Supernatural’s Exciting Return
Like every “Supernatural DVD“ fan, we are breathing a sigh of relief now that Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are back on good terms, being honest with each other, and doing what they do best.
Of course, after six seasons, we know better than to assume that will last very long. Right?
We spoke with executive producer Robert Singer, and he says that in the remaining episodes of Season 6, Sam and Dean aren’t going to turn on each other. “There are no obstacles in the sense of their relationship to each other,” he tells us. “It’s always been our plan that we’d rip them asunder in the first half of the year, mend that relationship, and then have it grow over the remainder of the season. That’s really what we’ve done.”
That said, things aren’t about to get easier for our boys by any means. “There are some big obstacles that one of them has to overcome as we get nearer to the end,” he says. He also confirms that Lisa and Ben, Dean’s pseudo family from his year without Sam, will return in a very “interesting, high-stakes” way.
When we last saw the Winchesters and Bobby, they were holding a funeral for their friend Rufus (Steven Williams), one of the more emotional deaths this season. We will revisit the implications of his demise. “We talk about it,” Singer says. “There’s a certain amount of onscreen grieving, but it doesn’t really carry episodes. We’re really sort of running toward the end here, and we’ve got a lot of ground to cover of this mystery we’ve told throughout the year. We thought that was a really great episode, but we wanted to follow it up with something that had more humor and lightness to it.”
Supernatural DVD returns tonight, Friday April 15, with an all-new episode titled “My Heart Will Go On,” a more lighthearted episode about what happens when the angel Balthazar decides to go back in time and prevent the Titanic from sinking. (He didn’t like the movie.) Oddly enough, the episode airs on the 99th anniversary of the tragedy
