A swan song is a farewell. Swan Song is also the name of Led Zeppelin’s record label. That’s so Eric Kripke. Nothing has ever been as it seems with his scripts and “Swan Song” is no exception. The episode took on the ambitious task of closing out a mushrooming mytharc in one fell swoop and has…
This is the part where I still get to feel like the luckiest person alive. Sera Gamble, Executive Producer for Supernatural, was again kind enough to answer some burning questions that surfaced during the first half of this apocalyptic fifth season. Considering the lengthy list I sent her, which included a lot of my own tough questions…
This is an interview with “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke done by Maureen Ryan for the Chicago Tribune back in 2009. This interview has since been removed from their online archives because Mo is now with the Huffington Post. It’s an interview we are rather fond of, so Mo has graciously agreed to let us republish…
Ben Edlund worked his way over after Kripke, and this guy is every bit as wild in person as is his writing. His comments were definitely out there, but he was really fun to listen to. He was more clear in this interview though than I’ve heard him in others, and he behaved himself by not giving…
Jim Beaver came over with his trademark ballcap and black t-shirt with off the wall saying. This time it said, “I do my own stunts.†We all exchanged greetings, we’re fine, he’s okay. Below is the roundtable exchange, and as usual, I’ll identify which questions/comments came from me.
Sera Gamble came over to our table and considering I’ve emailed her a few times and conducted two interviews, an introduction was going to happen. No publicist on a schedule was going to ruin that. I leaned over and told her right off the bat I was getting my fan girl moment out of the way. I introduced…
Our roundtable time with Misha Collins was the least, only about four minutes. Still, we got some great sound bites regarding his recent nasty bicycle accident, being pranked in season five by Jared, and how Castiel has taken up crochet. And is learning how to ride a bicycle. As usual, SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
The Supernatural press room at the San Diego Comic con this morning was pretty full, so much so they divided us into two rooms. The video media got one room, print got the other. In previous press rooms, video got the front of the room and print the back. There were 4 tables of 10 journalists each, and…
So, I was sitting at one of the press tables in the Chuck press room, waiting for all the video interviews to finish so us print media in the back could get a chance to talk to people, when I looked over in the corner and saw standing by himself of all people Robert Duncan…
On a personal note, I was able to confirm from Jared Padalecki at the “Salute to Supernatural” convention in Chicago that he does indeed cringe when he sees your name on a script. In his words, he’s either “naked, crying, or naked and crying.” Do you take some twisted pride in that? Jared is hilarious. The…
A seven week hiatus can be rather maddening. Given Supernatural’s explosive season four and the mind boggling material that’s been presented for ten episodes, this time to reflect has left me with more questions than answers. I’m sure I’m not alone. Thankfully, Sera Gamble, Supervising Producer and Writer for Supernatural, an instrumental player in developing the…
This is the Sera Gamble interview that was published on blogcritics in June. Since I’ve mentioned it in a few of my most recent articles, I thought it should be here. This was a true thrill for me to do, and I hope to get the opportunity again someday. I’d love to pick her brain…
