In its fifth season, Supernatural saw what was ultimately the epic climax of a five-year story arc culminating in the apocalypse and a harrowing end for the brothers Winchester. As actor Jensen Ackles told Buzzine, older brother Dean returned from Hell to begin the most normal life he’d ever had, assuming younger brother Sam was now gone. But as the Sixth season unfolds this fall, that’s not the case. Jared Padalecki offers insight into the mind of Sam on Supernatural:
Darryl Morden: Before we get to how Sam is, how are you?
Jared Padalecki: Cry me a river. I worked ’til 3;45 in Vancouver and went straight to the airport. Sort of one of those, am I drunk? No, I haven’t been drinking. Am I asleep? No, pinch me. I’m awake. But today, after a night’s sleep, I’m better.

Look, we’re not going to beat around the bush here: “Supernatural” stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are hot, hot, hot, and every time we get to be in the same room as them, we’re all a-flutter. We caught up with the Winchester boys at Comic-Con in San Diego and had the chance to talk to them about Season 6, which starts one year after the Season 5 finale. Ackles’ character, Dean, has spent the last year as a defacto stepfather to his girlfriend Lisa’s son.
“It’s definitely a unique color for him, you know? Driving a pickup truck to the construction site and having dinner and falling asleep in a normal bed,” Ackles says. He wasn’t surprised to find that Dean took that direction. “I think there was always a piece of Dean that wanted to make an effort to live a normal life, and [Lisa] was the closest thing that he had to that.”
“I think that’s really what he was hung up on, was the idea of what she could bring him. And, you know, she’s not unattractive,” he adds.

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.”

Zap2it is spending the weekend live on the scene with the stars of “Supernatural” at Creation Entertainment’s Salute to Supernatural in Los Angeles, and it seems that all of Jared Padalecki’s co-stars have a bone to pick! Kurt Fuller already shared the story of an on-set prank Jared played on him, and he’s not the only one.
When Misha Collins, who plays Castiel, the rogue angel, is asked about his acting techniques, he sighs. “Here’s what it is. Usually it’s just me, going in there, and as Jared fondles my balls, I try not to laugh. That’s my approach to nuanced acting.”
“When Jared and Jensen Ackles are both in a scene,” he continues, “that’s when it gets really hard. When you’re trying to do your closeup and another actor has his foot in your crotch, it’s complicated. Castiel’s characterization is just me trying to muscle through being molested, honestly. It happens often. I just need to vent: argh, Jared!”
AJ Buckley and Travis Wester, who will be starring in the “Supernatural” spin-off web series, “Ghostfacers,” recall a night of shooting where Padalecki randomly decided to lift Buckley off the ground and walk around with him tossed over his shoulders.
“He didn’t put me down for ages. He thought it was hilarious. He was like, ‘Ha ha, Jensen, look at this!’ Just walking around with me on his back. He’s like, ‘Hee-hee, look at my little buddy!” Buckley says, sighing.
“We were just guest stars!” Wester chimes in. “We couldn’t say anything! I was just sitting there praying he didn’t come for me next.”
It doesn’t end there. Jim Beaver, who has been playing Bobby Singer on “Supernatural” for four years, has come to know both Padalecki and Ackles quite well over the years. “I feel like their slightly older brother,” he jokes. “Though I could never live with Jared. I’m very sensitive to terrible smells.”
“I’m really fond of both of them,” he says. “I just wish I could control certain elements of Jared’s diet. Limiting it to food, for example.”
