Supernatural has settled back into its usual greatness, and the next couple of weeks look even more exciting. Here are a few peeks at what lay ahead for Supernatural fans, including a big time reveal for the October 29th episode “Changing Channels.”
First, for those who missed it before, here is another gander at that awesome multi-episode promo that the Supernatural producers put together. Some of it is out-dated as of this week, but the next few episodes are covered as well.
In case you didn’t figure it out, the channel changing funniness involves Sam and Dean visiting various other television shows. So far we know the boys will visit a mock up of a Japanese game how, Grey’s Anatomy, Knight Rider, and a few others. Most Supernatural fans guessed what was going on right away, and these pictures confirm it: this is a Trickster episode. Rejoice
SAM AND DEAN GET STUCK IN TV HELL — The Trickster (guest star Richard Speight Jr.) throws Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) into an alternate universe where they are characters in different television series, including a sexy medical show, a Japanese game show, a forensics show and a sitcom. The brothers realize the only way to get out of this world is to play along and become the characters in the shows. However, Castiel (Misha Collins) appears and warns them this universe is dangerous and they must get out before they become trapped. Charles Beeson directed the episode with teleplay by Jeremy Carver (#508).

We have sort of put the horse before the cart though, as that episode is for the week after next. Next week we have an episode where Dean gambles away so many years that had to drag out retired idol Chad Everett to play him in “The Curious Case of Dean Winchester.” To Everett’s credit, the 73 year old is playing a 50’s something Dean – either the casting department has a low opinion of the 50’s, or Evertt is rocking the 70’s. I’m sure he’d prefer us to say the latter.
OLD MAN DEAN! — Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) discover a witch (guest star Hal Ozsan) is running a high-stakes poker game where the currency is life years vs. money. Bobby (Jim Beaver) sees the game as a chance to get out of the wheelchair and bets 25 years, but loses. As Bobby begins to age rapidly, Dean steps in to save him but also ends up turning into an old man, leaving Sam holding the bag for their survival.
