Supernatural Season 8 Still Soldiering On

Supernatural fans and in particular those who are adamant that Misha Collins belongs right up there with Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki in terms of star billing and heart throb status will be pleased to know that thus far, Misha will be appearing in 8 episodes of season 8.  Now who wouldn't swoon at the thought of everyone's fave blue eyed angel Castiel and tingling, toothy smile 'n' all being around.

There are some who were peeved to say the least when Misha dropped his billing status as a regular to occasional guest star, after helping the Winchesters through so much he deserved better.  Even if he was, at times, a thorn in their side as only Cas would know how.  Mind you, there are other hardened fans who believe the Winchesters should be left to their own devices, only Sam and Dean together on the road, as in the old days.  Sadly they won't have that dynamic again, at least not foreseeably, since they've come too far and the plots no longer just focus on a 'monster of the week'.  Firmly believing three's a crowd.

The jeering, the leering, the unabashed naivety of Cas, not to mention womanizing in the future in season 5 and pot smoking, the fight in heaven, with hell, other angels, working for Crowley, would all lead him to end up in Purgatory.

Misha is glad to be back for more eps and so are we.  In an interview with IGN he said, "the way in which I do come back is not at all what I expected.  I'll be back much more significantly this season [8] than last."  As for his disappearance at the end of season 7, that will be revealed in episode 2, so US fans won't have to hang around long for that mystery.  Alas the same can't be said for other fans around the globe.

Season 8 Supernatural titles so far are as follows, (just in case you too have been sitting in limbo and have missed them)
8.1 We Need to Talk About Kevin  Think this would have looked better as just We Need to Talk.
8.2 What's Up Tiger Mommy?
8.3 Heartache
8.4 Bitten
8.5 Blood Brother
8.6 Southern Comfort
8.7 A Little Slice of Kevin
8.8 Dean Amuck

Don't know about you, but I liked the titles from earlier seasons, okay some of them were songs, movie titles etc, but they went well with the episodes and also the subject of the episodes too.
