Grim news on the strike front. Negoitations have broken off - again. Rumors of an agreement before Christmas look like just rumors at this point. But at least we have a new episode tonight!
In a first, Eric Kripke brings us a Christmas episode this time. Being Supernatural, I wouldn't expect jolly old elves or happy misfit reindeer.In fact, in a TV Guide interview (careful, spoilers enclosed), Mr. Kripke tells us exactly what to expect. Lots of gore. He also talks a bit about the arc of the rest of the season.
Unfortunately, he also reveals that there are also only 4 more episodes before repeats, unless the strike is resolved soon. It wasn't clear if the 4 includes tonight's episode.
So enjoy while you can, and ask Santa for an end to the strike insanity.
