I love it when a plan comes together!

Especially when it's Supernatural creator Eric Kripke's 5 -year plan for his hit series starring Jared Padaleck and Jensen Ackles as Sam and Dean Winchester: two demon hunting, ghost banishing, monster slaying brothers who drive around in a cool  black '67 Chevy Impala loaded with weapons to deal with all kinds of supernatural related threats.

SUPERNATURAL, has been posting ratings growth since the 4th season premiered back on September 18th of 2008: a season which has seen the the return from hell of older brother Dean Winchester  (Jensen Ackles), the introduction of the angel Castiel (Misha Collins) and has also seen younger brother Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) begin what may very well turn out to be his decent into darkness with the demon Ruby (Genevieve Cortese) unintentionally (??) leading the way.

With the early pick-up by the CW network which seems to have rebounded from their earlier troubles, Supernatural will enter its fifth season later this year. New episodes of season 4 will resume airing this coming March 12th at 9PM EST.

Among the other series receiving early pickups for next season are The CW’s Monday tandem of sophomore sensation GOSSIP GIRL and ONE TREE HILL, which combined to lift The CW to become the fall’s #1 network on Monday with women 18-34.  Both GOSSIP GIRL and ONE TREE HILL have scored double-digit gains compared to their previous seasons.  Freshman hit 90210 has improved the network’s Tuesday night by double-digit increases in key demos.  Wednesday anchor AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL, which consistently wins its time period with young women, will also be back with superstar Tyra Banks and new groups of aspiring models for cycles 13 and 14.

Also renewed was Supernatural's established Thursday partner series SMALLVILLE, which stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent and will be entering its ninth season.

Monday January 26, 2009

In the early morning hours it began circulating as a rumor on German Supernatural discussion forums. By Mid afternoon it was confirmed as fact by a posting Supernatural actor Jim Beaver made on his Myspace Page.

"Jim is in mourning for one of the best friends and best directors he's ever known--Kim Manners, who died last night from lung cancer."

Then came this statement from the Publicist for Supernatural confirming the passing of Kim Manners:

“Supernatural” executive producer & director Kim Manners passed away last night in Los Angeles, following a battle with cancer. 

Then a statement from Creator and Executive Produce Eric Kripke:

"Everyone at 'Supernatural' is walking around in a daze, shocked and absolutely devastated.  Kim was a brilliant director; more than that, he was a mentor and friend.  He was one of the patriarchs of the family, and we miss him desperately.  He gave so much to 'Supernatural,' and everything we do on the show, now and forever, is in memory of him. 

The soft spoken Kim Manners had been with Supernatural since the first season coming in as director of the season one's 4th episode, "Dead in the Water". Even though Manners went on to become an executive producer of the hit series, which stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as demon fighting, monster hunting brothers Sam and Dean Winchester, he continued to direct up until his illness hospitalized him in December of 2008. His last listed episodes as director is the season 4 episodes "Lazarus Rising" and his final one, "Metamorphosis".

Kim Manners, who is the son of Cleveland Ohio born director/producer Sam Manners, was no stranger to the entertainment industry having been raised into it by being the son of such a well known and well respected industry professional.  Manners, whose career began back in 1970 has spent over three decades in the entertainment industry working as an actor, producer and director and has worked on such highly successful projects as The X-Files, Baywatch and 21 Jump Street which starred a young and up and coming Johnny Depp.

Yet it was more than just three decades of entertainment industry experience that Kim Manners brought to Supernatural as a director and executive producer, by all accountings from cast and crew alike, Manners brought a sense of solid strength and good-nature to everyone involved with the series and to the set. Both series leads Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles love to relate  their favorite story about how Manners playfully 'got them back' for the numerous pranks they played on him by waiting until both actors were trapped in a small tunnel like set in the season 2 episode 'No Exit' and poured a large bucket of cold water down on them.

Kim Manners could also be relied on by the cast and crew to be a practical problem solver as Jensen Ackles points out in a recent interview with the Official Supernatural Magazine. In the interview, Ackles relates how Manners took charge of figuring out how to get the actor, who was stranded at the LAX airport over the tail end of busy holiday because his seat was sold out from under him on an over booked flight, to the set of Supernatural in time to meet his set call and not lose the production money and time.

Kim Manners cared about Supernatural, it's cast and crew. He took pride in his work and in being part of bringing the fans and viewers the best possible stories being told. It's a given that all of those involved with the production of Supernatural are going to miss their co-work, friend and director/executive producer. Those of us out here in the fandom and media are going to miss Kim Manners as well.

We at EclipseMagazine.com send our prayers and condolences to the Manner's family and to his 'Supernatural family' as well.

Kim Manners will be missed.

The publicity department at Warner Brothers Television has once again provided the media with sneak peek teaser clips from an upcoming episode of Supernatural Season 4, which stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as Sam and Dean Winchester: two always on the go monster hunting, ghost chasing, demon hunting brothers.

After School Special,” will air on Thurs., 1/29 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

In the episode, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) look into a possible haunting taking place at one of the many schools they briefly attended while they were growing up.  Dean is not thrilled to be returning, but Sam takes a special interest in making the trip.  Flashbacks to when the Winchesters attended the school give insight to a childhood spent on the move with a largely absentee dad.  Guest starring Colin Ford as ‘Young Sam’ and Brock Kelly as ‘Young Dean.’    “After School Special” was written by Andrew Dabb & Daniel Loflin and was directed by Adam Kane.

The episode sounds like it promises to be a good one as far as insight into what makes the Winchester brothers tick and I have to say that the sight of Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) in a pair of tight red gym shorts is worth the price of admission.

Check out the clips provided by Warner Brothers and tun into the Supernatural this Thursday at 9PM EST to watch After School Special.

The CW Network/Warner Brothers hit series Supernatural, starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as monster hunting, ghost battling, demon killing brothers Sam and Dean Winchester, is gearing up for its come back from holiday break  on Thursday, January 16th with new first run episodes of season 4.

Warner Brothers publicity department has once again provided us with first look, teaser clips of the upcoming episode, which is tilted Family Remains.

Since Joining the writing team for the hit CW/Warner Brothers television show Supernatural, Jeremy Carver has written some of the most pivotal episodes of the series. Episodes like season three's Mystery Spot and A Very Supernatural Christmas which have delved into the deep connections that Sam and Dean Winchester have with each other as brothers and with their destinies as 'hunters' in the world of monsters, urban legends and demons.

Season four of Supernatural has taken off like high speed roller coaster. It has been a twisting, turning ride that has seen Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) pulled from hell by the Angel Castiel (newcomer Misha Collins) and has sent Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) with the aid of the demon Ruby (Genevive Cortese) down a possible path of darkness as he explores and begins using his own possibly demonic given powers. Season four has also expanded the myth arc and history of the Winchester family and given Jeremy Carver the opportunity to write one of this season's most pivotal episodes titled In The Beginning.

Eclipse Magazine.com caught up with Carver to ask him some 'behind the scenes' questions about the creation of this highly revealing episode.

MRR: Was In the Beginning and episode that you pitched in the writer's room or was it something that Eric Kripke came to you and said he would like you to write?

JC: It was a little of both. Eric definitely had always wanted to do a time travel episode in which we learn the origins of the Supernatural story--Mary being a hunter, the courtship of Mary and John, etc.--and I was given the task of fleshing it out.

MRR: Having now been handed the task of writing such a huge story line in the myth arc of the Winchester brothers, what were your feelings as a writer about being given an opportunity to write such a pivotal episode for the series?

JC: Sheer terror. Glee. Suspicion. Was I being set up to fail?

MRR: With John and Mary Winchester both already being established characters in the canon of the series, what was the biggest challenge you felt you faced as writer in creating these younger versions of them? Which one was more difficult for you to connect with as a writer in regards to their storyline?

JC: Originally, this episode was going to be much more of a John/Dean story than a Mary/Dean one. The problem was, with John being a happy-go-lucky, clueless civilian...there was literally nothing for him and Dean to talk about!

That said, writing Mary was far more difficult,if only because so much was riding on getting her right. I give all the credit in the world to Amy Gumenick, the actress who played Young Mary,for bringing her to life so vividly and compassionately.

MRR: In The Beginning had some very well presented guest characters who became very instrumental in the process of creating background history for Sam and Dean Winchester. Of all the 'guest characters' in this story, which one was the most fun for you as a writer to create and bring to life? Which one was the most difficult?

JC: Writing the Campbell clan was the favorite part of the episode for me.

Samuel Campbell was particularly fun...and difficult. Especially after he became Yellow Eyes and went on to Dean about his plans for Mary and the psychic kids. Getting all that mythology straight was brutal. And then Eric told me Mitch Pileggi was playing the role and I suddenly forgot about the pain, much in the way a woman conveniently forgets the pain of childbirth. I think. And, then, I watched Mitch's performance...and I can't quite find the right pregnancy metaphor here,so...let's just say he blew me away.

MRR: There is debate among some sections of Supernatural fandom that all of what happened to Dean in this episode was just a dream. So did Dean really meet his parents and have some affect on the past or was he just an observer in a dream? Is he really named after his grandmother or after the mysterious Dean Van Halen?

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT

JC: The answer to this question is going to be horrendous. Sorry.

Okay, first, not a dream. It all really happened. Yes, Dean affected the past, but he couldn't change it. This makes sense if you think of this from the perspective of the Campbells. In the history of the Campbells, there ALWAYS was going to be a stranger named Dean Van Halen who dropped into their lives and affected things. It's not like the Campbells lived one life, then Dean went back in time and caused them to live another. Future Dean was ALWAYS in their story...the current Sam and Dean just never knew it.

Dean was named after his grandmother, not himself.

If I've made sense to anyone out there, God bless you.

MRR: Will we be seeing any repercussions from events in this episode coming to light in other episodes of season 4?

JC: Yes. Most definitely, yes.

Well that sounds like things are going to continue to get very interesting for Sam and Dean Winchester and it sounds like something that I as a fan and viewer of Supernatural is certainly going to be looking forward to when new episodes of season 4 begin airing once more on the CW Network on Thursday nights at 9PM EST starting on January 15th.

A big EclipseMagazine.com Thank You to Jeremy Carver for taking the time to share these insights and 'behind the scenes' information with all of us. 

So while we wait for season 4 to come back in January, please come and share you thoughts with us here at Eclipse Magazine on what you think the repercussions might be and which upcoming new episode you think they might show up in.

'Sweeps Weeks' is upon us in 'television land' and that means that TV series are pull out heavy hitting first run episodes for audiences to delve into and to entice advertisers to spend their money on buying ad spots during the shows.  This past week's episode of the hit CW Network series Supernatural titled I Know What You Did Last Summer swept into the fray with a powerful storyline about how Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) dealt with his grief over losing older brother Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) to death as Dean made good on his deal with a crossroads demon that came due at the end of season 3. The episode also introduced us to Anna Milton, a woman who hears 'angelic conversations', which makes her target of interest for angel and demon alike.  We also got to meet up with the newest demon 'big bad, Alastair (Mark Rolston) who seems to know Dean from the older Winchester's time spent in hell.

Despite being pre-empted in many areas by CW Affiliates choosing to air Football instead, I Know What You Did Last Summer still garnered an impressive 3.91 overnight rating which means that Supernatural continues to hit its stride and continues to gain audience approval and viewer-ship in what is considered a very 'killer' Thursday night time slot. Just goes to show that those Winchester brothers are kick ass tough and they have what it takes to 'go the distance' (cue Eye of the Tiger Music').

Supernatural continues on into 'Sweeps Week' with an episode titled “Heaven and Hell,” which will air on Thursday the 20th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW and will be the last original episode of 2008! Additional new episodes of “Supernatural” will resume airing on Thursday January 15, 2009 (The day before Jensen Ackles' big screen horror movie My Bloody Valentine: 3D opens nation wide in select theaters).

Heaven and Hell is the the second half of a two-part episode bloc, which began with I Know What You Did Last Summer and resumes right where the story left off with Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) struggling to save the mysterious Anna Milton (guest star Julie McNiven). As Anna starts to remember her past, the brothers begin to understand the reason behind Castiel and Uriel’s (guest stars Misha Collins and Robert Wisdom) desire to see her dead and ignoring the angels’ orders, they attempt to help her recover an important part of her past so she can be saved. Meanwhile, Alastair (guest star Mark Rolston) and his demons continue to try to get to Anna and the Winchesters before the angels can. Also guest starring Genevieve Cortese as ‘Ruby’ and Traci Dinwiddie as ‘Pamela Barnes.’ The teleplay for “Heaven and Hell” was written by Eric Kripke from a story by Trevor Sands and was directed by J. Miller Tobin.

Previews for Heaven and Hell indicate that viewers might get to see more of the scenes that Jensen Ackles filmed at the end of season 3 of Dean being strung from what look like meat hooks as he was being tortured in hell.

At Comic Con 2008 over the summer, I had the chance to ask Jensen Ackles about filming these scenes and what kind of special effects were involved in them and even though Jensen and I had a different idea of what I was asking about (he thought I was asking if things were done with CGI), his answer was more than I could have asked for in terms of descriptiveness and willingness to share the details with readers.

"A lot of that wasn’t visual effects, a lot of that was real," Ackles told me as he grimaced slightly in remembrance of the process.  "Especially when I was getting killed and I was getting bruised up, I had a full body suit on and blood was flying everywhere, I had to wear that thing for six hours – it was like … I don’t know if you’ve ever had corn syrup blood on you… but it’s real tacky and sticky and I had that thing on for six hours… it’s not fun."

Describing the scene of Dean hanging in hell, Jensen Ackles elaborated on this process as well. "In the hell scene, I was actually hoisted up about 13 feet in the air with wires connected to my wrists and my ankles, and one to my belt," He says, pointing to the areas of his body where the hooks were attached to Dean. "Just splayed out like that and trying to hold myself up was difficult. The hooks were real and they were digging into my skin and with having spent four hours in prosthetics, getting those hooks put into my , you know, back, my stomach, yeah I wish they did all that with CGI," Ackles finished his answer with a rueful smile.

So while we are waiting for more scenes of Dean's time in hell and finding out what happened to him while he was there, Eclipsemagazine.com readers can check out the advance teaser clips so generously provided for us by Warner Bros. Television and then tune into the CW Network this coming Thursday November 20th to watch Heaven and Hell at 9PM EST.

The hit CW Network/Warner Bros. series Supernatural, which stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as Sam and Dean Winchester: two monster hunting, demon fighting brothers - seems to be really hitting its stride in it's fourth season with this week's episode, Wishful Thinking, getting 3.73 overnight rating.

Next week, Supernatural heads into 'Sweeps Weeks' with one of two highly anticipated episodes of the fourth season. In this first episode, a tip from Ruby (guest star Genevieve Cortese) sends Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) on the trail of Anna (guest star Julie McNiven - “Mad Men”), a mysterious young woman who is being hunted by both demons and angels.  Fans will also learn the long-awaited answer to the question of what happened to Sam (Jared Padalecki) during the four long months following his brother Dean’s (Jensen Ackles) death.  Additional guest stars include Misha Collins as ‘Castiel,’ Robert Wisdom as ‘Uriel’ and Mark Rolston as ‘Alastair.”  “I Know What You Did Last Summer” was written by Sera Gamble and directed by Charles Beeson.

Check out the two teaser clips provided for us by Warner Bros/The CW Network and then check out Supernatural next week on the CW at 9PM EST.

On Thursday October 30^th at 9PM EST the hit Warner Bros/CW Network series Supernatural will air it’s Halloween episode, titled ‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester’. As the Winchester’s say, every day is Halloween for them when it comes to dealing with all manner of beasties, demons, ghouls and witches. Plus this season there is even an angel or two thrown in for good measure. Those Winchester boys sure have their work cut out for them! 

In this spooktacular frightfest, which was written by Julie Siege and directed by Charles Beeson, Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles): the two monster hunting, demon fighting brothers will be facing off against every type of horrific creature they have every encountered as they investigate some strange Halloween-related deaths that are taking place in a town during the days leading up to the holiday itself. As they begin to solve the mystery, they also learn the real origins of Halloween and find themselves trying to save the entire town itself from a surprising pair of would-be assassins. The episode also guest stars Misha Collins (“24”) as ‘Castiel’ and introduces Robert Wisdom (“The Wire”) as ‘Uriel.’

While fans and viewers of Supernatural are waiting on the edge of their seats for this next episode to air, Eclipse Magazine.com has a real Halloween treat in store for it’s readers as we catch up and ‘go behind the scenes’ with Todd Stashwick, the handsome and talented actor who portrayed the shape shifter with the penchant for impersonating classic movie monsters in the Supernatural episode Monster Movie, which was filmed in retro black and white to pay homage to those classic horror movies of yesteryear.

Todd Stashwick, who describes himself as ‘quite the sci-fi horror geek’, is no stranger to appearing in these types of roles in his career having played all manner of beasties and ghouls before coming to Supernatural to play the shape shifter. The versatile actor has been in such notable scifi/horror series as Angel, Dark Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Enterprise along with a slew of other guest appearances on more mainstream hit series such as Monk, The Riches and The War at Home.

The first thing I learned about Todd Stashwick when I asked him if he was familiar with Supernatural before getting the role as the shape shifter was that he had a prior work connection to Jared Padalecki who plays Sam Winchester.

“Oddly Supernatural was off my radar. I'm quite the sci-fi horror geek but I missed it. I knew it was out there and that Jared was on it, he and I had done a pilot together 7 years ago, so when I saw his mug on huge posters around town I was like "Good for him!" I have since dived into season 1 on DVD and have to say I love it.”

Another new convert to the awesomeness of Supernatural. That’s always a good thing to learn about.

Todd also tells us that it was more than the chance to work with Jared again that drew him to take on the role of the monster movie loving shape shifter. It was the character itself and how the role was going to be presented that fascinated him, as he just like the character, is a long time fan of the classic horror monsters the role was based on.

“How often do you get a chance to recreate such an iconographic performance? We rarely get to play that broad on TV. That style of acting is outdated but quite fun.” It was also the very human side of this character that intrigued him as an actor as well. “Combine that with the emotional admission toward the end of the episode, which made for a complicated monster.”

In this reporter’s opinion, Todd Stashwick did an amazing job of bringing his character to life, especially in the persona of Dracula. The attention to detail in the accent, body language and hand gestures all harkened back to the early days of Bela Lugosi’s riveting work in the role. So I asked Todd if he had studied the old movies for inspiration or was the material for this provided in the script or by the director Robert Singer?

Being both the dedicated actor and fan of the old horror classics that he is, the actor revealed that when he booked the role on Supernatural in the episode Monster Movie, he bought the 75th anniversary edition of Todd Browning's Dracula with Lugosi on his own for reference and inspiration.

“This shape shifter wanted to BE Lugosi's Dracula,” Stashwick explains his take on the character’s motivation. “So I broke down what Bela (Lugosi) did technically. How he moved and spoke depending on whom he was talking to.”

Todd tells me that in order to keep himself on track with his source of inspiration, that he kept the DVD on his laptop in his trailer and watched it in between takes. “It was fascinating for me to study the ACTUAL performance versus the parody it has become through the years, I didn't want to do Sesame Streets "The Count" I wanted to be so loyal to Lugosi that when the gave me my fangs I raised the issue that Bela never had fangs in the original. I lost that argument.”

So what was the most challenging thing about this role on Supernatural and his decision to stay as true to the Lugosi version of Dracula as possible?

“Making sure my accent was consistent. Also staying sympathetic and grounded while still being over the top. I gained a great respect for Lugosi, how clean and stylized his acting was,” Stashwick says of living up to this challenge.

So what was the most fun? “Please, I'm Dracula, it was all fun,” he says laughing.

As to the Mummy and Werewolf versions, those, he explains were played by stunt performers so he really didn’t have to do any research on them.

Speaking of stunt work, I pointed out that his character had quite a few scenes where he mixed it up in fight scenes with the Winchester brothers, especially Dean. How much was stunt work and how much did Todd as the actor actually get to mix it up in the two lead actors?

Apparently all three actor’s, were quite involved in the ‘hands on’ approach to these scenes.

“I did all my own fights with the guys. The stunt guy did the leap over the fence.”

Todd Stashwick considers working with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles on Monster Movie to have been a special treat for him as an actor. “I had a great deal of fun on this project. The guys are hilarious, a lot of laughing. At one point I had Jensen (Ackles) in a choke hold against a wall, fangs in place and we both just busted up at the fact that here we are both grown men and this is how we are spending our evening.”

Knowing that the two leads are notoriously known for pranking people I asked Todd if he had ended up on the receiving end of any pranks by them or by others on the set?

“Can't kid a kidder,” he responded cryptically.

So I wonder does this mean that Jared and Jensen may have met their match? Since Mr. Stashwick didn’t elaborate, I guess this will remain one of life’s little mysteries in the Supernatural lore.

What Todd was willing to elaborate on was upcoming projects that fans/viewers can see this highly talented actor in.

“I'll be on Ghost Whisperer in November. I just shot an episode of Sarah Conner Chronicles. I got to play a terminator and that was very cool. I'm currently shooting an episode of The Mentalist. Also Surfer Dude comes out on DVD in December, beyond that who knows.”

While we are looking forward to seeing more of the talented Todd Stashwick in his upcoming projects, Supernatural viewers can tune into the CW Network this Thursday at 9PM EST to catch the new episode of Supernatural season 4, It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester.

The thrilling and terrifying journey of the Winchester brothers, Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) continue with the third season of Supernatural on the CW.

Yes, these photos for the Supernatural Season 4 episode Lazarus Rising have been around for a few days. I actually got them when they first came out, but didn't have anywhere to post them because of server issues with Eclipsemagazine.com that prevented me from posting them. That prompted me to create a place of my own.

Since these have been out for a few days now, I figured I needed a little bit of 'hook' to have a reason to post them as well. So I went looking for one and found it. I decided to enhance the photos so that we could take a closer look at them and see what might be intriguing about them, well besides the hotness that is Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles who star as Sam and Dean Winchester.

I brought the this image up to a lighter setting and noticed some very interesting things in the background of psychic Pamela Barnes' (played by Traci Dinwidde) digs:

Notice the really cool painting in the background and the art, including the golden Chinese mask of Budda. This lady is very interesting!

Next we have two photos of the séance going on where Dean, Sam, Bobby Singer (played by Jim Beaver) and Pamela are making contact with someone or something on the supernatural side:

Once again I did some lightening of the photo and some things I found really intriguing showed up. In the picture above notice that the candle flames seem to come together to form an image of something that, at least to me, resembles a hellhound. Check it out see what you think.

In the photo below, once it was lightened I was really fascinated by what seems to be appearing on Dean's exposed bare shoulder and his neck (and I don't just mean the lovely freckled skin). Whether it is a trick of the light or a flaw in the photo, but it looks like there is an 'entity' hovering almost on top of him. Did Dean Winchester bring something back from hell with him or is that something else

The below photo is still driving me crazy even though I lightened it and toned down some of the color saturation in it. Is it Sam or Dean? Or is it some random guy who just couldn't take the suspense anymore of waiting on season 4 of Supernatural to begin!

On to the next photo. Hmm..scorch marks on the floor next to woman in a waitress outfit lying apparently lifeless while Sam Winchester crouches over her. Well either something decidedly demonic was afoot or the waitress just keeled over in the sheer shock of seeing Sam Winchester actually eat something (see next photo).

You know there is going to be lots of surprises going on in a Supernatural episode when you see Sam Winchester actually eating something. (ok maybe I'm just exaggerating a bit about that..or maybe not).

At first I lightened up the below photo for just for the pleasure of seeing the lovely bare shoulder more clearly. But low and behold something else was made apparent. That there is such a thing as continuity with Supernatural. Notice the 'bullet wound scar' on Dean's shoulder right next to Pamela's thumb. Someone was paying attention to what is expected to be seen when you show the audience that section of Dean's bare skin. Good Job!

Ok so there is nothing intriguing to be revealed in the next photo after lightening it unless you include getting to see Dean's injured knuckles more clearly. I just wanted to post it because it has me happily singing 'I'm Back in Baby's Arms' as we see Dean back in the driver's seat of his beloved '67 Chevy Impala 'baby' once more!

Ok that's it, that was my hook. If you came to look at these, then I thank you kindly for visiting my new site:)
