Remember way back in season 3 or 4 when Jeremy Carver’s name showed up in the credits you would get all excited, knowing you were in for a fun ride? Well, ramp up your Supernatual fan squeals because not only is Mr. Carver back, he is co-running the show! Hooray!
Seems as though Sera Gamble has finally had enough, and is off to develop new shows. This is something I am sure will make lots of the hardcore fans happy, as they loved to bitch about what she’s done to the show. Personally, I think she’s done a pretty good job considering she was handed a show that was only supposed to be 5 seasons, according to Kripke, and asked to pull new stories out of what was pretty well worn territory. Was she perfect? No. But after a shaky season 6, she brought in a whole slew of new writers and has done a pretty good job this season of getting our lovely brothers back on track.
So, now that we are staffed with writers who are clearly fans (or at least know the mythology of the show), we get a showrunner who was a part of the early awesomeness of it. Mr. Carver has been off running the US version of Being Human with his wife (I prefer the original recipe), so he will likely have some fresh eyes for our Winchesters.
Of course, Supernatural hasn’t officially been renewed, a little fact that always makes me nervous, but I think this news makes a season 8 pretty much inevitable. So YAY for us!
