I have to say, before season two premiered, I was sort of excited, yet the show didn't really grab me, it was just a decent genre show to watch. But over the past season it's made me a definite fan, now it's the show I look forward to the most each week, and seeing as how I [try] to watch a lot of shows, that's saying something.

I'm really excited for the finale. And I hope to high heaven that The CW renews it for a third season.

Supernatural Will Have Answers

John Shiban, executive producer of The CW's Supernatural, told SCI FI Wire that answers will be revealed as the second season wraps up with a two-part finale. "I think people will be surprised at some of [the answers]," Shiban (The X-Files) said in an interview. "Everybody has their theories, of course. We've got some good twists and turns in there. We've obviously hinted at some big things from the top of the season involving Sam's destiny, involving Dean's mission and what the demon is doing. ... As usual in our Supernatural world, it's not going to be what everybody expects."

Supernatural centers on brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) and their hunt for mythical creatures that prey on the human race. This season, the brothers have been seeking the demon that killed their parents and have discovered that Sam has psychic powers. The demon, it turned out, has plans for him and the children like him.

Throughout the season, "hints and tidbits" have been dropped, which will lead up to the revelations in the finale, "All Hell Breaks Loose," Shiban said. "Those things were done on purpose. At the top of the year we said, 'As we hit our mythology periodically, let's drop this piece of information. Let's let this out or let's let that out, which will set up our ending.' And I'm very pleased with how it played. I think people are not frustrated. They're not feeling we're stringing them along, which I think is good. The sense I get is that they're excited and they want to know more and they're going to get more."

Shiban added: "It's really been for us, creatively, real exciting and a real treat. We started out the year saying, 'OK, we're not just going to rest on our laurels.' And we were relatively happy with season one. There were some episodes that didn't work out as well as we hoped, and there were some things we tried that we weren't 100 percent happy with. But we said, 'Let's not just keep doing the same thing. Let's throw some curve balls. Let's open up the world. Let's add characters. Let's find different ways to tell stories, both in the area of what we call stand-alones—our sort of monster-of-the-week episodes, where we did everything from killer clowns to a demonic virus to the ghost of the serial killer—[and our mythology episodes].' We try to tell stories in a different way, sometimes with flashbacks, sometimes, [as in] 'The Night Shifter' that aired recently, where it's sort of Dog Day Afternoon and you're telling the story from the middle."

The next original episode, "Hollywood Babylon," will take the brothers Winchester undercover on the set of a horror movie that may be cursed. It airs on April 19 in the show's regular 9 p.m. ET/PT Thursday timeslot. —Kathie Huddleston

I think my enjoyment of this show has gone down. It's not that I dislike it, but I don't look forward to it each week.

I think my enjoyment of this show has gone down. It's not that I dislike it, but I don't look forward to it each week.

I'm pretty much the opposite right now, it's one of the few shows I still look forward to a lot each week. Yet that could easily change; I seem to go through phases with this show, sometimes I get tired of it in the sense I just don't love it as much and the episdoes are good but not great. But rewatching always helps, I'm rewatching season one on DVD right now, it's the third time overall I've watched the season (including when it was airing on TV) and I find the episodes are even better on repeat viewings. I always take it for granted but when I rewatch the show seems a lot more clever then people give it credit for.

The only thing about the show is, that while I look forward to each new episode, it doesn't have me truly addicted and hooked like other recent genre shows have. Point Pleasant had me dying to see more each week, Night Stalker was fairly addictive for me, same with Tru Calling and Miracles.

I wish I knew what it was lacking that keeps me from being too addicted. Because I kinda like that addicted feeling. :)

I think it's that the episodes are not connected in the way some shows are - that leave you at the end of one wondering what's going to happen next week. Like they leave you a little hanging at the end. Yeah there's the Sam arc, but for the most part episodes are pretty standalone.

Supernatural, for me, is at the top of a short list of shows I'd truly hate to see go. I watch a lot of TV in a week, but only a handful of those are shows that I'd really be overly upset if they suddenly stopped. And it's pretty much the only show that I without a doubt know if it's a new episode this week or not. And that I don't have to ask my mom 'what's on tonight' for. I always know it's on when it's on.

And I've probably watched every season one ep on DVD now a couple dozen times (save the last two, cause I only have a five disc changer, so disc six doesn't always get played as much *L*). But I'm still not bored with it. I still chuckle at lines I've heard a bazillion times, and I still pout at those kind of 'tear up' moments. *L* And I'm right now kind of playing through some of season two now on tape and have been just totally sucked into some of those like it was the first watching. :) CW just better renew it, if they don't they are on some kind of insane crack. Especially since there's like 4 shows on that network that actually kind of NEED to get axed cause they're so done. *L*
