:
Exclusive Interview: SUPERNATURAL'S ERIC KRIPKE & ROBERT SINGER RETURN DAD TO THE SHOW & A PREQUEL COMIC
Look for the demon war to explode in the finale of season two plus a prequel comic book series starring John Winchester
By SEAN ELLIOTT, Senior Editor
Published 1/25/2007
As Sam and Dean Winchester continue their trip down the highway to hell on the CW’s hit show SUPERNATURAL, there are two men who know better than anyone what sort of critter lies in wait for the boys just around the corner.
iF MAGAZINE traveled the dark paths of these men’s minds to bring you the scoop on Sam’s dark side, the return of dad Winchester, where the series is going, and the big announcement of a prequel comic book series.
iF MAGAZINE: Will we be seeing the return of Dad Winchester this season in some form or other?
ERIC KRIPKE: On SUPERNATURAL there’s room for anything. Spirits can come back; demons can come back, so yeah we’d like to bring dad back in some capacity. Jeffrey Morgan is a very busy boy so trying to find a schedule that works for all of us is a consideration as well. But yes, we’re talking about finding a way to bring him back
ROBERT SINGER: [Laughs] What he said. We’ve got some plans in the works.
iF: How evil is Sam going to be before its all over?
KRIPKE: I’ll say this, there’s certainly a reason all of these kids have been chosen, and there is something evil within all of them. We don’t choose these children pel-mel there’s a reason why these children are special; which we reveal at the end of this season it’s in the finale. That’s all we can say.
SINGER: There’s a fine line between good and evil and we’re walking it.
iF: Do you have season three on the boards already?
SINGER: Yup. We know what season three is going to be conceptually. We have sign posts along the way and we know where we want to get to during the course of the season.
KRIPKE: We’ve been talking about seasons one and two about this war of demons against humanity that keeps threatening to begin; I can say this without giving too much away, that at the end of season two that war begins. Season three is in many ways about them fighting this war. The value of that mythology is we don’t have to get so wrapped up in bicentennial levels of complexity and mythology; it can just be a war has begun. War can take many different, painful for the guys and fun for the audience, forms. We still plan on keeping the same level in season three between self-enclosed and mythology episodes, we just plan on ramping up the stakes, because this war keeps getting bigger and bigger and more and more dangerous. That’s been fun for us because every season things keep getting more and more dangerous and worse and worse but we can still convey it to the audience that doesn’t become too bewildering or complicated.
SINGER: Eric has always been saying since day one that he doesn’t want to tease the audience with the mythology. When we do a mythology episode, questions would be answered and it would have an end to it and not just cliffhang, cliffhang, cliffhang. What we’ve done this year is answer a huge question at the end about the mythology, but it opens up a much wider world and a bigger mythology and I know it’s going to be satisfying for the audience.
iF: In season one in the “Wendigo” episode you didn’t show the creature because you weren’t as happy with it…was “Crossroad Blues” and the hellhounds an example of that this season?
KRIPKE: It’s actually an example of what we learned. There’s a difference between season one and season two for us. In season one we said,” we’ve got this Wendigo, let’s see it, let’s design a monster!” In season two we said, “we got hellhounds and we’re never going to see them. They’re invisible hellhounds!” We were smarter from the jump how to convey these creatures and to not try to mount creatures that we knew were beyond the constraints of our limited time and budget. One of the reasons we feel the show is more successful this year is we’re smarter about that. For my money “Crossroad Blues” is one of my favorite episodes this year. It’s just as scary if not scarier with out seeing the hellhounds.
iF: Admittedly that episode with the facial distortions was the one that freaked me out the most this season so far.
KRIPKE: Oh well good!
SINGER: The question came up to today as far as what scares us, and I think I speak for Eric here too, when we saw the first test of the facial thing we both went “whoa!” [Laughs]
iF: You guys made the transition from the WB to the CW, did it give you any more freedom on the new network as to what you can show?
SINGER: We’re moving to CBS next year. [Laughs]
KRIPKE: I think in some ways we have freer reign on the CW, but that’s in terms of storyline. In terms of visuals and the gore and violence that we show, there’s been a pretty close similarity between what the WB and CW would allow which is a lot.
SINGER: When you’re directing one, you have try to push the envelope and they’ve been pretty good and reasonable, so as a network experience we’re happy in terms of what they let us do in storytelling and in being graphic.
iF: Any critters that you guys haven’t done yet that are coming on?
KRIPKE: A couple big ones coming up, we have an episode where the boys realize they may or may not be hunting an angel and we feel that introduces interesting issues of whether or not there is a God and should they be hunting an angel. There’s an episode coming up where we introduce werewolves into our mythology and Emmanuelle Vaugier plays a werewolf and a pretty hot one. That episode is called “Heart” and Sam has some hot naked sex with her before he finds out she’s a werewolf. Then we have an episode where the boys investigate a haunted movie set, which has been a lot of fun for us because they go to the set of a cheesy horror movie directed my McG. He’s either going to be in it or an actor that plays him, we’re still working it out. We play with all of the haunted movie set mythology like the POLTERGEIST set, the THREE MEN AND A BABY set; it’s called “Hollywood Babylon”.
iF: Do you ever feel like you’ll run out of urban legends?
KRIPKE: No, not really. I can go online right now and find about 300 of them. If we run 27
SINGER: We actually like the more obscure ones. We have all of these books like “Weird America” and “Weird New Jersey” books that I never even knew existed. Our office looks like Agent Mulder’s office. You spend tweny minutes going through these things and all of a sudden you find something that works in the story that you’re working on and it’s new to the audience. We feel duty bound to do vampires and finally getting around to werewolves and I think that’s to satisfy people’s expectations. I think it helps with the characters when they know more than the audience does, then we sort of educate the audience. Even when we do vampires, they’re different and our werewolf is different.
iF: This might be a stupid question, but did Sam wear a cast this season as the character or because of something Jared Padalecki did to himself?
SINGER: He had a real injury. He broke his wrist over hiatus and didn’t take care of it as well as he might and then on the vampire episode when they attack him in the motel room and the guy hits him over the head and he falls, he fell on it and that was that. Two days later he was in a cast.
iF: Any other shows that you guys are fans of, that you would like actors to guest spot from?
SINGER: I thought BUFFY had a great cast, and we used Amber Benson. I’d like to get Spike [James Marsters] on our show. I never thought I would particularly like BUFFY, but my wife got me hooked on it, and I was hooked on him. Plus, that series was so well written. It was so smart.
iF: How far through a season do you guys start road mapping out the next one?
SINGER: It’s a little fluid, like this year in the middle of the season, we’ve changed direction on the finale from what that was going to be. Once we decided that, it opened up a whole new world as to what season three was going to be. I fully suspect that during season three we’ll do a course correction as well, because we’re always open to saying that things are not chipped into granite.
iF: Any SUPERNATURAL merchandising that we’ll be seeing?
KRIPKE: There’s a SUPERNATURAL comic book being published by DC and Wildstorm written by Peter Johnson, who is one of our co-executive producers. It’s not about the boys; we’ve worked very hard to make it not another craven piece of marketing, but something that fleshes out the universe of the show. Bob [Singer] and I are intimately involved so it feels like, for us, the un-produced episodes of the show. It’s the John Winchester story and it’s called SUPERNATURAL ORIGINS. It starts when mom is burnt on the ceiling, but instead of flashing forward twenty-two years, it stays with John Winchester and it details how he became a demon hunter and how he met characters like Missouri, and Ellen, and Bobby for the first time. It’s the story about a demon hunter with two children and how does he find the demon that killed his wife? So, it’s not about the boys at all, it just fills in the blanks in the boys’ childhood. We’re starting with a six-issue series, and if it sells well then the sky’s the limit. We have twenty-two years worth of stories to tell.
iF: This is pretty unique to find a comic that closely tied to a TV show, especially being written by the show’s writers.
SINGER: He’s involved in everything.

Kripke and Singer are fantastic - they should totally get Charisma Carpenter on the show as a love interest for Dean. That would be awesome.

I love the show, Jared has been my favourite actor for a while now and I heard that the show was in danger of being axed after the 2nd season. Please don't axe the show, I can't wait to see the rest of season two and buy the DVD's when they come out. Please let there be a season 3 and beyond.

I just want to say thanks for making such an amazing show! I love reading interviews that Erik Kripke does because his passion is so evident, I truly believe that helps make the show what it is. Not to mention the truly amazing acting by Jensen and Jared...they play their roles absolutely perfectly. Keep up the good work all, can't wait for the finale and the war to begin...

Love supernatural and will watch it as long as it on tv (for many years I hope. I really want to know how this is all going to end this season, but also, where Dean stands? We always hear you talk about Sam, the demon, the other kids and where they are all headed, but other than being Sam's protector and lifeline, we never hear about Dean unless it is related to Sam's 'destiny'. Is there something about Dean (I am not talking powers like Sam)that will make us go whoa, I didn't know that?

I'm really heartened to read that Mr Kripke and Mr Singer have plans for a 3rd season, I really hope that we'll know soon if they get commissioned for that season.
Here in the UK we have had to wait until now to see the first episode of Season 2....it did not disappoint, and now I am primed for the rest of the season. I hear my friends in North America commenting about the episodes that are airing their at present and I am getting really excited at the prospect of seeing them.
I am also greatly interested in the prospect of the comic....I hope it will sell outside of North America.
I have one query. I wonder if either Mr Kripke or Mr Singer know why the DVDs of Season One which went for sale in region 2 (Europe, including the UK) only had the episodes and none of the extra commentary or outake extras that were contained on the DVDs in the US and Canada, and will they be able to make sure that we don't get left out again when the season 2 DVDs are produced?
Keep up the good work with this fabulous production. Kudos to the writers, the actors and the whole team for giving us such great TV.

Supernatual is great show, it's like going on an adventure ride with these two boys. I started watching Supernatural becuase I hated reality shows and did not care for prime time soap operas. And yes, I was huge "X-Files" fan. There's not two many shows that has a good story to tell and explores relationships between brothers,it's always about sisters or girlfriends, very boring. This show has it all action,drama,suspense,comedy, and even romance. I'd like to see the brothers fight over a girl and maybe she turns out to be a ghost. :)

Robin M. from Houston, TX sez....
All of my friends and family know not to disturb me for an hour on Thursday night. The primary draw for me (and the majority of the fans) is the troubled, angst-ridden yet devoted-beyond-death relationship of Sam and Dean Winchester. There is - wow! - character development and thanks to the acting chops and writing, so very believable. Even the minor characters are drawn so well that I find myself not liking Jo. I am also a horror fan and certainly enjoy that aspect of the show. Thanks to Mr. Kripke and Mr. Singer and all involved for creating such a fantastic show. May the beautiful Winchester brothers continue their journey together for many, many miles.

Sarah Chauvin from Missouri sez....
I absolutely LOVE this show! The writing is great, the acting is great, and I definitely admire the dynamic between Jared and Jensen. The fact that they play brothers is just amazing, especially with the snark and all, it makes it really believeable. And those two are just AMAZING period! Also I love the music, especially Renegade at the end of Nightshifter - that was so perfect. And about you feeling 'duty bound' to show things like werewolves and vampires - sure they make for a great encounter, especially with having so much different lore about them, when you know the things you choose to be real on the show are gonna be what people believe now to be true, since the show makes everything so believeable (like you already did with vampires, when you said that all that stuff about the stake to the heart and such wasn't true). But I'd say the only way you'd ever have to put them in there is if you're trying to attract new viewers like from Buffy or something. Those of us who have been watching for a while are pretty much open to anything, and we like the diversity of the show - feel free to do whatever you want with it! If you stick to too much of the old stuff people might think it's gonna turn out too much like those other shows. We're already different, and we love it, so let's keep it that way!

I am so obssessed with Supernatural ever since it first shows here in the Uk...what a GREAT AND FANTASTIC SHOW SUPERNATURAL IS ....I MUST SAY THIS IS THE BEST ONE EVER AFTER WATCHING BUFFY!! BUT I PREFER MY 'SUPERNATURAL' CAUSE IT GOT THOSE TWO CUTY GORGEOUS WINCHESTER BROTHERS (JARED & JENSEN) WHO WE CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF AND KEEP US HOOKED EACH WEEK ..EVEN THOUGH WE GONNA HAVE SEASON 2 NOW WHICH WILL BEGINS THIS WEEKEND (4TH FEBRUARY) HOW LATE IS THAT !!!! BUT THANKS TO THE WEBSITE I CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THE SPOILERS AND MEDIA CLIPS.. OH BY THE WAY SAM IS AT LAST FREE OUT OF HIS CAST AFTER WEARING IT FOR 6 EPISODES ... I THINK..!!! THANK YOU ERIP KRIPKE FOR GIVING US SUCH A INSPIRATIONAL SHOW AND OUR HELLRAISING STARS JARED AND JENSEN !!!!YOU ARE THE MOST TALENTED AND SUPER STARS OF THIS SHOW AND THAT'S WHY WE LOVE THIS GREAT SHOW...SUPERNATURAL IS THE BEST AND IT WILL SURELY RULE FOR MANY MORE YEARS IN THE FUTURE .... LOVE YOU JARED AND JENSEN ...

As a recently relocated Kansas.....I love the fact that the boys are from my hometown of Lawrence! I can't wait to see the whole local urban legend unfold......(Stull).....it's an enjoyable show and I make sure to watch it every week! The boys do need to learn not to pick up objects that are connected to a crime/murder or use latex gloves so they don't get their fingerprints on things!!! Granted, it's a little too late now! I'd like to see them actually earning some money.....maybe at least two minutes....just as a reminder they do more than scam! As for James Marsters being on the show...that would be awesome! I am keeping my fingers crossed for season 3-6 to happen!
1/29/2007 7:33:43 PM
Amanda from Kansas sez....
I am amazed at how quickly I became addicted to this show. Just like with Buffy, Angel, X-files, and even Firefly, I have never missed an episode. Each one gives you something to love and think about for the week between. The hard work that goes into the production and writing is evident. And the acting is fantastic. The dynamic between Jensen and Jared as brothers and partners is completely believable as well as relatable (if you take away the whole hunting evil thing). The guest stars and returning characters have been a pleasure to watch and the way the overall mytharc is woven into 'stand alone' episodes provides something for everyone. Not to mention the music. Love the music. I have to agree with the hurt/comfort peeps out there. It's wonderful to see Dean comfort and care for his little brother, but I'd like to see Dean try to tough it out through a physical injury that Sam has to save him from or care for him through. This season has been about role reversal -- hurting Dean and not having him Superman his way through it, having him need Sam to save him, would be an excellent way to depict that.

Syd from Pittsburgh sez....
"Duty bound" to include vampires and werewolves "to satisfy people's expectations" is an insult to the audience. Loved the show from the beginning, especially the Americana & urban legend aspect. They really have a good premise and great characters. Why waste it by repeating other people's work to feature the celebrities of creatures. If I want to watch crap, I'll go to the other Thursday at 9 pm shows.

I agree with Betty from California and Terry from Australia - give us a good hurt Dean episode - where Sam has to tend to his brother. Hurt/Comfort thing. Awesome. Besides that - love the show. So well written, so funny and serious at the same time. And scary.

The best thing on television. I swore after Buffy and Angel ended that I would never get involved with another WB (now CW) serial- then Supernatural came along and blew that right out of the water! From the perfect brotherly love/hate relationship between the main characters, the stand-alone horror scripts, and the overlying demon plot that keeps me hooked- every aspect is dead-on. I just wish that a few million more former X-Philes would realize that a show of equal or better caliber is on TV right now. Spread the word, and keep this show on for five more years, people! And also, yay! Comic book!

I love the show alot and watch it every week im with Cat from Europe we dont need to see jared sex up in a episode. The way he was in hellhouse was great with just a towel and some skin.after that i thought i was on fire i has so hot. If the show gets to sexual and doesnt stay with the mythology of the show they may lose alot of viewers who just dont want to see sex stuff on tv

I'm like an addict when it comes to this show. My younger brother told me about it, because he knows I love the genre, but this one blew me away. I got my daughter hooked on it too. I can watch CSI and Greys Anatomy on summer repeats, but I can't miss my Supernatural. Love the brothers, the complexity of their lives. I wish you years of success with this one.

I watch one hour of TV a week, and it's Supernatural. Also, you've got me blogging. I work with computers, and I swore I would never give up my off-duty hours to more computing. Never say never.
Kudos to everyone involved with the show. The writing is excellent, the acting is incredible (somehow getting better every week), the look and feel of the show is wonderful... Catching the theme here? Thanks for putting out such a great show, and for caring enough about it (and the fans) to actually have a goal for the series.

I just wanted to add my praise and agreement to the comments of the other fans, and to congratulate Mr.'s Kripke and Singer on such a well-conceived and written show. This show is so intelligent and well-done that I can't ever find anything to criticize about it. Jared and Jensen bring so much to the roles of Sam and Dean that it is difficult to imagine anyone else having been selected to play them. Their talent and chemistry is a joy to watch each and every week. My biggest hope is that the CW recognizes what it has in this show and will begin to advertise and promote it better than they did this year. All Supernatural fans need to spread the word and get as many folks watching it as possible. Pump up the numbers, and it will stay on the air a long time. Supernatural is the jewel in the CW crown, we need to make them realize it.

I've loved this show from the start, the chemistry between all the actors is incredible, REALLY looking forward to the comics, I was actually just discussing that with a friend recently, we want John's backstory, hard to find anything new to say to praise this show, which tells you all you really need to know about how great it is. Thank you so much

Was drawn by the urban legends and stayed because of the fine acting and storylines. The connecting storyline with the brothers, the hunting community, and the demon's plans have made each week until Thursday night full of anticipation. Gave up on CSI without a qualm once I saw the very first episode. Hope for more seasons to come.

Supernatural is one of the fewest "intelligent life" on TV.We have a bit of everything (suspense,humour,"mythology",family dilemas,investigation,etc) wrapped in well written, filmed and acted episodes every week. I´m 39 years old and Supernatural makes me remember Starsky & Hutch ( always S&H / Sam & Dean; the "car thing": red Torino/black Impala, the way they solve things, the chemistry between them and the smart quotes that they use to say...).Let´s help that everybody knows that this show deserves many seasons.

Thanks for the interview it is good to know that the they are planning season three. I hope the network realises that there are many more fans in different countries that love the show. The new comic book, great idea, Where do i get my issues. 'John's story' is as important as the brothers.
To all involved with Supernatural Keep up the good work.

Season two started here already (unlike in the UK) and I am so addicted to this show, it is no longer funny. It is extrememly well written, love the characters and bascially everything about it (music, screen shots...everything is just perfect). Just please keep it for.

Terry from Australia sez....
I can not get enough of Supernatural...It is intelligent, suspenseful, funny, loaded with talent both in front of and behind the cameras. I adore the relationship between Dean & Sam and agree with Betty from California, love the hurt/comfort thing. When the show does come to an end (and please please please let that be a long way down the road) I beg you not to kill of our heroes. I am so tired of the heroes dying for a "greater good"...there has to be some fairness, with all that the characters go through. Let them receive a text message with coordinates just when they think it is all over or something...not get killed! Kudos to everyone involved with show it gets better and better!!!

Lainey from Australia sez....
I just love love love this show :) The relationship between the brothers has so much chemistry and just shows what fantastic actors Jensen and Jared are. The writers keep coming up with awesome stuff!! I have season one on DVD and season two just started here. I can't wait to find out what happens with Sam and the secret
1/25/2007 11:51:10 PM
Betty from California sez....
Adore the show. Well written, funny, sad, scary, infuriating, grisly. Please give us a good Hurt Dean episode. Sam gets headaches, give Dean an injury. But not one that's fixed after the first scene. Let him suffer a little while Sam tries to help-while they're stranded somewhere. If you spend five minutes reading fanfic you'll realize this will become your number one episode. It's a hurt/comfort thing. Guys don't get it. Trust me. Guaranteed hit.

magoghair69 from illinois sez....
I love this show. I love the chemistry between the brothers. I love the the investigating they do. I love the angst not only between the brothers,but with all they have to deal with. I love cheeky Dean. He has like the coolest quotes. I love angsty Dean cause is sooo unlike him to open up,and be out of control.Jensen is such a talented actor to be able to bring that kind of depth to his character.I Love sam too they way he deals with his brother,and the angst of what he could become...I'm just completely floored by this show...theres so much talent coming thru in the writing,the acting. I cant wait to see the direction the guys will be taken in. Thank-you so much for creating this show.

Supernatural is truly the best TV has to offer. It has everything and if someone is not watching it, it can only be because they are still not aware of the show. Once you watch, you will be hooked on it like the rest of its fans. The relationship of family is the mainstay of this show. The three J's are absolutely fantastic and so memorable as the Winchesters. Love it!

Anya from California sez....
Supernatural is an amazing show. It's up there with Farscape and Buffy. I just saw "Night Shifter," and I was on the edge of my seat the whole hour. Outstanding! I can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out. As good as season 1 was, this season has already surpassed it! Keep up the excellent work, and thank you to all involved, including Kripke, Robert Singer, Kim Manners, Jensen, Jared, and everyone whose names I don't know yet. You rock!

Supernatural is my favourite show by far. I've kind of annyoed my friends thanks to my constant ranting, but most of them watch the show so at least they know what I'm on about!
Season two's just started here in Australia, and I can't wait till season three!
I hope the comics are in Australian stores; I'm sick of great American TV shows having merchandise but isn't in Australian stores.
Once again, love the show. Keep up the great work everyone!

I love the show. The writing is phenomenal! The actors are so talented! I've done all I can to spread the word that this is a fantastic show, that deserves a lot more viewers and publicity than it gets. I'll keep raving about the show and hope the series continues for years to come!

Mr.Kripke,
I got my 14-year- old students into urban legends and folklore thanks to you (ESL) . Best research and oral production they`ve produced so far this year. Now THEY `re hooked on Supernatural too. THANK YOU !
Thank you sir

McPark from Tennessee sez....
WE LOVE IT!! How about introducing the "good" side of supernatural? At this point, that would be quite a twist. Not necessarily the good versus evil story, just some "good" supernatural energy weaving in and around it all? We've seen a "good" pack of vampires....surely there are more. However, its our absolute favorite show, we love the actors and writers, would absolutely love to see more ex-Joss Whedonesque actors...girl power!!!! N(60) & M(42) THANK YOU.

This by far is the best show out there...I can't get enough of it. The storylines, are awesome, and what can I say about Jared and Jensen? Their chemistry onscreen reminds you of real life brothers. They are incredible actors, and make this show my number one choice each and every week. Keep up the great work!

Krissy from Cleveland, Ohio sez....
One hours of television a week (DVDs excluded), and it's Supernatural. Love it more than I can say.
Gotta say this: James Marsters on Supernatural? You'll kill me from the ultimate fangirl joy.

Thank you to Kripke, Singer, Jared, Jensen and all the amazing people working on this fantastic show.
