Our Smallville interviews are going to start getting a bit precious as the clock winds down to the final episode next year. Luckily, we got two in at Comic-Con.

Laura Vandervoort and her adorable Canadian accent are back for the 10th and final season as Kara Kent. According to Laura, hijinks will ensue between Clark and her character.

The great thing about Comic-Con is the overwhelming information download we get from the cast and crew of our favorite shows. There are interviews aplenty, and we just love sharing them with you.

First from The Vampire Diaries we have Michael Trevino, who plays werewolf-to-be Tyler Lockwood.

We're back with more Comic-Conny goodness! This time, we've got Supernatural's own Misha Collins, who tells us what we can expect from the re-angelized version of Castiel now that he's got his mojo back. Plus, he drops some hints about how well Cas and Dean will be getting along after last season's events... and we're guessing things don't start out all that smoothly. Take a look!

We've got lots more coming from Supernatural -- you're going to love it. Stay tuned!

You ask, we deliver! We're still recovering from the non-stop sensory explosion that is Comic Con, but we've got the first of our video interviews ready to go. First up: Erica Durrance of Smallville.

Erica gives us some hints about how things will change between Lois and Clark now that she knows about his dual identity, talks about playing the damsel who isn't all that distressed, and tells us who she really wishes she was sharing scenes with. Check it out!

This is just the first of many, folks. Stay tuned for more from Smallville (we're editing our video chat with Justin Hartley as we speak) and the rest of your favorite CW shows!

There are many words to describe the Supernatural panel at Comic-Con, but the most appropriate is probably HILARIOUS. Then again, we wouldn't expect any less from the show that introduced the word "douchebag" to The CW's modern lexicon.

At the same time, we don't come to Comic-Con to simply be amused (yes we do), and you guys want to know the scoop.

So what can you expect in season six? Monsters, and lots of 'em. According to Sera Gamble, the apocalypse was fun and all, but now they just want to "shoot monsters in the face." We'll still get some of the deeper mythology, but we'll most likely be moving away from the loftier of the metaphysical beings.

The show will pick up a year later with Dean, who has been tamed and domesticated and, GASP, tucks in his shirt. We know it's shocking, take a Nembutal. Obviously he'll have some issues with this, which will lead to the additional hilarity of Dean struggling with a washing machine or something.

And we know you waited with bated breath, but Kripke had no answers for the Chuck-is-God thing. That, he said, was meant to be open to interpretation. Something about avoiding being "M. Night Douchey."

Probably the funniest part of the panel was the gag reel from the season five DVDs. There's our Comic-Con insider tip: Pick up the DVDs, if only for that reason. Plus, it has Jensen and Jared. No brainer.

We have to say, attending the Smallville panel this morning was a much bigger thrill than the enigmatic Vampire Diaries panel last night. And it's not because it's the morning and we haven't gotten burnt out on panels yet. The cast was energetic and forthcoming, and it was nice to plumb deeper depths than the nature of Justin Hartley's abs. Not that there's anything wrong with that. We just prefer not to feel dirty after attending a panel.

We'll be seeing some old favorites in season 10, including Laura Vandervoort and John Schneider. We'll also be seeing more of the red and blue suit, which is actually the same one used in the film "Superman Returns," which is just plain awesome. However -- not to doubt your muscles, Tom -- you might need some creotene to get to Brandon Routh proportions. That guy is a horse.

Other points to note about season 10 are: Tess will be back to stir the pot some more, Darkseid will be the primary villain, and Tom Welling will direct another episode. One attendee got to take home Welling's signed name plate when she asked for it during Q&A -- although that was only after John Schneider told the security guy to back off and just give it to her already. That's why he's Jonathan Kent.

All in all, it was a good panel. We especially liked the touching moments. Tom Welling recounted working with Christopher Reeve, who, Welling says, stayed to work four hours more than his nurse's instructions. And that is why he's Superman.

If you like hot men and a lot of shrieking, then you probably would have loved The Vampire Diaries panel today at Comic-Con. There were plenty of bawdy jokes about Paul Wesley's abs and Ian Somerhalder's, well, everything, but not so much on the side of new information.

What we did learn: Mrs. Lockwood will be the interim mayor after the passing of her husband, Tyler's uncle will be coming to town for the funeral and will help reveal more about what Tyler really is -- and, even better, we can expect to witness the full transformation -- Stefan and Katherine will come face-to-face in the season premiere, and we'll see some Alaric/Aunt Jenna action. We know that seems like a lot, but is it really anything unexpected? Not really.

So what did we get for waiting in line with the other plebes and enduring ear-drum shattering shrieks? A season two teaser trailer that the cast and crew just wrapped yesterday. We learned a few things, or at least were led to assume them. One of which is that Katherine is an even bigger bitch than previously thought. We see her tell Damon that she never really loved him and ram an iron poker through Stefan's midsection. At least she had the dignity to stab him in the front.

Other than that, it was all very "you'll have to tune in in September." Trust us, Kevin Williamson, we'd still do it even with a few more spoilers.

The freshman vampire romance dominated the Sourcies, winning eight of the 10 categories. The Salvatore boys and the women who love them brought wins in Best Kiss, Best Fight, Hottest Moment, Best Villain, Biggest Surprise, Best Recurring Character, Favorite Bad Boy and Best Cliffhanger.

But the Winchester boys and their allies on Supernatural fought back. They managed to fend off the bloodsucking fiends and take the Funniest Moment and Most Heartbreaking Moment categories.

If you take the two televised titans out of the equation, One Tree Hill, Smallville and Gossip Girl got the most love. One Tree ill was second-runner-up for Best Kiss, Most Heartbreaking Moment, Favorite Villain, Funniest Moment and Favorite Recurring Character. Smallville was second runner-up for Best Fight, Hottest Moment and Favorite Cliffhanger. And Gossip Girl brought in the yellow ribbon for Biggest Surprise and Favorite Bad Boy.

Congratulations to all the shows, and thanks to all of you for voting!

Everyone loves a bad boy, even if they don't want to admit it. The same is true at The CW, so we're not going to judge -- we'll leave that up to you. Whether it's Dean, Damon or Chuck, we want to know about it. This time, it's good to back your rebel without (or with) a cause.

You know we love our stars on The CW, but sometimes it's the people we don't see every week that make a show shine. With that in mind, we've got a passel of familiar faces nominated for Best Recurring Character. Take a look:

We're winding down the competition, so this poll will close MONDAY, JULY 19 Wednesday, July 14 at 11:59pm Central. (Sorry -- I'm apparently really looking forward to Comic Con, because I jumped a week ahead on my calendar.) One vote per person. Feel free to share this poll with all and sundry, but send folks back to us to comment.

And congratulations to The Vampire Diaries, which won the Biggest Surprise category with the revelation that sweet little lip-locking Elena was actually fiendish, finger-chopping Katherine. Chuck's disappearance on Supernatural was a close second.

The Sourcies love a good laugh, and The CW loves to deliver said snickers. We had plenty to laugh at on our fave shows this season -- sparring couples, secrets (and more!) revealed, high-times hijinks, badly worded confessions, smirking bad boys, and a certain "homage" to other TV shows that left no one unscathed. Take a look:

Which moment split the most sides? Your votes decide! The poll is open until 11:59pm on July 11. One vote per person. Feel free to share the poll (and send it out to all your fellow fans -- that's what's driving the voting!), but please send people back here to comment.

Editor's note: Le sigh. Once again, we're having trouble making a closed poll believe it's a closed poll. I've begged our poll provider for help with this, and I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, here's a screenshot of the results taken after the poll was supposed to close:

Congrats to Supernatural, which narrowly edged out The Vampire Diaries with a 4.5 percent surplus of votes. No one else even came close (although OTH fans did their best for the Brooke/Haley v Bunny Battle.) Thanks for voting!

And congratulations to Katherine from The Vampire Diaries for winning the closest competition yet! She took the title over Lucifer by only nine votes. Nine! We're thinking Lucifer should put her on payroll, because she's obviously got the chops to be his number-one purveyor of mayhem while he's trapped in the pit.

Apparently the CW enjoys the sound of jaws hitting floors, because they served up several helpings of surprise this season. What shocked you the most? Baby drama? Mistaken identities? Relationship surprises? Big character twists? Take your pick for our contestants below:

Poll closes at 11:59 pm Central on July 7 (assuming our poll provider fixes the bugs). One vote person. Feel free to share the poll, but send people back to us to comment.

In results news: After a seriously hard-fought battle, Supernatural ended The Vampire Diaries' winning streak by the barest of margins. Congrats to Supernatural for taking the Most Heartbreaking Moment category!
