SUPERNATURAL SEASON THREE SCOOP!!!

Eric Kripke, creator and executive producer of The CW's series Supernatural, told SCI FI Wire that he's been waiting to get to the storyline in the upcoming third season ever since the show began. "This is the season to join the party," Kripke said in an interview. "Or for fans, this is the season they've been waiting for. From the beginning I was always like, 'Oh, man, just let us get to season three.'

Because season one and two we set the chessboard, and in season three, really, all hell breaks loose." "All Hell Breaks Loose" was, in fact, the title of the season two finale. It set up a third season in which brothers Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) will be tracking down some of the demons that escaped when the gates to hell were opened.

Kripke added that the series will return to a simpler season-long mythology focusing on the ongoing war between good and evil. "There's so much we're paying off," he said. "I feel the mythology was great in season one. I think the stand-alones were great in season two. But I think the mythology of season two was just okay. It was too complicated. It wasn't as visceral as 'find dad.' And in season three we're back to a really visceral mythology, which is 'It's war, what do we do?'

And so we're really excited about that mythology, and we feel, again, it's going to be the most exciting season yet.' Still, Kripke doesn't intend to leave behind the show's "bread and butter" stand-alone episodes, which will continue to explore various urban myths. One of these will even inform an upcoming Christmas episode.

"We'll never run out as long as they keep us on the air," Kripke said. "I just found a urban legend about the anti-Claus, an evil Santa Claus, the one who doesn't come to give you gifts, the one who comes to punish you when you're naughty. It's called the Belsnickel in Maryland. And we were like, 'Great. The Supernatural Christmas episode.' So there's sort of no limit to those episodes."

AHHHhhh I can't wait!!
