Ben Edlund has left Supernatural :(

I'm horribly sad now.

He was my favourite... and he and I seemed to have similar thoughts about where Sam and Dean could ultimately end up... and he just writes so GODDAMN WELL.

He's left to go work on Revolution - a show that I don't have any interest in whatsoever.

I know there are still lots of great writers on Supernatural, so don't get me wrong - this isn't me saying that the show is going to suck now and it's all downhill from here. This is just me saying that someone took all the sprinkles off my cupcake and I really like sprinkles, goddamn it!

Revolution certainly needs SOMETHING - be interested to see what Edlund brings - certainly i think some of the emotional depth it needs,. Don't think he'll get the same range to to do what he does on SPN tho.

He'll be sadly sadly missed by me and I am sure many in the SPN Family.

Yeah, I'm surprised at the choice to go over really, given that it would be far more constraining that SPN - but I guess after 6 years on SPN, Edlund might just want something different.

I'm going to miss him hugely. I always looked forward to the Edlund episodes, because I always knew they'd deliver something rich and amazing.

I'm not even sure Edlund can save Revolution though, so I'm going to be petty and hope that Revolution goes under next year and Edlund comes back for S10. :P
