Well Supernatural doing Hiatus or in this case Hellatus, as the term coined when season 3 ended before a renewal for season 4 helps. Them doing this I find while frustrating, often helps to get their fans coming back to watch same day new episode airings. Anyone now a days can record or find an already aired episode. So doing this makes the fans excited and wanting to watch it the day it airs. But I will admit SPN normally doesn’t have hiatuses this close to each other. Normally the have one between episode 10-14 as midseason final. And then catch back up 4-8 weeks later.
