Watching Supernatural

Recently, the CW Source had an interview with Kim Mathers, executive producer of Supernatural. If his name seems familiar to you, you might remember him from the X-Files and Charlie’s Angels.

In the interview, Manners gives a detailed and fun interview about how he started working at Supernatural. I love how he describes the show as a ‘mini-movie’ every week, and the ‘inner sanctum’ that is the Supernatural writer’s room. He ends the interview by looking into the screen and saying ‘Keep watching, everybody.’ No worries there, Kim. If you keep directing episodes like “Fresh Blood,” we’ll be riveted.

To further our pleasure, we also have Part 1 of an interview with Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, thanks to Ducky TV.

The interview itself is new, but the information in it isn’t very new to the truly hardcore fans. Jensen mentions that they run lines on the ride to work every morning, since they don’t have much time with their scripts and the rides are at least half an hour to an hour long. We also have some new information on their favorite episodes. Aside from Season 1’s “Pilot” and “Devil’s Trap,” Jared also mentions “In My Time of Dying” and “Simon Said” from Season 2. From the shots on set, I’d say that they were filming “Roadkill” during this interview. Again, not new information but still worth a watch.

Ducky Does TV has been lucky enough to get promotional videos from Supernatural that discuss all of those little details that go into making our show what it is. This is some very interesting stuff here, so I really recommend that you watch these two, as well as the SPFX Makeup.

E!Online.com recently interviewed both Katie Cassidy and Lauren Cohan about the rest of Season 3.

Both women expressed some relief over the fact that fannish outcries have diminished somewhat as the season continues, which means they haven’t read this blog and probably the majority of fan blogs out there.

However, we do discover some very interesting spoilers about the upcoming episodes. Cassidy spilled that

“Most of Ruby’s scenes have been with Sam up to this point, but Dean and Ruby end up working together in an upcoming episode. There’s going to be something the two of [them] basically have to overcome.” (Source)

The CW Source caught up with writer and producer Sera Gamble before the WGA strike began. In her interview, she discusses various facets about the strike, how it will affect the show, and even some tidbits about what will happen in future episodes, such as this:

“The episode that I just finished writing is the return of Agent Henricksen. That storyline has been kept alive because the boys have had to lay low so the authorities don’t catch up to them. We wanted to do something really, really juicy with the return of Henricksen, and we really took our time breaking the story. What we came up with is sort of our version of Assault on Precinct 13.”

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the people who work on the SPFX makeup for the show. One of the episodes they mention is “Skin” from the first season, which is particularly educational. It’s startling to see that skin can be replicated by plastic that easily on screen, isn’t it?

Don’t forget: tonight’s episode is called “Red Sky at Morning” (preview here) and will be on the CW at 9/8 central!
