We were lucky enough to join a small group of fans at last weekend’s Supernatural convention in LA for a ‘private Q&A’ with Jared and Jensen. Private is a relative term – it’s not like we were having alone time with the boys, alas. But talking to someone sitting right across from you, without an intervening microphone, is a lot more informal than asking questions in a packed auditorium with security flanking both sides of the stage, so this was fun – and an excellent opportunity for some more Fangasm questions!
Jared and Jensen pulled up chairs (Jared immediately spun his around and straddled it, leaning his elbows on the back like a big kid) and were laid back and eager to chat. The small group of fangirls (and one fanboy), on the other hand, were surprisingly quiet – and maybe not so surprisingly nervous. Some had their questions written on index cards, presumably in case the sight of the boys up close and personal and engaged in normal conversation was too distracting to allow higher brain functions to work properly – which we can completely understand. Lynn was the only one partaking of the appetizers that the con thoughtfully provided – hey, free food! — though she managed not to talk with her mouth full for the most part.
We were thrilled when Jensen brought up his admiration for Serge Ladouceur’s talent during the Q&A on the main stage earlier (you can read about our own admiration in our two-part interview with Serge here). In the private Q&A, Jensen brought Serge up again, saying that he’d even lit the two Dean’s differently in “The End”, a subtle but crucial difference.

“Supernatural” is the Little Engine That Could of genre TV. It struggled to maintain its ratings when The WB folded into The CW, and has been on the verge of cancellation more than once. At the 100th episode party, executive producer Sera Gamble laughed, “Nobody ever thought we would get this far!”
The cast and crew celebrated in style. Zap2it was on the scene at the Creation Salute to “Supernatural” while stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki enjoyed breakfast with fans and talked about the party, where Ackles sang with his band, The Impalas.
“The entire band — it’s six guys, and every one of them is a crew man on our show. One of our guitar players is also our boom operator,” Ackles says. “It wasn’t like we held auditions or anything.” While it’s doubtful that The Impalas will be taking their show on the road, Ackles isn’t ruling out repeat performances. “Hey, we’re going back for a sixth season, so we’ll definitely get to play again.”
“It was pretty rockin’,” Padalecki adds. “Encore tour!”
The 100th episode milestone isn’t one that a lot of shows reach. Padalecki is quick to give credit where it’s due. “It’s really because of [the fans]. This is a show that’s hard to follow and you all got involved and kept involved. It’s one of those shows that smart people know about,” he jokes, “but not the rest, so it’s good to know that we have such a powerful support force.”
