You guys are not cool. Really? One day before the scheduled return of Supernatural, and you pull this kind of stunt?
I've watched your network for years now because of Supernatural. I even had to switch satellite provider to find one who can give me a CW station because my local area doesn't have one. Yet you are making me feel you care not at all about fans like me.
I have made plans with my friend weeks in advance to watch the shows this Friday night together. Now guess what? My TV will not be tuned anywhere near the CW station. It's a good time for us to check out other shows that I've been meaning to take a look.
Oh, and I will not be tune in CW tonight anymore either. Nor next Thursday, the week after next, and so on.
I will still come back for Supernatural if you guys don't pull the plug on that. But given how you treated the show and its fans, I have no faith in you anymore.
Sincerely,
A Very Disheartened Fan
ETA: Castiel has a stern message for @CW_network on Twitpic

Maureen Ryan tweeted about it, and Jim Beaver tweeted about it too, so did @SuperWiki, so I think it's true.
This kinda reminds me of this infamous radio host a while back (in Austin, Texas actually) who filled one whole day's radio with only one song, play repeatedly over and over. Guess what? The station fired his a$$ the very next day.
Oh, I see. I also play only one song the whole day when I'm loving it but it's nuts if it's played on the radio!
Go Cas!!!

Have a safe flight dear! <3
I think this is a shity thing. It fucked up my day.
Hope you are well dear.
I believe CW will never have another fan base like Supernature's ever again.
I love Cas' message, though!
Have a great day!

Hee. The last two episodes you say? Well imho "Caged Heat" is a pass, I pretty much hated it, although there's a scene with Mark Sheppard vs. Mark Sheppard, and a scene between Dean and Samuel Campbell worth watching. But "Appoint in Sammarra" is so worth watching. It's even poetic with its A storyline. And I find the choice Dean made there marked a significant character growth. And most of all, watch out for the scene between Death and Dean. Gosh, I love Julian Richings to pieces. He and Jensen together make such compelling scene that you'll feel drama practically leaping out of the screen!
Actually, I have a ton of problems with the characterizations of both brothers, which is making it difficult for me to watch the show.
I have read about the Dean/Death scene, and given what you said, I may just fforward my VCR to that scene to see it!

At the back of my mind (the conspiracy theory loving part), I can't help wondering if this wasn't some contract negotiation strategy at work. Not too long ago, the soon-to-be stepped down head of CW Dawn Ostroff announced the very likely pick up for Season 7. But I'm not sure if Jensen and Jared's contracts are current.
This kinda reminded me of what happened years ago to the other show I watched: "The Guardian". In the middle of season 3, the shows writer/creator David Hollander's contract with CBS was ending (at the end of S3). The show was in fact produced by Sony Television, and promoted/broadcast on CBS. At the time, rumor had it that Hollander was leaning towards signing with Sony Television instead. The head of CBS Les Moonves pulled TG off air in the middle of the season and replaced it with the then new show "Century City" (a terrible terrible show). CC lasted only 3 episodes because the rating just tanked. CBS brought back TG and Hollander announced he signed with Sony Television. Right after that, CBS announced the cancellation of TG at the end of season 3.
It doesn't bode well for me that CW is partly owned by CBS. >:(
We'd like to believe art's for art's sake, but the reality is all of them are in it for profit - the network, the production company, the writers, and the actors. Or there wouldn't be contract dispute.
Surely the new episode will come back next Thursday, and I hope you'll enjoy it to the fullest. Don't worry about what will become of the show months down the road - live in the moment, that's my new motto. :D
Hmm... wait a second, the show is coming back in a week, though an agonizing week :)
We are boycotting everything else on CW except the Supernatural! We are even going to watch the reruns to support my show. ;)
By the way, did you know we are to participate in Nielsen's Survey for February Sweep?
