the general direction of season 3, nothing specific for most of the
article, except the last paragraph, for this I have put in some spoiler
space.

Supernatural's Kripke Talks Season 3
Eric Kripke, creator and executive producer
of The CW's series Supernatural, told SCI FI Wire that he's been
waiting to get to the storyline in the upcoming third season ever since
the show began. "This is the season to join the party," Kripke said in
an interview. "Or for fans, this is the season they've been waiting
for. From the beginning I was always like, 'Oh, man, just let us get to
season three.' Because season one and two we set the chessboard, and in
season three, really, all hell breaks loose."
"All Hell Breaks Loose" was, in fact, the
title of the season two finale. It set up a third season in which
brothers Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles)
will be tracking down some of the demons that escaped when the gates to
hell were opened.
Kripke added that the series will return to
a simpler season-long mythology focusing on the ongoing war between
good and evil. "There's so much we're paying off," he said. "I feel the
mythology was great in season one. I think the stand-alones were great
in season two. But I think the mythology of season two was just okay.
It was too complicated. It wasn't as visceral as 'find dad.' And in
season three we're back to a really visceral mythology, which is 'It's
war, what do we do?' And so we're really excited about that mythology,
and we feel, again, it's going to be the most exciting season yet.'
Still, Kripke doesn't intend to leave behind
the show's "bread and butter" stand-alone episodes, which will continue
to explore various urban myths. One of these will even inform an
upcoming Christmas episode. (more info on this after the spoiler space)

here is some spoiler space before the last paragraph I mentioned. It sounds like it will be a good one to me.

"We'll never run out as long as they keep us
on the air," Kripke said. "I just found a urban legend about the
anti-Claus, an evil Santa Claus, the one who doesn't come to give you
gifts, the one who comes to punish you when you're naughty. It's called
the Belsnickel in Maryland. And we were like, 'Great. The Supernatural
Christmas episode.' So there's sort of no limit to those episodes."
