SUPERNATURAL: Robert Singer on Casting Henry Winchester, the Returns of Castiel, Benny, and Charlie, and More

Over eight seasons, SUPERNATURAL fans have learned quite a bit about Sam and Dean’s parents, plus their maternal family, the Campbells. But in Wednesday’s episode, “As Time Goes By,” viewers will get to meet Henry Winchester, the paternal grandfather of our boys.

The CW hosted a screening of the hour earlier today, and after, executive producer Robert Singer talked about finding the right actor for the important role, teased a few upcoming returns, and the possibility of season 9…

SUPERNATURAL: Jared Padalecki Teases ‘Hijinks’ in ‘What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?’

As if Dean and Sam didn’t have their hands full with trying to keep Kevin safe on SUPERNATURAL, in tonight’s brand new episode, they also add Kevin’s mother (played by Lauren Tom) into the mix.

When SUPERNATURAL star Jared Padalecki (Sam) talked with reporters on set recently, he indicated that addition of Kevin’s mother will be a little tough for the Winchester brothers.

“We’ve had Bobby and we’ve had Cas and we’ve had some of the roadhouse hunters…but there’s a ‘tiger mommy’ forced upon us, so we find ourselves in the situation where we’re like, ‘We don’t want to buckle our seat belts, we don’t want to just chill out. Let us do what we do, we know what we’re doing,'” Padalecki teased in the video below. “But it’s some nice hijinks.”

Take a look at what else he had to tease about the hour!

SUPERNATURAL: Family Remains

This was an entertaining enough stand-alone episode but it’s not one that I think I’ll be watching much when I ultimately get the season four DVD set. As shocking/gross (in a good way) as it was, I didn’t really connect with it overall. I’ve been trying to put my finger on what my problem with it was, and I think it’s that we didn’t get much in the way of character development or a sense of moving the story forward at all. Not to say that every episode has to feature Castiel or epic revelations, but there wasn’t much interaction between the brothers – the focus was very much on the family at the center of the drama of the week. It sort of had that feeling you’d get when you’re watching your favourite sitcom and realize the whole episode is about the neighbour or coach and you realize you’re being acquainted with the new people because they are about to be spun off into their own show. Since I’m pretty sure we won’t be watching Family Remains: The Series next year, I’m not sure why the show took this turn.

That being said, they weren’t lazy with the twists and turns at all. Just when I thought my jaw had dropped as low as it could, another twist and/or disturbing visual would cause it to go down another notch. As deep as my love is for Supernatural, it doesn’t often have the intended effect of scaring the crap out of me, like a lot of people who watch the show. However, tonight they didn’t play fair – first they featured a scene with the urban legend that scared me most as a kid and then there was the ghost-that-wasn’t-a-ghost and her rat-eating, murderous ways.
