7 reasons it's a great time to be a 'Supernatural' shabiki 

EW Community TV Show Episode Guides and Recaps from EW's Community

fan, I have to say, it’s a great time to be an avid

fan. Maybe it’s just perfect timing, or maybe it’s the fact that the cast, crew, and network behind

have embraced the power of social media and the fervor of the fandom to make this feel like the most exciting time since the show’s inception.

Mark Sheppard returning as 'Supernatural' series regular for season 10

So, with under a month until the October 7 season 10 premiere, let’s take a look at what’s going on.

1) The Season 10 (lovingly dubbed snX by the gag reel) teasers have been awesome.

My sweet SPN, happy anniversary, honey. (You're still as pretty as the day we met.) #9yearsofSPN

Anyone know what happened 9 yrs ago today? Yep, that's the day #Supernatural first aired! #HappyBirthdaySupernatural pic.twitter.com/MKPLfPWHQi

3) Supernatural just filmed its 200th episode, which is a huge milestone.

5) The Season 9 DVD and Blu-Ray were released and, as someone who got one, I can tell you it fundamentally rocks. It has commentaries, the season 9 gag reel (which is ammmmmaaaaaaaaazing), deleted scenes, the 2013 Comic-Con panel, and the awesome

mockumentary, hosted by Misha Collins. However, my personal favorite feature is the Men of Letters Interactive Set Experience, because I love the Men of Letters bunker and learned a lot of very cool things.

6) Mark Sheppard and Misha Collins were made series regulars for season 10.

7) Finally, the trailer for new season is AMAZEBALLS. It looks like the SPN team is ready to make us all get in, sit down, shut up, and hold on. Samantha Highfill wrote up a great sneak peek on what’s coming this year and spoke to executive producer Jeremy Carver. I’ll let you click to avoid spoilers.

If you ask me, this is the best time to be a part of the SPN family. If you’re not one of us, you still have time. Get caught up. Here’s “The Story So Far”:

Geek Girl Diva is a walking IMDb and a lover of television shows like Supernatural, Sherlock and Doctor Who. She’s watched a live autopsy and The Blacklist, although not at the same time ... we think. It’s a toss-up on who she wants to be more: Thomas Harris or Daenerys Targaryen—although Daenerys has dragons. We’ll go with the mother of fire-breathers.
