It looks like Robert Singer is still with the show and acting as producer. (And staying on as co-showrunner, it sounds like.)

Vague, intention-oriented spoilers. Most of it I think everyone knows already, though.

Otoh, Kripke as a safety net? Please, Sera, don't fall.

I'd be much more inclined to think of Bob Singer (with his bazillion years of TV experience) as the safety net. I think he's the one who understands focused, intimate stories about people. I believe his input is one of the reasons I always enjoyed "Lois & Clark" so much.

On the fence sbout him. I like the dude and in previous seasons he was good but this last season his eps were among i hated the most. It could be not his fault though but the writers so let's see what he'll bring to the show on his own.

Kripke as a consultant is one of the reasons I am eyeing the anime with suspicion - even though what drew me to SPN in the first place was the fact that it sounded like an anime.

After the nastiness of the comic series, I don't have much faith in Kripke's vision.

What actually made me feel a little better about the anime is that Jensen and Jared were consulted on things--character design, stories, etc. Obviously, they can't remain involved, but just the idea that the anime studio with consult with the dudes who have been embodying these characters for the past five years makes me feel better.

'Cause, yeah. I'd seen comments that made me nervous.
