New Episode Tomorrow & WGA Strike News!

Episode 3×09: Sam in “Malleus Malleficarum”

Thankfully, our patient wait is long over: a new episode of Supernatural will be airing tomorrow night! Don’t forget: it airs on the CW at 9 pm ET/8 CT! You can watch the preview of the episode here

We’ve also got some very good news from Mike Ausiello over at TVGuide.com regarding the WGA strike. While it certainly doesn’t look like much, it’s definitely heartening.

Nothing’s official, but the buzz is that a tentative agreement has been reached, with an announcement coming as early as tomorrow [January 31st]. But it’s hard to tell what’s solid intel and what’s just spin. To wit: In the past 24 hours, one source close to the negotiations insisted that talk of a resolution was way premature. “There’s no deal,” maintained my spy. “That’s just misinformation put out by the AMPTP to pressure the WGA.” But moments before I put this column to bed, I heard from another very plugged-in source that the deal is done. Short story shorter: There’s cause for optimism, but not celebration. Yet. (Source)

He also had this to say about Episode 11, “Mystery Spot,” and Episode 12, “Jus in Bello”:

Based on what I’m hearing about ["Jus in Bello"] — “It’s awesome” “OMG!” “Frak me!” — I can understand why they’d want to end the season with it. Apparently, the eppy’s climax involves Sam, Dean and a slew of dead bodies. (Source)

ACcording to my handy Latin-to-English dictionary, the literal translations of “jus” and “bello” are “right upon” and “to wage war,” respectively. I suppose that climax is no surprise now, considering the title of the episode and Eric Kripke’s own statement that this season is a “wartime season,” but I’m very curious to see what brings the boys to that climax!

Thank God the hiatus is finally over!

    Actually, “Ius in bello” means “Justice at war” or “Justice during a fight”, even if I think the first one is the more likely meaning.
    As I guess I’ve told you before, the letter “J” in strict latin/italian doesn’t exists and it’s just a way to write a “i”, with a different weight ina prosody analysis.

    Ius, iuris: lat., meaning “right”, “law”, “justice” ( for instance, look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_law)

    bellum, belli: lat., meaning “war”, “fight”.

    in + ablative case (which is the “bello” form”) means “being somewhere”, “during some time”, “about something”.

    Sorry for the know-it-all tone, but if we have to speculate about this mysterious episode, it’s better to know all the facts!

    So, I guess we are going to see something about this war that should give us some good insights, before ending (I HOPE NOT) abruptly this season.

    And thank you for keeping me updated, you’re my official source of news and spoilers!
