Supernatural Press Conference

I haven’t found the time to fit The CW’s Supernatural into my TV schedule, but I know many of you love it. I was invited to a Supernatural press conference the other night with show creator Eric Kripke, but sadly I wasn’t able to make it.

But, because I love you so, I wanted to let you know what wwent down. A huge special thanks to my friend Rae from Ramblings of a TV Whore (which may just be the BEST name for a TV site…ever) who was kind enough to share the transcript of the press conference with us.

SPOILER ALERT!
This transcript contains MILD SPOILERS for SUPERNATURAL. Spoilerphobes should proceed with caution. Here’s a little taste of the full transcript.

Q: When John whispered in Dean’s ear — what did he say?
Eric Kripke: [laughs] You think I’m going to tell you? No way! I can say this, we do not go the entire season without answering that. As a matter of fact, we answer it in the middle of the season. That mystery isn’t going to hang forever. We are going to get an answer to it but it’s not coming for a few episodes at least.

Q: Are we going to see more flashback episodes this season? Because I’m really in love with the wee Winchesters.
Eric: [laughs] The little Winchesters? LIL? At this point – I’m not saying no – but we’re halfway through episode thirteen. Those first thirteen, at this point, are not flashbacks. We may do them in the second half… we found ourselves so busy with pieces of mythology we needed to tell and revelations we needed to get into and just scary episodes that we were excited about, that we actually haven’t gotten to do flashbacks yet.

Those kids are probably young adolescents right now with peach fuzz on their upper lip but we can always bring in new little ones. At some point we will, I think their whole backstory is a really interesting idea and we want to get into it more. I should also say we’re making, this is all very very preliminary at this point – kind of breaking news for you guys – we’re in very initial conversations to do a Supernatural comic book and our intent is to actually do a Supernatural year one comic book where the story is not about Sam and Dean. It’s the John Winchester chronicles and Sam and Dean are little children in it as he’s sort of taking them on his adventures. We think it’s a really interesting opportunity to explore the backstory and mythology of the show in a way that we might not always be able to do on the actual show itself. We definitely plan of really fleshing out all that backstory. Some will come out in episodes and some may come out in this comic book.
