July 1: Shooting starts on Season Five. (due to finish on March 29, 2010)

mid July Just before Comic Con 2009 Misha Collins falls from his bicycle while doing 55 mph (according to him). He reportedly had a bad scrape to one arm and was quite sore. He subsequently tweeted about the incident, and posted a picture he had taken WHILE IN THE AMBULANCE.

July 26: Comic Con 2009

Comic Con is attended by Eric Kripke, Sera Gamble, Ben Edlund, Misha Collins and Jim Beaver. There was much talk of Season Five. When asked about the response to religion in the show, Misha Collins joked that Eric Kripke is planning to turn Supernatural into a religion and Kripke agreed. "I'm gonna L. Ron Hubbard this shit!" he quipped with a laugh. Collins added, "Way better money than syndication."

Ben Edlund reflected on the show (spoilers in interview):

This is a thing that started with a deceptively simple premise of a muscle car and two beautiful men... who shoot ghosts, where the fuck did that come from? [Laughs.] They drive around a shoot ghosts, oooh classic rock! And I like this show, I like it, I love it.

August 4: Porn and fart jokes
Sera Gamble talks about the writers' room:

It's a really raunchy slightly pornographic room. I like it that way. We're kind of immature and we have Dean's sense of humor in the room. I'm very much included in that. I have the sense of humor of a twelve year old boy, that's why I work on the show.

August 10 Up to Speed
The CW - not known for active promotion of the show - air "Up To Speed" a two and a half minute spot designed to catch viewers up on the mytharc, in advance of the Season 5 premiere.

• In sentiments similar to those expressed at Comic Con, Kripke tells Michael Ausiello:

I have every intention of ending the story with a bang and not drawing it out or watering it down. That having been said,” Kripke continues, “I’m looking at this season as the last chapter in this particular story. That doesn’t mean there can’t be a new story."

September 1: Season 4 DVD released
Stock sold at Target features a disc with material from Comic Con 2008, and that at Bets Buy came with a "lenticular" cover.

September 6 From FrenchSeries Mag N°59. Jensen talks about Season 5. He also says when asked if he and Jared still get on in this fifth season:

Yeah ! I know people are surprised about this but there is no fighting on the set and no jealousy between us, we really became brothers. Besides our girlfriends are friends too so we can hang around together you know, all the four of us. I think Jared and I will be friends for life once the series is over.

He mentions his sadness over the death of Kim Manners, and also AGAIN talks about how he's love to do a Western-episode "I really hope to see the brothers riding horses to chase demons before the end of the series".

September 10: Season Five premiere #luciferiscoming The Season Premiere is proceeded by Supernatural fans getting both God and Lucifer banned from Twitter. Read about all the action - complete with screencaps and graphs!!

September 14 Eric - why don't you have JDM on speed dial?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan says he'd love to return to Supernatural especially if this is the last season.

September 21 Gone but not forgotten.
Kim Manners death is overlooked in the traditional "obituary roll call" at the Emmy's. Kim wouldn't have been surprised. He once said when asked about SUpernatural's chance of getting an Emmy:

I directed 53 episodes of The X-Files and never had a nomination for an Emmy. We won 2 Golden Globes, we were never nominated for best drama Emmy. The people that run the TV industry truly think that this is just Sci-Fi nonsense," he says. "Today, if you’re not doing Desperate Housewives or some stupid legal show or a guy with a cane who’s running a hospital, you don’t have a ‘great’ show.

September 22Bicycle built for two. Dannel posts a pic on Twitter of her and Jensen on a tandem bike. October 6
Entertainment Weekly names Supernatural as one of the 25 top cult TV shows of all time.

Amd only the Supernatural fandom is picked out for OUR creativity:

Why It's Cult: Because some members of the show's small but passionate fanbase have taken to writing fan fiction. And any show that inspires people to want to continue the heroes' adventures on their own time qualifies as cult. (We'll not mention that some of that fan fiction has the Winchester brothers doing things that brothers shouldn't be doing. It's called Wincest. Nuff said, ja?) —Marc Bernardin

Of course this sorta makes it sound like we invented fan fiction or that only these rarefied cult shows have fanfic written about them. Dear EW maybe we should send you some American Idol fanfic.

October 10 Star interview with Jared and Jensen
Translation of a Dutch interview yields some wonderful inisghts into Jared and Jensen - and how they view each other.

Jared: You know something else he does? He gets over things real easy. I once watched in amazement how he was scolded by a producer and then simply said: 'Are you done? Let's go get a beer now.' I am much more of a thinker and really have to take things in and deal with what was said.
Jensen: But on the other hand you can be like that too. You are modest and relaxed and also avoid fights. And you're one of those guys who wants to be left alone to do his own thing. You're not that much of a softy.

On being vain:

Jensen: Oh right, thanks, again! I used to be a model. Because of that I'm trained to care about the way I look. Or better put; to be aware of what I look like. I love good suits and, yes, my hair needs to be cool before I leave the house. That's it. I'm not the kind of person that goes to a beauty salon.
Jared: When it comes to clothes I'm not that vain, really. I wear what I like and usually that's whatever I find in the morning when I look around my bedroom. Like today: I'm wearing a beany because of an incredibly bad hairday and I'm not wearing anything special, am I? But I do make a big deal about my body. My biggest fear is to become fat.

Added bonus: in the post with the translation, Stephani Ware appears and accuses the poster of being Danneel Harris!

October 22 Drinking with Misha
A loltastic flirtatious interview with Misha by Korbi Ghosh of Zap2It. Misha says this about reading slashfic:

So there's these fan conventions..and I've mentioned it in the Q & A things and you can sense the whole audience tensing up. they don't want you talking about this weird, slash fiction weird pervy stuff they get up to. So i do like to bring it up for that reason.
