Supernatural: Bela's Got a Gun

So Bela stole the Colt. A little something I forgot to mention in my review.

I don't blame Bela for this. Bela was really just a plot device. The Colt needed to be gone. For most of the stuff the Winchesters hunt, the Colt is too powerful. It makes them an uneven match.

Think about how boring most of the episodes would be if the brothers show up on a hunt, find the thing, whatever it is, and just shoot it.

Probably a 40 minute episode, max. With commercials.

On the other hand, we've now seen it's not quite true that it can kill anything. More powerful demons just shrug it off. And since the brothers are moving up to a tougher class of monster, it's not going to be that useful anyway.

Double Duty

I don't think Bela was in this episode just to keep her fresh in our minds, or just to steal the Colt. I think she had another purpose that's probably going to play a big part soon.

Remember Bela's board? She calls it her "talky board". You probably know it as a Ouija(tm) Board. It seems like every time Bela appears in an episode, the board is either shown, or mentioned.

Surely that's not an accident.

I'm just wondering what the writers have in store for us with that.

Strike Is Over!

I'm sure you've heard by now that the WGA strike is over. Eric Kripke mentioned in an interview that he thought they could do 3 new episodes, maybe 4, before the season ends (though E! Online reports they've been asked to do 5 or 6! That's a great sign towards a Season 4!). Previous interviews mentioned that he was unsure how they would handle the missing episodes, whether they would be shot and shown in the summer, shot for the fall as part of Season 4, or condensed and made part of Season 4. As soon as anything shows up in the news, I'll post it here.

That is great news. I would love to see 5 or 6 new episodes. But only if they aren't rushed. The acting, writing and directing makes this show so wonderful. I would rather have 3 great episodes then 6 so so episodes (they could never be bad). It also sounds like we are getting our season 4, does the happy Dance.
