I think I’m gonna like this ep, haha.

Supernatural star Jensen Ackles has admitted that he enjoyed shooting an upcoming Wild West episode of the show.

Last month, showrunner Sera Gamble revealed that the installment will see Dean (Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) transported back in time to the Old West.

“The western episode was one of those ‘woo hoo’ moments,” Ackles told Zap2it. “It’s kind of every little boy’s dream to do a showdown, and we got to do that.”

The actor added that it had been “gratifying” to work with former Heroes star Matthew John Armstrong, who plays the ghostly Elias Finch.

“I caught myself just watching Matt,” he admitted. “He had this long monologue [in one scene] and did a really good job, and I just got caught up in watching him work, and then realised that it was my line.”

[588] 6×06 You Can’t Handle The Truth

The CW has pushed back the anticipated return of Smallville and Supernatural — by one week.

Why oh why? Are they afraid of Fringe?

Here’s the reason, according to a CW insider:

The network wanted a chance to re-peat tonight’s return of Vampire Diaries and Nikita on Friday to give their midseason debuts some additional sampling. Diaries, in particular, is going up against Idol. Plus, there’s some local market pre-emptions that are going to mess with the scheduling of tonight’s shows in certain cities (Chicago and Baltimore, if you must know).

So … there. See, it’s not really an exciting answer, and it’s probably more complicated than you wanted, but it all makes sense, and doesn’t mean anything bad for Smallville and Supernatural aside from having to wait another week, right?
