 1/2 minutes long.

Last week Terri posted about the new Ghostfacers webisodes. There will be two eps each Thursday until Supernatural's season finale on May 13. You can find a behind-the-scenes interview here. There are interviews with the stars here.

While we're doing videos, here's a long interview with Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Variety, the entertainment industry newspaper, did an interview with Ackles and Padalecki a couple of weeks ago. It's mainly on their path to the show and what comes next, after the show's eventual end. Non spoilery.

A trailer is now available for Batman: Under the Red Hood, in which Jensen Ackles voices the titular villain.

Jensen accompanied Danneel Harris to the premiere of her movie The Back-Up Plan. There are some nice pictures here.

In a six degrees kind of thing...Lindsay of Support Supernatural interviewed psychic Dakota Lawrence here, and now author Tracy Madison, a huge Supernatural fan (thanks to me :) ), is giving away a prize package that includes a FREE reading with him! Hey, if one of us wins, we can ask him whether season six will be brilliant or anticlimactic... (Enter the contest here.)

Your turn to write for Supernatural

Okay, so you won't actually be writing for the show, but I thought it might be fun during our summer off from new episodes to have a fan fiction contest. And what better topic to tackle than your vision of how the first episode of next season will start! So here are the particulars:

* Write your vision of how Episode 1 of next season will start.
* Contest runs from today, June 17, until midnight Central Time on July 1.
* Max word count = 1,000.
* Keep the entries PG rated. Absolutely no Wincest.
* E-mail entries in the body of an e-mail to me at trishmilburn AT yahoo DOT com.
* Winner will receive a surprise pack of goodies and may have her/his winning entry posted here on Supernatural Sisters. We also may post other, non-winning entries for everyone to enjoy.

And on a different topic -- last week, Terri posted info about a casting call going out for the part of the devil on Supernatural. Regardless if that casting call is true, who do you think would be good in the role? I saw some mentions of David Anders, and I have to say that would be really interesting.

Contest Re-Drawing

Okay, unfortunately, the winner of our Finale Week contest hasn't contacted us, so we're drawing a new name.

Luckily, just in case this happened, I left all the names in my candy jar. Let me just reach in here... *pushes aside Sweet Mint Lifesavers*...and the winner is...

CHARLENE!

Charlene, please e-mail natalie @ nataliedamschroder.com without the spaces by May 31st, with your full name and mailing address, and we'll get this awesome prize package out to you!

And once again, thanks to all who participated!

Prize Reminder!

The winner of the big prize package is Diamond. If you commented under that user name, please contact me! E-mail address is natalie @ nataliedamschroder.com (without the spaces). Only three days left to respond, or I'll have to draw someone else!

And the Winner Is...

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in our Finale Week contest! It was awesome to hear from so many people, and welcome to the new posters--we hope you continue to read and comment from time to time! We have the best discussions that way.

So, because we had multiple comments over several posts, and because a lot of the commenters were ourselves, I just wrote everyone's names on slips of paper, emptied out my candy jar, put the folded slips in the jar, mixed them around, mixed them around some more, and drew...

DIAMOND!

Diamond, please e-mail me at natalie AT nataliedamschroder.com with your full name and mailing address. As soon as all the goodies are here and packed, I'll ship them out to you. Please contact me by May 24. In case of e-mail glitches, if you don't hear back from me within 24 hours or so, post a comment here and we'll make sure to connect somehow. If May 24 goes by with no contact, I'll draw another name.

So thanks again, everyone, and stay tuned for a summer full of interviews, hilarity, provocative thought, speculation, and whining that the season premiere is too far away. :)

Don't Forget!

If you haven't had anything to say on this week's posts so far, no worries. You don't need to be pithy or amusing or introduce a new theory or anything. Just post a comment on ANY post this week, and you'll be part of the drawing!

Complete information and rules here.

FINALE DAY

Does everyone feel the way I do? Sick with anticipation, glee, sadness, excitement, dread, and love?

It's here. The season four finale, the one that is expected to trump season three's sending Dean to hell.

However dark it may be, we have a little bit of light for one lucky winner. We're still collecting entries, via comments, for the excellent Supernatural Sisters prize pack.

Enjoy the finale tonight, and don't forget to come back tomorrow for Trish's write-up/recap! We'll console each other in the comments.
